New flagship Sony Xperia. XZ Premium was recognized as the best "New Smartphones and Mobile Devices on MWC 2017" category. This decision was made by the International GSM Association at the Annual Global Mobile Awards Awards (Glomo Awards). The novelty is built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset with 8 cores and ADRENO 540 video screen, 4 GB has random access memory and 64 GB of data warehouses. The case is made of Gorilla Glass glass. The front panel has a 5.5-inch HDR screen with support 4K. From other marketing chips, we note the new 19-megapixel main Motion Eye chamber, which is able to record videos at a speed of 960 frames per second and reproduce them in slow motion mode, four times slower than on other smartphones. The front camera can take pictures with a resolution of 13 MPKS. Per autonomous work Responsible battery with a capacity of 3200 mA * h.
In addition, our colleagues from gsmarena.com found out that the radio module is attached to one of the front speakers and is used as an antenna.
"Xperia xz Premium is the most technically outstanding smartphone ever created by us. Such recognition for us is a great honor - Xperia XZ Premium received approval from operators partners, media, consumers and colleagues in the industry, which is undoubtedly evidence of our constant aspiration for innovation and to provide users with the best products and impressions from their Use, "said the president and executive director of Sony Mobile Communications Hiroka Totoko.
In monitor high-resistant (60 ohms) headphones, low frequencies have been worked perfectly, but always work in moderation and picking up - before, sorry, "perdeal" does not reach the maximum volume. The volume is excellent, it is tightly bottled "mid", and high frequencies drag the accents. That is, they do not dissert in the ears on a permanent basis, but divorced with the rest of the range. But they work much more clearly than in conventional flagships based on Snapdragon (Xiaomi Mi 6, Oneplus 3), and this turns out to be enough.
Although for lovers, it is also plenty for lovers to handle on their own way.
DSEE HX. - An analogue of the Samsung UHQ Upscaler, a tricky algorithm that completes the audio files of the Lossy (MP3, OGG Vorbis) audio files if not to formats without loss, then up to a slightly higher level than "stitched" in the file itself. In MP3 files with an initially high-quality spectrum, low frequencies "presses", slightly adds volume and clarity.
Clearaudio +. - puts high frequencies to the fore and makes them clear. And quite competently does it - does not introduce any metal shades or other pornography of nonsense. Without it, it is also not bad, but as a recipe from the "Patzansky" mastering (when the music was recorded with an eye to "swing the bottom") a very successful option.
Volume Sound (VPT) - Function "on an amateur". Differently distorts the sound and brings an artificial "concert" echo.
There is a 6-band equalizer that can be turned on instead DSEE HX or CLEARAUDIO +. Not remarkable, except for a separate adjustment low frequencies Clear Bass. - "Bubel" is very intelligent and concerns the "bottoms" otherwise than if you simply shove the throttle chart of the Ahh in Poweramp, for example.
This is in the "monitoriki". And in the "plugs" of the level of Xiaomi Hybrid Pro HD (32 Ohms) of the low frequencies, most often lacks, and the clarity seems to be redundant - after 15 minutes you or get used, or get a ringing in your ears. And it is strange, because Sony assures that the smartphone will select the type of headphones independently, using the AHO system. But the de facto with Clearaudio + the sound becomes caustic, it is impossible to listen, and DSEE HX makes the scene "denser", but the ringing RF is still annoying, and there is no longer anywhere ringing and accessing an equalizer. The output is a small "supervision" in Clear Bass and a decrease in the detail in the "twilka" range of 16 kHz. Beauty!
As an option "I want a cool sound one by pressing the button" LG G6 with Quad Dac looks brighter (Koreans finally taught their flagship to correctly adjust the sound under the type of headphones without additional questions), But Samsung in Galaxy S8 disappeared "dirty" as for the flagship sound and "damning" of sound with the slightest intervention in the equalizer. Now Galaxy S8 sounds on a par with Xperia XZ Premium only with additional activation of UHQ Upscaler, and if you use "Improvers", Sony breaks forward. It's amazing, but this is such a victory, apparently, the standard DAC WCD9341 in Snapdragon 835 over the more prestigious Cirrus Logis in Exynos 8895.
Iron
Last year, the description of smartphones based on the top Snapdragon was made easier. Like, look - another mobile phone under the control of the fastest chipset, and no longer need no explanation. In 2017, the stars are located a little differently, so you have to start from afar.
Qualcomm - Bird Proud, while you don't flush up - it will fly. After in 2015, hot California guys disappear with the hot Chinese Snapdragon 810, and Samsung with their more advanced factories and Galaxy S6 delivered all competitors on the benchmarks, the American chipmayaker put every effort so that the new generation processor became a masterpiece.
Sony introduced its new flagship - Sony Xperia XZ1 smartphone. Rumors about the title confirmed. This phone is equipped with a Motioneye camera with a super-grinder mode, a predictive shooting system with a smile recognition, automatic focusing in serial filming mode, new feature 3D scanning and 5.2 "Full HD HDR display.

The battery with increased capacity allows you to actively use the smartphone throughout the day. Battery Care technology and QNOVO adaptive charging feature allow you to extend battery life.
The Sony Xperia XZ1 smartphone has a new Motion Eye camera module, created on the basis of technologies used in Sony α and Cyber-shot chambers. Exmor RS matrix with built-in buffer memory allows you to photograph moving objects, providing excellent image quality. Super-grinding with a frequency of 960 frames per second will create spectacular videos. The new predictive shooting mode constantly controls the shooting process and automatically starts the image buffering when actions or smile is detected. The new serial shooting mode with the tracking autofocus provides clear pictures. All these opportunities complements the first-class 13 MP front-camera With a 1/3 matrix "and a special outbreak display that allows you to make a wonderful selfie in any lighting.
The main thing is the new Sony Xperia XZ1. This is a 3D Creator technology that uses the innovative Sony algorithm that allows you to quickly and easily scan objects, opening up new features for work and entertainment. With this smartphone, you can perform high-quality scanning of the object in just one minute using four modes: scan scan, face scanning, meal scanning and free scan format. Ready images can be divided with your friends, send a 3D sticker to the messenger, or download it to the site, for example, Sketchfab, created for publishing and exchange of interactive 3D models. In addition, the models created using the Sony Xperia XPER XZ1 smartphone can be printed on a 3D printer.
In the flagship XZ1 installed 5.2-inch Full HD display covered protective glass Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Thanks to Sony Bravia TV technologies and support for HDR standard, it provides excellent color reproduction and high contrast.

The Japanese company Sony has a huge impact on the digital electronics market. Smartphones of this manufacturer are characterized by their branded design and excellent cameras. Today we have drawn up the rating in which the best flagships Sony 2018-2019.
Sony Xperia XZ Premium
- Screen: IPS, 5.46 "UltraHD 4K;
- Processor: Snapdragon 835 (2.4 GHz);
- Memory: 4/64 GB;
- Battery: 3230 mAh.
The new appearance of modern flagships is a widescreen display on the entire front panel, the absence of a framework and abolition of obsolete connectors. However, the current situation on the smartphone market is little concerned about Sony, the company stubbornly continues to go its own way. Japanese designer chips look pretty "barbaric" against the background of the same iPhone X. For comparison: Xperia XZ Premium has a 5.46-inch display, while the device body is larger Samsung Galaxy S8, LG G6 and even HTC U11.
In the top model, Sony embodied several interesting things that are still in no hurry to implement other manufacturers. First, the smartphone has a separate key to shut down the camera's shutter - the old tradition of all the company's cellphones. Secondly, the fingerprint scanner here is embedded directly into the power key on the right end of the device. Xperia XZ Premium itself has the effect of chromium on the rear panel, which is why it turns into a completely mirror surface.
In addition to the Sony Xperia XZ PREMIUM solar glare attracts another 5.46-inch display with 4K resolution. While in Galaxy S8 we saw only Quadhd +, it will also reach a completely different level. The quality of color reproduction, viewing angles, juiciness of the picture - everything is at the height. Content HDR10 playback support is present. The new flagship is generally very well suited for watching movies in 4K, especially with stereo speakers. Actually, for the sake of these most stereo speakers, the Japanese had to significantly increase the platforms above and under the device screen.
In the benchmark Antutu Sony Xperia XZ Premium, there is quite a bit behind Galaxy S8, but the gap of 15 thousand points will not be noticeable at all in practice. Smartphone performance is enough even for the most demanding games from Play Market. True, the flagship will work when playing on 4K permission not long - in just 4 hours of very active use The Xperia XZ Premium battery is completely discharged. Solves this problem automatic switching to FullHD permission that is in the settings of the device.
Gadget received only one flagship 19 megapixel camera with the branded IMX400 photo sealer. Key feature Cameras have become the possibility of slow motion in HD quality with a frequency of 960 frames per second. True, Slow-Mo video cannot be selected after shooting, you need to "catch" right during the process. Given that it is only two tenths of seconds, get the necessary slowdown videos is quite difficult. Maximum resolution for shooting video - 4K.
Output:SonyXperia.Xz.Premium is bulky, angular, bright and memorable. If you like the form factor of modern smartphones - this model is not exactly for you.
Sony Xperia XZ Premium
Sony Xperia XZ1.
- Screen: IPS, 5.2 "FullHD;
- Memory: 4/64 GB;
- Camera: Basic - 19 megapixel, frontal - 13 MP;
- Battery: 2700 mAh.
After the summer release of Xperia XZ Premium, the rows of top phones from Sony were replenished with another model - Xperia XZ1. The device received a display with a smaller diagonal, all-metal case and the same productive platform. At the time of starting sales, the autumn Xperia XZ1 also cost about $ 200 cheaper than the main flagship. In general, the company positions this unit as a cross between flagships and devices of the average price category.
Unlike Sony Xperia XZ Premium, the smartphone is not such a bulky and bright, chrome coating on the rear panel is missing. Three vessel color options are available - black, silver and blue. IP68 Waterproof Standard is present, the gadget can safely immerse the water to a depth of one meter. The Xperia XZ1 flagship also inherited stereo speakers located above and under the display.
The screen itself has FullHD permission with a diagonal of 5.2 inches, pixel density - 424 units per inch. Against the background of the rectangular form of the device, this format looks best, since in the XZ Premium display was still large. The only drawback of the screen is a slight distortion of color reproduction towards warm shades at maximum overview angles.
By the way, XPERIA XZ1 is running under control operating system Android 8.0 with small cosmetic supplements from Sony. The core of the device - top on this moment SNAPDRAGON 835 processor and Adreno 540 graphics accelerator 540. According to the results of Xperia XZ1 synthetic tests, quite a bit (8 thousand points in Antutu) lags behind the flagship Xperia XZ Premium. But the lag in autonomy is already more noticeable, closer to the evening from the charge of a fine 2700 mAh battery there is almost nothing.
Conclusion: Sony Xperia XZ1 is a bit improved version of the company's flagship. Yes, the smartphone has less displays permission, but it itself is almost $ 250 cheaper than the topphoneSony.
Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact
- Screen: IPS, 4.6 "HD;
- Processor: Snapdragon 835 (2.35 GHz);
- Memory: 4/32 GB;
- Camera: Basic - 19 megapixel, frontal - 8 megapixel;
- Battery: 2700 mAh.
The size of the body and the diagonal of the display of phones have been increased for several years, the fact that once considered a phable, now it is quite possible to be called a compact smartphone. But what to do if you do not like large screens and bulky corps? The answer to this question was found in Sony, the Japanese tried to make one of the most compact flagships with the highest possible functionality.
XPERIA XZ1 Compact is almost no different from Xperia XZ1 outwardly, branded proportions of the manufacturer (sharp corners, large frames) are fully observed. The only difference between the two devices is a significant reduction in the size of the case. If XPERIA XZ1 sometimes needed to intercept the second hand, then Xperia XZ1 Compact is quite comfortable to control one palm on the go.
Of course, for the sake of compactness I had to sacrifice a very important parameter - the diagonal of the display. Xperia XZ1 Compact screen has a 4.6-inch diagonal with HD resolution. Do not get upset about the last item, 1280 × 720 points look very attractive on such a small area, on the pixel density flagman Sony only slightly behind the iPhone 7. True, for the standard Android 8.0 interface, such a diagonal is still not enough, icons on the screen look very Small.
In terms of the performance of Xperia XZ1 Compact, there is little little inferior to the flagship XPERIA XZ Premium. Device is equipped with the same processor and graphic acceleratorhas the same reserve of RAM. True, his internal drive is already twice as smaller, but it is easy to expand using MicroSD cards.
The main 19-megapixel camera has a Motion Eye sensor that opens a range of new features of the smartphone. First, he knows how to shoot Slow-Mo HD video at a frequency of 960 frames per second. Secondly, the sensor automatically records moving objects in the frame and automatically removes them before you press the camera shutter button. Thirdly, Motion Eye can make 3D models of persons and objects, to scan an object, it is enough to circle a smartphone around it several times. The created model can be edited and print on a 3D printer.
Output:Xperia.Xz1Compact is a real gift for lovers of compact gadgets. The device is very convenient and practically never inferior to the other flagships of the company.
Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact

The proud status of the flagship got a Sony Xperia XZ1 - a novelty presented on IFA 2017 in Berlin. Now in the Arsenal Sony there are integer three flagship with the most topical characteristics in different weight categories: a major and already familiar Xperia XZ Premium, standard on the current dimensional dimensions of Xperia XZ1 and powerful, but compact. Very interesting to see what new smartphone It differs from its predecessors in the face of XZ and XZS models, so we will start.
Appearance and display
Yes, yes, when I first look at the Sony Xperia XZ1 smartphone, we do not see anything new, because the general concept of Loop Surface is not doing anywhere. But those cosmetic changes that are still quite enough to keep the smartphone already in their hands to understand that this is something new, although it has a family resemblance to old.
Side faces I. back cover Now is one whole element made of aluminum, which gives even more monolithic design. The front part is covered with 2.5D Glass Glass Glass 5 generation. Four body execution colors are available: black, lunar blue, warm silver and dawn pink. Sizes of smartphone 148 x 73.4 x 7.4 mm.
The lower and top face is not flat now, but a bit rounded and contain a 3.5-inch connector for connecting headphones, microphones and USB connector 3.1 Type-c. The right face contains the power button with the built-in sound control and the benefit of it in its place - above the power button, which is built in the hoax scanner of the hoops, but at the bottom there is a selected key for shooting. On the left there is a tray and slots under Nanosim card and flash drive MicroSD, or you can use two SIM cards. Also on the sides are barely noticeable rectangular inserts for signal transmission, since the body is metallic. It cannot but rejoice the presence of the protection of the case according to the IP68 standard, although now the bright accent does not make it in this company.
A 5.2-inch screen with a full HD resolution has a wide range of color gamut thanks to TRILUMINOS technology. The X-REALITY image improvement technology is preserved. The innovation was the introduction of HDR technology, which expands the dynamic range of the image, but for this you need a corresponding video content.
Smartphone camera
As the main chamber in Xperia XZ1, a familiar and well-fastened module for 19 megapixels with a Motion Eye module with its own buffer memory module for shooting video 960 frames per second is used. There is no predictive shooting, which follows the moving object and the beginner shooting before the shutter shutter. Next to the lens is a sensor block with a laser focus sensor, an infrared sensor, flash and NFC module. Optical stabilization did not appear - we have a good Steadyshot software stabilizer.
This feature is hard to call chronically necessary, for which it will want to take ones that Xperia XZ1 - fun, and only.
The frontal chamber of 13 megapixels with Light F2.0 is a completely different solution for selfie.
Technical specifications
The head of the hardware filling is still the most powerful SNAPDRAGON 835 chipset with eight computing kernels and video Adreno 540. Along with this, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of UFS memory module is used. It grips battery capacity in 2700 mAh, because even with super iron optimization and it is hardly possible to obtain a grand duration of work. The battery technologies use QNOVO and fast charging Quick Charge 3.0. For music lovers there is a whole set of improvements and two directional stereo speakers.
The good news was the application for the pre-installed new Android 8.0 Oreo from the box, which makes Xperia XZ1 one of the first devices on the market running on the fresh version of the operating system.

conclusions
According to the promises of the company, Sony Xperia XZ1 will begin already from September 19, which is pretty quickly. When the model goes to the domestic markets, it is still difficult to say, as well as the cost, which according to preliminary data will be about 700 dollars.
As you can see, Sony manifests conservatism and XPERIA XZ1 did not become some kind of breakthrough device. However, this is a good smartphone with a set of modern technologies. The Japanese giant successfully gruns his line in terms of design, which frankly leads to the rabies of some users, and at the same time admires others - there are no indifferent in the discussion. 🙂
