Singapore, 2nd
September 2015 – Sony
Mobile Communications (“Sony Mobile”) today unveiled its next-generation Xperia Z5 and
Xperia Z5 Compact, and the world’s first 4K smartphone Xperia Z5 Premium – each engineered to make everyday experiences
better.
"Smartphones are part of
people’s lives” said Hiroki Totoki, President and CEO at Sony Mobile
Communications. ”Since users already create, share and enjoy most of their
content on the go - we’ve set out to bring Sony’s latest innovations in camera, design and display to ensure the Xperia Z5 series
is the best possible lifestyle and entertainment platform.”
A
mobile camera experience unlike any other
Xperia
Z5 features Sony’s brand new large 1/2.3 Exmor RSTM for mobile 23MP
sensor and F2.0 G Lens - it’s
Sony’s first completely re-imagined smartphone camera module since Xperia Z1,
designed with Sony’s interchangeable lens
camera αTM technology for clear, vivid imagery every time.
The
camera is capable of the fastest autofocus in a smartphone, a powerful blend of
speed and accuracy to capture split-second moments with ease. It delivers a
ground-breaking speed of just 0.03 seconds - faster than the blink
of a human eye (average 0.1 - 0.4 s), so whether you’re jumping for the frisbee
in the park, diving into the pool or catching air on the vert ramp, you’ll have
the power to preserve spontaneous action in real-time.
A
combination of the large 23MP Exmor RSTM for mobile sensor and advanced
processing software lets you get close to subjects; whether it be a landmark,
architecture or other objects of interest, with 5x clear image zoom with
minimum loss of quality. And, advancements
in low-light photography mean you can capture clearer photos at night or in darker
surroundings with less noise and blur - perfect for capturing a sunrise or
night skyline.
With the continued popularity
of content capture for social media, Xperia Z5 series brings significant advancements
in the evolution of Sony’s SteadyShotTM with Intelligent Active Mode
for video. Further improvements mean you’ll be able to continuously capture
action smoothly, such as riding a bike or skateboard, free from jolts or
shudders. It also features better low-light performance without blur.
Designed for life,
with the same flagship experiences in a choice of form factor
Designed by leading creatives at Sony’s Creative
Center studios in Sweden and Japan, Xperia Z5 presents a svelte continuous plate
form, with a metal frame and frosted glass back. It’s striking, comfortable to
hold and waterproof for
everyday convenience. With a 5.2” display, sleek looks and Fall 2015 fashion
and interior design cues, colours range from elegant to expressive for any
personal style or taste; White, Graphite Black, Gold and Green.
For those who prefer a compact
smartphone, Xperia Z5 Compact brings the same great camera technology and features
in a pocket-friendly compact device. It delivers uncompromised performance in a
beautifully compact design with a 4.6” display, perfect for one-handed use. And,
Z5 Compact let’s you express personal style with fresh, vibrant colours
including Yellow and Coral, in addition to White and Graphite Black.
Both devices represent iconic Sony
craftsmanship with premium materials throughout, including
frosted glass finishing to the rear and a subtly etched Xperia logo side
engraving, as well as capless USB for quick efficient connection and charging.
To the side, a new integrated fingerprint sensor power
button means each device is personal, protected and easily unlockable with a
simple pick up and press in one natural movement. It will also support the FIDO
standard; authentication via fingerprint for online payment services - with
news on first partners shared closer to launch.
Powerful
performance that meets demands
Xperia Z5 and Xperia Z5 Compact are powered by the Qualcomm
Snapdragon 810 processor, featuring octa-core
CPUs, 64 bit capabilities and ultra-fast 4G LTE speeds, letting you reach new
levels of performance for video, photography and gaming. Whether you’re multi-tasking over Wi-Fi or the latest 4G network, both
devices deliver the speed you need. Download email with attachments in seconds
and enjoy video streaming with no delays or unwanted buffering.
Powerful smartphone features demand smart power
management, Xperia Z5 and Xperia Z5 Compact are equipped with Sony’s
incredible up to two-day battery stamina and innovative
power-saving technology, which gives you superior long-lasting battery
performance. With Qualcomm® Quick Charge™ 2.0 enabled on the new devices, you
can get 5.5 hours usage with just 10 minutes of charging with a certified Quick
Charge™ 2.0 charger, such as the Quick Charger UCH10 (dependant on market variants).
Sony’s 4K leadership
now in a mobile device – Xperia Z5 Premium, the world’s first 4K smartphone
Xperia Z5 Premium is the world’s first 4K smartphone
with a sharp, vivid
5.5” 4K TRILUMINOS™ Display for mobile and IPS,
where breathtaking detail is depicted with pinpoint accuracy for the most
natural images, at four times the resolution of Full HD.
Xperia Z5 Premium will upscale
your favourite content to 4K, enhancing any native or third party videos or
photos so you can view Netflix, YouTube or your holiday shots in rich, vibrant
4K detail. And, Xperia Z5 Premium is built to allow you to get creative by
capturing in 4K and immediately enjoying the content on Z5 Premium, with the
option of preserving any moment as an 8MP quality image.
And,
why not port the memory card from Sony’s 4K Action Cam FDR-X1000V to Xperia Z5
Premium to enjoy your footage immediately - or simply connect to the big screen
either wirelessly via DLNA or with MHL 3.0 to enjoy your content on a 4K TV.
Xperia Z5 Premium is designed from the ground up as a
high-performance mobile device, also powered by the Snapdragon 810 processor. A
high capacity 3430 mAh battery lasting for up to two days, with quick charge
capability eliminates the need for regular charging.
Xperia Z5 Premium features a large 32GB internal
memory, with the capability to take a 200GB external microSD card, which offers
extra room for 4K videos and movies, and images too. Xperia Z5 Premium also
features Sony’s innovative memory on display feature - the data transfer
between processor and device is optimized so Xperia Z5’s display memory
technology remembers the display of images seen on your smartphone and caches
the image or video so that you don’t need to reload the full image each time
you view it - preserving battery power in the process.
A flagship
series powered by an entertainment and content ecosystem
Across the Xperia Z5 series, Sony’s rich
expertise in audio technologies lets you enjoy sound in incredible
detail and clarity. High-Res Audio reproduces high frequency sound for a studio
quality experience. DSEE HXTM upscales the audio fidelity of your
existing MP3, AAC or Spotify tracks to near High-Res Audio quality. And for
high quality wireless music listening, Sony’s LDAC™ codec transmits data three
times more efficiently than legacy codec over Bluetooth.
And now for the first time, Sony’s new High-Resolution
Audio Headset MDR-NC750 allows you to enjoy combined Hi-Res Audio music with
Digital Noise Cancelling - your tunes as they were intended to be heard, with
ambient background noise reduced by up to 98%.
