Sony unveils new Xperia X handsets at MWC 2017, including a 4K model

Sony today announced four new additions to the Xperia X portfolio. The Xperia XZ Premium combines the world’s first super slow motion camera system in a smartphone with Sony’s triple image sensing (predictive hybrid autofocus, laser autofocus, RGB-IR) technology to capture amazing details beyond the human eye and enables advanced features and excellence in picture quality. Also for the first time in a smartphone, Xperia XZ Premium features a 4K HDR display for astonishing brightness, colour, clarity and contrast of users’ images, videos, games and other entertainment.  

Sony Mobile’s new Xperia XZs also a 5.2-inch screen form factor. Rounding out the new line are the mid-tier Xperia XA1 Ultra (6”) and Xperia XA1 (5”), both of which offer eye-catching design and remarkable camera technology for capturing and sharing great shots.

“Sony Mobile is passionate about driving the future of communications and creating technology that will make even the most ordinary moments, actions, and communications extraordinary,” said Kunihiko Shiomi, President of Sony Mobile Communications North America. “With our new smartphone lineup, Sony Mobile is bringing best-in-class technology in camera, design, and entertainment meant to amplify everyday life. Whether it’s capturing details beyond the human eye or simply having the best display for watching videos on the go, we want users to get excited about the life they lead without putting in more effort than they have to.”   

Sony Mobile also announced the availability for Xperia Touch, formerly called Xperia Projector, a compact short-throw projector that turns any flat surface into an interactive and collaborative touchscreen. The company has also introduced the successor to Xperia Ear™ tentatively called Xperia™ Ear "Open-style CONCEPT", a truly next generation smart audio technology concept which is next in line within the Xperia Smart Products family. Xperia Touch and Xperia Ear "Open-style CONCEPT" represent a clear demonstration of Sony Mobile’s commitment to developing new types of “smart products” that will transform how users communicate, share information and enjoy entertainment.
