[Marjo]

Hi everyone,

Good news for Sony enthusiasts: the new Sony Xperia 1 is available to purchase right now (and see here for Business) for O2 Customers in black and purple colours! 

Be entertained like never before

The Sony Xperia1 has the world’s first 4K OLED smartphone display, so you can enjoy a cinematic experience on your own phone. With the 21:9 CinemaWide 6.5 inch 4K HDR OLED display, compatible movies will fill the whole screen. And with Dolby Atmos sound, your audio will be loud and clear, to put you in the middle of the action

Take pics like a pro

With the Xperia1’s triple camera, you can take your photography to the next level. Capture every moment exactly as you see it, no matter where you are, day or night. And with Cinema Pro you can record cinematic movies that’ll blow your friends and family away

Be ready for anything

The Xperia1 is more than just a pretty face. With Corning Gorilla Glass 6, the durable design protects your phone from bumps and drops, while its IP65/68 water resistant rating keeps it safe from any freak weather and spill.

Enjoy a seamless experience

A cracked screen can ruin your day. But you don’t have to worry about your Xperia1. It’s made with Corning Gorilla Glass 6, so it’s tough enough to survive your busy schedule. And it won’t cut out while you’re catching up with a friend or beating your high score. It’s got a 3300mAh battery, with talk time of up to 24 hours

Recycle Your Device – save cash!

If y'all ever needed proof, this is it. Viridis gets his first thing, I get mine last thing... I'll be thinking about bed by the time mine arrives!

He's a big cheese at Sony

Well, it's more like a babybell but yeah, that's obviously what's happened 😅🤣😅🤣

Regarding micro SD @Chris_K
400gb, not one of the earlier ones? It's a 400gb from 2017 onwards?
The bitrate of 4khdr in its S-log form might be a bit much for anything under a U3 speed...
Gotta test myself but my old 128gb SD was mega slow in XZ2 Premium and only a U3 was fast enough.

Yeah it's a U1 one, so fully expect that it may struggle with the 4K bitrate... My plan until a large capacity U3 (Ideally need at least 256GB - preferably the bigger 400GB or above cards) comes to an affordable price was record 4K videos internally, then manually transfer to the SD.

This is what I've got

Holy shizz this camera is proper nice!!!
