I am a long time Sony fan and very much wanted an Xperia 1 V because it is the last of the line to be made with gorilla glass. I knew I would love the phone but the one that was delivered was in much better condition than I expected and it arrived much faster than I thought. so thank you very much, Back Market.

The phone is PERFECT! Not a single mark or scratch or anything on the casing, battery power is great and screen immaculate as described. Considering it's "good" condition I'm really really happy! And have already recommended to multiple people!

Great buy - phone is great for the price and looked in mint condition. The only negative was quite a lot of Japanese built in apps on the phone (I assume that's where it originated) but doesn't seem to affect anything important. Would definitely buy from Back market again.

Honestly amazed. I was a bit nervous and thought I'd never buy something like a phone second hand but I read the other reviews and took the leap and honestly I'm so happy with my new (to me) phone! Was rated good but barely any noticeable marks. I can get that new phone feeling without spending a fortune. We should all move away from the consumerism and buy refurbished! Will definitely come back when I'm ready for another change.

Arrived in excellent condition as promised, looks like a Japanese import model that has hardly been used (virtually no marks or scratches to be seen but some Japanese apps installed). You warned me the device may not work with the Three network (which I'm on) but I took a gamble and it seems absolutely fine with my SIM card. Waiting for a case to arrive and not tested the camera yet but I have transferred most apps from my old phone. Spotify and the all-important headphone socket work perfectly! Screen quality is great. This is a key part of getting my life back on track after my old Sony was smashed up in a road accident when a careless van driver knocked me off my bike, landing me in hospital!

It takes time to move to a new device as technology has moved on. That aside I'm glad that back market prices makes it possible for me to keep up and it is a more sustainable option. Enjoying the voyage of discovery in moving.

Sony Xperia 1 VModel
The Sony Xperia 1 V stands out as Sony’s flagship smartphone from 2023 and still feels fresh in 2025, especially for fans of cinematic displays and pro-level photography. It carries on the Xperia tradition of large, sharp screens and powerful hardware, while adding new tricks for creatives, filmmakers, and anyone craving a unique Android experience.
Key features:The Sony Xperia 1 V is ideal for content creators, filmmakers, and photography lovers who want more manual control and advanced creative features than you’ll typically find on mainstream smartphones. It’s just right for those who prefer a taller display, value physical headphone jacks, or want to shoot cinema-style videos straight from their phone. If you’re deciding between Android flagships, the Xperia 1 V’s pro-level tools set it apart from options like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra or Google Pixel 8 Pro, but be prepared for software that leans more ‘professional’ than ‘plug-and-play’.
Pros & Cons:| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| 4K OLED display with 21:9 aspect ratio for cinematic viewing. | Display may feel narrow and tall for typical smartphone usage. |
| Pro camera features, including real-time eye autofocus and RAW shooting. | Camera app interface is complex for casual users. |
| Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 delivers reliable flagship performance. | Software updates may lag behind Google or Samsung rivals. |
| Headphone jack and microSD slot—unusual for modern flagships. | Speakers are solid, but trail the best in the market. |
Choosing a refurbished Sony Xperia 1 V means giving top-quality tech a second life, keeping electronics out of the landfill (and giving your wallet a breather).
