XPERIA 1V

Sony Xperia 1 V keeps its design almost completely unchanged from the previous generation but improves both internally and externally. Both the back and the display are protected by glass Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The back, in particular, has an exclusive finish which, combined with the slightly knurled profile, allows for a firmer grip and greater handling. Do not miss the protection from water and dust with IP65 and IP68 certification.

 

On the hardware side, the Xperia 1 V integrates a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor supported by 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage space which, unlike most current flagships, can be expanded via a microSD slot. A heat dissipation system allows you to always keep the temperature under control thanks to a heat dissipating layer increased by about 60%. By improving power consumption and heat dispersion, Xperia 1 V allows you to take photos or videos for longer, without overheating problems.

 

This smartphone integrates a 6.5” 4K OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and a low-noise speaker that enhances the spread and depth of audio and offers high- and low-frequency extension. Xperia 1 V is also equipped with a 3.5mm audio jackcertainly appreciated by those who still prefer to use wired headphones.

 

As for the photographic sector, Xperia 1 V uses a new image sensor capable of faithfully reproducing the colors and textures of people, landscapes and scenes in all ambient lighting conditions. L’24mm rear lens has a 52MP image sensor stacked CMOS type with 2-Layer Transistor Pixel structure.

The ultra wide angle camera has a 12MP Exmor RS sensor and a 16mm lens with f/2.2 aperture). The 85mm-125mm zoom camera also has an Exmor RS sensor, in this case from 12MP. Compared to the previous generation, there is no longer the TOF sensor. According to Sony, in fact, its AI algorithms would be so advanced as to make it redundant. Finally, on the front, we find a 12 MP camera with a 1/2.9″ sensor.

Xperia 1 V offers numerous software features including the Creative Looks, also present in the Alpha cameras, real-time AF (autofocus) and various color presets. The Real-time Eye AFiv and Real-time trackingiv functions, on the other hand, allow you to fix the focus on the eyes of a person or a given subject. Thanks to the AI ​​for depth analyzing distance information, even distant objects can be clearly focused.

Thanks to the Product Showcase function, a special function of the Sony vlog camera series, it is possible to shift the focus from the speaker’s face to the product being shown during shooting. On the audio side, the new voice-priority microphone placed near the rear camera clearly captures the voice of the shooter, even in the noisiest outdoor environments. Finally, in live streaming on YouTube, by activating the Videography Pro recording function, it is possible to simultaneously view user comments in the chat section.

The 5000 mAh battery supports up to 20 hours of continuous video playback and 30 minutes of recharging (also wireless) is enough to restore 50% of autonomy. Also, thanks to the exclusive charging optimization technology, the battery maintains 80% or more of its maximum capacity, even after 3 years.

For this smartphone, Sony has made the “Style Cover with Stand”, a cover that guarantees a firmer grip and designed to use the device both horizontally and vertically, a much more practical position for live broadcasts and video chats. The back of the cover takes up the textured motif present on the Xperia 1 V structure and is made in three color variants coordinated with those of Xperia 1 V.
