Sony has announced new Xperia X series smartphones – the 5.2-inch flagship Xperia XZ and the compact 4.6-inch Xperia X Compact, which, according to the manufacturer, offer an even smarter and more personalized approach.
Sony Xperia XZ
The camera technology of the new flagship model Sony Xperia XZ and the compact new Xperia X Compact will allow their owners to get the best pictures, thanks to the collaboration of the camera developers with the company's digital imaging engineers: two additional auxiliary elements have been added to the already famous Sony Exmor RS sensor.
The new technology for the 23 MP main camera, according to the manufacturer, allows you to get clear pictures of moving objects with natural color rendition in almost any conditions. The first element of the three-sensor technology is Sony's original Exmor RS for mobile sensor, which is designed to guarantee high-quality images with fast AF speed, as well as Predictive Hybrid AF to predict the movement of your subjects. The second is laser autofocus, which measures the distance to subjects, even in low light conditions. The third element is an RGBC-IR sensor with color detection technology, which is responsible for obtaining natural colors in the image; it adjusts the white balance precisely to the light source when shooting.

For selfie lovers, Sony engineers have equipped the Xperia XZ with a 13MP front camera with ISO6400 sensitivity and a 22mm / 90-degree wide-angle lens. Plus, the Xperia XZ lets you capture 4K video.
Among other features of the presented novelties, it is noted that the Xperia XZ has a moisture-resistant case and is equipped with a display with rounded glass at the edges and a metal back panel made of high-grade ALKALEIDO metal. And the fingerprint reader built into the Xperia XZ and Xperia X Compact's power button keeps your data secure. The button is located on the side, allowing you to unlock the smartphone with one easy movement. Both models support Battery Care and Qnovo technologies to keep your battery in optimal condition and double its life.
