Around the front there’s less difference, with both phones sporting a 13MP selfie snapper. Takeaway Most high-end smartphones and many mid-range smartphones made over the last two-ish years support "HD voice", but network support varies considerably. The Xperia XZ Premium uses Sony's latest camera UI. You change modes by swiping up and down (or left and right, if you're holding it in portrait). Intelligent Auto will probably be the main mode you use, and it defaults at 17MP 16:9 resolution, so you may want to opt for the 19MP maximum by switching to the native 4:3 aspect of the sensor. Leave the phone connected to its charger for at least 10 minutes regardless whether it’s responding to it or not. Sony Xperia XZ1, XZ1 Compact, XZ Premium and XZs are getting a camera distortion fix". phonearena.com. 24 October 2017.

However, if the problem occurred out of the blue without apparent reason, then it should pretty easy to fix. To do so, follow these steps…The Xperia XZ Premium will run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chip – the same chipset that's expected to be found in the Samsung Galaxy S8 and one of the most powerful mobile processors around. Officially called Motion Eye, the Xperia XZ Premium has a 19 MP 1/2.3” Exmor RS for mobile sensor with a 1.22 μm pixel pitch, f/2.0 aperture and 25 mm wide G Lens. It also features 4K video recording, which supports SteadyShot video stabilization alongside the standard 1080p/30 fps and high-speed 1080p/60fps and a 120 fps recording in 720p options. The front selfie camera has a 13 megapixel sensor (1/3.06") with 22mm, f/2.0 lens and 90-degree wide angle lens, same as the Xperia XZ but now features SteadyShot with Intelligent Active Mode (5-axis stabilization) like on the XZs. VoLTE" is quite literally the cellular/mobile equivalent of VoIP ("Skype"), and sends telephone calls over the mobile data network, rather than via "traditional" telephone networks. VoLTE natively supports "HD voice", so the networks usually just say "VoLTE", rather than "VoLTE with HD voice" or similar.

The Sony Xperia XZ Premium is an improvement over the Xperia XZ in almost all the ways that matter, on paper, at least. The Sony Xperia XZ Premium launched with Android 7.1.1 Nougat along with Smart Stamina battery saving modes and Sony's proprietary multimedia apps. [19] Android 8.0 Oreo started rolling out in late-October 2017. [20] Android 9.0 Pie was rolled out for the XZ Premium in February 2019. [21] Variants [ edit ] Once again, we’ll need to put a lot of this to test in our full review, but we did get to try out Sony’s super slow motion video capture, and the results were very impressive indeed.Sign in to the Google account that is registered on your smartphone. (The Google account you used to set up your phone). Speaking of the automatic detection - the Auto mode detects when the phone is mounted on a tripod and allows for lower ISO/longer shutter speed to improve low light photography. There should be no need to go to Manual mode to lower the shutter speed for nice low-light images, the camera does this by itself when stabilized properly. Notable features include a 4K HDR ultra-high resolution display and slow-motion video capture at 960 frames per second. [6] Hardware [ edit ] Design and Build [ edit ] Tip: If you can’t turn off your Xperia device before performing a software repair, force it to shut down. To shut down, press and hold down the power key and the volume up key simultaneously until the device emits three vibrations.

Sony has revamped the 23MP camera they've been using for a while, and demoted the once flagship-grade sensor for its XA mid-range series. Instead, it developed a new top-of-the-line 19MP IMX400 ExmorRS sensor also known as Motion Eye, which we already saw on the Xperia XZs. Train tray tables have also posed a problem; the phone even fell off the top of a cup on which I’d casually decided to rest it without any thought. The Motion Eye camera also has a new feature called Predictive Capture. When it detects fast-paced movement, the camera automatically captures a maximum of four photos before the shutter button is pressed, and lets the user select the best one afterwards. This is done without any user intervention and is possible due to the same built-in RAM chip on the image sensor used in capturing the 960 fps super slow-motion videos.

Choose the Erase device option and follow the on-screen instructions. Remember that this action will delete all user data on the internal memory of your device. Sony’s also made changes and improvements to other aspects of the camera for the XZ Premium, including the Motion Eye sensor, which is designed to capture images before you even press the shutter button, so you never miss a shot. It works fairly well on both phones, but is five times faster at processing images on the XZ Premium. Just as before, there is a considerable amount of noise reduction artifacts even in broad daylight, which don't look good when pixel peeping at 100%. But that's our only complaint and given the high-resolution, it's hardly an issue. If you downscale those images to 12MP or less, you won't even notice these minor issues. The highlight of the new features is, of course, the 960fps slow-mo video recording, but we'll discuss this in our video chapter. Daylight image qualityWhat this means in practice is two things. First, the ability to capture super slow motion videos at 960fps (most are around 240fps), and second to capture images before you have even pressed the button. Yes, really. You might rightly be asking why this is the case – and the answer would be battery life. Rendering 4K resolution every waking minute would absolutely decimate battery life, so instead you’ll see native 4K resolution in certain instances: when watching native 4K resolution videos in the pre-installed Sony app, for example.
