It's a pro-level camera, with power. If uncompromising image quality delivered by Sony’s Exmor T for Mobile sensor wasn’t enough, you can get even closer to your subject using the extended 85-170mm optical telephoto lens. And such a powerful camera is just the start, with Sony’s expertise in display, audio and mobile gaming to exceed your entertainment expectations, plus up to two days of battery life. The Xperia 1 VI delivers the complete premium smartphone experience.
Support your creativity with a wide range of focal lengths
On top of Sony’s standard 16mm and 24mm, the Xperia 1 VI includes a 48mm focal length, and an extended 85-170 mm optical telephoto lens, with real optical zoom for optimal image quality throughout its range and macro capability, for even more creative freedom.
A smarter display, powered by BRAVIA
For vivid, high-contrast viewing, the Xperia 1 VI uses Sony’s unique AI image adjustment technology, including improved outdoor visibility with Sunlight Vision to boost the brightness when in direct sunlight.
Superior audio
Enjoy the highest sound quality whether listening on wired, wireless, or full-stage stereo speakers.
Extraordinary performance, with up to two days’ battery life
It’s a premium choice for gaming, creating, streaming, and much more. For the first time in the Xperia 1 series, the Xperia 1 VI features a vapour chamber cooler to optimise the overall performance, which is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile platform. Do all you need and want, with up to two days of battery life.
Functional, tactile design
Designed with a tactile glass back that balances aesthetics and ergonomics, the Xperia 1 VI feels as good to use as it looks.
What is SIM free?
You'll receive an unlocked device, so there’s no requirement to commit to any network, leaving you free to decide which SIM card / network to use. This gives you the opportunity to find the most suitable plan, whether that’s contract or pay-as-you-go, throughout the lifetime of the phone.
Top tip: as this mobile phone is supplied SIM free and unlocked, you have access to SIM only deals – these usually offer far better value for money – especially for all-important data plans.
