Love watching movies and TV shows on your smartphone? Then the Sony Xperia 1 could be the perfect phone for you. The 6.5in OLED UltraHD screen ensures videos look vivid and clear. Even better, the phone supports Dolby Atmos (a cinematic audio format) so it'll be as close to a cinema experience when watching films on your phone.

It's fast and there's plenty of storage space. It's also got a great camera too that can shoot video in 4K. Although there are a few bells and whistles lacking, such as wireless charging, we still think this is a solid smartphone.
