Sony Xperia 1 II will ship for $1,199 in July this year

The Xperia 1 II has a big 6.5-inch 21:9 4K HDR OLED screen and can serve as an external display for select Sony DSLR or mirrorless camera models.

Other specs include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 856 CPU and a 4,000mAh battery to keep that bright screen going, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The Xperia 1 II is Sony’s first 5G smartphone (sub-6Ghz) for Europe, but it only appears to support LTE bands in the US. However, Sony may soon unveil the Xperia Pro 5G with high-speed mmWave 5G tech that does work in the US.

That phone would also have professional broadcast features including an HDMI input port and will no doubt cost even more than the non-pro model.

As mentioned, orders kick off on June 1st with shipping slated to start on July 24th.
