Sony Xperia 1 Review

Score: 82.6 / 100

Sony Xperia 1 is a very complete cellphone launched back in 2019, having a high performance 2840 megahertz Octa-Core processor, a large 6.5 inches display, and 2 cameras, a 12 megapixels back facing camera and an 8 megapixels front camera. Let's take a closer sight of what this cellphone can do.

This cellphone is equipped with an extremely fast 2.84 GHz Octa-Core processing unit, packed into the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SM8150 chip and a great 6 GB RAM memory. This cellphone counts with a 128 GB amazing internal storage memory and an external memory slot, which allows the user to store hundreds of apps and even the heaviest games currently available without having to worry about running out of space.

Sony made a great design job making the Sony Xperia 1 as lightweight as 6.28 ounces. About its body materials, this phone is manufactured with Glass (Corning Gorilla Glass 6) and Aluminum . This cellphone is for sale in a nice range of colors like black, gray, purple and white. This cellphone is a very compact device, given that it features a 6.5 inches display and it has just 6.57 inches long. This phone is slim, being just 0.32 inches thick.

This cellphone includes a beautiful 6.5" display with a 1644 x 3840 resolution, which makes it impossible to even see the pixels taking part of the display.

This cellphone features two cameras, a 12 mega-pixels back-facing camera and an 8 mega-pixels front facing camera. Its back-facing camera has an aperture of F1.6 so it can shoot beautiful photos even in dark conditions. It can also film 4K 3840x2160 videos at 24 frames per second, and slow-motion videos in (Full HD) (1920x1080) at 960 frames per second. In addition, the camera counts with time lapse video.

The Sony Xperia 1 features WiFi capability (which it can provide to other devices around, acting as a router), LTE-A (4G) ultra fast connectivity and also HSPA+ connectivity (a slower 4G type) and the fastest 3G connection type, using HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This phone uses 2 Nano SIM cards to be able to to use two different phone numbers or carriers at the same time.

This cellphone counts with a high capacity 3330 mAh Li - Polymer non-replaceable battery that provides this phone an amazing battery life. An issue to consider is that this cellphone's battery isn't replaceable so you can't change it when it begins to have trouble holding its charge, even though with such a huge battery size you will probably replace this phone before it becomes a real problem.

This phone also includes a wide range of cool features as Fingerprint Sensor, NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth and GPS (Global Positioning System), and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

This cellphone is being sold for $ 948, a really high price for comparing with other similar phones. No matter whether you are looking for a cellphone to play games, want a phone mostly for internet broswing and social networks, want a device for work or love photography, you will definitely be very happy with it.
