Sony strikes again with the launch of the Xperia™ 1 VI, a premium phone that delivers a telephoto and telephoto macro photography experience thanks to an optical zoom lens of up to x7.1.
With a focal length from 85mm to 170mm, users can capture extraordinary detail at long distances, as well as professional portraits filled with bokeh effects.
This lens utilizes optical zoom, facilitating significant magnification and high-definition image capture of distant subjects with uncompromised image quality for tele-macro and portrait photography. Furthermore, telephoto macro photography, which leverages the zoom lens structure for close-up shots, empowers users to take pictures marked by sharp details and clear bokeh, surpassing the visual acuity of the naked eye. This capability extends to capturing intricate details, such as the center of flowers, providing highly expressive results for users.
The rear camera integrates AI technology to recognize human skeletons, enabling precise AF tracking even in challenging shooting scenarios due to potential obstructions that obscure the subject’s visibility. This advanced functionality ensures consistent and accurate tracking, optimizing image capture in a diverse range of environments.
The 24mm 1 wide-angle lens equipped with the “Exmor T for mobile” image sensor captures clear, low-noise images in various shooting environments, from day to night, indoors to outdoors, easily achievable with this camera. Equipped with the ability to take pictures with a two-fold optical magnification of 48mm 1, this camera reproduces the intricate nuances of human skin tones, textures, and landscapes with precision, ensuring clear and realistic depiction in both video recordings and still images.
The Xperia 1 VI camera app has undergone significant updates, featuring a user-friendly interface designed for smooth navigation. These improvements prioritize convenience without sacrificing the array of creative tools available, such as dedicated shooting modes like PSM and customizable color presets like ‘Creative Look,’ commonly used by creators.
In addition, with touch tracking now capable of automatically adjusting brightness and color adjustments, along with the introduction of a new Pro video mode that offers detailed setting control for video recording, users can easily take photos and videos with intuitive control and precision.
Not only that, the Xperia 1 VI features an Exmor T for mobile sensor designed for low-light performance. AI technology on the rear camera enables autofocus tracking with human pose estimation, utilizing the well-known capabilities of the Alpha™ series.
This allows users to capture photos or videos with maximum sharpness and accuracy, despite obstacles that obscure the subject.
With Sony’s signature BRAVIA® display, the visual experience is enhanced thanks to improved brightness and Sunlight Vision support, which ensures clear visibility even in direct sunlight. Another advantage comes from the high-quality audio system now supported by more capable stereo speakers, as well as enhanced headphone connections, both wired and wireless.
For gamers, the FPS Optimizer feature allows optimal CPU usage for maximum frame rates, while Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 support ensures smooth gaming performance. Plus, a long-lasting battery with fast charging ensures that users can enjoy the maximum experience for photography, video, and gaming.
Environmental Initiatives
The product box and main tray of the Xperia 1 VI are made from Sony’s Original Blend Material, which consists of bamboo, sugarcane, and recycled paper, enabling the creation of fully plastic-free individual packaging. In addition to Sony’s ongoing efforts to reduce plastic, the plastic tape used to seal shipping cartons has been replaced with paper to make the packaging more environmentally friendly.
In addition, approximately 85% of the raw materials for some parts used inside and outside the main body are environmentally friendly resins (recycled resin, plant-based resin, etc.), including SORPLAS™, a flame-retardant recycled plastic developed by Sony.
Style Cover with Stand for Xperia 1 VI (XQZ-CBEC) from recycled material
The Xperia 1 VI custom cover is equipped with a bottom grip for easy handling and stable shooting. With the newly included ring strap that can be attached to the cover, the stability is further enhanced. In addition, the stand supports horizontal and vertical orientation for added convenience.
The back of the cover mirrors the functional tactile design found on the back of the Xperia 1 VI, ensuring that even with the cover attached, the original design of the device remains unblemished. There are 2 colors that match the main body. SORPLAS is used as part of the raw material for this cover.

With telephoto optical zoom features, AI support for subject tracking, and an enhanced visual and audio experience, this device offers everything to capture the best moments. Coupled with outstanding gaming performance and a long-lasting battery, the Xperia 1 VI is an ideal choice for anyone who wants uncompromising technology in their hands.
