The highlight of the smartphone is its triple-camera setup on the back which is developed by the engineers who made Sony A7 III and other popular mirrorless cameras. The phone’s camera setup includes three 12-megapixel sensors — wide, ultra-wide, and zoom.

Sony says that the smartphone can shoot up to 20fps in burst mode with features like autofocus and auto-exposure enabled. This makes the phone an ideal candidate for capturing action and sports events.

Further, the camera can do human/animal eye-tracking and also offers features like Pro Mode, Movie Settings, and more. On the front side, the device comes with an 8-megapixel snapper with an f/2.0 aperture

The Sony Xperia 1 II features a 6.5-inch 4K HDR OLED screen that comes with a 21:9 aspect ratio, making it taller than other flagship phones available in the market. Under the hood, it is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC along with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage with support for expandable storage up to 1TB.

The phone runs the Android 10 operating system and is powered by a 4,000mAh battery that comes with support for 21W fast charging and wireless charging. Although the Sony Xperia 1 II is the company’s first 5G smartphones for Europe, the U.S. variant supports LTE bands. But Sony has said that it will soon launch Xperia Pro 5G in the United States with support for high-speed mmWave 5G technology.
