Sony has stripped the Xperia 1 of some of its AV features, but does it make it a more appealing device for the masses?

How does it compare to the 1 V? In terms of audio

I bought it on launch after almost 3 years with an iPhone 13 Pro. I liked the change, the size was big, but the phone is light so it doesn't bother much. But there were a lot of quirks of that phone that don't seem big, but soon were quite frustrating. Things like no possibility to wake the screen on touch or phone movement. Each time to check notifications you have to press one of the physical buttons. The camera always goes back to the last setting used. So video, zoom level etc. When you're used to it coming back to photo on zoom 1 level, you often realise you are shooting a video rather than taking a quick pic. It is annoying and often you miss a moment because of that.
Battery life is great.
Camera performance at night is just meh. Especially on any levels of zoom.
I dropped the phone in the river while canoeing. I was glad to collect the insurance and buy a Pixel 9 Pro XL. It is a bit too heavy, but I am having a much better overall experience with it than with the Xperia.
