XZ Premium follows the Sony monolith design aesthetics featuring a glass loop surface when turned reveals a mirrored effect on the back protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Still Water and Dust Resistant IP68. Fingerprint is still integrated with power/lock button. Xperia XZ Premium sports entertainment grade visuals with its 5.5 inch 4K HDR TRILUMINOS Display enhancedd with X-Reality Engine.
What sets XZ Premium apart is the Motion Eye™ camera system developed by Sony for capturing motion that the human eye can’t see. Other than that, it is first smartphone to feature a memory stacked Exmor™RS sensor at 19MP 1/ 2.3” found on point and shoot cameras 5 x faster image scanning and data transfer and so recording in 960 frames per second (Super slow motion) is doable. Predictive Hybrid Auto Focus and Triple image sensing technology keeps things in clear and in focus. 4K Video Recording is supported. Wew Rear camera alone has too many features but front camera 13MP 1/3.06” Exmor RS at 22mm wide angle lens is no push over either.
I am sure it will have complete set of connectivity features - WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and LTE data connection. Actually supports Gigabit Class LTE with Snapdragon X16 LTE modem. (up to 1Gbps) Makes use of USB-Type C for future proof direct connection with USB OTG support.
Carries a 3230mAh Battery with Qnovo Adaptive Charging and Quick Charge 3.0.
Other than Xperia XZ Premium, Sony also announced the Xperia XZs which brings to Motion Eye camera tech to manageable size 5.2 inch smartphone. Sports a Full HD that is housed by same loop design but with the ALKALEIDO™ metal back instead of glass. It is only powered by Snapdragon 820 with Adreno 530 GPU coupled with 4GB RAM and with storage options 32GB / 64GB Dual Sim Model. Features the same camera setup as that of XZ Premium and so for sure you will have the latest camera tech. Although it will not support gigabit LTE but it will have superior connectivity fit for flagship levels. Since it is compact, it carries a 2900mAh Battery also with Qnovo Adaptive Charging and Quick Charge 3.0.
The Sony Xperia XZs said to be out on April 5 for $700. Xperia XZ Premium said to be release this Spring yet pricing has not been disclosed.
