PUBG Mobile Esports picks Sony Xperia flagships as the official smartphones for the 2022 tournaments
Sony Xperia is the official smartphone partner for the 2022 global tournaments in PUBG Mobile. For the forthcoming competitions, Sony will provide its flagships for pro players all over the globe.
This year more tournaments will be held in more regions so that more people will have the opportunity to compete. There will be two major events – the 2022 PUBG Mobile Global Championship and a mid-year tournament (details on the latter will be revealed soon).
” Player experience is a priority at PUBG MOBILE esports. It felt easy and natural to partner with Sony’s Xperia(tm). We look forward to seeing our players showcasing an even stronger performance with their Xperia flagship series at our global tournaments this year.” said James Yang, Director of PUBG Mobile Global Esports.
You may not think of the Sony Xperia 1 III and Xperia 5 III as gaming phones, but Sony actually put a lot of effort into making them just that. The engineers have been consulting pro players since the Mark II generation. They went as far as recording the finger movements of the players and replicating them with a robot to help them fine-tune the display. The display has a 120 Hz refresh rate and 240 Hz touch sampling rate, by the way.
There are also features such as the “L-g riser”, which highlights the shadows without obscuring the rest of an image, to help you spot dark enemies. It will be interesting to see if the tournament rules allow the usage of this feature and Sony’s other game tweaks.
