Sony Xperia 1 II, the brand's newest flagship Android phone, has recently opened its market for the United States-located stores. Obviously, the price seemed to be the main issue in its release. Some reports even described the new Sony Xperia as the "most expensive 4G smartphone." Is it really not worth it at all?
Sony Xperia 1 II may flop in the U.S. market; Here's why
Sony Xperia 1 II was originally announced to be launched on the postponed event of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, last Feb. However, since governments prohibit large gatherings due to Coronavirus, it was then canceled.
Now, the device is nearly five months late, but tech experts are disappointed.
Sure, the Xperia 1 II has a 4K HDR OLED screen that's 6.5 inches and has a 21:9 aspect ratio, which shows its taller screen compared to others. The device is also powered by high-quality Qualcomm's Snapdragon 865 processor, has a 3.5 mm audio jack for headphones, and supports wireless charging with 4,000 mAh battery that could last for quite some time.
Unfortunately, Sony Xperia 1 II will only be supporting 4G in the U.S.-- is the top reason why it is too expensive for Americans to pay the price of nearly $1,200 for this phone.
But for European outlets, the flagship phone will have a 5G variant. That's why it is expensive.
