Sony’s new smartphone could entice shutterbugs away from Apple and Google

Sony just announced a new smartphone, the Xperia 1 VI. The company used to be a major smartphone manufacturer until falling off.

The sixth-generation of the company’s flagship smartphone is filled with so many camera-centric features that it could actually lure people away from rival iPhone and Pixel devices. As for that AI-assisted autofocus, Sony touts a technology called “human pose estimation” that can recognize a person’s body and head position to provide the perfect focus. This display does now offer a variable refresh rate between 1Hz to 120Hz, however, and it can achieve a 50 percent higher peak brightness when compared to last year’s model.
