Sony, Oppo, and Huawei snatch EISA 2024 awards
Sony Xperia 1 VI is the best creator smartphone for 2024-2025, according to EISA. The Expert Imaging and Sound Association released its winners across six categories, and the Mobile Devices section saw Honor, Oppo and Huawei products join the Xperia flagship as being outstanding in their field.
The Honor 200 Pro was picked for best smartphone overall, the Oppo Reno12 Pro is the best AI smartphone, while the recently introduced Space Edition of the Huawei Watch 4 Pro is the best smartwatch.
The Xperia 1 VI was picked as the âultimate smartphone for creatorsâ for its triple camera with Zeiss optics and Exmor T* coating. It has a 12 MP telephoto lens with 3.5x-7.1x continuous optical zoom and a one-for-all camera app for all the creator's needs. We also found it to have nicely-tuned speakers and an impeccable Active Use Score.
The Honor 200 Pro also caught the eyes of the committee, and won the overall award for its âversatile triple-camera setupâ and lovely design of the back panel. Its unique Portrait mode is also something worth noting as it delivers shots that resemble professional shots in a photo studio.
AI Smartphone is a new award among Mobile Devices, and we can expect it to stay for the near future. The Reno12 Pro was picked for its AI Eraser 2.0 feature that removes unwanted objects, while AI Clear Face increases clarity and reduces distortion in the face area of a photo.
The Huawei Watch 4 Pro is an amazing wearable on its own but EISA picked the Space Edition for the dual-color nano-crystalline ceramic bezel. It is Red and Black, and Huawei confirmed multiple times this isn't a mere paintjob but a complex process that takes up to 7 days to manufacture the bezel to such detail.
