Sony Xperia XZ Premium. What's new in Sony's flagship smartphone
Spring came, and along with it the loud announcements by Sony. At the MWC 2017 exhibition in Barcelona, the company announced four new smartphones and a multimedia projector based on Android. And now it's time to talk about new products in more detail. We decided to slightly change the format of publications in the blog, and the first thing to tell about the flagship smartphone Xperia XZ Premium.
Xperia XZ Premium is made in the same style as the original Xperia XZ, presented last year, only the dimensions differ (due to the larger display) and the location of the volume keys (they remained on the right side, but moved higher). So what's new?
1. 4K HDR-display with a diagonal of 5.5 inches . Yes, 4K was already in the Xperia Z5 Premium, but the current flagship uses the IPS-matrix of the new generation. It has better color gamut, more precisely, color rendition and higher brightness and contrast values. In normal mode (on the desktop, in service applications, on social networks, and so on), the screen displays a picture in Full HD resolution, and during video playback (and it does not matter in which application) the display turns on to full capacity. The difference is visible to the naked eye. Content originally recorded at a lower resolution will automatically upscale to 4K.

2. Camera Motion Eye . A flagship smartphone would be unthinkable without a new camera. The new camera uses the Sony IMX400 module, which is not yet available to other manufacturers. The resolution of the matrix is 19 megapixels, the lens has a digital stabilization system, but the most interesting thing is that the CMOS-sensor has its own memory modules, which significantly improve its speed characteristics. Thanks to this Xperia XZ Premium can shoot HD-video with a frequency of up to 960 frames per second. A little later, we will definitely show how it works.
3. Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 platform . It's official: the Sony Xperia XZ Premium becomes the first smartphone using the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 system-on-chip. The central processor is eight-core, 4 cores operate at a frequency of up to 2.5 GHz, 4 other cores - at a frequency of up to 1.9 GHz. RAM will be 4 GB.
4. IP68 protection . In the home market of Sony, in Japan, protection against dust and moisture has long been something new. This is a completely standard option for most mobile phones. We will not produce the essence, so that Xperia XZ Premium will have the same characteristics for all countries of the world. Well, the IP68 standard, we recall, implies a half-hour stay under water at a depth of one and a half meters.
5. A fresh look at classic colors . Sony Xperia XZ Premium will be available in deep black (Deep Sea Black) and silver (Luminous Chrome). Tentatively - in early June 2017. The exact date of sales and the recommended price for Russia, we will definitely inform you later.
In the meantime, you have a great opportunity to ask absolutely any question about the XZ Premium, and we will tell you everything in detail in the comments.
