The device is a successor to the Sony Xperia X and is priced at Rs. 75,000. Prebookers get a Sony Headphones (XB250) worth around Rs. 20,000 for free.
The Xperia XZ is a good looking device with rounded edges which is sure to help make the phone easy to hold and handle. It boasts a gorilla glass up front, polycarbonate frame and ALKALEIDO metal on the back. Specs-wise, the Xperia XZ features a 5.2-inch full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) display at 424 ppi. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 820 processor with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage.
In 2016, phones have been coming back to housing a slot for microSD and the Xperia XZ has followed that trend. It can support external storage up to 256GB. It will support Quick Charge 3.0 and a USB Type-C reversible connector. It comes with a 23 MP camera with an IMX300 sensor. The camera has a f/2.0 aperture with laser autofocus for fast focusing, color detection, and phase detection autofocus. It features a Non-removable Li-Ion 2900 mAh battery.The all-new Sony Xperia XZ comes at a time when all flagships have been opting for Quad-HD display. Also, the phone runs on 3GB of RAM which was the base for all devices in the previous year. It may run smoothly but if you’re looking an all-new amazing device with all new hardware and specs, you might be disappointed. The battery capacity might support the 1080×1920 display fairly but it is still below what we expect smartphones to house at the present time. So, it must be the camera that Sony is counting on for this device to be a hit.
