Japanese Tech Legend Sony has just introduced the latest flagship in their
smartphone lineup, the Xperia 1 VI, which promises to be a
game-changer for mobile photographers.
This premium smartphone comes with advanced AI technology, a powerful new
telephoto zoom lens, and stunning display features that will elevate your
photography experience.
Amazing Zoom Capabilities
The Xperia 1 VI is equipped with a telephoto optical zoom lens that offers up
to 7.1x zoom. This means you can capture detailed shots from far away, with a
focal length range of 85mm to 170mm. Whether you’re taking a portrait or a
close-up of a distant subject, this lens ensures high-quality images with
beautiful bokeh effects. The lens also supports telephoto macro photography,
allowing you to capture fine details with up to 2x magnification.
Advanced AI and Imaging Technology
Sony has packed this smartphone with their “Exmor T for mobile” image sensor,
which excels in low-light conditions and offers high-speed autofocus (AF) with
AI-powered human pose estimation. This ensures sharp and clear images even
when your subject is moving. Additionally, the AI image adjustment technology,
“Powered by BRAVIA®,” brings the vibrant and accurate colors of Sony’s BRAVIA
TVs to the Xperia’s display.
User-Friendly Camera App
The updated camera app on the Xperia 1 VI is designed to be intuitive and easy
to use. It includes special shooting modes and customizable color presets,
like ‘Creative Look,’ popular among professional photographers. The touch
tracking feature automatically adjusts brightness and color, making it easier
to get the perfect shot.
Enhanced Display and Audio
The Xperia 1 VI features a high-definition display that replicates the quality
of Sony’s BRAVIA TVs. With “Sunlight Vision,” the screen remains clear and
vivid even in direct sunlight. For audio enthusiasts, the full-stage stereo
speakers deliver superior sound quality, and the phone supports
high-resolution audio through both wired and wireless connections.
Optimized for Gaming and Extended Use
The Xperia 1 VI is built for performance, featuring the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3
Mobile platform for smooth gaming and video playback. The new “FPS Optimizer”
in Game Enhancer adjusts CPU usage and frame rate for the best gaming
experience. The phone also boasts a long battery life, with up to two days of
use and fast charging capabilities.
Eco-Friendly and Stylish Design
Sony has also made efforts to be environmentally conscious. The Xperia 1 VI
comes in eco-friendly packaging made from bamboo, sugar cane, and recycled
paper. The phone itself incorporates recycled materials, including SORPLAS™, a
recycled plastic developed by Sony.
Price and Availability
The Xperia 1 VI will be available in Black, Platinum Silver, and Khaki Green
in selected countries starting late June 2024. This smartphone is perfect for
anyone looking to elevate their mobile photography with cutting-edge
technology and user-friendly features.
Sony Xperia 1 VI price starts at £1,299 or around PHP 95,350 with current conversion and before taxes. No word yet on its availability in the Philippines; Although, since Sony Xperia handsets are currently not being officially launched in our country, this one will most likely hit grey market stores in the country in the weeks following its global release in June 2024. It’s a bit sad and I hope that Sony would someday formally bring Xperia smartphones here, just like when TechPinas was fairly new. Anyway, stay tuned for updates!
