Sony Xperia 1 V Unlocked

Listing approved. Thanks for using Swappa.

Good Morning Jack,

Thanks for posting such detailed photos and details about this device.

May I kindly ask why you're getting rid of it? Something about the device that isn't up to snuff?

Thank you,

Jordan

It's a fantastic device. I have a developer that ports a cleaner aosp build to this device. I followed his projects from Xiaomi 13 pro and now the Xperia. Both are Snapdragon 8 gen 2 and the processor speeds are fantastic and not a heater with temperature. But..I wanted because of the cameras, they are great.
The developer is moving to Pixel 8 pro.
My 8 pro arrives tomorrow too. So I listed at the price point I could live with selling.

Ahh I understand Jack. Thank you so much for the transparency.

Out of curiosity, will the phone be shipped to its buyer with the "cleaner" AOSP source code installed?

To that effect, what changes were made to the device's software off of this AOSP build you've installed to it?

I ask because as an Xperia 1 III owner, it was doable, but annoying nonetheless to remove some of the force installed bloatware like Tidal, Call of Duty, etc.

No, it has the listed Sony International build current as of yesterday's updating. It's shown in the picture "about phone" last line on screen.The developer has already moved on and his builds are not public. So rom maintenance has been dropped.
I used device as stock for months as developer was creating.
I mostly just disabled the stock international apps I didn't use.

I understand Jack. Thank you for the clarification.

Respectfully asking, is your price negotiable?

Thank you kindly for your prompt responses!

Not in any real large amounts. This price reflects what I could acccept $ wise after everything gets taken out. Example 20 to allow a yes sale, likely. More ? Definitely not 75-100 less.

To further clarify - This device comes with unmodified stock (Sony) android as intended, how about US roaming? Does it support 5g T Mobile?

Yes, please look at Android version number on the picture of "about phone". That number refers to latest International device. Which is the XQ-DQ72. I was using T-Mobile mvno Mint as my provider. 5G support is supposed to be available on the US market XQ-DQ62, but having used the modem firmware from US model while I was on a AOSP private build it was no better than the -72 model. So I can't answer directly if that is correct. If you want a US model than that's all I can say. 5G speeds you had better find someone who has the US market model to verify. You will not get Bootloader unlock on the US model...that is fact.
