Sony Xperia 1 V Unlocked

Listing approved. Thanks for using Swappa.

I could do $600

Hi,
I'm VERY interested in the Sony Xperia 1V you're selling. While I understand that the phone is categorized as "Unlocked", I was instructed by my Cell Carrier (PureTalk) to obtain the complete IMEI no. first so I can check its compatibility on their website. Do you mind providing me the complete IMEI no. so I can cross-check it with my Cell Carrier (before purchasing) ?
ALSO, I've seen some reviews saying VERY good things about the Video Camera (and Camera) on the Xperia 1V . A few months ago, I recently purchased a Samsung A25 5G and have been VERY Unhappy & Dissatisfied with its Video Camera feature. Outside of basic phone use, the MAIN feature I want with a Smart phone is a (Really) GOOD Camera & Video camera, as I often attend Concerts & other events that I like to capture on Video. I wanted to know if you've had any experience using the Video Camera & Camera on the Xperia 1V ? , and if so, your thoughts, as this Samsung Camera STINKS. Thanks for your help.

Please note that sellers should not share IMEI information nor are buyers permitted to ask for it. This FAQ page explains why: http://swappa.com/faq/sell/share-esn-numbers

Hi Matthew! As Christian points out, Swappa does not permit the IMEI to be shown in the listing but it is required to create a listing so they check to ensure it is legit. The IMEI will be shown on after the sale is made on the Sales page.
In my opinion the camera looks great and has a ton of features but I suggest you read reviews and watch a few YouTube videos to form your own opinion as I don't want to try to sell you on something and have you be disappointed!

I understand. If that's the case, can you check it on PureTalk's website for me ?
Simply, go to PureTalk's website -- https://www.puretalk.com/
(Just below top of screen) Look on the right where it says "Check Your Phone" and click on "Check Phone" . Then, on the pop-up window, select "Android"'; then on the next pop-up screen, type in the complete IMEI no. and hit "Submit" , and tell me what it says.
I can't afford to purchase the phone first and then find out the IMEI might somehow be incompatible.
PureTalk uses AT&T towers, and a special PDF on AT&T's website shows Xperia 1V as "Compatible", but just in case there's a possible technical issue w/ PureTalk and the IMEI possibly showing NOT "Compatible", I'd like to know first, please. Thanks.

Here are the results from PureTalk:

Great News!
You can bring your current phone with you to PureTalk!

Your phone cannot be tied to another carrier contract or payment plan. This compatibility checker does not validate if a phone is locked or unlocked. Contact your current carrier if you are uncertain, and they can unlock it for you.

Okay, I'll reach out to PureTalk -- Thanks for checking. I'll also further research info. and Reviews on the phone, esp. regarding its Camera and Video Camera features & functionality. Will touch base soon.

hi,,,is the device Dual sim? how is the battery health on this paticluar device?

Hi Michael,
Yes, this is dual sim. It can take 2 physical SIM cards.
No issues with the battery. Battery health is reporting good.

Alright,...Are you willing to take offers?

Is the phone Pre-Owned ? If so, how long was it used (days/hours, approx.) and how long does the battery hold up during a day's usage with medium call activity ? Is there possibly any flexibility on the price ?

The phone is preowned. Battery life on the phone is great. It is on par with any android flagship phone. I was getting around 6-8 hours of SOT with medium to heavy usage. Keep in mind, this may vary depends on your own usage.
As far as flexibility on the price, I already offer the cheapest price on Swappa but may be able to knock a few more bucks off.

Thanks for your reply. Obviously, from your answer, this isn't an "Open Box" phone (i.e. New, but Returned shortly after being purchased), but for How Long/How Many months (as much specificity as you know) has the phone been used and operated ? This model Xperia came out in July 2023, so knowing when the phone was initially purchased and HOW LONG (since July 2023) the phone has been (regularly) used and Operational prior to putting it up for sale is Very Important in my purchase decision. I don't know if the phone is previously your own or if you bought/obtained it from someone in order to sell.

I purchased the phone pre-owned on 10/08/2024 so I do not have much information prior to that date. I listed the device on Swappa on 10/13 and tested it on Google Fi in parallel for about week to ensure functionality.
