Sony’s new flagship has an impressive spec sheet to boot. It’s the first commercial device to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. It also has a stunning 4K display with HDR which produces 40% more brightness.

Over the years, Sony has proved itself as one of the experts in smartphone imaging, so it’s no surprise that the new flagship boasts yet another first, something they call Motion Eye Camera, which enables slow motion video recording at a whopping 960fps in HD quality.

All of these, combined with IP68 certification for water and dust resistance, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, USB Type-C, Quick Charge 3.0 support, Hi-Res Audio, and Android Nougat makes the XZ Premium such a tough contender.

Of course, we’ll have to see whether it’s as really as good as it looks on paper. But for now, a good job to Sony.
