Sony’s stunning new Xperia™ XZ Premium with the world’s first Super slow motion video in a smartphone.
• Ground-breaking Motion Eye™ camera with the world’s first Super slow motion video in a smartphone and new Predictive Capture.
• From BRAVIA to Xperia, the world’s first smartphone with a 4K HDR display.
• Super-fast up to 1Gbps download speeds to get 4K movies in your hands in seconds.
Sony Mobile Communications (“Sony Mobile”) today announced its most ground-breaking smartphone to date, Xperia XZ Premium, with a camera so advanced it captures motion that the human eye can’t see, a beautiful 4K HDR display, super-fast download speeds, a stunning loop design and even more intelligent features.
Encapsulating decades of Sony innovation, Xperia XZ Premium incorporates imaging know-how embedded on Sony ‘α’ and Cyber-shot™ cameras to create the new Motion Eye™ camera system, for capturing life in ways no other smartphone can.
The 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. This means you can create sensational videos from your everyday moments by recording in 960 frames per second, providing Super slow motion video playback that is four times slower than other smartphonesiv giving you more detail than has ever been possible in the palm of your hand.
Plus Predictive Capture 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. On top of this, the new 19MP 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.
For the first time ever in a smartphone, Xperia XZ Premium features a 4K HDR (High Dynamic Range, 2160 x 3840) 5.5” display. A truly unique Sony experience, it uses Sony’s BRAVIA TV technology to give you an immersive 4K HDR viewing experience in the palm of your hand, removing the constraints of your sofa. Astonishing brightness, colour, clarity and contrast are realised to create levels of realism you almost feel part of the scene.
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.
For the first time on mobile, you can enjoy a selection of 4K HDR content from Amazon Prime Video on Xperia XZ Premium. Stream or download select Amazon Originals seriesv to watch whenever and wherever you want, with intensely vivid colours and breath-taking clarity.
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)[i]. 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.
The Snapdragon 835 platform also supports stunning graphics, superior performance and enhanced battery efficiency. File transfers are also supercharged thanks to the USB 3.1 connection which is 10 times quicker than USB 2.0 with a transfer speed of up to 5Gbps.
And with the USB Type-C™ socket, plugging in is easy because the connector is always the right way up.
With so many advanced technologies working in harmony, it is only fitting that the Xperia XZ Premium has a harmonious design to match, making it beautiful on the inside and out.
The exterior has an exquisite glass loop surface which when turned over reveals a luxurious mirrored effect on the back. Every aspect of the XZ Premium is unified, from its seamless flowing lines and intuitive fingerprint sensor power buttonvi to the new live wallpaper which moves the elegant loops as you swipe, to the colours you see on screen which are matched to the beautiful colours of the exterior.
Rain is one less thing to think about when you’re out and about with the Xperia XZ Premium. It’s water resistantvii, dust-proof and reinforced with Corning®
Gorilla® Glass 5 on the front and back of the handset, taking beauty and durability to new heights.
Taking intelligence to the next level Xperia XZ learns how you use your phone and adapts and makes recommendations to give you our most smartest and
personal experience yet.
The battery is maximised with Smart Stamina which
uses the Xperia learning engine to accurately estimate how long your current battery will last based on your normal usage.
It even warns you if it detects you’re going to run out of power later that day and prompts you to activate Stamina mode. Battery Careviii and Qnovo Adaptive Charging are also included to protect your battery and keep it healthy up to twice as long.
Xperia Tips and new Xperia Actions offer you handy advice about the features ou’re using and even suggests map downloads based on your location, all
aimed at making life that little bit easier.
The Sony experience is continued through to the audio and gaming capabilities.
High Resolution Audio playback allows you to hear every nuance and detail in a rack as if you’re right there with the artist. Sony’s native DSEE HX™ technology even up-scales streamed tracks or MP3s to near High-res quality and if you connect with wireless speakers or headphones, LDAC ensures you don’t lose a drop of sound quality by transferring three times more audio data than normal Bluetooth.
Working with your PlayStation®4 console, you can play the latest cutting-edge games on your Xperia XZ Premium. Its advanced processing and fast memory access means gameplay is always smooth and responsive, plus the 4K screen and powerful stereo speakers make it feel like you’re actually in the game.
Xperia XZ Premium is available globally in in Luminous Chrome and Deepsea Black, from late Spring 2017. A range of supporting accessories will be available including the Quick Charger UCH12Wix which offers hours of battery time by plugging in for just a few minutes and Bluetooth Headset with Speaker SBH56 which enables hands free talking through the loud speaker whilst multi-tasking and has a remote camera shutter.
Xperia XZs Sony Mobile today also launched its Xperia XZs, available in select markets, which takes our flagship device to a new level with the integration of the brand new Motion Eye™ camera. Sony imaging know-how from both ‘α’ and Cybershot ™ cameras means you get 960fps Super slow motion video, Predictive Capture and all the added quality benefits of the redesigned G lens and new Bionz™ for mobile image processing engine. Image and video playback look beautiful on the 5.2” Full HD display which is integrated into the loop surface design with the ALKALEIDO™ metal back creating a premium shine and feel.
Design hallmarks also include water-resistanceviii and finger-print sensor integrated into the power buttonvii.
