The new Sony Xperia XZ Flagship is the first smart phone to feature a stunning high-resolution 4K HDR display and super-slow motion up to 960fps! It is worth to note that the super-slow motion capability is limited to 720p at the maximum 960fps to just 0.18 seconds, which translates to the very decent 7.2 seconds in real time (played back on a 24p timeline) For the first time ever in a smartphone, Sony has managed to fit a High Dynamic Range, UHD 3840 x 2160 resolution onto a 5.5” display for a truly unique visual experience. All this is possible thanks to the new display that features the incredible 807 ppi pixel density thanks to the impressive Sony BRAVIA TV technology. The sharp, vivid quality of the display is enriched by Sony’s native technologies TRILUMINOS Display for mobile, X-Reality for mobile and Dynamic Contrast Enhancer. xperia xz premium sensor stacked dram The new Sony Xperia XZ Premium is powered by the cutting edge Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Mobile Platform, making it one of the very first smartphones capable of Gigabit Class LTE (up to 1Gbps). This is possible because of the integrated Snapdragon X16 LTE modem, which has the potential to transform how customers use their mobile devices by delivering fibre optic speeds on the go. Sony has also managed to create the new Motion Eye™ camera system for the Xperia XZ Premium incorporating imaging know-how embedded on Sony popular Alpha series and Cyber-shot cameras. The XZ is also the company's first smartphone to feature a memory stacked Exmor RS sensor with technologies usually only found on premium compact cameras, it provides 5 x faster image scanning and data transfer. In addition to the unprecedented super-slow motion at 960fps, the XZ features something Sony calles "Predictive Capture", which "stays one step ahead and automatically starts buffering images when it detects motion even before you press the button", so you can find a moment your eye may just have missed from a selection of up to four shots taken a second before you clicked. In addition, the new 19 megapixel high resolution sensor has 19% larger pixels to capture more light and provides exceptional detail and sharp images even in low-light and backlit conditions. Additional improvements have been made inside Motion Eye to the Bionz for mobile processing engine meaning it detects moving objects more precisely to enable Predictive Capture. Clarity, detail and texture are also improved to give exceptional image quality thanks to the redesigned G lens with high optical clarity.
