Sony Xperia XZ Dual 64 GB / 3 GB
 |
 |
A smartphone with an unusual appearance and flagship ambitions. The model stands out from the crowd of peers with a unique design that is not spoiled even by wide frames around the screen. The latter is built using IPS technology and has a FullHD resolution (1920x1080 pixels) with a diagonal of 5.2". The top-level processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 is responsible for the operation of the gadget, which is assisted by 3 GB of RAM.
Permanent memory on board the device is 64 GB, expandable by another 256 GB by installing a microSD card. An equally strong side of the Sony Xperia XZ Dual is photo and video shooting: the main 23 MP camera helps to take detailed pictures and shoot videos up to 4K, while optical stabilization is supported. The front module with a resolution of 13 MP takes high-quality selfies and can recognize faces. The body of the smartphone is protected from external influences according to the IP68 standard, and user data is protected from unauthorized access through a fingerprint scanner.
Sony has made it a rule to present flagship smartphones to the public at every well-known consumer electronics show (MWC and IFA). As part of the IFA 2016, the top representative of the Xperia line was announced — a model with the XZ index.
Unusual style
Stylish and unusual design instantly attracts the attention of others to the smartphone. Its aluminium alloy body looks like a single piece and tenaciously fits in any hand. Only large frames at the top and bottom of the screen stand out from the overall picture. The display is made of 2.5D glass, under which a proprietary IPS-matrix with FullHD resolution (1920x1080 pixels) is hidden. With a screen size of 5.2 ", there are absolutely no questions about the convenience of controlling with one hand or the readability of the picture. Especially since the brightness reserve is enough for all life situations.
Power
At the heart of the smartphone is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor typical of the entire flagship family based on Android OS. It is paired with 3 GB of RAM, turning the heaviest applications without hesitation. The power reserve of the hardware will last at least a year in advance. But the battery capacity looks somewhat underestimated for a top-end device and is 2900 mAh. In contrast to the above, it is necessary to note the effective energy-saving algorithms of Sony phones, so you hardly have to worry about the battery life.
Photo and video
An equally strong side of the Sony Xperia XZ is photo and video shooting. The main camera with an impressive 23 MP and a maximum aperture of f / 2.0 boasts ultra-fast hybrid autofocus, which catches the subject almost instantly, and the ability to record 4K movies. A 13 MP front camera takes good selfies and can recognize faces.
Flagship
A fingerprint scanner, Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0 fast charging, IP68 dust and water protection – it’s quite difficult to stop the flow of flattering words about a smartphone. And is it necessary? After all, he fully deserves them.
