Back in February, Sony introduced the world to the Xperia 1. This phone with a simple name promises some pretty big things, namely a 4K display with a 21:9 aspect ratio. Today, we’re learning when the phone will be available in the US, and just how much it’ll cost.
The good news is that the Xperia 1 will cost less than $1000. The bad news is that it won’t cost less by much, as Sony has set its price at $949.99.
The handset packs in the first 4K OLED display on a smartphone, which measures 6.5 inches and has a 21:9 ratio. It has three rear cameras which take advantage of eye autofocus tracking, as seen in Sony’s mirrorless A7 cameras. The Xperia 1 also includes Dolby Atmos sound, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
The Xperia 1 will launch in the US on July 12th.
