5G, super-smooth display, and a beefy camera

Sony unveiled its first 5G smartphone this Sunday in a bid to revive falling smartphone business hopes. With the Xperia 1 II, Sony has invested in camera and display technology.

The phone has three rear cameras and offers users the ability to change their settings the same as in professional cameras. The device has a 6.5-inch 4K high dynamic range (HDR) display. 4K is the resolution while HDR is the technology that enhances the contrast between black and white making images look more realistic.

The Japanese giant hopes the latest device will help its mobile division especially in the new wave of new generation 5G mobile internet products. By 2025 5G technology will occupy 15% of worldwide internet connections. Sony last year saw sales drop by 16% compared to 2018.

The Xperia 1 II has three 12-megapixel rear cameras that can shoot 20fps in burst mode and can calculate autofocus up to 60 times per second. Eye autofocus has also been restored this year and even works with animals. Sony says autofocus this year covers 70% of the field of view.

To get the most out of the camera system, Sony has introduced the new Photo Pro app which joins Cinema Pro which debuted last year. This app is intended to give users more control over photography. The three rear cameras, one main, one telephoto and one super wide angle, are accompanied by a 3D ToF sensor to assist focusing.

Inside is a Snapdragon 865 processor with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage and a 4,000 mAh battery. In Europe 5G connectivity will be via Qualcomm X55 modem. The phone has IP65 and IP68 water and dust resistance certification.

Sony Xperia 5G folding is in development, will compete with Samsung Galaxy Fold

Sony Xperia 5G folding is in development, will compete with Samsung Galaxy Fold

Sony is developing a new smartphone with a folding screen to make the tablet-size screen easier to take with it, a new report says.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

The upcoming device will face rivals such as Samsung Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X.

With an OLED display, the new Xperia phone will boast support for 5G networks.

According to a new report from China, folding phone is still in the very early stages of development within the company.

Called the Xperia F, the new phone seems to brag about the 21: 9 kinematic report, which has become synonymous with the company after launching Xperia 10, Xperia 10 Plus and Xperia 1 this year.

This 21: 9 panel wide screen report makes the latest round of Sony Xperia devices much longer and faster than the competition.

As such, the folding phone is likely to be vertical rather than horizontal, as we have seen from Samsung and Huawei.

Motorola reportedly has a similar approach to Motorola’s Razrreboot, which is expected to launch in the coming months.

When the Xperia XZ2 and Xperia XZ3 were launched, they surprised with the new and more enjoyable lines that Sony had once left behind the old and monotonous smartphone models, Telegraph reports.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

The difference is not expected to be made either by the new model, which in all probability will be named Xperia XZ4, with the seemingly modern and practical working system.

Although not long since Xperia was launched, at the time of major digital changes, it is expected that Sony will continue with updates.

The Xperia XZ4 is expected to have the 21:9 display ratio, which means it is much longer and slimmer than the previous models.

According to a Sony-leaked app, it is said that this screen will be called CinemaWide. The data shows that the OLED display with 21:9 ratio will have 6.5 inches, QHD + 3360 x 1440 resolution.

These premises would make the Sony Xperia XZ4 perfect for watching movies and other outdoor and traveling material.

The Xperia XZ4 may be the first Sony Smartphone with triple rear cameras

Sony seems to have an odd attitude to their mobile business. The company continues to release phones year after year, with little attention to market expectations and impressions.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

And despite being one of the best digital makers, the company has done little to push the picture on the phones. This may change with the Xperia XZ4, which according to this latest information, will have the first three camera configurations of the company.

Unlike Google, which is able to compensate for features using smart algorithms and learning in the machine, Sony simply pays attention to improving the quality of the single camera (with controversial results). Finally, the company jumped into double rear cameras this year with Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium, but so far has remained the only device.

This may change in 2019 in many ways. Not only Xperia XA3, Xperia XA3 Ultra, and, surprisingly, the Xperia L3 is expected to have double rear cameras, we can also see Sony add another lens to the Xperia XZ4.

The information that MySmartPrice and OnLeaks have received do not go into details about the features of these cameras except what will be three of them on the back of the Xperia XZ4.

The Xperia XZ4 (or XZ4 Premium) can also be Sony’s largest phone with a 6.5-inch display that has a 21:9 aspect ratio.
