Horrible device. Would have been better with the snapdragon 8 gen 1 plus as it doesn't overheat as bad and has extra performance but this is typical of Sony always playing catchup. Sticking 4gb extra ram and a bit more storage doesn't make this a gaming device. Any long gaming sessions will result in a big performance drop because of the heat.
Matthaus , 12 Sep 2022The Sony Xperia 1 IV Gaming Edition is a complete waste of money for $1200 with a Snapdragon 8... morereplacing the bad with the worst lmaoo Iphone would die in half hour , basically you still didn't heard of a feature call HS power control 🤡

so a phone just need to have 16gb ram and 512gb storage to be considered a gaming edition phone.
This is what I call rebranding. Plus this phone was a hot mess.
blue, 12 Sep 2022Really, there is some use for 16 GB RAM in a phone? Even 8 is more than enough.When someone needs to play game (like PUBG, FORTNITE, etc,.) fluently and at the same time need to stream 16 GB ram is not even sufficient..... 😁

Darknoor, 12 Sep 2022You know why? Bcause it is in fact an overkill.Huge ram is never an overkill. Many will thank manufacturers for that.

Think this was their plan all along, make a phone that nearly catches fire then sell you a cooler for it, lol! It looks really horrible, the fan is too thick and it has no physical controls. The ports at the bottom are basically like any USB-C dongle.
8 gen 1!?
why sony, whyyyyyyyaaauuhhhhaggghhhhhh 😬😬
you ruined the entire phone by just having that chip what do you guys not understand????? 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️

So if you can cool it enough. If you cool Intel 11th gen it can go upto 8ghz but gen 12 will probably come with 4.5 ghz
Sony be like MSRP: $2000
Although I really don't understand the people on here whose pastime is dunking on Sony's phones (or any other brand, for that matter). Get a hobby, folks

I don't need 21:9
I need 19:9.
Man they missed the opportunity to put the darn SD 8+ GEN 1 again!!
Anonymous, 12 Sep 2022Install android on iphone. Lets see if it can match phones powered by 668. iPhone doesn't need android because it already beat all android smartphones in performance and software period.🤡🤡🤡
My question is why sony did not use the snapdragon 8 gen 1 plua that had already been released before the xperia 1 5? take out with the previous soc that on top of that heating... even samsung abandoned its hot node hahaha! another that will make the same mistake is google with tensor 2 exynos abandoned by samung
oh my god, Sony... you and your prices...
To anyone who think about getting one... just get PS4 or xbox controller and mount for phone that cost about 5 bucks and you can play any mobile game even on most of mid-range smartphones. I have old poco x3 pro that can run any game and.... it doesnt throttle cpu as s8 gen1 xD
No one with brain will buy that for 1200$
