The new members of the top echelon of the lineup of smartphones from Japanese companies have become novelties Sony Xperia XZ and Sony Xperia X Compact features. The success of the models so far, but they both have a number of interesting innovations and chips, which you still might not know, but that may appeal to potential buyers. It also once again emphasizes the company’s commitment to creating a comfortable and useful devices that have become loyal assistants in everyday life.
Of course, in terms of the main technical parameters of the hardware of smartphones has similarities with the models Xperia X and Xperia X Performance, but they take a little different position in the lineup. Now let’s analyze in order that the new implemented in the XZ and the Xperia X Compact features.
DESIGN
Looking at the news from the front, we immediately learn the Sony, but, for the most part the design has undergone drastic changes. The lower and upper sides become completely flat, but thanks to the chamfer they organically flow to the other side of the device. By the way, a new design concept called “Loop Surface” and its main purpose is the same smooth flow of one face to another, from which the device more pleasant to hold. Nevertheless, the design – it is purely a matter of taste, and you can not blame those who he “did not go”.
Housing material is also slightly changed. The Xperia XZ used ALKALEIDO ™ metal with a special treatment, allowing to achieve a certain texture of its surface and increase the depth of color. The Xperia X Compact plastic is used, however, it is not usual – with the help of special treatment manufacturers try to make it visually and tactilely like ceramics.
Unusual steel and the shades used for color smartphone body. They recreated based on various natural phenomena. Tint smartphone may vary slightly depending on how the light falls on the device.
DISPLAY
Looking at the specifications of both new products display, we will not see anything new – is well familiar 5.2-inch Full HD and 4.6-inch HD TRILUMINOS screens with technology expanding Live Colour LED color palette and Live Colour Creation makes colors more vivid without saturation image. However, there has not been no improvement! Screens new smartphones Sony Iksperiya HZ and Xperia X Compact features equipped with a powerful LCD backlight with a unique filter, which resulted in the depth of black color and contrast of the image at any angle.
CAMERA
camera sensor was the same as that of the Xperia X-models – a 23-megpikselny Sony IMX300 Exmor RS, sensor size 1 / 2.3 “, f / 2.0 aperture. The manufacturer decided to award three new items new technology sensors that will improve the quality of photos and videos.
The first technology we already know – it’s very fast camera sensor with AF tracking.
The second – the laser autofocus, which allows measuring the distance to the subject in low light or light with little contrast.
Third assistive technology – sensor RGBC-IR or simple words infrared ray sensor. It allows you to adjust the white balance and to improve the color reproduction in images, adjusting the settings according to the light source.
Optical stabilization updates do not appear, and why it is if they have a mode SteadyShot with Intelligent Active Mode Mode, which has already proved its efficiency and become even better – now the stabilization occurs in five axes, as in the company’s advanced camera.
Finally, manual mode allows you to fine-tune various parameters of shooting. Now you can manually adjust focus, adjust exposure, white balance, and exposure to pleasing appearance of tapas!
SONY XPERIA X COMPACT CAMERA
Selfies camera in Xperia XZ also not boring. This 13-megapixel 1 / 3.06-inch matrix Exmor RS (size 1 / 3.06-inch) wide-angle lens 22 MP. During daylight hours, the pictures are of excellent quality, but at a low light affects no flash.
TECHNICAL PART
In terms of iron is worth noting that both the smartphone received ports of the new format USB Type-C and are equipped with the appropriate cable. Also, for a fee, you can buy Sony UCH12W charging adapter, which will allow charging your smartphone twice as fast. For the rest, no know-how is not here – is already well known to us at hardware part.
SOFTWARE AND SYSTEM
The interface has become even more similar to the stock Android with the use of light and brisk shell Xperia Home with an interesting lock screen. Sony Mobile claim that every day becomes a smarter smartphone Xperia X Compact features because the software keeps track of user actions and thereby optimizes multiple parameters.
To save the physical life of the battery used software technologies that adapt to your routine charging and spend it more carefully:
- Qnovo Adaptive Charging – charging current control technology, extends battery life time.
- Battery Care – intuitive charging technology that your service a mode and adjusts the charging process efficient smartphone. The ultimate example of her work: left to charge overnight smartphone is charging up to 100% after the charging process stops and restarts each time to maintain this volume, there is not really useful for batteries. Battery Care technology monitors your routine and realizes how much you wake up – so it will charge the battery to 90%, and after some time prior to your awakening will resume the charging process and charge it to 100% – this is more effective and beneficial for the battery.
There was a built-in cleaning function Smart Cleaner – no longer need to install obscure cleaners and other such software. Now Xperia XZ and Xperia X Compact features themselves know what applications you are actively using and, on this basis, will automatically close all unused software will clear the cache and optimizes your smartphone unattended.
Through the use of a smartphone, Xperia Tips will be even more convenient and comfortable. Unobtrusive colorful tips will advise how to use the different functions of the smartphone more efficiently.

I would like to recall that Sony Mobile strategy focuses on the fact that smartphones have become an integral part of our lives – it is the faithful helpers in everyday matters, and not just a set of hardware and software. Therefore smartphones should be stylish and comfortable both in terms of ergonomics / design and in terms of software and technology – all that is really necessary to the user.
