#SONY XZ PREMIUM CAMERA ANDROID#
We managed to grab a sample: Advertisementįurther Reading Sony Xperia X Compact review: Small Android is still good, but not much betterThe ultra-fast camera setup has the side effect of reducing rolling shutter artifacts. This means you'll be able to play back much slower slow motion than normal.
#SONY XZ PREMIUM CAMERA FULL#
The Sony 19MP IMX300 sensor on the XZ Premium can film at a full four times faster than the 240FPS mode found on the iPhone 7 and many high-end Android devices. With the XZ Premium camera, Sony brings a new feature to market: super-slow slow motion. Sony is a major supplier of cameras to much of the smartphone industry. A set of white gloves would have made things easier. It collects fingerprints in a matter of nanoseconds-every picture you see above is the result of vigorous cleaning. It takes in the color of whatever is around it. The color of the unit we got to handle was "Luminous Chrome." It was polished to such sheen that it was nearly a perfect mirror.
#SONY XZ PREMIUM CAMERA PLUS#
On the plus side, Sony has given the device an IP68 ingress protection rating. It's a shame Sony didn't opt for a metal back-more glass means a more fragile phone. The top of the band is metal while the sides are plastic. The front and back glass panels (both Gorilla Glass 5, if you're wondering) are flat, with a rounded band joining the two together. Sony basically cut a rectangle out of a slab of glass, stuck a screen in the middle, and minimally rounded the corners and edges. Smaller bezels would be nicer, but the design is so minimal that we can't bring ourselves to dislike it too much. The giant top and bottom bezels look dated compared to slimmer devices like the LG G6 and Xiaomi Mi Mix. That design is starting to show its age on the XZ Premium. Sony has been recycling the same smartphone design for about four years. The rest of the specs are 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, a 3230mAh battery, and IP68 dust and water resistance. There's also not much of a solution for HDR content. The XZ doesn't have the "Ultra HD Premium" certification found on many TVs, and Sony didn't provide hard numbers for brightness or color depth.

A 4K smartphone would probably make for a gorgeous display for Google's Daydream VR headset, but the XZ has a 4K LCD-LCD response times aren't fast enough for VR, and, therefore, the XZ Premium doesn't work with Daydream. 4K probably only serves to burn through battery and lower the framerate of games. It's also insane overkill for a smartphone display-1440p displays look great, too. The screen looks gorgeous, and, no matter how close you look, you won't see a pixel. This is actually Sony's second 4K smartphone, the first being its "premium" phone, the Z5 Premium. The display is a 5.5-inch, 3840×2160 LCD, which works out to a ridiculous 801 PPI. You'll need all that extra horsepower to pump out games and the occasional video in 4K. Qualcomm promises "27 percent more performance with 40 percent less power" with the new chip. In the short time I had to try the XZ, it felt fast.
Of course Sony wouldn't give us a release date for this device the launch could be months away, and the Galaxy S8 could still be the first for-sale Snapdragon 835 device ever. How monstrous? How about a Snapdragon 835 and a 4K screen? Oh, and a camera that can record at nearly 1000FPS.ĭespite the rumors that Samsung was hogging all the Snapdragon 835s for itself, Sony has brought a device with Qualcomm's top-of-the-line 2017 SoC to MWC.
If the LG G6 is a rejection of the specs race in favor of a slick new design, the Sony Xperia XZ is the complete opposite-the same boring old Sony design with a monster spec sheet. BARCELONA, Spain-Mobile World Congress is well underway, and the latest flagship to pop up is Sony's Xperia XZ Premium.
