Sony Xperia 1 review

08 June 2019
Sony has completely revamped its Xperia series yet again, and this year the common denominator is the cinematic screen. Every new Xperia smartphone gets a 21:9 panel for the most immersive viewing experience, but the Xperia 1 is special. It is the Xperia Premium reborn, with a large 6.5" OLED 4K HDR display and today we'll get to know it better.

Anonymous, 17 Jun 2019If Xiaomi compare to iPhone, which one get your money? The price difference is enormous. One iPhone costs like three high-end Xiaomi smartphones. So I'd rather buy Google :).

    You don't like Sony phones, ok. Get another. Why do you have to troll multiple times?
    I happen to hate apple for example. I don't go bashing em like a kid on every apple post, I'm not 15 sorry.

    So, what is it that you are gaining from this? Personal satisfaction because you troll online?
    Be the better man and leave us enjoy the phones we like.

          [deleted post]Completely agree with it too. Sony probably is on the way out of smartphone market.

I admit that some reviewers are biased or even might be paid for "proper" review. But I believe this is not the case with The Nitpicker at all. I watched his reviews, compared my personal experience with particular phones and 98% agreed on what he said. I have nothing against Sony company and Sony fans either. I really waited for Xperia 1 seeing it as a game changer at camera department at least. Unfortunately miracle didn't happen. Saying it again, yes it is an overpriced piece of rubbish once again.

              It's not the savior these fanatics are desperately trying to make by grabbing at any improvement made but it's definitely something

                Nice try to twist things.
                However if you want to go that route it's all you Sony fanatics that generally try to search out a similar review that you claim shows what you want. Which is usually only that review, is fake, or doesn't even show what you claim.
                Nice try though

                  geekacontra, 16 Jun 2019key words: "my favorite reviewers". experience demonstrated... moreOh, please stop this pathetic arguing. Sony has released an overpriced piece of garbage and everybody knows that whatever you like it or not. Sony makes great goods no doubts but their smartphones always were rubbish (maybe except pre-historic times of Sony-Ericsson W and K-series). Xperia 1 isn't exception - just another epic failure. Xiaomi makes far better phones by all aspects and for half price of what Sony asks.

                                    Pixel 3 has great HDR And no one can deny it...... but as I see X1 is a very capable phone.
                                    But have you compared it with the X1?
