A: Sony usually guarantees 2 years' worth of updates for phones. I personally own Sony phones since Xperia Z3 and that's about what they really do. Unless there is a critical patch that must be patched, then updates such a a firmware upgrade will be done up to 2 years from the inception of the model.

Q: Is this model compatible with AT&T or any other carrier?
A: This is an unlocked phone meaning that the cellular communication radio(s) are not limited to a single carrier and should work with AT&T. I purchased mine to use on TMobile and it works perfectly, in fact the reception is better than my previous 4G model. Also when buying from Bestbuy and as a TotalTech member you get the damage protection which costs extra from the usual phone companies.
A: They support wificalling, it works on 1and 5 IV but you have to enable it DIY way. Theres a step by step guide on XDA forum ,it simple you get shizuku app and pixelIMS app and then just follow a guide to enable that stuff,doesnt void any warranty as you arent messing with anything like bootloder or root access .
A: Hi Scott, Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, the Xperia 1 V is an official factory unlocked smartphone and is compatible with all major U.S. Carriers (Verizon, AT&T/Cricket, T-Mobile). Bandwidth compatibility may vary by carrier. please consult with your network operator to ensure compatibility with their network.

Its imaging prowess is complemented by a host of other features, from immersive entertainment to functional, tactile design. Regards, Jess
Q: When will this be in stock at Best Buy? It says "Unavailable nearby" for me...
A: Unfortunately they do not carry it in store. You have to order it and hope it fits your needs. When I ordered it the phone rep had never seen one. They promote Samsung and Apple.
