From zero plastic0 packaging to accessibility features, find out how we're working to become sustainable and inclusive.
Making packaging sustainable
As part of Sony's sustainability drive, the Xperia 1 V features no plastic packaging, with plastic components either eliminated or replaced with paper materials. We've also made the packaging slim and compact for more efficient transportation.
The Xperia 1 V's packaging uses Original Blended Material, which is made from bamboo, sugarcane fibres, and post-consumer recycled paper, all of which are readily available around the world's largest manufacturing hubs in Asia.
Using recycled plastic
At Sony we’ve reduced our use of non-renewable resources by developing SORPLAS™, a recycled plastic that is environmentally friendly and offers high performance, making it ideal for our new products.
Improving accessibility
From enabling voice control to increasing text size, the Xperia 1 V includes a range of accessibility features, enabling anyone to communicate freely, whatever their individual needs.
With the latest Photography Pro, you can opt to have a sound played when your Xperia camera tilts to one side or the other. So even if you are a person who is low vision, you can take a straight picture. The UI has also been updated to make it easier to use.
