Smartphones nowadays have advanced to a greater extent. It has AI, Fast camera capture, Bigger RAM, Powerful processor and a very Neat Body Design. Sony smartphone manufacturer is one of my favorites of all time. I have used Sony mobile from my childhood days starting from a basic handset to the new ones that has revolutionized mobile phones; Walkman series to Xperia Z premium models. It's such a great pleasure to see that there are smartphones which could make our life easier and simpler just by tapping the screen. It maybe from turning on the device to till the work-out list it creates for you. Your list may include your heart rate, steps you have walked, running, swimming and even logging your sleep patterns. Since the Artificial Intelligence begun, they're making way into our personal life too. Google's AI is first of its kind to make way into our life by using Google Allo. Thus being said, let's take a look at Sony smartphone that was introduced few weeks back.
The Japanese giant manufacturer, Sony Mobile, has introduced a new premium series mobile. It is called Xperia XZ. Yes, Xperia stands for eXperience though but XZ adds form factor here. Xperia XZ was introduced in India late september through Amazon India - partnership allowing the users to pre-book it online. The pre-bookers were promised with a Smart band which collects and logs your basic workouts.
There are basically 4 color variants; Mineral black, Platinum, Forest blue and Deep Pink. The colors seem a promising feature of the phone. However, Forest Blue color caught most of the consumers eye over the pre-booking period. In India, it was bearing the price tag of 49,990 INR only. Amazon India allowed its customers to buy through easy EMI option from Bajaj (that means you can buy the products online without paying down payment and just EMIs). Mineral black as usual was my favorite.
Features:
The phone features Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, 64-bit chipset with 3 GB RAM. The ROM allocated is 64 GB with a Hybrid SIM slot. The memory card slot could bear up to 256 GB. It had 2900 mAh battery with Qnovo Adaptive Charging and long standing STAMINA mode with Quick Charge. The phone also boasts water and dust resistance. The phone weighs only 161 g with dimensions 146 x 72 x 8.1 mm. The screen is made of 5.2 inches with IPS LCD panel along with corning gorilla glass. The screen resolution is set to 1080 x 1920 with Triluminous and X-Reality engine. It has an amazing Sony sensor with 23 MP, f/2.0, 24 mm EIS, PDAF and LDAF camera. It can record video in 4K resolution. The front shooter is set to 13 MP for wider selfies. The phone also has USB type-C reversible connector (future proof). The audio reproduction is HD with 24-bit/192 kHz. The security feature includes fast finger print scanner and Android Marshmallow's privacy adviser.
Released in September this Smartphone certainly will impress the people who're in need of a phone that has current tech and also has an amazing camera. Anyone coming from Xperia Z5 model will feel no difference excluding its body design and a new processor.
Sony claims that it has designed the body with a new trademarked material called ALKALEIDO, basically an aluminum alloy. The body has superb chamfers around the corners and feels different when you hold it. The classical Sony has resorted to a new design that might revolutionize the Sony's flagship killer.
Sony also boasts about a new feature called Qnovo Adaptive Charging which looks & learn about your charging pattern and will increase the battery life to a larger extent. Even if you plug-in to juice it all night, the software will turn the battery to 95 - 98 percent and will stop the charging. Thus increasing the battery life. However, Sony has failed to introduce the wireless charging to this new smartphone.
The phone also has a good feature that supports to clean and handle the apps on your device. The apps that are not quite often used will be closed in the background and clear the caches of different apps for better performance.
When you hear Sony, the thing that comes to your mind is nothing but its brilliant camera and sound quality. As always, Sony Xperia XZ promises to give you a peace of mind in terms of best photos that can be your best memories and also audiophiles can peacefully enjoy their Hi resolution audios without much distortion or improper reproduction. Sony has also introduced few headphones that are compatible with this smartphone. The hi resolution audio files may weigh from 20 MB to 100 MB each. So, Sony thought about this and has introduced the storage capacity to 256 GB, which current SD SoC supports.
It maybe worrisome if you're carrying a phone and end up in rain or dust. Be calm, this phone is IP65/IP68 certified. That means it is dust and water proof. Flaunt your mobile in rain and dust without worrying a bit.
Camera supports 23 MP with low light photography. The Exmor RS for mobile image sensor works like a professional DSLR camera and will get all the details under low light conditions. The ISO ranges from 200 to 12800. It has a new feature called Triple Image Sensing technology which allows you to take blur free images even when the subjects are moving. The predictive Hybrid Auto-focus works like a charm under any conditions allowing you take a snap lightning fast. Steady shot which allows the camera to take pictures swiftly and easily by providing 5-axis stabilization, though its a software support it works really really great when compared to Optical Image Stabilization.
The box includes a phone, bunch of certificates and user manual with a quick charger (may vary with different regions) and ear buds. The MRP of the device in India is 51,990 inclusive of all taxes for one unit of the product.
If you're intrigued by the new design, minimalistic curves, adaptive charging, quick charging, capturing your moments without blur and blink of an eye and lots and lots more you can buy this phone. The phone features 5-axis image stabilization, triple image processing and much more that are purely software basis and not hardware. So think twice before you make an investment like this. Sony India is also providing EMI facilities if you're interested.
I am adding few snaps here for your convenience to look at the images that's been shot using Sony's Xperia XZ. Judge it by yourself and make use of it whether to buy or pass.
