Strike first in the dark

L-γ raiser (Low gamma raiser) makes it easier to see opponents hiding in the shadows by enhancing image details in dark areas without overexposing bright areas of the screen. So you can react before they do.

Play hard, stay cool

The total cooling system drives airflow along the body of the Xperia 1 V, creating a continuous air stream from the back to the front. This regulates the temperature, making it possible to play even high-load games for long periods of time.
