Sony Xperia 1 is listed for pre-orders by Clove Technology.
Sony Xperia 1 was unveiled at MWC 2019 and it comes with an ultra-tall, 21:9 CinemaWide display with HDR support. Sony has also packed a triple rear camera setup on the Xperia 1 that is powered by an Eye AF technology and supports up to 10 fps burst shooting. At the time of official announcement, Sony failed to share the exact availability or pricing details, but now the phone has been listed by UK retailer Clove for pre-order, revealing the Xperia 1 price-tag.
As per the product listing on Clove Technology, Sony Xperia 1 will retail at GBP 707.50 (roughly Rs. 64,800) without VAT and GBP 849 (roughly Rs. 77,800) with VAT in UK. The phone is already available for pre-orders, with shipments due end of May. Since this pricing is coming from a third-party retailer, take it with a grain of salt. This listing was first spotted by XperiaBlog.
It was earlier speculated that the Xperia 1 price will start at EUR 799 (roughly Rs. 74,200), and it will go on sale in the US from late Spring in Black and Purple colour options. The new phone will get Black, Grey, Purple, and White colour variants for the international markets though.
The dual-SIM (Nano) Sony Xperia 1 runs Android 9.0 Pie and features a 6.5-inch 4K HDR (1644x3840 pixels) OLED CinemaWide display along with a 21:9 aspect ratio and Corning Gorilla Glass 6 protection. The display panel supports 10-bit tonal gradation and has a wide colour space ITU-R BT.2020 and DCI-P3 with Illuminant D65.
