    Sony Xperia 1 also packs a triple 12MP + 12MP + 12MP rear camera setup that offers 2X optical zoom and very fast Eye Auto Focus. The rear cameras are designed in collaboration with expert engineers from Sony’s digital cinema camera division called CineAlta to offer the best quality cameras that can take high-quality photographs. The cameras are armed with a noise reduction and an Optical SteadyShot technology that can stabilize the sensor to resist shakes while taking a shot at an object on the move.

    The front comes with an 8MP shooter that is also armed with SteadyShot technology for video and photo shot stabilization. The front shooter also features portrait selfie effects, 3D creator and a display flash for high quality selfie shots and video content creation.

    Sony Xperia 1 Performance and Battery

    Sony Xperia 1 runs on Android 9.0(Pie) with the latest Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset, tagging along with a 6GB of RAM for optimal performance. The device also features 128GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 512GB via microSD card. (xanax)

    As far as power is concerned, the Xperia 1 Android smartphone is powered by a 3,330mAh battery. The battery capacity is fair but not good enough, considering the fact that the smartphone is tailored towards entertainment lovers and content creators. More power should have been given to the device to match-up with the performance. Probably, Sony intends releasing an upgrade in the future.
