Sony’s premium smartphones have been a class apart, to begin with, and they never gave into the hype or trends in the industry. Well, Sony is today overhauling its premium XZ lineup at the MWC 2019 conference and has announced the Xperia 1, with a massive 4K display, triple cameras, and a lot more exciting features. The company also announced the mid-range Xperia 10 lineup with some of the same features.
If we talk about design before diving into the raw specs, well, the Xperia 1 is no different than its predecessors. It imbibes the same aesthetics and durability of previous premium Xperia smartphones with a metal frame and Corning Corilla Glass 6 protection for the screen, as well as the back. There’s no notch or punch-hole here instead, normal top and bottom bezels which we’ve seen in the past.
Xperia 1 being the flagship among Sony’s MWC launch lineup is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 processor, paired with 6GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage. You can expand the storage up to 512GB using a microSD card.
The Xperia 1 also features a 8MP selfie camera. The rear camera also features the Eye AutoFocus feature seen in Sony Sony Alpha professional cameras, allowing the device to track a subject’s to keep the focus on them – even if they leave and re-enter the frame. CineAlta has also made the Cinema Pro camera app available on Xperia 1 for 21:9 video recording, selecting the color profiles, and more.
