2013-09-04
hi Vlad I think the first thing you might notice that's new about the Xperia z1 is the design you've just seen the aluminium frame and the solid aluminium block it comes from here it is crafted around the edge of the device the familiar aluminium on and off button now a hard camera key and a beautiful alameen and design around the outside a new headphone jack has now exposed whereas previously you had a flat one headphone jack is now exposed but the device is waterproof so you can still drop the Xperia z1 into up to 1.5 litres of water leave it there for 30 minutes if you like and take it out happily the water jack will simply fill up there these big at the audio jack will simply fill up with water but they'll still work alright and did a big new improvements you have the neutral luminous display technology which introduced with your Bravia TVs exactly so in that five inch full HD 1080p screen now is a triluminos display straight from our bravia technologies that gives you the best color ever a wider range of colors and with the x-reality engine for mobile which is operating lower resolution footage to make it even sharper on this full HD screen alright and you have a new 20 megapixel camera under that absolutely so in this new Xperia z2 on smartphone we've bought the very best of Sony's imaging capability into a smart phone so that includes the Sony G lens which comes from our cyber-shot division includes the buy-ins processing engine an external RS sensor and is that combination of the lens the sensor and the processing engine which will give you the best overall images of any leading smart so we've got three times clearer zoom so if you go into the camera and I can't have to show you here on this one here's the camera if i zoom in you can see me zooming in you can see the bar here on the left hand side up to around there which is three times zoom you retain the sharp pictures and that's done by that combination the lens the processing engine in the sensor all of which is unique sound okay and in terms of physical dimensions the Xperia Z is a tiny bit smaller than this even though they have the same screen size can you tell us why the news that one is a bit bigger yeah it's a very little bit bigger but it feels very comfortable in your hand due to the new bevel that we have on the outside with the aluminium frame the slight increase in the size is a result of the the strong camera capability we put in the device the excretes size of the sensor which is going to give you those super sharp pictures from the 20 megapixel camera gives you a very slight offset in size I think if I hold Xperia Z and experience that one together you can see the size is very very similar yeah and as you can see we have you go to have it in black purple and white when is it going to available and where so you can buy this all over the world this product will will be announced at Aoife on the 4th of September and you can buy that across the world before the end of September release dates will vary by market but if you really want one you can certainly get your hands on one before the end of September does that include the United States so we still to reach agreements with carriers in the US about how we bring this product to market that you will be able to access the product there's certain stores in the US and water pricing is similar to the Experian yeah this is a premium smartphone he brings the very best to Sony together as you said played our best screen our best camera our best audio design and waterproof technology so these are similar pricing positions the experience
