The Sony Xperia XZ Premium has become the show-stealer, courtesy a 960fps slow motion video that lets you capture 4-times slower than the rest of its counterparts in the market. The ‘Anti-distortion shutter’ is the real cynosure, which reduces the micro-jitters when you capture. Both of these star features are activated on Sony’s unique memory-stacked sensor. Although the slow-mo videos can be captured with the newbie Xperia XZ Premium, it can only be done at a resolution of 720p, and not 1080p.
The Sony Xperia XZ Premium is powered by Snapdragon 835 chipset, the most capable in the league so far, along with 4GB RAM and the Android Nougat 7.0 processor. On the display front, the XZ Premium has an enhanced 5.5-inch panel that supports HDR, a Triluminos display that’s 40% brighter; much, much greater than the Xperia Z5 Premium panel.
The Sony Xperia XZ Premium comes with solid protection of Gorilla Glass 5, and is waterproof. But, since it weighs around 195g, it can sink in a blink. The battery power stands at 3,230mAh with QuickCharge 3.0. Plus, the support of Qnovo Tech works by extending the battery life.
The color options are Deep-sea Black and Luminous Chrome.

The Sony Xperia XZs is an icing on the cake, equipped with Motion Eye Camera that makes for a 5.2-inch camera with 1080p resolution, and the support of Snapdragon 820 chipset with 4GB RAM.
Camera is one box of brilliance, having a 19MP sensor (1/2.3”), and lies at the back of a 25 mm (equiv.) f/2.0 lens. It is further provided with Predictive and Laser auto-focus, complemented by an RGBC-IR sensor for shots as natural as they can be. Adding on, the 4K video is a beautiful possibility here. And, the camera also sports SteadyShot 5-axis digital stabilization. The panoramic view is touted as the best-in-class; one dazzle of sorts.
The selfie shooter features a 13MP (1/3.06”) sensor with a 22mm wide-angle lens, which is also impressive.
The Sony Xperia XZs will be available on retail shelves starting from April, in color variants of Warm Silver, Ice Blue, and Black.
