Sony is about to launch a new flagship Xperia smartphone, and it really wants you to pre-order it. Pre-order bonuses are nothing new, but Sony is offering a very enticing deal. If you pre-order the Xperia 1, Sony will throw in a pair of WH1000XM3 noise-canceling headphones worth $350.

The Sony Xperia 1 ships on July 12 in the US, still costs way too much money
The Xperia 1 is Sony's new flagship smartphone. It was first shown off at Mobile World Congress earlier this year, and comes equipped with everything you'd expect from a high-end smartphone in 2019, all in an extremely-tall 2:1 design. Pre-orders already begun in the United States, and now it has a shipping date, and people in Europe can buy the phone too.

Sony turned some heads at MWC last month with the announcement of phones with 21:9 displays. The king of the bunch, the Xperia 1, is now available for pre-order in the U.S. for a mere $1,000 — yep, another expensive phone.

So much of the new stuff we're seeing in smartphones is focused on screens right now: new notch styles, embedded fingerprint scanners, and even screens that fold. Two years ago, one of the furthest-reaching changes in screen design got off the ground at MWC with the introduction of the LG G6 and its 18:9 aspect ratio panel, noticeable taller (or wider, depending on how you're holding it) than the 16:9 displays that had dominated phones to date. Now Sony's ready to introduce the next chapter in this saga, with the launch of three Xperia phones featuring 21:9 screens.

Sony's device naming scheme for Xperia phones has been confusing for years. The 'XZ' line of phones serve as the company's mainstream devices (akin to a Galaxy S device), with the 'XZ Premium' phones being ultra-flagships (like a Galaxy Note or LG V phone). On top of that, there are budget devices under several monikers, like the L2, R1, and XA2.
