Xperia 1 VI working on US T Mobile
Xperia 1 VI working on US T Mobile
So I finally got my preorder of the EU version and activated it without needing support by using the esim transfer on my old pixel. After close to a week now I've had 0 issues!

That page requires a login or something to download full quality. I'm not really trying to sign up for a Japanese website. Thanks anyhow.

I don't think there is a difference between the US & International Version, just maybe the Bands it covers. But the Sony Xperia is a SOLID phone.

Someone on the subreddit did a full band comparison. it seems like the hk variant is best for US customers this time around? I have really been loving it so far tho. Feels more premium than my p6 pro I upgraded from.

Ouch, no band 71 at all. That'll hurt T-Mobile extended range and indoors as it is their largest low frequency band. The EU version at least supports one T-Mobile 5G band, and their largest at that (41).
Band 12 and 13 will help low band scenarios with AT&T and Verizon respectively. No band 14 means no AT&T service in rural areas like (my always go to example) western Nebraska where it is AT&T's only low band frequency.
Definitely not the worst band support, but not great either.
Too bad the US is such a toxic environment for cool phones with all the carrier-induced "certification" they put in the way to prevent low-volume and niche manufacturers from bothering.

Also, don't forget to fold your laundry

And the expense reports are a must

I've been putting those off...

Just to add on, I am using an Xperia 5V on tmo us with no issues either.

So Sony started making smartphones again?
-
I'd love to slap LineageOS on a modern sony
Loved their devices back then, especially because they offer an extended range of updates specifically for developing on-top of AOSP, even including (Major) Kernel Updates
That on a modern device? Count me in

Awesome to see that Sony development is still kicking <3
