Sony Xperia 1 VI Review | Upgraded Zoom and Two-Day Battery

The Xperia 1 VI (also known as the 1 Mark 6) is the latest flagship smartphone from Sony, and this thing is expensive, costing £1,299 in the UK for the 256GB storage option, but it's also incredible at macro photography, has fantastic battery life, excellent speakers, and is the first Xperia phone with a vapour chamber cooling system and an adaptive refresh rate. Sony is behind the times – other flagships offered these highlights years ago – but now that Sony's catching up and mainstreaming its new Xperia 1 VI, has it done enough or is it too little too late?
