FEATURES

Unprecedented image quality


The Xperia 1 V's revolutionary Exmor T for mobile image sensor has an innovative 2-Layer Transistor Pixel – one for the photodiode and one for the phototransistor – 2x better than its predecessor in low light[FN|Processing supported on 24mm lens for JPEG images only.] [FN|Compared to Xperia 1 IV’s image sensor installed in the 24mm lens.], with less noise. People, animals, cityscapes, landscapes: your world, beautifully captured.

Immersive entertainment


With its 21:9 Wide 4K HDR OLED 120Hz Refresh rate display[FN|Display refresh rate may vary according to settings, contents and applications used.] and premium audio technologies, the Xperia 1 V lets you lose yourself in movies, TV, music and games.

Glass with functional tactile design


The Xperia 1 V features an innovative texturised finish that changes the way a smartphone feels in your hands. Decorative yet durable, it improves the grip and looks beautiful.

Next-generation sensor captures more light than ever


Developed by Sony, the all-new Exmor T for mobile sensor on the Xperia 1 V, together with AI processing, contributes to image quality that's twice as good as its predecessor in low light[FN|Processing supported on 24mm lens for JPEG images only.] [FN|Compared to Xperia 1 IV’s image sensor installed in the 24mm lens.]. It also enables exceptional colour expression.

How does the new sensor work?


The new Exmor T for mobile image sensor has an innovative 2-Layer Transistor Pixel – one for the photodiode and one for the phototransistor – enabling it to capture more light and significantly reduce image noise. In fact, the noise level is improved by 2x compared with the previous model under low-light situations.[FN|Processing supported on 24mm lens for JPEG images only.]

Innovative sensor meets advanced processing


With its next-generation Exmor T for mobile sensor and computational processing, the Xperia 1 V delivers picture quality equivalent to full-frame cameras with less noise and wider dynamic range in low light[FN|In terms of noise resistance performance and dynamic range for still images in lighting environments of LV (Light Value) 2 or less. Comparison with our digital camera equipped with a full-frame sensor.] - and videos with cinematic colour expression. Its imaging prowess is complemented by a host of other features, from immersive entertainment to functional, tactile design.

Capture amazing shots even in dark scenes


Using the latest computational processing to reduce noise and enhance dynamic range, this feature lets you capture bright images even in dark scenes where details are barely visible to the naked eye.

Cinematic video, no colour grading needed


Based on the S-Cinetone loved by professionals in the Cinema Line and Alpha series, S-Cinetone for mobile allows easy shooting of a cinema-like look and produces impressive images with beautiful skin tones without post-editing. Combined with high frame rate video recording at up to 4K and 120fps on all lenses, it gives you greater scope for creative expression.[FN|Video recording restrictions may apply.]

6 preset looks, just like Alpha


Like some Alpha cameras, the Xperia 1 V features Creative Look, a selection of 6 preset looks to use when shooting photos or video.

All main lenses offer 4K HDR 120fps video recording[FN|Video recording restrictions may apply.], Eye AF, Real-time tracking and ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating, which contributes to the superior optical quality of images by minimising unwanted lens effects such as reflections. An improved 12MP front camera completes the camera set-up.[FN|Video recording restrictions may apply.]

True optical zoom lens with no image degradation


With true 85-125mm optical zoom, the Xperia 1 V offers images free of digital degradation between 85mm-125mm.

Improved front camera


The 12MP front camera sees further improvements over the previous model, with enhanced noise reduction in dark areas of images, and 4K 60fps video recording.[FN|4K 60fps available on Videography Pro.]

Professional technology from Alpha cameras


The Xperia 1 V was co-developed with the engineers behind the latest Alpha 1 series cameras, renowned for their industry-leading autofocus technology, and with input from professional photographers, who helped tune the technology and refine the photographic experience and results. And just as Alpha photographers expect the same performance in any lens, so the Xperia 1 V offers the same AF capabilities across all its lenses.[FN|All rear camera lenses.] [FN|Accuracy of the feature may vary according to environmental circumstances and settings. Some performance restrictions may apply.]

Fastest ever burst shooting up to 30fps
