All the brands that operate in the sector of smartphones are focusing all their equipment on the same characteristics: screen with maximum elimination of edges; many of them even bet on including —some with more success than others— the popular “notch”; and of course, you cannot miss the double camera - triple in some cases - on the back. Sony was one of those that had not yet launched any equipment on the market with this feature. However, today the first smartphone with double rear sensor: the Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium.
But, be careful, not only will we have one more mobile with a double sensor, but its technical characteristics also predict good performance. Great high resolution display; chassis resistant to all; good battery capacity and large amount of RAM. These are some of the keys to the latest Sony presentation.
4K display, although it still chooses to include too many frames
Sony seems to want to continue betting on having its own hallmark and forgetting designs that remind other teams of the competition. Of course, this will make us continue to see a somewhat more traditional design than what other brands offer. That is, we will have a design with many frames on the front. Although, be careful, this does not mean that we do not like its finish: the lines are quite smooth and the corners are rounded.
Even so, the Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium enjoys a 5,8-inch diagonal screen with 4K resolution, one of the characteristics with which you want to attract the attention of the public. In addition, the user can choose this mobile in two tones: chrome black or chrome gray.
Raw power inside betting on the latest from Qualcomm
If you want to be able to measure yourself with the latest high-end smartphones in the sector, you must take a risk and include the latest in hardware of the moment. And we believe that Sony in this regard has done well. First of all, the first thing that stands out is its processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, the latest beast of the company that will allow you to talk from you to you to other terminals of the moment.
To this chip we must add a 6GB RAM, a storage capacity of 64 GB - Sony neglects drives with less capacity. And it also gives the possibility of using MicroSD memory cards of up to 400 GB, almost nothing. With all these data, surely you are thinking that the latest generation video games are waiting for this mobile. And so it will be.
Dual camera and front camera with good resolution
As we mentioned at the beginning, Sony had to - yes or yes - introduce a model on the market with this feature. And if during the past MWC did not appear, we have had to wait almost a month and a half more to see it. The Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium, It will have a double rear sensor: a 19-megapixel one and a 12-megapixel monochrome one. In turn, you can record videos in 4K resolution or enjoy capturing clips in slow motion. The latter in both Full HD and HD. We also highlight that photographs with background blur - the coveted bokeh effect - can be achieved in full color or in black and white.
As for the chamber in charge of the popular selfies or for you to keep video calls, it has a sensor that reaches 13 megapixels. What's more, you will have flash available for when the scenes are not accompanied in lighting.
Water resistant, high-capacity battery and state-of-the-art Android
Regarding the durability of this model, Sony has seen fit to confer an IP68 resistance certificate. This means that it will withstand both possible dust ingress into circuits as well as resistance to water. While, The battery that accompanies this Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium reaches 3.450 milliamps capacity. This should translate into autonomy that extends beyond the entire working day.
Last but not least in the latest generation mobiles is being able to enjoy the latest version of the platform to which they belong. Since its inception Android has been the alternative. And in this case the Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium bets on Android 8.0 Oreo.
The arrival of this mobile to markets around the world is scheduled for this next summer 2018. Of course, the price at which we can find it has not yet been revealed. Although knowing that his brother who does not have the surname "Premium" costs 799 euros, we can imagine that his starting price will be higher.
