Dear readers do not know about it, but first glance is the simplest thing that can be in the work of a journalist. It is especially not necessary to think about some deep conclusions, you don't need to bathe at all - I looked, I remembered, made some photos and told. Many years dealing with such activities, I'm a little tired. And so I had a thought to write about Sony Xperia XZ2 not the first look, and something like "questions and answers", the format is cheerful and, maybe there will be no complicated graphics, but after reading you will definitely get about gadgets impression. Flew.
Well, what is the difference between XZ2 from the XZ1?
I believe that the main thing is not new camera capabilities, not the 845th chipset and not new accessories - the main thing in the case of xz2 is a new design. What has changed? A convenient fingerprint sensor moved to the back, and the relocation passed without problems - the camera and the sensor specially separated as far as possible and therefore the finger goes down where it is necessary. The glass in the XZ2 reminds about other glass smartphones, alive Sony has its pleasant differences, they touch the assembly, the location of the elements, there is a friend of the company familiar to all the Songiba. True, something from which I had to refuse, for example, from the connector of 3.5 mm, and the users will offer the adapter from USB-C to the headphones - as practice shows, it will not be superfluous with you, I will not be too long ago on the plane Connect to Bose QC35 cable. Well still, which took care in advance and took everything you need. In short, the XZ2 does not have a 3.5 mm connector, but the memory card, the ability to use two SIM cards, all it remains.
For a smartphone made four colors, glossy black looks great, green I saw only in the pictures, pink is good, silver as silver. As always, buy mainly black (fifty percent), others, consider interest to ten. If you just take and list all the differences of the XZ2 from the XZ, it turns out such a picture: another design, another chipset, the camera has received new features, a wireless charging is supported, a new accessories set, a new XZ2 Compact in addition to a large device.
What is there with the camera?
The camera here is the same as XZ1, but with a number of improvements, for example, a 4K HDR video is supported, and then what is called True HDR (HEVC 10 Bit HLG BT.2020), it means that the video will be very and very good In terms of depth, color, dynamic range. Another ISP (Image Signal Processor) is designed together with Qualcomm, if you try to explain on your fingers, then the XZ2 camera has its own, dedicated processor, it is used by photo or video recording - the capabilities of the 845th chipset for it enough with interest. As they say, as a result, the best quality photos are obtained. The slow motion is now in FullHD, 3D scanning is improved, 3D-calf appeared, it is gratifying that the company does not forget those technologies that forcing half a year ago. Examples of pictures and other joys will try to show you as soon as possible.
Frames, I look, and remained?
The device is quite in the spirit of modern trends, I am personally glad that I didn't make experiments - Galaxy lovers would still not approve Sony, iPhone lovers hardly return, and should not even ask me, you need to try or not - those who year after year Buy Sony, you will be happy to the transition to the modern appearance of the most important gadget in life. You understand that the smartphone accompanies us everywhere and this is the main gadget, no matter how cool. Green Sony Xperia XZ2, glass, with small frames, with minimal cheating in the OS - it's good and even if you are not sonica, you should twist in the store. I understand not the most authority in the question of choosing a smartphone - Eplo.B and Sony.B, so I'm waiting for XZ2 soon for experiments.
Well, what's the display?
So, 5.7 inches, FHD, there is support for HDR, apscale SDR almost to HDR, it will help when viewing the content downloaded from the content network is not particularly good quality. It seems to be an infined scenario, but even the old Soviet films will look better. Aspect ratio 18: 9, quietly quietly, I know everything you say now, but do not rush. Normal screen, especially considering that inside the 845th chipset. I think this year later will also show the device with some mega-display, well, while it is quite possible to live with Sony Xperia XZ2.
What is inside?
Everything is as expected, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845. How is it heats up or does not warm, I do not know yet. I know that the 854th is the only correct chipset for 2018 and there is nothing wrong with anything bad, even without any questions. Well, another 4 GB random access memory, 64 go memory for data as far as I understand, all versions of the smartphone will support two SIM cards, or you can stick one SIM card and memory card.
And what, Xperia is still rebooted if you insert a SIM card?
Yes, there is such a thing - and if you put two cards, then the reboot will occur twice.
What about wireless charging?
Separately, a very interesting accessory with active cooling will be sold, the XZ2 battery can be fully charged for a half - two hours, and the battery inside is quite OK, 3180 mAh. Moreover, put charging you can vertically or horizontally, the removable site has its own contact and light indicator.
By the way, how is Xperia's corporate design called now?
Since Sony Xperia Z (it was in 2013), I changed at least one generation of design, I was "Omni Balance", now the design of the XZ2 is called Ambient Flow, how to translate it into Russian, I do not know. With the XZ2, I liked the twist smartphone in the palm of your hand, it is smooth as pebbles in the sea. Metal in the case is also there, the frame here is made of aluminum, glass - Gorilla Glass 5.
What other are chips?
Both SIM cards are able to Volte (voice transmission by LTE), download speed - the maximum possible (LTE Cat18 to 1.2 GB \\ s), you can put the memory card maximally, from the main chips - Dynamic Vibration System, at the bottom of the left is the powerful engine when Listen to music or play (or something else) it will be as if to print the heat, strengthening sensations. Type "Teptic Enin", but also for content. Like other Xperia flagships, there is protection against water according to IP65 / IP68 /
Probably Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact deliberately worsened?
Here is the same aluminum frame, instead of glass from the back, plastic is used, the colors are very good, especially black, I will not talk about similar with the iPhone 7 Jet Black. The compact version does not have a Dynamic Vibration System, no wireless charging, not such steep LTE capabilities (LTE Cat15 to 950 GB \\ s, works on both sims), because due to the size of the case, an antenna is arranged otherwise. The rest of the smartphone deserves a high rank of a "small flagship"; The chipset is the same, the camera is similar.
Here you still have pictures of pink.
When will the smartphone be on sale?
I assume that the XZ2 and the compact version will appear on sale in the spring of this year, again I assume that price sony Xperia XZ2 will be about 55,500 rubles, the Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact will ask about 42600 rubles. The delivery set is still unknown.
Surely with Xperia XZ2 will come out a bunch of new accessories?
Fast wireless charging with active cooling is not a sin and buy for an iPhone or other android, there will still be wired and wireless open headphones with an interesting idea, an inexpensive Bluetooth headset, naturally, original covers For xz2. We will tell about all things separately, they deserve it.
Would you bought Sony Xperia XZ2 myself?
I go with an iPhone and things with Android I use how the second phone for different tasks is undoubtedly waiting for Sony Xperia XZ2 on sale and really want to go with the Sony Xperia XZ Premium - the framework is already very hard.
We will try to prepare a video about the smartphone, get, notice, understand what and how to tell you more details. Chao!
The Sony Xperia C smartphone released in 2013 quickly gained popularity among potential users due to the successful ratio of three factors - price, quality and specifications that often combine in the smartphone is difficult.
This unit has a 5-inch QHD display and works on a 4-core MediaTek chip and this allows it to cope with all the necessary tasks. But this article will discuss the 8-megapixel chamber with the Exmor R sensor, or rather its some unique features that are present only in this device and you will not find them in other ruler smartphones.
The first interesting mode is called "Self-Portrait Voice Guide" or "Voice Drive Creating Aviation", and the second is called "Portrait Retouch" or "Portrait Retouch". Thanks to the XperiaBlog resource, we tell you a little, which are each of the modes and what can you like it.
Camera settings menuSony Xperia C.
In the screenshot, the smartphone cameras are presented below and how you see, there are functions in it. The above mentioned and as already mentioned, we have not seen them on other phones.
This camera mode allows you to conveniently make portrait pictures using the main chamber, and will help it voice assistantwhich will report whether you fall into the frame. By selecting this feature, as well as specifying the type of image "MySelf" (yourself), "pair" (pair snapshot), "Close Pair" (close pair snapshot) on the screen will appear silhouettes and actually you should get during shooting. A nice female voice will indicate "Do not hesitate, let me see you" and means that you need to send the camera to yourself to be the center of attention. After that, if you did not fall into the silhouettes, the guide will constantly give instructions, which way to shift the smartphone. After your alignment with silhouettes, the snapshot will be made automatically. According to the users of the tests of the "Self-Portrait Voice Guide", the mode works just perfectly and we are surprised why it did not appear in the rest of the smartphones.
Mode"Portrait retouching”
This feature is also mentioned in Sony as "beauty mode". When using this function, the effects will be added to your photos, smoothing and cleaner wrinkles will be added. According to the manufacturer, the camera application with this mode will soon be released for Sony Xperia smartphones. By the way, the portrait retouch has been announced in the list of applications of the new mid-class smartphone Sony Xperia T2 Ultra. Experiment with various styles and view real-time changes before making a photo.
Sony Xperia XZ2 and XPERIA XZ2 Compact is a new design, good technical characteristics and waterproof. In addition, Sony Xperia XZ2 has a wireless charging, and the younger version Compact Sony Writing a 5-inch screen into a compact case.
New smartphones from Sony, which are called Xperia XZ2 and XPERIA XZ2 Compact, look cool and, according to the results of the first practical testing, produced a very good impression on us. In terms of processor performance, this Sony-smartphone model competes with Galaxy S9, but it remains in question - whether the camera will be quite convincingly and in twilight lighting. The XZ2 Compact in its class remains currently out of competition and should bring the delight of compact mobile phones. Dignity
Disadvantages of beautiful design
excellent performance
waterproof
good camera no headphone audio
XZ2 Compact without a power supply for quick charging and without a wireless charging function XPERIA XZ2 and XPERIA XZ2 Compact from Sony with a new design
Sony in its XPERIA XZ2 and XZ2 Compact finally says goodbye to the wide-friendly framework on the upper and lower sorons. In conditions when increasing screens are trying to fit into increasingly compact buildings, the Japanese electronics manufacturer to the last resisted, remaining almost the only one in recent years who did not follow this language Design.
But now Sony Mobile wants to update in this regard, says goodbye to the usual charm and instead wants to use a new design: the concept of Xperia XZ2 and XPERIA XZ2 is called "Ambient Flow" with streamlined forms. It resembles the design of HTC U11 Plus. By the way, the "natural" comparison is Samsung, for example, has once used for its Galaxy S3 for its Galaxy S3. But all new is well forgotten old. I liked the result in any case, since Xperia XZ2 and XPERIA XZ2 Compact and look cool, and in the hand lie very well. Special praise deserves XZ2 Compact - it is simply ingenious how small and convenient can be a mobile phone with a 5-inch display. Model bigger size With its 5.7-inch LC-screen offers enough space to please, including lovers of multimedia content. Galaxy S9 has similar dimensions. For improved "one hand" management, you only need to make a swipe on the lower software bar, after which the system reduces the image size and shifts the content in the left or right lower angle - everything turns out to be intuitive. In Xperia XZ2, Sony places Gorilla Glas 5 on the front and rear sides, which looks very elegant, but makes noticeable fingerprints. No less elegant matte XPERIA XZ2 Compact, for the manufacture of which Sony used plastic. But it does not upset us, since the compact model looks very good. More annoying we find the gap formed on the transition from the display to the frame. But there is a possibility that serial models Will be collected better. At the same time both mobile phone are waterproof in accordance with IP-68 standards.
Fingerprint scanner at Xperia XZ2 on the back
According to Sony, the XZ2 smartphone offers a 13 percent of a large area of \u200b\u200bthe image than Xperia XZ1, despite the fact that it is 1 mm thinner. Both new models can boast the modern aspect ratio of 18: 9 and display content in the appropriately advanced Full-HD resolution of 2160x1080 pixels, which is also called FHD +. Even higher image clarity Most users did not perceive anyway with a naked eye. Only when using VR glasses permission can never be too large. In this area, Galaxy S9 will be ahead of the competitors. Some regret of users who are adherents of classics can cause the fact that the fingerprint scanner is now, as in many competitors, is located on the back side of the case, and not on the side of the on-shutdown button. Regret because it functioned there the best way And remained almost imperceptible. In addition, the central location of the XPERIA XZ2 scanner during the first check seemed to us unusual and requiring some adaptation period, but not problematic. According to Sony, it is located on the place where users put their finger in most cases when they take the phone in hand.
Snapdragon 845: Mighty force in Xperia XZ2 (Compact)
Xperia XZ2 & XZ2 Compact is among the first smartphones that enter the market with the latest and extremely productive mobile processor from Qualcomm, received the name Snapdragon 845. According to Sony, in comparison with the predecessor, Snapdragon 835, it is 30 percent larger than 30 percent Power in efficiency raised by 20 percent. The size of the RAM is 4 GB - it is not extremely much, but according to our estimates it is enough for top models. Thus, you get a very fast system with a large productivity reserve, which should be enough for the coming years. Xperia XZ2 Compact, apparently, it turns out not only the most compact out of 5-inch smartphones, but also most powerful. Despite convenient dimensions, you do not have to go on any compromises in terms of equipment. The battery with its capacity of 2870 ma * h seems to us too decent. The usual XZ2, which, due to the larger screen, received a large capacity of 3180 mAh, can offer a little more in this regard.
Improved camera - and during twilight lighting too?
Sony not only provided the appearance of new functionality Cameras, but also want to improve the quality of photos. In daytime illumination conditions, users can rejoice at high 19 megapixel resolution, which allows to obtain high details of the scenes removable. Can the matrix compare with competitors also during twilight lighting, should show the results of our full testing. Since Sony continues to use rather small pixels with a size of 1.22 microns, as well as not too much a diaphragm F / 2.2, which reduces the amount of light on the matrix, and also, as before, refuses to integrate an optical image stabilizer, we are customized carefully skeptically. The fact is that the predecessors during tests during twilight lighting often demonstrated disadvantages. Nevertheless, as it was said, Sony has been engaged in developing a signal processing from a matrix in conjunction with Qualcomm, making it better than in the preceding models. But in terms of video, the camera, on the contrary, should show itself well what she did already on the XZ1.
Supermanized video in full-HD resolution optimized manufacturer and maximum resolutionAvailable in its shooting mode of supermaned video. Now you can shoot even in Full-HD-resolution at a speed of 960 frames per second to obtain extremely slow videos. The preceding model, as well as Galaxy S9, do it only in HD, that is, 720r. However, the duration of the clip at the same time has now become even less. If earlier it was short 0.184 seconds, which stretched up to 6 seconds during playback, then only half of these values \u200b\u200bremain. In addition, the camera has the ability to shoot videos also in 4K and HDR, and according to Sony data supports a 10-bit color depth and an extremely wide color space BT.2020. It is cool, but it is necessary to admit that in the "consumer" segment there are hardly devices to fully display BT.2020. Even in the field of UHD TVs, somewhat smaller is common (although still in itself large) DCI-P3 color space. However, glad videos with saturated colors Still, you can.
No audio connections for headphones
Unfortunately, Sony has now joined the ranks of manufacturers who abandoned the use of a 3.5-mm audio jack for connecting cable headphones. The package includes a suitable adapter, but it does not allow you to listen to music at the same time and recharge the smartphone. To whom it needs it, he can acquire a special adapter that is in the Sony assortment. Also from innovations, you can note the support of wireless charging, but only for large Xperia XZ2, not for the compact model. For the corresponding wCh20 charging station with a power of 9 W Manufacturer asks about 4500 rubles - that is, it turns out even more expensive than Qi-pad in Apple stores. And even more so such a price looks like a brutal against the background of analogues from Chinese stores.
Xperia xz2 chic, fast, but expensive
Xperia XZ2 can download data from mobile Internetif the LTE networks are someday allowed with extreme high speed - 1.2 Gbps, and XZ2 Compact - 800 Mbps. Both devices can boast the availability of the current Bluetooth 5 standard, as well as quick WLAN-AC. Not here and without a micro-SD / Dual-SIM slot, as well as the port of USB 3.1 TYP-C. Unlike Galaxy S9, new phones Sony. And on the second SIM card support Voice-Over-LTE for improved voice transmission.
The Xperia XZ2 package includes a fast charging unit of the UCH12, and the compact model is sold, unfortunately, with a weaker and non-supporting fast operation of the Uch20 power supply, despite the fact that the smartphone itself supports this technology. It is a pity, in fact, it would not be worth saving. Both devices work under android management 8. Xperia XZ2 in the face of a 64-gigabyte version with the colors of "Liquid Black", "Liquid Silver", "Deep Green" and "Ash Pink" should enroll in open sale at the beginning of the second quarter. Xperia XZ2 Compact with 64 GB of internal memory can already be taken in spring in the colors of "Black", "White Silver", "Moss Green" and "Coral Pink". What would you choose?

Best Qualcomm Mobile Processors
One of the most notable innovations of Sony Xperia XZ is the transformed image of a smartphone. While appearance It also gives small reasons for the soldier, Sony Xperia XZ looks significantly more elegant. Metal surfaces Passed processing special methodscreating a real three-dimension effect.
It becomes particularly noticeable in the new color, which was called "Forest Blue". The rounding of the edges of the smartphone is expressed very much, partly it affects the side of the display. You can even think that the Edge display is installed here, like Samsung. The case meets the requirements of the IP68 standard and guarantees waterproof for half an hour at a depth to half a meter. Also, for the first time, Sony sets on his smartphone uSB port TYP-C.
The display has a diagonal of 5.2 inches and a resolution of 1920x1080 points, and the pixel density at Sony Xperia XZ reaches 428 PPI. During test measurements, the results were as follows: The maximum brightness is 538 kD / m2, and the contrast - 122: 1.
Sony Xperia XZ: Top Camera Equipment
How it became typical of Sony's flagship smartphones, a 23 megapixel camera is on board the device. For the most part, it corresponds to the characteristics of Sony Xperia X and Sony Xperia X Performance cameras. However, with more close examination, differences are detected: in particular, a laser autofocus has been added here, which makes it much faster to bring sharpness when shooting objects located at a distance of 2 meters from the lens.
In addition, in its new flagship model, Sony has installed a RGB sensor that helps more accurately determine the white balance and must ensure the increased color reproduction accuracy in the photos. The predicative autofocus remains on the spot, which tracks moving objects and, thus, can determine the optimal point of focus.
The results of the camera, although they are very good, but they will not attribute them to the top level. Pretty many rating points Sony Xperia XZ lost due to the quality of photographs made in the dark. However, even during daytime shooting it is noticeable that there is not enough sharpness on the edges of the frame. The main camera is capable of writing video in 4K format. The sound of Xperia XZ is recorded at two microphones, the digital noise reduction system should be cut off outsided sounds.
Sony has also improved photo and video stabilization of the image. At the time, the inclined and rotational oscillations were quite well and Xperia X, Xperia XZ could calculate extra movements along the X and Y axes. In addition, data and from the smartphone gyroscope are used. Front-camera Also turned out interesting. In addition to laser autofocus and RGB sensor, it has the same lens and image stabilization technology as the main camera. The resolution is as many as 13 MPIXs. Frontal flare The smartphone does not have.
Sony Xperia XZ: Numerous software tweaks
By technical specifications In comparison with Xperia X Performance, a novelty has not so much differences. But in the plan software Sony has tried to fame. In particular, the manufacturer presented new technology Charging Xperia XZ, which was named Qnovo. It works as follows.
To charging you put your phone in the evening. Thanks to the Quick Charge technology, the power supply unit quickly brings the level of energy reserve to 90 percent and holds this degree of battery availability. The last 10 percent is replenished immediately before you wake up in the morning. Thus, the recharge of the battery is prevented, which, according to representatives of Sony, should significantly increase battery life.
Although XZ supports the Quick CHARGE technology, the corresponding power supply in the delivery kit is not available. Therefore, the smartphone needs good 162 minutes to fully charge the battery. Duration of time autonomous work Online when conducting test tests, Xperia XZ accounted for more than eight hours.
Also on board there are such small software "chips" like Cache Cleaner. Generally user interface Sony based on Android 6.0 looks neatly as before. The system reacts promptly and works quickly.
Sony Xperia XZ: Alternative
Smartphone Xperia. XZ is convincing in all respects. However, due to such a small disadvantage, as the lack of power supply for Quick Charge technology, Sony has to be content with only the 3rd place in our rating of smartphones.
Another spoon of tar is the cost of the device. About 50,000 rubles requires a manufacturer at the start of sales. Samsung Galaxy S7 is significantly cheaper. This top smartphone currently costs about 40,000 rubles, but it is significantly better. In addition, during the test, he also demonstrated high performance, and its design is elegant.

The current update of the Sony smartphone line could be called boring and frankly unpleasant: almost nothing has changed in the appearance of devices, and there is exactly the same thing that we have seen a little earlier, in. But instead of the next listing technical characteristics And focusing on gigabytes, megapixels and gigahertz, the company decided to focus on the capabilities of the built-in camera. It is unlikely that sofa analysts and network experts - all-issues approve such an approach, but the market always perceives it positively. No one knows exactly what frequency the processor in, but everyone knows that this smartphone can be unlocked by the face, and you can also send an animated chicken to your friend. So Sony wants Xperia XZ1 to be perceived as a phone that allows you to create 3D copies of objects using a built-in camera. As far as it is interesting and important - it will show time, and we will just figure it out how it all works.
Together with the release of XPERIA XZ1, the company has updated the compact version of the flagship. It is called Xperia XZ1 Compact and still remains a unique device due to the combination of flagship filling and compact sizes. So, the possibilities for alternatively use the built-in camera in both updates are similar, but we will tell you about them separately.

Appearance, Ergonomics and Software
In the case of Xperia XZ1, I would like to note some indicative ignoring global trends. Here's serious: Sony remains almost the only manufacturer who does not use either elongated screens with the aspect ratio of 18: 9, nor double chambers nor face recognition feature. Maybe it's not too great in the long run, but on this moment XZ1 does not suffer from this completely and looks very neat and pretty. Smartphone is offered in four colors: pink, black, silver and blue. In my opinion, the last two are especially good, but the black looks boring.
The screen diagonal is small by the standards of the flagships of 2017 - only 5.2 inches, so no problems with the control of one hand do not occur. The hull profile has an elongated elliptical shape, the side faces are perfectly rounded, and all this, of course, is made of glass and metal. Plastic applies only for some buttons and plugs on the compartment for the SIM card. By the way, the plug adjacent is very tight, there is a special rubber gasket around the perimeter - the smartphone is protected from dust and moisture according to IP65 / IP68 standards. It can be immersed in fresh water, but the guarantee on the submool smartphones does not apply - have this in mind. However, the main thing is that you need to remember: in no case connect headphones and chargeruntil the ports were dried.
The location of the buttons and controls are standard for Sony smartphones. Downstairs in the center is USB-C, there is a tray for the SIM card and microSD on the left face. In our case, the smartphone has only one slot for the operator card, but also there is a version of DUAL SIM, it has a second slot. On the right sidewall there is a double volume control button, as well as a power key with a built-in print scanner and a dedicated button to start the camera and shutting the shutter.
From above there is a standard 3.5-millimeter audio jack - here thanks for which it is still relevant. I will add that in the side of the sides are visible inserts to ensure the operation of wireless modules through a metal case, they are not very highlighted, but perform their function in the best possible way. I have not been lazy and compared: Xperia XZ1 "Holds" the network and wi-Fi signal It is much better than the iPhone 7 Plus.
Returning to the topic of the large similarity of Xperia XZ1 and it is worth noting that the LED flash and the laser that helps automatic focus is now installed behind the horizontal insert, in the previous model, this unit was located vertically. The built-in camera lens slightly increased in size and has become stronger than the rear panel. But while it is impossible to do anything about it - optics with stabilization requires a fairly thick building.

Sony Xperia XZ1 was originally announced with Android 8.0 Oreo and the same and supplied with him. Formally, by the way, this is the first smartphone based on the eighth version. operating system Along with Xperia XZ1 Compact. Visually, the new OS is not very different from version 7.0 Nougat, however, the update to the current OS is the problem of many Android devices, and Sony in this regard immediately took care of the fresh system for its flagship. All chips from other devices in place: power saving modes, work optimization, and so on.

The list of preset applications looks like an old: Movie Creator, PlayStation, Xperia Lounge Plus file manager and all standard applications Google. There is exactly one new application - 3D Creator, I will tell about it in more detail below.
Display and sound
Previously, in the case of SONY smartphones, we often had to complain about not enough accurate screens settings, to excessively (even if compared with the "middle temperature in the hospital", and not with reference values) an overwhelmed color temperature and not enough contrast. But XPERIA XZ1 demonstrates obvious progress in this area.
First, Sony simply stopped imposing an unlightened improved display mode by providing the user selection. Now there are three modes in the display settings menu: professional, standard and limit brightness mode.

If you focus on subjective sensations, then the latter is most impressive, but the accuracy of color reproduction "flies" into the abyss. By default, the standard mode is enabled, and for the most accurate mapping there is a professional, so we spent all the measurements in these two modes.
The maximum values \u200b\u200bof brightness and contrast do not change when switching modes, and they turn out to be very good in comparison with competitors. The XZ1 display "shines" is brighter than in the iPhone 8, which means that this smartphone will be more comfortable to use in sunny weather - you can even even read from the screen on the beach.
Standard screen operation Sony Xperia XZ1 screen, color temperature. Blue line - Sony Xperia XZ1 coverage in standard mode, dotted line - reference temperature (6500 K)
As can be seen, in professional mode, color coverage practically coincides with the SRGB color space, and in the standard it becomes much wider. But this is not the case when more - it means better. Color temperature curve slightly varies in different modesBut the average value remains unchanged - about 7400 K. It is higher than the reference temperature, but the difference of 900 K is practically not felt.
Gamma varies slightly: we have 2.11 in professional mode and 2.05 - in the standard one. Both do not go beyond the norm. The average deviation of Deltae on the extended ColorChecker palette is 3.36, and the main colors - 1.78. And it is just a chic indicator. But only applies to professional regime, in the standard this figure is somewhat deteriorated and reaches 4.81 via the extended ColorChecker palette and 4.11 by primary colors.
With sound full order. First, the smartphone is equipped with two speakers and reproduces sound in stereo mode, and quite loud. And secondly, he did not lose the standard mini jack, so you can use absolutely any headphones without restrictions. The sound is loud and high-quality, even high-level monitor models work normally.
