Sony’s premium flagship, the Xperia XZ Premium is finally coming to Malaysia. Succeeding the Xperia Z5 Premium, this is the world’s first smartphone to feature a 4K HDR display and it’s capable of shooting slow-mo videos at 960fps.

XZ Premium

The Xperia XZ Premium is currently the best Sony has to offer. Similar to the Xperia Z5 Premium, it gets a 5.5″ 4K Triluminos display but the XZ Premium gets an additional HDR enhancement for a better video viewing experience.

It’s also the first smartphone to be announced with a Snapdragon 835 processor and it comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage. If you need more, it’s also expandable via microSD up to 256GB. For imaging, it gets a 19MP Motion Eye camera that’s identical to the Xperia XZs while the front comes with a 13MP shooter. It can also withstand the elements with its IP68 rated dust and water resistance.

Powering the device is a 3,230mAh battery and it supports Quick Charge 3.0 via USB Type-C. There’s also Qnovo Adaptive Charging which helps to prolong your battery’s lifespan.

XA1 Ultra

Apart from the Xperia XZ Premium, Sony Mobile Malaysia is also introducing another Xperia X series smartphone. This should be the Xperia XA1 Ultra, which was also announced alongside the Xperia XA1 during Mobile World Congress 2017. It gets a phablet sized 6.0″ full HD edge-to-edge display and it is powered by a MediaTek P20 processor with 4GB of RAM and up to 64GB of storage.

In the camera department, the XA1 Ultra gets a 23MP f/2.0 main camera assisted by PDAF and LaserAF while the front comes with a 16MP f/2.0 shooter with autofocus. Onboard it comes with a 2,700mAh battery which supports MediaTek’s Pump Express+ 2.0 charging.
