Sony unveils Xperia XZ and Xperia X Compact at IFA 2016

Press Release: Sony announced two new models in the Xperia X series of smartphones: the new flagship Xperia XZ, and Xperia X Compact, both of which boast an enhanced camera experience thanks to our new Triple image sensing technology. Xperia XZ will launch globally from October, while Xperia X Compact will launch globally from September.

Triple image sensing technology, our unique camera development that allows you to faithfully capture split-second moments in any environment, works by fusing the following three technologies:

  • Image sensing that boasts fast and accurate autofocus (“AF”) with exceptional object tracking, thanks to our superior image sensor which is powered by Predictive Hybrid AF to track and predict the subject’s next move
  • Distance sensing with the Laser AF sensor which enables fast and accurate AF even in low light
  • Color sensing with the RGBC-IR sensor which captures colors the way you see them, regardless of the lighting environment

The two models also deliver significant advancements in video shooting as the first smartphones with 5-axis image stabilization, enabling you to capture smoother videos, even in close-up zoom. Furthermore, they are packed with intelligent features to optimize your Xperia user experience based on how it’s used, such as Adaptive Charging technology developed with Qnovo Inc. to extend the battery lifespan. Xperia XZ features a 5.2” Full HD display and metal casing for a perfect fit in your hand. Xperia X Compact features a 4.6” HD display.
