Sony Xperia 1 VI 256GB - Silver - Unlocked

All works great. Brilliant device. The only thing is that I didn't notice if it was specified that the phone is Japanese version, not global version, so I had to go through the hassle of debloat it.

Everything is fine, even if the device is a Japanese model and not a European one. In the 5G network, there are problems in the 800MHz band, but that is only used in rural areas. I was able to uninstall various pre-installed Japanese apps. So far, no problem.

Very good phone, in impeccable premium condition. It's a Japanese SOG13 version (with carrier bloatware), which as is, is not compatible with the B20 band (800mhz). This is problematic for getting good reception indoors, as this frequency is the most effective for signal penetration in buildings, especially if there's concrete... But this flaw can be circumvented quite easily by flashing the modem to the European version with NewFlasher and XperiFirm. After that, the 800mhz band works and everything is normal. There's no need to try flashing the complete European XQ-EC54 firmware, it doesn't work; you just need to extract the modem files from it. The carrier bloatware can be cleaned with Universal Android Debloater (however, I haven't managed to remove the camera shutter sound, but oh well...). In summary, a perfect Xperia 1 VI for a good price (especially if you get the 300GB plan with it).

perfect, as described, condition; fair price; extra cable included; super fast delivery

Device is Japan version and 5G is working very Limited and slow in Europe. Very good otherwise. Have to return the device.

Device from Japan, but since it has the same hardware and a European firmware was flashed, I have no problem with it. Condition is excellent. The battery could last longer, but that's nitpicking.
