Once the software detects a need for them, a panel slides up to reveal the 25-megapixel selfie camera and 16-megapixel+20-megapixel dual setup on the rear.

When it comes to Bluetooth headphones with active noise cancellation (ANC), Sony’s WH-1000X series has a place of its own, and the WH-1000 XM3 are supposed to be the best of the lot and rival even Bose’s legendary QC-35 II headphones, which many used to consider the last word in ANC.
