This year's MWC is wonderful. Folding screen, 5G, etc. are the keywords of this conference. Sony is no exception. It has released its new machine on MWC and abandoned the previous naming method. Although the flagship model is not as amazing as the "future" machine released by other manufacturers, it may be the most mass production model with black technology available today.
Xperia 1
The brand new flagship is no longer named as XZ before, but as Xperia 1. The design language has also changed from the ambient flow of XZ2 and XZ3 to the square shape of XZ1 before. The side fingerprint has returned, but perhaps because of patent problems, Xperia 1 no longer integrates fingerprint recognition in the power key, but is independent. In addition, when Xperia Z first appeared on the stage, the popular purple color scheme officially returned. Xperia 1 provides four color options: black, gray, white and purple.
The three dimensions of Xperia 1 are 167x72x8.2mm. The reason why it is so long is that it is equipped with a 21:9 CinemWide screen. After the world's first mobile phone with 4K and 4K HDR screens, Xperia 1 is the world's first model equipped with 4K HDR OLED screens. This screen is very traditional - no bangs, no water drops, 6.5 inches in size, 3840x1664 resolution. At the same time, it is supported by the TV department and has an internal X1 for mobile engine. Not only that, Sony officially confirmed that it is a 10bit screen, and its color gamut is quite abnormal. Besides covering 100% of DCI-P3, it also supports BT2020. After this upgrade to the ratio of 21:9, watching movies will be completely free of black edges. Netflix and Amazon have taken the lead in supporting Xperia 1, a 21:9 HDR screen.
Another highlight of Xperia 1 is the rear three camera equipped by Sony for the first time, all of which are 12 million pixels. The main camera is a 1/2.6 CMOS (model unknown), aperture f/1.6, focal length of 26mm, 78 ° wide-angle, and unit pixel area of 1.4 μ m； The sub camera has a super wide-angle lens, 1/3.4 CMOS, focal segment 16mm, f/2.4 aperture, 135 ° wide-angle, and unit pixel area of 1.0 μ m； The other is a telephoto lens, 1/3.4 CMOS, 52mm focal length, f/2.4 aperture, and the unit pixel area is also 1.0 μ m。 The main camera and the telephoto lens have optical anti shake (the cable movement finally adds optical anti shake, and tears flow down the face). Optical anti shake is supported when taking photos, and optical anti shake+electronic anti shake is supported when recording. (Sony uses 12 million yuan for its own use and sells 48 million yuan to its friends. It really knows how to play)
Not only has the hardware been greatly upgraded, but similar to the screen, Xperia 1 has also been supported by the imaging department this time. It has a BIONZ X for mobile image processing engine to achieve RAW noise reduction, eye control AF, maximum 10fps auto focus exposure and other camera features. Of course, functions like 4K HDR video, 960fps slow motion photography and so on will not be lost. However, judging from the past performance of Cable Mover, how much improvement can be achieved still needs to be verified by the real machine.
Thanks to the support of other departments, Xperia 1 has upgraded its screen and video system, and its software has also been supported by CineAlta. This screen has "Creator mode", and the video system has 21:9 video recording of "Cinema Pro", providing the most professional support on the mobile platform.
In terms of audio, there has also been considerable improvement to match the screen upgrade. In the past, the flagship has not lost its dual speakers, but also supports Dolby Atmos panoramic sound technology. In addition to the common FLAC and ALAC audio formats, Sony also supports DSD, LPCM, etc. for the first time, although Xperia 1 does not have headphone holes.
Compared with the previous upgrades, the hardware of Xperia 1 is much more ordinary. In 2019, the flagship Snapdragon 855 (Xperia 1 does not support 5G)+6GB RAM+128GB ROM (supports microSD card expansion), 3330Ah battery supports PD fast charging, Bluetooth 5.0+NFC, IP65/68 waterproof and dustproof have long been common.
Finally, about the listing and price, Sony said at the press conference that it would be launched in the spring of 2019. According to the retailer's news, it is expected that the listing will begin at the end of May, and the price has not been announced for the time being, but the credibility of the 1099 yuan (about 7345 yuan) exposed before has become higher with the press conference.
Xperia 10
Also on the stage are the Xperia 10 and Xperia 10 Plus of the mid and low-end models. Yes, you can see it correctly. It seems to be more high-end than the Xperia 1, but it replaces the previous XA series. The overall design is similar to that of the flagship Xperia 1, but the chin seems narrower than that of the Xperia 1? Also equipped with side fingerprint identification. The color selection is slightly different. Xperia 10 provides blue, white, black and pink, while Xperia 10 Plus provides blue, white, black and gold.
The Xperia 10 series also uses a new 21:9 screen with a resolution of FHD+(2520x1080). The Xperia 10 is 6 inches in size and the Xperia 10 Plus is 6.5 inches in size. But naturally, there are no advanced functions such as HDR of the flagship Xperia 1.
Both cameras are dual cameras, becoming the second rear dual camera model under Sony (XZ2 Premium is the first model, Xperia 1 has three cameras directly), but their configurations are different. The lower end Xperia 10 is 13 million+5 million, the Xperia 10 Plus is 12 million+8 million, and the front end is 8 million. On the processor side, the conventional Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 series, Xperia 10 is Snapdragon 630+3GB RAM+64GB ROM, and Xperia 10 Plus is Snapdragon 636+4GB RAM+64GB ROM; One battery is 2870mAh and the other is 3000mAh, both of which support PD fast charging. Different from the flagship, the Xperia 10 series will be booked from now on and then launched.
Xperia L3
Another new model not mentioned in the press conference is the lower end Xperia L3, which can be positioned according to its name. It is also the only new product in the series that has not changed its name.
The screen follows the trend of Sony in 2019 and is replaced with a 5.7 inch 21:9 screen with a resolution of HD+(1680x720); SoC is MediaTek's P22 (MT6762), 3GB RAM+32GB ROM; 13 million+2 million dual shots at the rear, 8 million at the front; 3300mAh battery, supporting PD fast charging; Side fingerprint identification is also attached.
In general, the new machine released by Sony MWC has no future concept. The Xperia 10 series and the Xperia L3 are regular low-end model updates. The flagship Xperia 1 has more surprises. All parts are supported by the group departments, and the specifications are quite high. What do you think of the oil? By the way, there was a short rollover accident during Sony's live broadcast today. I hope it doesn't indicate that SOT is going to go bankrupt (laugh).
