Sony Xperia 1

Sony has organized a presentation event this morning at MWC 2019. In it, the popular manufacturer has left us with several smartphones. The first of them is this Sony Xperia 1, its new model for the high-end. A phone that comes with a new name, since the brand has decided to rename its ranges of smartphones for this year. It is a new attempt to relaunch the sales of its devices.

This Sony Xperia 1 stands out especially for its screen, with a 21: 9 ratio. The brand has reduced the edges to the maximum, in addition to having lengthened the screen. It is presented as the ideal smartphone to consume multimedia content. What else can we expect from this high-end?

As we are seeing in other models presented at MWC 2019, it comes with the most powerful processor on the market. In addition, we find a triple rear camera on the device, among other features. Everything you need in the current high-end on Android. Will it help bring Sony back to the top of the market?

The screen has been an essential aspect in this new generation of Sony smartphones.

Sony is still one of the few brands that still not using the notch or the hole in the screens from their phones. While most Android brands, including Samsung, already launch a model, the Japanese maintain their design lines on their smartphones, although they have significantly altered the ratio of this device.

Audio is another important aspect of the phone. The Sony Xperia 1 comes with stereo speakers, in addition to having support for the Dolby Atmos standard. Thanks to this, it will be possible to enjoy immersive sound when consuming content on the device. Again, they seek to emphasize that it is a great smartphone when it comes to watching videos, series or listening to music on it.

Sony Xperia 1: The brand's new top of the range

Inside the phone, the most powerful processor available for Android currently awaits us, Snapdragon 855. Unlike other phones that have been presented at MWC 2019 using this processor, the phone of the Japanese brand does not arrive with support for 5G. Nothing was mentioned about the arrival of 5G to the brand's devices at the event. Although it is known that the company works on it.

The cameras are another of the strengths in this Sony Xperia 1. Three rear lenses, a combination of angle, wide angle and telephoto, all of them 12 MP are what we find. Artificial intelligence is present, to help improve scene detection, in addition to adding a few more photography modes to the cameras. For the front camera of the phone they have opted for a single 8 MP sensor, in which improvements have also been made.

The location of the fingerprint sensor promises to be a topic of discussion among users. It has not entered the screen, as other brands have done. We also did not find it on the back of the device. Sony has introduced this fingerprint sensor on one side of the phone. A decision that does not convince everyone. Although we will have to judge based on the operation of the fingerprint sensor on a day-to-day basis.

For the battery, one with a 3.330 mAh capacity has been used. It is not the largest battery, but in combination with the processor it has, which stands out for its energy efficiency, in addition to having an OLED panel, which usually consumes less, it should be enough to be able to use the high-end on a day-to-day basis. .

Price and Availability

In the presentation of this Sony Xperia 1 nothing has been mentioned about its market launch. The high-end will be available in a single version in terms of RAM and storage. The selection of colors will be somewhat wider, being able to choose between black, gray, white and purple.

We hope to have information on the market launch of the brand's high-end soon. It shouldn't take long until more is known about its launch and its selling price.
