ISSUE 64 • ANDROID ADVISOR 23REVIEWJ
ust when we thought Sony had settled into a
naming pattern for its flagship phones it changes
track again. The grandly named Xperia 1 goes
for broke on the latest Sony smartphone philosophy:
do what we do best, and unapologetically so.
This means the Xperia 1 is a tall, thin purple 4K
smartphone with pretty great cameras. It’s an odd,
expensive mix of a lot of good things, with some
things missing. It’s not for everyone, but for once,
Sony is comfortable that it isn’t – and the phone is
all the better for it.Sony Xperia 1
