Description of the Sony Xperia 1
Sony Mobile presented the Xperia 1 on February 22, 2019, and it has already made history. This device is the very first in the world to feature a 6.5-inch 4K OLED display with a 21:9 ratio. That means you'll able to multitask and watch movies without any black bars!
The device is powered by the Snapdragon 855 chipset from Qualcomm, the absolute top model. On the back, three 12-megapixel cameras are fitted. The device can be charged via a wire or wirelessly, and offers all kinds of interesting software features for optimal use.
6.5-inch CinemaWide screen with 4K resolution
Available in black, grey, purple, and white, the Xperia 1 features a 6.5-inch screen with an elongated ratio of 21:9, the familiar format in which feature films are shown. The phone is equipped with an OLED panel, which ensures good colours and deep contrast.
The screen also has a 4K resolution, which means that pictures, videos, and websites look very detailed. Thanks to its elongated proportions, this screen is perfect for multitasking. In all, you will have a lot of fun with this stunning display, no matter what content you are looking at!
Three unique cameras on the back
Sony has chosen to equip the Xperia 1 with three cameras on the back, each with its own unique feature. The first 12-megapixel sensor can be used to take standard pictures. The second camera can be used to take stunning portrait pictures with bokeh effect or to take pictures with 2x optical zoom.
The third camera, another 12-megapixel version, has a wide angle and is therefore perfect for making films in a 21:9 ratio. This allows you to make videos in the exact proportions of the screen, so everything you film can be seen one-on-one on your screen.
Edit your videos like a pro
Of course, the videos you'll make with this Xperia 1 are stunning, but you can also make a whole movie! The device features the CineAlta application, known from Sony's professional cameras. Imagine yourself a real director and make the most beautiful after-movies.
Fingerprint scanner on the side
A fingerprint scanner can be found on the side of the device in an easily accessible place. This way, you can unlock the device at lightning speed and only you can access all your personal documents, pictures, and files.
Powerful Snapdragon 855 processor
The Snapdragon 855 is the beating heart of this device, and has more than enough power. This processor comes from manufacturer Qualcomm and is the most powerful one of 2019. The phone also comes with 6GB of RAM, so multitasking is no problem.
Hi-res audio and Dolby Atmos
You can listen to music via the USB-C port or Bluetooth, and the speakers sound even better than the previous generation's. You'll find Dolby Atmos support in this device, so if you use the right headphones and start a movie using Dolby Atmos, you'll be blown away.
Sony Game Enhancer
Gaming is becoming increasingly important and is one of Sony's cornerstones. With Game Enhancer, you'll get the best performance out of your device. You can block notifications during a mobile game, optimize RAM, or stream your gaming session to all your friends.
Large battery and fast charging
Xperia 1 comes with a 3330mAh battery with fast charging support and software to optimise your use. It is also possible to charge the device wirelessly. This way, you make sure that you'll always have enough power to get through the day.
Android 9 Pie and Sony
Out of the box, this device runs on Android 9.0 Pie with Sony's own twist. You can start using the Xperia 1 right away, and download your apps, games, and widgets easily and quickly in the Play Store. Sony's own tweaks can be found in the camera app, so you can take even better pictures!
