smartphone cameras have come along quite a bit but is there still room for improvement sony says yes we're checking out this is the Xperia z5 is the company's brand new flagship phone so let's talk a little bit about that camera technology sony says there's an all new sensor in this thing one with a 23 megapixel resolution is saying that it's got the fastest autofocus ever seen in a smartphone now why is faster autofocus good well it means that the phone is quicker to lock on to a subject and get it nice and crisp and all in focus and that means you spend less time looking at blurry photos and more time capturing the moment Sony's also touting better low-light performance and it says that this phone is going to be pretty good at zooming in thats thanks to its clear image zoom technology now they're still not going to be as good as the proper optical zoom that you would get on a full-size camera but sony says that with the big sensor in this camera and with an awful lot of image processing going on in the background you might be able to get better zoomed in photos let's briefly talk about the design so as you can see sony hasn't really made many changes from its previous flagship phones it still has that squarish industrial look one minor change though is that it's got this nice frosted glass effect on the back another welcome addition is this fingerprint sensor here on the lock button now this is a very very small button type of fingerprint sensor so we'll be interested to see in the long-term how reliable this turns out to be one final thing worth mentioning is that this 5.2 inch full HD smartphone is waterproof now I personally think that that's one of the coolest things about Sony's recent mobiles so it's really good to see that they're still sticking with that so there's some very intriguing technology on show here but we have seen finds in the past that make big claims about cameras but don't really deliver so we'll be looking forward to really testing it out in the full review let us know what you think and stay tuned to see Netcom
