21:9 aspect ratio actually has uses now, Impressive chipset and performance, Film-making app is a big draw
The display's max brightness is too dim, Battery life could be a lot better, Fingerprint sensor seems unreliable
The Sony Xperia 1 has a few minor issues, and a similar number of small perks – for every flawed fingerprint sensor there's a Cinema Pro app, and the low max brightness is countered by the various display and sound features that make viewing content a tre...
Beautiful design, Long screen is sensational to use, Compelling stills/video camera
Battery is good, not great, No wireless charging, Occasional lag in camera UI
The Xperia 1 is a supermodel smartphone. After a week reviewing it, more squat phones just feel a bit weird. Its premium design and lithe frame shine, the screen is seriously good, there's a clean interface, a great stills camera and it's class-leading w...
Superb triple camera, 4K 21:9 screen looks lovely, Performance is rock solid
Disappointing battery life, Issues with video stabilisation
Despite a few problems, I still think the Xperia 1 does a fine job of bolstering Sony's recent smartphone successes. After a troubling couple of years, there's enough innovative tech on offer here for the Xperia 1 to stand out from the (ever-increasing) f...
Abstract: Just when we thought Sony had settled into a naming pattern for its flagship smartphones it changes track again. Before MWC we got a sneak peek at the Xperia 1, the company's latest stab at smartphone relevancy. It's a shame that Sony doesn't get a prope...
Great display for watching movies,Interesting design,Good quality of build
Camera app isn't great and performance could be better,Battery life is a little short
The Sony Xperia 1 is a little different and we love that about it. In a market where many flagship smartphones take on similar forms, it's good to see some variation. That 21:9 aspect ratio has some serious potential for those that love to watch films on...

There's a lot to like about the Xperia 1 and not just the name. Aesthically it's clean, simple and means business, plus slap old Crouchie out on the pub table and its dimensions set it apart from the crowd. The obvious star of the show is that 4K HDR OLE...
Color us surprised! While gaming phones outdoing mainstream flagships was hardly shocking given how tightly the latter are packed, we never expected the differences to be this big. While benchmarks would let you believe that all current flagship phones pe...
Wrap upWe knew going into this that the Xperia 1 and the Galaxy S10+ were evenly matched on paper. Surprise-suprise, they ran a very close race in practice and a dozen pages of comparisons later there's no true loser. Which has the rather wholesome conseq...
Class-leading 4K HDR OLED cinematic display, Flagship-grade Snapdragon 855 chipset, Classy design with IP68-certification, Excellent stereo speakers setup, Top notch camera experience, photo and video, Night-time shots are Sony's best yet, Eye tracking au
No audio jack, No 4K@60fps video recording, We wish the ultra wide cam had autofocus, Audio output quality is not on the level of competition, Poor fingerprint reader peformance and no Face Unlock option, Battery life is not very good, No Wireless chargin
The Xperia 1 has one-of-a-kind 4K display, HDR OLED at that. The triple camera, the stereo speakers, latest Snapdragon chip, stylish design, and the IP68 ingress protection all add to an overall great package.The camera experience is a little bit rough ar...
