Critic consensus
“The Sony Xperia 1 II is well-suited for professional photographers, who are going to get a lot of value out of the included professional camera applications. For everyone, the Sony smartphone is just priced too high.”
“Even though Sony’s mobile division isn’t doing great, the company has done a fantastic job with its latest flagship and has included some noteworthy improvements over last year’s Xperia 1.”
“Sony's flagship Xperia is the phone of two halves: the front half is pretty good with that great display and wonderful speakers, the rear half is pretty weak with a disjointed and messy camera experience.”
“Sony made unusual (but not necessarily bad) choices with the Xperia 1 II's hardware but if you're after an entertainment powerhouse and can find the phone at a lower price than its RRP, this is a superb way to enjoy media on-the-go to the fullest.”
