Today, the biggest brand names in the smartphones market might be players like OnePlus, Xiaomi, Huawei, Samsung, Oppo etc but there was a time when it was dominated by the likes of Motorola, Nokia, and Sony. In fact, Sony had made headway into the premium segment, launching stylish phones with innovative features, and marketing them under the Xperia name. The Sony Xperia range of phones was quite popular among buyers back then, thanks to the excellent cameras, music features, and of course, thanks to the Sony brand image back then because it was a highly trusted electronics brand. While Sony may have slipped a few places in the mobile phone race, it definitely has not quit. And to prove that, we have its most recent announcement — the Sony Xperia 1 II. This device is a top notch device that qualifies as a flagship phone and hence competes with the best options in the Android ecosystem. The Xperia 1 II comes with a 6.5-inch, OLED display offering a resolution of 1644 x 3840 pixels. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass 6 and has an aspect ratio of 21:9. The phone runs Android 10 with an immensely powerful Snapdragon 865 chipset sitting at the core. You get 8GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard disk space. The phone’s rear camera array is made of a trio of 12MP cameras handling different duties. You also have an 8MP snapper on the front for selfies and video calling. You get 21W fast charging support with the 4000mAh battery inside the Xperia 1 II. Some of the popular Sony mobiles phones include the Sony Xperia 10 II, Sony Xperia L4, and Sony Xperia 5.
