Due to coronavirus fears, the MWC was canceled, but Sony still had its press event, albeit only in the form of an online stream. .

At the event, Sony launched its new flagship phone, the Sony Xperia 1 II.

The phone will be available in black and purple, with Sony primarily pushing the black color in its press materials.

The 6.5-inch display has a 21:9 aspect ratio with a 3,840x1,644 resolution and motion blur reduction, which should provide for a smooth image (Sony says it's the equivalent of a 90Hz display).
