Beautiful images, even in low light conditions

Low-light location image

A new Telephoto sensor that is much larger than previous models , and about 4x larger than Xperia 1 VII, captures light more effectively to provide richer details and less noise in low-light conditions.

Comparison

For comparison, images captured with each model’s telephoto camera have been aligned to an 85 mm equivalent focal length by enlargement. (No enlargement was applied to Xperia 1 VII, Xperia 1 VI, Xperia 1 V, or Xperia 1 IV.)
