Sony has announced its latest Waterproof Smartphone from its series of Xperia device at IFA in Berlin, dubbed the Sony Xperia Z1. The new device is not only waterproof, but it also dust resistant, the device comes with a built-in camera that combines the performance of Sony’s award-winning “G Lens”, large 1/2.3-type 20.7MP “Exmor RS for mobile” CMOS image sensor and “BIONZ for mobile” image processing engine.
The Sony Xperia Z1 comes equipped with a 5-inch large screen with a 1980×1080 resolution, backed by Sony’s TRILUMINOS Display for mobile and X-Reality for mobile. The Xperia Z1 is powered by a 2.2 GHz Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor, an Adreno 330 GPU, 16GB of internal storage and 2GB of RAM.
The main camera features a 20.7-megapixel sensor and features Sony’s award-winning “G Lens” with a 27mm wide angle and bright F2.0 aperture, custom made large 1/2.3-type CMOS image sensor Exmor RS for mobile.
“Xperia Z1 represents a significant milestone for Sony in our continued efforts to deliver unforgettable experiences to our consumers,” said Kunimasa Suzuki, President and CEO, Sony Mobile Communications. “Not only by bringing the power of Sony to the smartphone and through close collaboration with our partners but by setting a new standard in premium smartphones.”
Xperia Z1 takes the conventional camera experience to a whole new level by including an innovative set of Xperia Camera Applications that deliver new experiences. Applications at launch include:
Social live: Broadcast precious moments live from Xperia Z1 to Facebook and get your friends’ comments right on your screen.
Info-eye™: Innovative visual search function that provides related information on landmarks and on items such as books or wine simply by capturing them with the camera.
Timeshift burst: Capture the perfect shot every time – Xperia Z1 takes 61 images in 2 seconds – a second before and after pressing the shutter – so you can scroll back and forth to find the perfect image.
AR effect: Overlay a selection of fun, customizable animations to create pictures using Sony’s SmartARTM augmented reality technology.
Sony plans to start selling the Xperia Z1 later this month, and it will be available in the colors of Black, Purple, and White.
