Sony Xperia 1 review: the best phone in the world for watching movies
Sony plays to its strengths and the results are impressive
With the Xperia 1 Sony plays to its strengths and, despite some small issues, the results are impressive. The 4K, HDR, 21:9 aspect ratio OLED screen is a thing of true beauty and makes watching movies on the go a best-in-the-world experience, for example. While with the flagship Qualcomm Snapdraon 855 processor installed in the heart of its hardware suite, performance is rapid and power high. Below flagship-level battery life and fingerprint sensor performance, as well as some small camera system and charging niggles, take some sheen off the finished package, though.
