The Sony Xperia R1 is an Android-based smartphone that was sold and manufactured by Sony Mobile. Part of the mid-range Xperia series, it was introduced on October 27, 2017, along with the R1 Plus, exclusively for the Indian market.[3][4][5] The difference between the R1 and R1 Plus is only in the amount of memory. Smartphones were available in black and silver colors on November 10.[6]

Design

[edit]

The device body is entirely plastic, made in the Loop Surface concept characteristic of Sony. The top and bottom bezels remained quite large, while the side bezels are almost absent. The SIM-card and MicroSD tray is present on the left side of the device, in the form of a plug, which allows it to be opened without auxiliary things like a needle. The power button and volume rocker are located on the right side of the device, and a 3.5 mm audio jack for headphones along with a microphone are at the top. The rear camera is located in the upper left corner of the phone, and below the camera is an LED flash. The body is rounded along the side edges, while the top and bottom are sharp, on the contrary. Dimensions: width 73.4 mm, height 146 mm, thickness 8.9 mm, weight 154 grams.
