What the reviewers said

Trusted Reviews UK

4/5Nov 7, 2023

A petite, powerful phone with a headphone jack, microSD slot and strong battery life, but weak on value and zoom.

  • Pocketable size for a high-end phone
  • Long battery life
  • Headphone jack and microSD expansion
  • Same 48MP main sensor as Xperia 1 V
  • Good daytime and general photo performance
  • No hardware zoom camera
  • Weak value against rivals
  • Low-light photos trail the best
  • Slow charging for the price
  • Back glass scratches easily

Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
