Customers in Western countries have Apple's iPhone, Samsung's Galaxy and Google's Pixel phones. There are also OnePlus and Motorola phones, but in limited quantities and only available on some carriers.

After years of making strange and restrictive decisions, Sony has finally changed direction.

The new Sony Xperia 1 VI has all the essentials of a true Sony flagship. The product has an interesting design, neat software, incredible battery life, perfect size and "top notch" photography capabilities!

A series of mistakes

Sony's decline in the smartphone market is mainly due to wrong decisions and strong denials from the company. Simply put, the company made a mistake but remained stubborn about it.

Many Sony phones have screens that are too long.

The first and biggest problem is the choice of a 21:9 aspect ratio for five years, which results in a long and narrow design that resembles a TV remote. This ratio causes the image content to shrink in the middle of the frame and leaves a large black space when used.

Next, Sony made the camera app as complicated as the camera with the most confusing menu system. After that, the company also created up to 3 different camera applications! This causes many difficulties during normal use, and even confuses professional photographers.

Other errors involve "stuffing" specifications. Sony phones all have 4K screens (while 2K screens are sharp enough).

Sony changes

This year, the screen ratio on the Sony Xperia 1 VI has been changed, moving to the popular ratio of 19.5:9, like other phones.

Next, Sony's latest high-end smartphone model only has one camera application. This app takes care of it all, streamlined and simpler, more accessible modes. Obviously, this is a big "leap" in the right direction for the company.

Sony Xperia 1 VI has well overcome the disadvantages of its predecessor.

Finally, the Sony Xperia 1 VI also has a 6.5-inch screen with 1080p resolution. And practical experience also shows that they are completely fine.

Industry-leading battery life!

Despite previous wrong decisions, Sony has made a strong impression on users by providing its latest high-end phone model with industry-leading battery life!

The company claims that the Sony Xperia 1 VI can last up to two days on a single charge! Currently, even larger sized phones (including the Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max) cannot claim to achieve this duration!

The above statement has brought excitement to experts. According to industry reviewers, Sony made the right decision.

Predictions about the future

The Sony Xperia 1 VI has just been announced and will be available in stores for a few weeks. Like previous Sony phones, they will cost more than the Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

This high-end smartphone has a quite high price.

Although this price has been quite "crazy" in the past few years, it is still somewhat effective.

The company has not yet announced the US price of the Sony Xperia 1 VI, but if it comes with a reasonable price, the product will be the biggest and most surprising comeback in the smartphone market this year.
