The Sony Xperia 1 is properly powered flagship having the latest Snapdragon 855 at the helm. Last, but not least, a quick search function can bring up YouTube videos in a floating video for you, related to the game you are currently playing. There is no direct streaming to any video platforms, though. There are also screenshot and video capture features, the latter of which can also capture footage from your selfie camera along with the game "let's play" style. Then there is Focus mode, which disables pesky notifications and other distractions. One being "max-throttle", while the other is a more battery-minded mode that caps fps to 40 and adjusts some other settings. It gives two performance profiles to choose from. It has two main interfaces - one acting as a game launcher, while the other being an overlay that can be pulled out while in game. Game Enhancer is pretty self-explanatory but still contains a few interesting little features. Others, like aptX HD, benefit listening to music wirelessly via Bluetooth. There are also various options to tweak the sound, including the DSEE HX up-scaler and Dolby Atmos. It also features Google cloud integration. All the while, it looks very appealing with large format album art (and automatic art download) and a flat design. The Music app is simple and well organized, without lacking any important features. There is a dedicated Video app with Dolby Atmos support, too, which depending on the region, may or may not offer extended information about the content inside. Album features both photo and video support, can connect to the cloud and local network services and is pretty good at organizing galleries and doing the occasional light edit on a shot. Sony also notably handles its own multimedia display and playback, with its proprietary Video and Album apps. Even so, the possibility for incompatibility is there. We ran into this with one of the benchmarks we do, but not the more common apps you're likely to use. There's a downside to the unusual aspect too, in that some apps may not be able to display properly in it. Through it, you simply select two apps and the relative location you want to launch them in and then you can trigger a split-screen with the pair instantly.Īn inherent benefit of an extra-long display is the ability to show more items in long lists - that includes boring stuff like the settings menu, and marginally more fun stuff like, say, posts in Instagram.Īnother good use for a 21:9 screen is showing two apps in two larger-than-average halves of the said screen - if only Google hadn't completely ruined the mechanics of going into multi-window with Pie. One particularly powerful and customizable option is the 21:9 pair shortcut feature. So, that's another feature that's going to the Gimmicks bin if you are keeping count. Unfortunately, in our experience, its sensitivity is a mixed bag, and all of us had a hard time triggering the Side Sense menu reliably time after time.

The menu itself is sort of a take on the Android Pie recent apps interface, which is notably missing from its intended location as a row in the app drawer. You can tap or slide these to trigger various actions most of which user-configurable, including the sensitivity of the areas. It boils down to a pair of touch-sensitive areas on either side of the phone. Plus, Sony's implementation in the Xperia 1 is fairly flexible and in-depth. Side sense is not really a new feature, but it is still unique enough to merit a few words. A quick double tap on the Home button does just that and even makes the notification shade almost conveniently reachable with one hand - good luck with that on the full-screen UI.
It's not a new thing, it's just that being able to shrink the UI and bring it closer gets a new meaning on a phone of the 10 Plus's proportions. There are unique Xperia bits on top, however - ones that are meant to help out with the tall aspect of the display and the extreme overall height, particularly on this larger 6.5-inch model. The most secure one is the fingerprint, of course, but in case you want it easier, you can use some of the Smart Lock suggestions. You can find the setting in the display menu, and enabling it makes the Xperia 1 navigation resemble that of a Pixel phone.įingerprint unlock, as well as Google's Smart Lock options, including Trusted Face (Face Unlock), are available. What we mean is that now you can have the pill navigation (which Sony calls 'Swipe up on Home button') in addition to the classic nav bar. The Xperia 1 boots Android Pie, and it's a slightly more Google-ish variation than the one we saw on the Xperia XZ3 last year.
