Sony Xperia 1 Launch: What to expect
Up until last week, we had been expecting Sony’s new flagship smartphone to be called the Xperia XZ4. It turns out many of the rumours were wide of the mark. The handset is actually called the Xperia 1, and it could be the Japanese firm’s most exciting phone release in years.
The Xperia 1 will feature a 6.5-inch, 4K HDR OLED display with a 21:9 ‘Cinema-Wide’ aspect ratio, a metal and glass sandwich design with Gorilla Glass 6 at both the front and back, IP68 water- and dust-resistance, a trio of rear cameras, and the ability to capture 4K HDR videos in 21:9 format.

The Xperia 1 will reportedly launch alongside the Xperia 10, Xperia 10 Plus and Xperia L3.
