11 Next-Gen Smartphones Pushing the Boundaries of Mobile Tech

10. Sony Xperia 1 VI

The Sony Xperia 1 VI is a breath of fresh air for creators and artists who demand more from their devices. The headline feature? Pro-grade camera controls that let you tweak every shot, just like with a dedicated DSLR. Videographers and cinephiles will appreciate the sharp 4K OLED display for editing and playback. Sound gets equal love here: high-fidelity audio, a real headphone jack, and easy integration with other Sony gear (including PlayStation Remote Play). The Xperia 1 VI balances performance, battery life, and a unique tall form factor that stands out in a sea of sameness. Whether you’re dreaming up your next film or simply want studio-quality music on the go, this Sony has you covered.
