Sony's phones are indeed very unique and popular models. Just the other day, I accidentally bought the first generation Xperia on Idle Fish, but the performance was disappointing. It was a 6+64 AU version, but luckily the screen was perfect and it had a certain charm. However, the performance of the Snapdragon 855 was a bit low, so I sold it for 380 yuan.
Afterwards, I met a girl and she sold me this Xperia 1 II. It is really well-maintained and the screen is scratch-free even without a screen protector. It has a 6+128 configuration and the Zeiss lens really sets it apart from other flagship phones. The camera performance is decent as well. The main reason I bought a Sony phone is because of its smooth and comfortable feel. It's still popular on Xiaohongshu with a rating of 9.5 and over 29,000 likes.

2. Features#
I have to say, Sony's UI style is still very plain, but it has some interesting features like the 21:9 multi-tasking mode, Side Sense, Camera Pro, and Cinema Pro, which are quite impressive.
It's not laggy, probably because it's close to stock Android and it runs smoothly with the support of Android 12. The animations are also quite good. The only advantage I feel is that it's very clean, much cleaner than domestic phones.
This phone is not very popular in China, but it still has its own charm. As a digital enthusiast, I quite like it.
Take a look at the pictures, guys.

Despite having Zeiss optics, the camera performance of this phone is not very impressive compared to phones from four years ago. Please take a look at the sample photos.
