Sony Xperia XZ1 and Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact expand Sony's premium offer with solutions to enhance user comfort. An application that allows for a new quality of play in 3D made an impressions on us at the press conference during the IFA.
"We are aware of the importance of mobile devices in the daily lives of mobile users, so we want our new smartphones to be as powerful as possible, while providing entertainment and contact," said Hideyuki Furumi, responsible for worldwide sales and marketing of Sony Mobile Comunications.
Sony Xperia XZ1 with a 5.2-inch display and its smaller equivalent Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact (4.6 inches) run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor and Oreo Android 8.0 operating system. As Furumi emphasized, the latest Sony devices also derive from the technology used in Bravia TVs, both in image and in high definition sound. They have a Full HD HDR display, and Hi-Res Audio's high-end sound in the speakers and headphones.
This is directly linked to the proposal of peripheral solutions in the form of cordless headphones with Noise Cancelling. Interestingly, the headphones capture, clean and transmit to the user the voice of the person speaking to him, or for example (as presented live) the messages given by the speakers at the airport.

The previously mentioned capabilities of using 3D technology are: surprisingly fast rendering and creating a three-dimensional virtual face model or the entire user's head (180 or 360 degrees). The use of this feature will certainly appeal to many players and mobile application users (for example, dating).
New smartphones are also developing known from Xperia XZ Motion Eye system, which allows you to freeze the image and capture details that are invisible to the human eye while recording movies. The camera also has a smile detection function and continuous autofocus.
Like every Sony flagship, the Sony Xperia XZ1 smartphone has rounded edges and a smooth metal surface fits nicely into the palm of your hand. The smartphone is designed for active use, and its design is resistant to twisting and bending. Sony Xperia XZ1 is water and dust resistant and additionally reinforced with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on the screen. The built-in fingerprint reader automatically recognizes the user.
Smartphones are available in four colours inspired by natural light and " blue sky ". It's Black, White Silver, Horizon Blue and Twilight Pink. The colour palette of the new Sony h.ear headphones (h.ear on 2 Mini Wireless, h.ear on 2 Wireless NC and h.ear in 2 Wireless) is also harmonious with the colours of the phones.
