Is Sony Xperia 1 worth buying?
Searching for flagship phones at prices that don’t induce a shocked emoji? Look no further than Envirofone. Sony’s best smartphone from 2019 is now available in our refurbished range — and it’s cheaper than anywhere else.
The Sony Xperia 1 is marginally older than the Sony Xperia 5 yet has more advanced features. For instance, there is a 6.5-inch OLED display with 1644 x 3840 resolution and 643-pixel density — resulting in bright, punchy colours. It’s so powerful that critics have coined it the ‘ultimate movie smartphone’!
Its 12:9 ratio screen pairs with a dedicated film-making app, allowing you to film 4K footage as if you’re using a Sony Alpha DSLR camera. And if you’re more into watching movies than making them, you’ll find Dynamic Vibration and Creator mode, which replicate the feeling of sitting in a theatre. There’s also a 3,330mAh battery pack to keep you going whether you’re playing games, consuming content, or simply browsing.
As if that wasn’t enough, our Sony Xperia 1 refurbished range has a Snapdragon 855 chipset handling millions of operations every second. That’s some serious power added to your pocket! The Japanese tech giant has wrapped all that technology in Corning Gorilla Glass and a metal frame for slick, stylish protection.
If you’re a fan of Apple and Samsung’s trio of rear-stacked cameras, you’ll be pleased to know that refurbished Sony Xperia 1 handsets also come with similar technology. All three cameras are 12MP, comprising a primary lens, plus wide-angle and telephoto shooters. These come with a bag of social-worthy filters, including a scene optimisation mode that lightens night-time shots.
