Description of the Sony Xperia 1 Black
At the Mobile World Congress in 2019, Sony presented this powerhouse phone, the Sony Xperia 1. This device is very striking because of the elongated 21:9 display and the stylish design. Under the hood, this device is equipped with the latest 2019 technology.
This device is fitted with a Snapdragon 855 chipset that offers superfast performance, a large battery that can be charged with a cable or wirelessly, and a lot of storage space that can be expanded with a microSD card. The 1 Black runs on Android Pie, which makes it very fast and user-friendly!
CinemaWide screen with 21:9 aspect ratio
With this device, Sony has written history in terms of multimedia. This manufacturer was the first to produce a smartphone with a 21:9 aspect ratio. Your device will be especially broad in landscape mode, which is ideal for watching films!
The display consists of a 6.5-inch panel that uses OLED technology. This technology makes colours splash off the screen and makes black look truly black. The display also has a high 4K resolution, so you'll get crystal-clear images! This is ideal for films, series, and photography!
Triple camera on the back
Sony always equips their devices with good cameras, and this time the device comes with three lenses. These three lenses work together to shoot pin-sharp pictures and videos in every kind of setting! Every one of these 12-megapixel cameras has its own unique feature.
The top camera is the standard sensor that takes normal pictures or films with 960 frames per second in Full-HD resolution. The second camera can take bokeh pictures and use optical zoom. The third camera has an even wider angle that captures even more in a single picture or video.
Sony raises its video-quality with CineAlta
CineAlta is Sony's professional camera brand, and it has now also been worked into this smartphone. With this special app you can make all kinds of video projects. You can now create beautiful videos where you can tweak and adjust every setting, so you'll feel like a real director.
High-end Snapdragon 855 processor
We're used to Sony's flagships always having the fastest mobile hardware. Under the hood of this powerhouse, you'll find the superfast, energy-efficient Snapdragon 855 chipset from Qualcomm that provides both computing power and a longer battery life.
This processor is supported by 6GB of RAM, so it can run the heaviest apps and games or multitask without hitches or glitches! The hardware remains fast, so your smartphone will be just as fast after using it for a year!

With the Xperia 1, you can listen to music via the USB-C port and the right converter. The speakers come fitted with an upgrade that make them sound even better. These speakers support Dolby Atmos technology, so with the right film and headset, you can immerse yourself even more in a variety of sounds.
Sony's Game Enhancer
Gaming is also very important to Sony, and with Remote Play you can use the Xperia 1 to continue gaming on your PlayStation 4 anywhere in the house. The Game-Enhancer software lets you adjust settings for when you want to game. With this software, you can block notifications, livestream directly, or choose how much RAM to dedicate to your game for the best performance!
Large battery with QuickCharge
Are you looking for a smartphone with a long battery life? Then choose this Xperia 1! This device has a large 3330mAh battery that can easily last an entire day on one full charge, and maybe even two. Thanks to the quick-charge feature, you'll charge your device superfast!
That's not all Sony has done. You can use Sony's STAMINA software to give your device an even longer battery life. On top of that, this premium device supports wireless charging with the Qi wireless chargers; simply place your smartphone on a charging station to start charging it!
