Sony's strongest flagship gets attention in just about everything. What is the mirror case of a smartphone worth — not very practical in terms of visibility of traces of pollution, but causing a “wow” effect in others. Appearance is not the main thing, because the front panel of the Sony Xperia XZ Premium is occupied by a unique 5.46-inch 4K screen (3840x2160 pixels). “Under the hood” of the mobile gadget, advanced hardware is installed as part of the Snapdragon 835 chip, 4 GB of RAM and Adreno 540 graphics.
The built-in data storage has a volume of 64 GB, while support for microSD memory cards up to 256 GB is claimed. The “chip” of the main camera of the device (19 MP) is the support for video recording in HD resolution at a speed of 960 fps. The front camera uses a 13-megapixel matrix with software algorithms to improve the skin of the model's face when taking selfies. The body of the smartphone is protected from dust and moisture according to the IP68 standard, and there is a place for a fingerprint scanner on the side edge.
Sony has made it a rule to present flagship smartphones to the public at every well-known consumer electronics show (MWC and IFA). As part of the IFA 2016, the top representative of the Xperia line was announced — a model with the XZ index.
Unusual style
Stylish and unusual design instantly attracts the attention of others to the smartphone. Its aluminium alloy body looks like a single piece and tenaciously fits in any hand. Only large frames at the top and bottom of the screen stand out from the overall picture. The display is made of 2.5D glass, under which a proprietary IPS-matrix with FullHD resolution (1920x1080 pixels) is hidden. With a screen size of 5.2 ", there are absolutely no questions about the convenience of controlling with one hand or the readability of the picture. Especially since the brightness reserve is enough for all life situations.
Power
At the heart of the smartphone is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor typical of the entire flagship family based on Android OS. It is paired with 3 GB of RAM, turning the heaviest applications without hesitation. The power reserve of the hardware will last at least a year in advance. But the battery capacity looks somewhat underestimated for a top-end device and is 2900 mAh. In contrast to the above, it is necessary to note the effective energy-saving algorithms of Sony phones, so you hardly have to worry about the battery life.
Photo and video
An equally strong side of the Sony Xperia XZ is photo and video shooting. The main camera with an impressive 23 MP and a maximum aperture of f / 2.0 boasts ultra-fast hybrid autofocus, which catches the subject almost instantly, and the ability to record 4K movies. A 13 MP front camera takes good selfies and can recognize faces.
Flagship
A fingerprint scanner, Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0 fast charging, IP68 dust and water protection – it’s quite difficult to stop the flow of flattering words about a smartphone. And is it necessary? After all, he fully deserves them.
