Not surprisingly, Sony has unveiled at IFA both smartphones that had recently been the subject of rumors. The Xperia XZ, new flagship with a 5.2 inch Full HD screen, just take the reins of the X discovery at Mobile World Congress. The Compact X is, meanwhile, a version XZ small format (4.6 inch HD).
A giant step for the photo
year, the big news concerns the picture since both devices are equipped with three sensors picture on the back. At the usual 23 megapixels, are indeed added a laser sensor (which measures the distance to the subject and allows for sharper images even in low light) and an RGB sensor (for better color fidelity ). The alliance of three according to Sony would significantly improve the quality of photos including in low light.
To support these sensors include Predictive Autofocus found on the Xperia X but also discovers new advanced manual settings possibilities. For video, Sony has integrated SteadyShot digital stabilization on 5 axes. A first on a smartphone and a techno that comes straight from the brand cameras. Finally, the front there is a 13 megapixel sensor
new design and new material
it also changes these new models is design, both male and more square when looking at the XZ and X Compact face. This is especially noticeable when compared to the Xperia X fairly smooth lines and XZ with sharper corners.
in contrast, Sony provides very round slices to its new smartphones which makes the handling quite nice.
But the main asset of the XZ rest his back, designed a new metal, Alkaleido, the matt and elegant, which sports a blue color rather pleasant. This material has the advantage of taking fewer fingerprints than glass. Only sprained style, a strip of plastic rather texture at the bottom of the device to facilitate the work of the antennas.
as for equipment, the Xperia XZ runs Android with 6 820 a Qualcomm processor and 3GB of RAM. The power will be at the rendezvous but it is unclear if the battery 2900 mAh follow. A check in our tests!
Stamina mode power saving is still required and techno Qnovo and Battery Care are available to extend the life of the battery. storage side are 32 GB expandable to 256 GB by microSD and USB connector for the C-type with Quick Charge jack.
Finally, the XZ has as its predecessors with a fingerprint reader on the edge. It meets the IP 68 standard seal, which is not the case of his brother the X Compact.
Almost as big
Compact X incorporates most of the features of its big brother except battery 2700 mAh and only the screen 4.6 inch HD. However, it enjoys a particularly bright display. Sony also announced 700 candelas / m² for both models, a very important light for a smartphone.
For the rest, there is the same picture device with three sensors on the back . The processor is a bit less powerful, an octal-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 and sealing absent but the rest is waiting for you.
Only regret the X Compact with his back to the glossy finish offers a less sophisticated design than its big brother. Smaller, it is also more plump or slim … less.
The Sony Xperia XZ will be sold in October at a price of 699 euros. Xperia X Compact will, meanwhile, available in the same period but for 449 euros.
