Sony's Xperia Z1

Sony’s new Xperia Z1 is all about its camera. The company announced its new 5- inch waterproof Android Smartphone at the IFA in Berlin that boasts a 20.7 megapixel camera powered with the G lens.

The phone will launch in the UAE in September and should be available in time for the Gitex Shopper.

The G lens, it says, is powered by a 27mm wide angle and bright F2.0 aperture, custom made large 1/2.3-type CMOS image sensor Exmor RS for mobile with 20.7MP and a BIONZ for mobile image processing engine, thereby, enabling sharp and bright images even in lowlight conditions. 

Sony has also incorporated additional features that make the photo-taking experience more vibrant through several in-built applications such as Social Live, Info-eye, Timeshift and AR effect.

The phone is powerful enough thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor with 2.2 GHz quad-core CPU and 4G LTE

Battery life is enhanced through a 3000 mAh battery. STAMINA Mode automatically turns off functions to save power when the phone is idle.

The display features, Sony says, are enhanced through the Sony BRAVIA TV technology and incorporation of TRILUMINOS Display for mobile.
