The Sony Xperia 1 series is the current line of flagship Android smartphones in the Sony Xperia series manufactured by Sony Mobile since 2019. It succeeded both the Xperia Z and Xperia XZ series, especially the Z5 Premium and XZ Premium series. [1][2] Unlike in the Xperia Z and XZ naming scheme, the Sony Xperia 1 series (and subsequently the other numeral Xperia series introduced in 2019) borrowed its nomenclature from its Sony Alpha camera division, where every succession of Xperia numeral series is stated with "Mark" (e.g. Xperia 1 II, spell as Sony Xperia 1 Mark 2), and released annually instead of their predecessor bi-annually.
