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.

    That's why their fans have to swarm every article related to them to guard them even worse than an apple page? And attack anyone who has anything to say that's not praising them as perfection?

    And if they are so much better why are they just barely playing catch-up now?
    They do have the potential to be better actually. Sadly and ufortunately they have not been utilizing this potential despite the fact they have all the ingredients to match or surpass the competition.
    They are held down by people in charge who clearly have no idea what they are doing.
    Sony should be making phones that dominate most others. Instead we have a device that just finally makes it to the crowd. That 4K display is just not enough.

        Denis Thomas, 18 Jun 2019Really? Then by all means name one other phone with a 4k di... moreOh wow. It has 4k so it's automatically better than everything in every possible way.... What logic....
        And 2K or 2K+????
        2K is basically 1080p. 2.5K is QHD. Samsung's screens now are QHD+ aka 3K. And it's Sony's displays that have been scientifically measured to be more saturated in it's accurate mode while Samsungs are scientifically measured to be among the most accurate in their accurate mode.
        Try again??

          Also to the fact they clearly implied it's not only Sony they dislike for these actions.
          And no serious issues? Oh yeah. Sony's years of motherboard failures, easily cracked screen, and completely losing touch was nothing bad. And if course their weak audio and underperforming cameras were nothing to go under false promises.

          You clearly are not familiar with Sony phones.

              Anonymous, 17 Jun 2019Don't even get it. So many trolls in Sony threadSony is better that's why, always was. They are the bringers of technology since 1900. The only company that has a phone with a 4k screen. And these are facts not opinions.
              Whether these kiddos like it or not, Sony was, is and will be a technology giant.

                Just.. do you even think before you type something?

As a customer who wants the best, I go for the best. And I see no other phone out there with a 4k display that doesn't have a Sony branding.
                  But by all means name a single phone that has a 4k display other than Sony.
                  And don't start with the holes and notches and low resolution of 2k+ oversaturated screens from the others. This are so old news..
                  So please, go ahead.

                    Sure, I'll bite.
                    I don't remember any Sony smartphone exploding, or having any other serious issue as a certain model, like the other companies.
                    I happen to have Sony phones since my childhood, and I never felt the need to go better. For me there's nothing better.
                    If there's something better for you, don't buy a Sony phone ok?

                    Hows that for a solution to your problem hun?

And I don't troll anyone, not interested in it at all. I just say what I think. What I dislike is broken promises, failed expectations, absence of innovations and severely overpriced products for no good reason as a result. This is what Sony Mobiles does from year to year. LG and HTC aren't far ahead either. But if Xperia 1 price tag was ~$490 which is what it really worth, I wouldn't say a word against it.

                                        Hi,
                                        I have the phone for a couple of data now. Works great. The screen is awesome. The battery is plenty for me as i am not a power user and also i am not prezent in any social media. I get 2 days out the battery, but i suspect the display is running at 4k resolution all the time and it drains the battery faster. I wish we could select the resolution of the dispay. Regarding pictures and video quality i am not a expert so i could not say how good they are
