How to update your Sony device →
This device has expired. Now what?
No more security updates will ever arrive for the Sony Xperia 1 V. If it's your daily phone, the safest move is to replace it — ideally with a model that stays supported for years. The old one still makes a fine offline camera, alarm clock or backup device.
The Sony Xperia 1 V in detail
How many years of updates does the Sony Xperia 1 V get?
Released in July 2023, the Sony Xperia 1 V received security patches until May 2026: 2 years and 10 months in total.
Among the 24 Sony phones in our database, 14 were supported for less time and 9 for longer. The median is 2 years and 6 months.
Across all brands, the median for phones is 4 years.
The last patch came out 5 months ago.
Can I keep using the Sony Xperia 1 V?
Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after May 2026 stays open. For daily use with banking, messaging and passwords, a supported device is the safer choice. As a spare without your main accounts (alarm clock, music player, camera), it's still useful. Do a factory reset before you give it away or recycle it.
