[SONY XPERIA 1ii REVIEW]

Sony. It’s the company that builds the sensors for almost half the world’s smartphones, and it makes nearly half of all mirrorless cameras sold – including the camera I use to shoot every MrMobile video. It’s also the company that for years has failed to capitalize on these strengths in its mobile division. In preparing for this video I went back and watched seven years of my own Sony smartphone reviews, from my days at Pocketnow to last year’s Xperia 1 video. They all say pretty much the same thing: Sony’s phones are very good, even great at points, but they’re too expensive, and not always for the right reasons.

Flash forward to 2020, and the price tag on the Xperia 1ii (pronounced "Xperia 1 Mark II") reads like a cruel joke. At a penny shy of $1200 unlocked, this sequel is a full 26% pricier than its predecessor, and a cursory glance at its familiar form factor (now drained of all its fun color, at least in the US) fails to reveal why. The answer lies mainly beneath its three camera lenses, which encapsulate a camera system that’s focused almost exclusively on a very specific type of professional photographer: the type with the need for speed.
