From the manufacturer
Experience uncompromising image quality with our Exmor T for mobile sensor and get even closer to your subject using the new extended 85-170mm (3.5x to 7.1x) optical telephoto (and tele-macro capable) lens. And this powerful camera is just the start.
Innovative sensor for stunning low-light
Developed by Sony, the Exmor T for mobile sensor on the Xperia 1 VI, together with AI processing, delivers picture quality equivalent to full-frame cameras, with less noise and wider dynamic range in low light*, and videos full of cinematic colour expression.
Create content with a choice of lenses
The camera includes a wide-angle 24mm lens, new 48mm focal length, ultra-wide 16mm lens, and a new extended 85-170mm optical telephoto lens. All offer 4K HDR 120fps video recording*, Real-time Eye AF and tracking**, and ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating. A 12MP front camera completes the set-up.
New true 85-170mm (3.5x to 7.1x) optical zoom lens
The 85mm focal length is ideal for professional portraits, capturing faces without distortion while the new zoom lens can zoom up to 170mm for sports and animal shooting. The tele-macro capability brings a beautiful bokeh effect to photos and videos – a solution that’s unique to the Xperia 1 VI.
Pro photography, AI-assisted
For the first time in the Xperia 1 series, human pose estimation technology from our Alpha cameras is featured. Using a skeleton-based model, it recognises not just eyes, but body and head positions too, so it can track a subject facing away from the camera or with their face partially obscured.
Premium pictures and sound
Built on Sony’s TV expertise, AI enhances everything you watch. The new display is 1.5 times brighter for lifelike scenes, and our latest audio technologies deliver exhilarating, immersive sound.
Reproduce the beauty of BRAVIA
Powered by BRAVIA, the display uses AI remastering technology to improve contrast, colour, and clarity. From your own content to streaming services, enjoy a vivid, high-contrast viewing experience.
Improved outdoor visibility
Sunlight Vision handles screen visibility in glare, brightening images, and performing AI image processing to prevent overexposed highlights by analysing the frames and your environment in real-time.
Immersive audio experience
Featuring a new Premium Audio Circuit and 3.5mm audio jack, a new higher-performance speaker, and innovative audio technologies, give your music the quality it deserves – wired, wireless, or out loud.
Best battery performance in Xperia 1 series
The large, efficient 5,000 mAh battery is designed for two days* of typical use. Battery Care and Xperia Adaptive Charging ensure it isn’t overworked, giving you four years of healthy battery life**.
Performance to unleash your creativity
Do more with the ultra-intelligent Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform. The first in the series with a vapor chamber cooler and graphite sheet, our thermal management improves all-round usage too.
Tactile and sophisticated design
The smartphone features a texturised finish to improve your grip with a genuine camera look and feel reminiscent of Sony’s full-frame Alpha cameras. Choose Black, Platinum Silver, or Khaki Green*.
More sustainable, more accessible
More than 85% of the plastic parts are made from recycled materials*, including our own SORPLAS recycled plastic that offers sustainability and high performance. No plastic is used in the packaging**.
