Sony today announced the Xperia Z5, its flagship smartphone, which features a 4k display.
The handset relies on the same slim metal design from pervious generations of Xperia Z devices with glass on the front and back surfaces. The phone is waterproof and protects the handset from accidental spills.
The Xperia Z5 features what Sony says is “the best camera” it has ever put in a phone by speeding up autofocus to 0.03 seconds, while also improving the pixel count to 23 million. The camera features Sony’s G-Lens and uses “clear image zoom” to power 5x zooming with no loss in clarity. The camera also performs well at night and in low light thanks to a new night capture mode powered by the XMOR sensor.
Last, video includes steady shot intelligent shake reduction. Sony added a fingerprint sensor to the screen lock button, which is positioned on the right edge. The phone will be offered in a 4.7-inch screen size with all the same features. The Z5 Premium has a 5.5-inch 4K display (with upscaling for full HD content).
Sony didn’t immediate say when the Z5 Premium and Z5 Compact will go on sale. Both handsets run Android.
