Sony Xperia XZ4 is a three-camera beast with a unique aspect ratio

At the end of 2018, it became known that at the MWC 2019 exhibition in Barcelona there would be a presentation of a new brainchild of the Japanese company Sony, namely the Sony Xperia XZ4 smartphone. At the same time, there were rumors about the possible technical characteristics that will be present in the future gadget.

Brief information

Apparently, the Japanese this time decided not to betray their traditions and update their own line of smartphones in 6 months. It is noteworthy that almost all previously released Sony smartphones have already reached the bottom in the global market a long time ago. The reason for this outcome is the ambiguous decisions of the developers, aimed at creating a rather mediocre design, strange innovations, and, in general, poor hardware performance. Even the XZ line, which for a long time tried to carry all the burden on itself, did not serve as a salvation for the sinking ship, offering good devices. Until 2018, sales statistics were deteriorating significantly, and smartphones did not bring impressive results.

However, desperate Japanese developers did not lose heart, but on the contrary, having gathered all their strength, they decided to release a truly worthy flagship Xperia XZ4.

Specifications

Display

The most grandiose feature in the lineup, and in the global market as a whole, will be the unique aspect ratio in the future smartphone.

The fact is that its ratio will be 21:9, which is a new round among the screens. This information has already been officially confirmed, so it remains to wait for the release of the smartphone.

The front strip on the screen will be absent, and the front camera and other sensors will be located at the top of the device. It is known that the diagonal will be approximately 6.5 inches, and the screen resolution will correspond to 1440x3365 pixels.We can say that the resolution will be in 4k format. The total density of dots per inch will vary within 59. With these indications, the area of ​​​​the smartphone itself will be slightly less than one hundred centimeters squared. This suggests that the smartphone will not be bulky.

Appearance and dimensions

It became known that the width of the future smartphone will be slightly inferior to the previous series and will be 72.5 millimeters. The height will border in the region of 166 mm - this figure indicates the impressive length of the device. Most likely, the smartphone will be the champion thanks to this parameter. The thickness of the case will be approximately 8.5 millimeters.

The appearance has undergone significant refinement compared to previous models. Knowing the dimensions, it can be argued that the device will be very elongated. The back cover this time will do without a fingerprint scanner, but a corresponding sensor will appear under the screen. Most likely, such a move was made due to the popularity of the latest innovation. It is also interesting that the back of the phone will contain as many as 3 three cameras. This is the first smartphone of this Japanese brand, which will have a triple camera.

The smallest module will have the function of an assist element in auto focus mode.

The front camera will not be too powerful, but it will acquire wide-angle optics. This module will be located at the top of the display.A small module will have a nice shape, without a noticeable cutout or bulge.
