Sony unveiled the photography-focused Xperia 1 II in February and has now announced preorder and shipping dates for the US. The company knows that the $1,200 price tag will be difficult to digest, so it’s sweetening the deal, as it did with the Xperia 1, by bundling the WF-1000XM3 wireless earbuds — not the cans — for preorders placed by June 28.
On paper, the Xperia 1 II packs nearly all the goodies that buyers have come to expect from 2020 flagships, including top-end hardware and build quality, alongside an unexpected return of the 3.5mm audio jack. As noted previously, the device comes with the year’s highest-end silicon from Qualcomm (provided an 865 Plus doesn’t pop up), 8GB RAM, 256GB storage expandable via microSD, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.
