Sony has just announced two new Xperia phones at IFA 2016,
the new flagship Xperia XZ.
The new Xperia XZ
will be replacing the old flagship Xperia Z series, and it's a refresh over the past year phone Xperia X
Performance. It focuses on a few important key features: design, performance,
camera, and battery life.
The phone is made of a trademarked material called “ALKALEIDO” it's a fancy word for a rounded aluminum piece,
which is very nice to touch. Sony puts a bigger 5.2" IPS display on
the Xperia XZ, still 1080p resolution, though. It's got a Snapdragon 820 chip
with 3GB RAM, top connectivity options, stereo speakers, and 32GB storage with
expansion up to 200GB via a microSD card. The new USB Type-C is a welcome change
as it is growing stronger, while water-proofing was expected feature for each
top of the line Xperia. The camera does not feature optical image
stabilization - Sony is still on the fence about that. Instead Sony focused on
its SteadyShot Intelligent Active Mode, and finally Sony is adding
manual shutter speed control and is bringing back the 4K video. The
Xperia XZ is powered by a 2,900 mAh battery. It is capable of Quick Charge 3.0
but it's not clear whether the quick charger will be supplied.
The battery also supports adaptive
charging for prolonging its life cycle which learns when you are charging your
battery overnight, stops fast charging around 90% and takes its time to charge
you battery up to 100% until the morning. In theory this should double the
service longevity of the battery.
Xperia XZ will launch in October with three color options: Mineral
Black, Forest Blue, and Platinum.
