Sony launches world’s first smartphone with Motion Eye camera system in PH

In an unprecedented and bold move, Sony just announced the world’s first smartphone with Motion Eye camera system in the Philippines. Found only on some of Sony’s Alpha and Cyber-shot cameras, the said camera system integrated on the latest Xperia XZ Premium and Xperia XZs pushes the boundaries of mobile photography. It brings a wealth of features on the smartphone like super slow motion and predictive capture.

Super slow motion mode on Xperia ZX Premium and XZs allows users to take videos with 6-second 960fps-shots at HD video resolution. With this feature, users will be able to create stunning and dramatic videos like how the pros do it. As earlier said, the same feature can be found on its Cyber-shot RX 100 Mark IV and Mark V.

Another note-worthy feature on Xperia XZ Premium is Predictive Capture. It simply intelligently takes frames for you even before pressing the shutter button.

Apart from the aforementioned features, the latest Xperia XZ premium also touts a hyperpowerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (the first phone with such chipset to be introduced in the Philippines). Also, premium flagship of Sony also has a 4K HDR 5.5-inch display.

Sony is no stranger to introducing smartphones that have the features that can beat its competitors. Ranging from Playstation-connectivity integration to camera-prowess, Sony has been a consistent news maker in the mobile industry, which gained the a huge local to international fan-base and awards.

Sony’s newly announced smartphones – Xperia XZ Premium, XZs and even the budget-friendly XA1 and XA1 Ultra – are integrated with technologies that are superior in its class. (Summary Specs Courtesy: Gadget Pilipinas and GSM Arena)
