The Xperia 1 V is expected to launch in a way reminiscent of those of its predecessors, which may irritate some customers in important areas like the US and UK. IT guru Marques Brownlee has previously explored the problem of lengthy waits. The well-known tipper ZACKBUKS, who usually shares information on forthcoming Xperia smartphones, has been talking about the Sony Xperia 1 V's potential release date. According to a Weibo user, Sony will essentially follow the same process as it did for the Xperia 1 line's earlier variants, with a launch announcement made in May and availability (likely for China and Japan) beginning in June. The tipster is content enough to forecast a May release and a June availability even if no exact Xperia 1 V release date is specified or conjectured.

For comparison, the Xperia 1 II gadget wasn't made accessible outside of Japan until May 2020, and it didn't arrive in the UK or the US until June and July, respectively. The Xperia 1 III was given a similarly delayed release date of 1 June 2021 in China and 19 August in the US and UK. For purchasers in the US, the Sony Xperia 1 IV experience became worse because it was made available in China on June 1, 2022, but it didn't reach North American soil until September. The Sony Xperia 1 V might experience a similar fate, which would irritate one of the lineup's celebrity backers. Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) gave a positive review of the Xperia 1 II in a video from October 2020, however around the end of the video—specifically, around the 10-minute mark—he talked about the laborious release process that Sony puts their Xperia 1 phones through. Also Read: Sony’s new, small Xperia 5 V is projected to rival other Xperia flagship smartphones in terms of RAM by 2023. He claims that although the device was introduced in May of that year, he didn't acquire one until October. Even though the phone featured many features that were worthwhile, much of the hype had worn off by the time it arrived, and the Xperia 5 II was already at the door (although it didn't reach in the US until December). Maybe Sony will make sure that the Xperia 1 V is more easier to obtain than its predecessors for its fans in the US and UK.
