Hey, Tech fam! It’s your Top 10 Go Here Channel, back with another banger! Today, we’re diving deep into the top best Sony phone of 2023!
Sony’s been cooking up some serious heat, and we’ve got the lowdown. Wanna grab one? Let’s jump right in!
Top 10 Best Sony Phones 2023
Sony Xperia 5
Let’s kick things off with a beloved budget buy. The original Sony Xperia 5 remains a top pick, especially for budding videographers.
Why? Well, it boasts a 21L9 OLED display, and it’s compact, yet mighty, with a triple camera unit similar to the Xperia 1. This beauty offers 4K HDR and the Cinema Pro app, which is perfect for those wanting a dash of manual, cinematic control.
And did I mention the cool automated pull-focus feature? Though its initial price of $799 was a tad steep, newer models have shifted the spotlight, making the Xperia 5 an affordable catch.
Sony Xperia 1
Coming in at number 9, we have Sony Xperia 1 – The Old is Gold.
The original Xperia 1 might be a step back in time, but sometimes that’s where the value lies. It’s equipped with a staggering 4K notch-free HDR 21:9 screen, perfect for binge-watchers and gamers.
The phone boasts a triple-12MP rear camera, though without the ZEISS optical coating its successor holds. If you’re on the hunt for a classic flagship without emptying your pockets, this is your match.
Sony Xperia Pro
At number 8, we have Sony Xperia Pro – A Content Creator’s Dream.
You’ve heard of the Sony Xperia 1 II, right? Well, the Sony Xperia Pro has kinda borrowed the camera vibes from it. It’s not the top dog in Sony’s camera lineup, but, man, it’s a filmmaker’s BFF.
Here’s the deal: this bad boy is a 5G beast that doubles as an on-camera screen for all you vloggers out there. And it’s whopping 6.5in 21.9 display? Way cooler than what you get on Sony’s mirrorless cams.
But hold onto your seats! The Xperia Pro’s killer feature? Live streaming on the go! Whether you’re vlogging from a mountain or city street, its 5G is all around so you stay connected no matter how you twist and turn it.
And if you’re picky about your cameras, no worries! Just plug in your fav system camera (yeah, even those fancy Sony Alphas) or any cam with a neat HDMI output. Sweet, right?
Sony Xperia 5 II
Hunting for a phone that’s big on features but light on the wallet? The Sony Xperia 5 II is your guy at number 7!
This bad boy has those super cool camera features that its pricier cousin, the Xperia 1 II, boasts, but with a sleeker design and a price tag that’ll have you saying, “What?”
Plus, if you’re a photo buff, you’re gonna love playing around with its top-notch ZEISS tech in the triple rear camera.
Now, hold up! The Xperia 5 II is also pimped out with an upgraded chipset, a Full HD Plus screen (bye, bye 4K from Xperia 1 II), and a zippy 120Hz refresh rate.
Movies? Games? Endless app scrolling? It’s gotchu. Give it a spin, you won’t regret it!
Sony Xperia 5 III
Stepping into our 6 spot, Got your eyes on the Xperia 1 III but your bank’s saying, “Nope”?
It’s like the Xperia 1 III’s younger sibling – still got the swagger but in a more pocket-friendly size (6.1 inches, baby).
The best part? Both phones are rockin’ that Snapdragon 888 5G magic and are packed with a battery that just won’t quit. Plus, the triple-12MP camera? Yup, you can shoot some pretty rad 4K slow-mo videos.
Now, I won’t lie, there are a couple of trade-offs. The Xperia 5 III’s screen is HD, not 4K. Speakers? A bit toned down. And yeah, you’re working with 8GB of RAM, not the massive 12GB.
It’s also a smidge behind in the camera tech game compared to its big bro. But hey, it’s still a gem of a phone! Give it a whirl, and you might just fall in love!
Sony Xperia 1 III
Halfway through our list, we have Sony Xperia 1 III. Who said 2021 vibes were out of style? Xperia 1 III is still a dazzler!
I mean, just look at that drool-worthy 6.5-inch 4K OLED screen. And with the speedy Snapdragon 888 and a whopping 256GB storage, you’ll be breezing through your tasks!
Camera-wise, it’s like a buffet of lenses. It’s got that 12MP main sensor paired with a crisp 24mm wide lens. Don’t even get me started on that 12MP periscope zoom camera – it can toggle between 70mm and 105mm.
Plus, the ultrawide lens? A solid 124° view. And yeah, they even tossed in a depth camera for some extra flair.
Need zoom? This baby’s got you with its sick 2.9-4.4x optical zoom. And for those who like tinkering, the camera UI is all kinds of fun with tons of manual tweaks. Still a champ!
Sony Xperia Pro-I
At number 4, we have Sony Xperia Pro-I.
Sony dropped the Xperia Pro-I in late 2021 and made us all go “Whoa!” It’s the first phone rocking that huge 1-inch sensor.
For those who’ve been cheering for Sony, this was like the universe finally saying, “Okay, fine! Here’s your dream phone!” It’s like Sony’s smartphone and camera squads high-fived and brought us this gem.
Now, I know the original Xperia Pro made wallets cry, being this fancy monitor-phone combo. But the Pro-I? It’s all about giving you top-notch camera goodness without breaking the bank.
It’s packed with three rad cameras – a 16mm ultra-wide, 24mm wide (yep, with the BIG sensor), and a 50mm for those dreamy portraits. All rocking 12MP.
And the perks don’t stop: dazzling 4K display, super-fast Snapdragon 888 processor, and storage? More than you’ll ever need. Like, ever.
Sony Xperia 5 IV
Next up, coming in at the bronze spot, Sony Xperia 5 IV: Pocket-Sized Photo Pro.
Ever wished for a tinier twin of the Sony Xperia 1 IV? Say hello to the Sony Xperia 5 IV! Basically, it’s like the 1 IV went on a diet, keeping all the awesome bits but fitting into your pocket (and budget) a lot easier.
Whether you’re snapping pics, shooting vids, or just about anything creative, this phone’s got your back.
4K HDR at 120fps? Check. Full-on manual camera control? You bet. Three – yes, THREE – camera apps? Oh, it’s in there. And it’s more than just easy on the eyes; your ears will love it too.
With a headphone jack and front-facing speakers, this phone’s a complete treat. For its price? Totally worth every penny, if you ask me.
Sony Xperia 1 IV
The runner-up in our list is Sony Xperia 1 IV: Zoom in and Rock Out!.
And man, it’s still setting the bar high for Sony lovers! We’re talking about the superhero of phones that brought 120fps video capture to ALL of its 12MP rear cameras.
But hold on to your hats, ’cause the real showstopper here? A LEGIT optical zoom.
That periscope camera magic lets you slide smoothly from 85mm right up to 125mm. And don’t even get me started on the design: sleek, swanky, and crafted from a frosted glass and metal combo that’ll make you go.
Even though it’s got a beefy 6.6-inch screen and might make your wallet weep a bit, if you’re after the creme de la creme of camera and multimedia, then this bad boy’s calling your name.
Sony Xperia 1 V
So, here it is folks, the cream of the crop – the Sony Xperia 1 V! Fresh outta the oven, it’s THE phone to beat. A heads up though – depending on where you’re kicking back in the world, getting your hands on one might be a wee bit tricky.
My peeps in the US, you can hit that pre-order button now. UK folks? Mark June 28th on your calendars (or get ahead of the game with a pre-order on the 14th). As for Australia… well, stay tuned.
Should you grab one? Heck yeah! It’s like its older sibling but on steroids, especially with that upgraded camera magic. Shadows? Crisp. Low light? No sweat. Manual mode? Super flexible.
If you’re about capturing those insta-worthy shots, this phone’s got your back.
And for those spec nerds – it’s running on the beastly Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Plus, the sound game? Spot on, thanks to killer speakers and a headphone jack. With its sleek Android vibe, it’s like the smooth operator of phones.
