Sony's Xperia XZ Premium debuted as the quiet winner in the smartphone race early this week at the 2017 Mobile World Congress. The new flagship smartphone by Sony debuts with some pretty massive features, including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Processor and 4K HDR display.
BGR said Sony’s new flagship phone marks it the first of its kind in the market today. The prototype at the trade show, showcases a 5.5-inch, 3840×2160 LCD, and works out 801 PPI. Ars Technica said the Xperia XZ Premium is actually Sony’s second smartphone with a 4K display, as they have equipped this before in their earlier premium model, the Z5 Premium. On the other hand, the 4K might be a battery burner for someone who’s comfortable with a smartphone with a 1440 display.
The Snapdragon 835 processor is quite the top of the line for this premium phone, considering the fact that the top-dog processor isn’t in production yet, WIRED reported. But these, and the rest of the phone’s high-quality specs (Android 7.1 Nougat, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, 3230mAh battery, and IP68 dust and water resistance), could be working on their favor, considering that this is the right venue to make a mark now.
“Sony needed to make a big splash, and it has. Cannonballs don’t win medals, but they’re a heck of a lot of fun to gawk at,” Brian Barrett for the magazine wrote.
Sony Xperia XZ Premium will be available in Luminous Chrome and Deepsea Black variants beginning late spring. However, the smartphone’s launch date and pricing details have yet to be provided.
