Sony appears to have taken all the attention away from the upcoming iPhone 6s, after the Japanese company unveiled the world’s first 4K smartphone
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) currently leads the smartphone industry with its iPhone and is likely to do so in the future as fans anxiously await the launch of its latest model. Apple is expected to introduce major under-the-hood upgrades in the upcoming iPhone 6s, however, the upgrades might not match what Sony Corp. (NYSE:SNE) has in store for us with its latest flagship smartphone, the Xperia Z5.
Sony might be the king of the gaming world with its PlayStation but it has struggled on the smartphone front. Although the Xperia series has high-end specs but it fails to compete with the likes of Apple, and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (OTCMKTS:SSNLF). This might be because its smartphones have failed to deliver the promises made in terms of performance.
Sony now aims to deliver a major blow to Apple and other major smartphone manufacturers by introducing the world's first smartphone with a 4K display. The new Sony Xperia Z5 Premium is without a doubt a phablet-sized smartphone, which is well-equipped to trump any competition in its way.
Xperia Z5 supports a design which is fairly similar to previous Xperia models i.e. glass on both sides with a solid metal frame. The 5.5-inch 4K display is the main attraction of the smartphone. The allure to have a 4K screen in your palms is likely to win over many smartphone users.
The phone runs on Google Inc.’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android 5.1 and could be upgraded to Android Marshmallow once it is available. It has a Snapdragon 810 processor together with 3GB of RAM. We hope Sony has managed to solve the overheating issues which surfaced on Xperia Z4, as the company is likely to use the same processors in Xperia Z5 Premium.
The best is expected from Sony in terms of cameras. The device will feature a powerful 23MP rear camera, with hybrid auto-focus system which allows it to focus an image in less than 0.03 seconds. The device packs a 3430mAh battery unit. We are yet to see how long it lasts and if it is able to support 4K display.
The upcoming iPhone 6s Plus will go up against the Xperia Z5 Premium and we already see a winner in what appears to be a one-sided battle for now, unless of course Apple manages to pull something unexpected out of the hat.
