Sony sells this phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 MSM8996 chip, packing a high speed 2150 megahertz Quad-Core processor with a huge 3 GB of RAM. The Sony Xperia XZ has an excellent 32 GB internal storage and a slot for an external memory card, allowing you to install lots of applications, games, pictures and videos without having to worry about filling the device.
Sony made a great job making this device weight just 5.68 oz. Sony is offering this cellphone in color 16 777 216. Talking about its materials quality, this phone is mainly built with Aluminum . While the Sony Xperia XZ is only 5.75 inches long and 2.83" wide, it still manages to contain a 5.2 inches display. The Sony Xperia XZ is incredibly thin, being just 0.32" thick.
This phone has an astonishing 5.2" display with a 1080 x 1920 (Full HD) resolution, giving this phone an amazing graphic quality.
This cellphone includes WiFi connectivity (which it can provide to other devices acting as a router), LTE-A 4G high speed connection and also HSPA+ connection type (which is a bit slower 4G technology) and fast 3G connectivity, over HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This phone uses a Nano SIM card for GSM networks.
The Sony Xperia XZ is equipped with two cameras, a 23 megapixels back camera and a 13 MP front side camera. Its back camera has an aperture of f/2 so it can take impressive photos even in poor lighting situations. This phone can also film 3840x2160 4K videos at 30 frames per second, and slow motion videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 60 frames per second (2 times slower ). This camera also counts with time lapse video.
This device comes with a big 2900 mAh non-replaceable battery providing this cellphone an incredible battery life. An issue to evaluate is that the Sony Xperia XZ's battery isn't removable so you can't change it when it begins losing capacity, though with its 2900 mAh you will probably discard this cellphone before it happens.
