The Sony Xperia 1 literally stands out from the crowd — literally — with a super tall screen. Sony is relaunching its Xperia line of phones at MWC 2019, with a focus on making its phone with tall, 21:9 aspect ratio displays.

Samsung and huawei : lets add innovative features like reverse charging and amazing display. Nokia: lets add 5 rear cameras Song: lets make it longer Apple:lets make it pricier
Misleading, especially the thumb nail, the iPhone x is almost a compact phone and the Xperia 10 plus is probably the biggest phablte. Plus too many Samsung, Apple, Huawei…. Fans in the comments.
I like the overall design direction, I'm rather tired of curved design where everything seems to get spherical. The tall screen is interesting, seems to be designed with split screen in mind which I like.
I don't know anyone who's had a Sony phone. Not now, not ever. And I don't see them out in public either. Who is buying these things and why does Sony keep making them? I'm genuinely curious.
Samsung had AMOLED (OLED) HDR 4k display on 2018 models S9 and Note 9. What is unique about Sony display except the aspect ratio. It's a bad aspect ratio, most of the videos you'll have to sacrifice more content if you crop and more black bars if you don't crop. Even with one handed mode it looks really to reach the status bar. Sony is learning from HTC's book – how to kill your smartphone lineup
Yes, me. I'm looking for a tall phone. Samsung's S10 is 6.4 inches, you don't find that tall. But you find Sony's 6.5 inches extremely tall? What a shameful bias
First thought: “WTF Sony!?” Second thought: “Hmm… instead of shrinking the bezels just make the screen larger for more content? Interesting.” Still it looks awkward.
Sony doesn't care about the bezel less phones and notches nonsense because we as customers didn't complain about the bezel to force the mobile companies to invent stupid ideas to get rid of it
No one's talking about the useless 4k resolution? Is it just to say that it can show pixels that no one can see and then everyone will reduce the resolution because it drains the battery faster and makes the phone less fast?
Now days phone feels like tv remote, in the future maybe tv remote will be like a phone, and we listen music using casete
About time there's a Android phone without a chin???
Ahmex
Watching movies should be fun on this one
They are going after a niche set of consumers !
Why why WHYY!! I'm imagining the person that this phone is for. They are probably dunking right now.
That phone is awesome…! The only bad thing is it hasn't a Sterio Speaker… ?

Its all down hill from sony. Unfortunately
Sony is good in TV and PlayStation
Consoles
They get a lot of profit from it

Are Sony phones popular in Asia ? Sincere question, people get offended to much on the internet
That awkward moment when you realize Sony still makes smart phones.
If Sony prices this anywhere above $700, these kiss sales goodbye…
Not gonna using that with one hand
4K on a phone?! ?
The prophecy of the iphone 5 is true!!
Sony doesn't care about the bezel less phones and notches nonsense because we as customers didn't complain about the bezel to force the mobile companies to invent stupid ideas to get rid of it
I wish sony still made laptops
Sony just unveil the best phone in the world!!!
Does it run iOS?
Take a drink every time this guys says tall
Do people really honestly watch that much actual content on their phones? Really?
OnE WorD ReactioN :::: YUCK !!!

I love Xperia it's such a beautiful sounding name and visually such attractive phone designs.
And still can't fit an headphone jack
love you חיים
That is absolutely hilarious I had a conversation with a friend talking about they should make a tall or long and wide phone???
There were tons of memes when the iPhone 5 launched because it was taller…ok…WHERE ARE THE XPERIA 1’s MEMES!!!???
