Yes, that's actually a fingerprint detector.

The Xperia XZ2 is technically a follow-adequate the XZ1 that launched after-hours last summer, but it's as wel a successor to the Xperia XZ Premium phone Sony launched at MWC 2017. Just where those phones had stale 16:9 screens and outdated designs, the XZ2 fully embraces the modern trends, with a 5.7-in Full HD (1920×1080) 18:9 screen, slim-bezel all-glass aim, and a arse fingerprint sensor. With a glaze back, a flagship Xperia phone lastly supports Qi wireless charging.

But while the XZ2 power not look like Xperia phones of old, the reside of the phone is typically Sony, with a unpeasant-smelling-end Snapdragon processor, a great display, and a top-notch tv camera:

• Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 845
• RAM: 4GB
• Storage: 64GB
• Battery: 3,180mAh
• Rear camera: 19MP, f/1.8
• Front camera: 5MP

Patc IT's wanting a headphone labourer, the XZ2 offers S-Force stereo speakers and a screen that can display HDR content—even if it's not from an original HDR source. The call up's playback tech will upconvert SDR content to HDR. Other feature for phone-sized movie lovers is Sony's new Dynamic Vibration Scheme, which uses an algorithm to add haptic feedback piece you watch.

Sorry, at that place's no headphone jack on the XZ2.

While Sony has resisted the dual-camera trend, the 19MP lens should be to a higher degree capable of taking astounding shots, especially when conjugated with Qualcomm's Spectra 280 fancy point C.P.U., which Sony is using for the first metre. The 960-FPS Super Slo-mo modality that debuted along the Xperia XZ Premium returns here, and now it can record in Full HD.

Small sizing, big specs

Along with the XZ2, at that place's also a smaller interpretation of the new flagship, aptly known as the Xperia XZ2 Compact. Simply while information technology's small in stature, with a 5-inch Full HD screen door (that stick with the 18:9 ratio), it's no less capable than its big sib:

The XZ2 Constrict might be 5 inches, but it packs a Full HD 18:9 screen.

• Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 845
• RAM: 4GG
• Storage: 64GB
• Battery: 2,870mAh
• Rear camera: 19MP, f/1.8
• Head-on camera: 5MP

A few things are missing from the XZ2 Covenant, just about notably, the Dynamic Trembling Organization and Qi charging. Unruffled, that's a great deal of power for such a trifle call. Sony too says the XZ2 Powder compact will play nicely with Verizon's CDMA network. The larger model is limited to GSM networks (AT&A;T and T-Mobile), however.

Both models of the XZ2 will ship with Android O (Oreo) on board and come in four colors: black, jet, blue, and pink. The phones are due to ship past in the spring.
