Sony has launched the Xperia XZ1
in the Philippines, the latest high-end camera-centric handset from the iconic
Japanese electronics brand. Technically, the Sony Xperia XZ1 is in between the
Xperia XZs and the Xperia XZ Premium. It has the company's ageing omnibalance
design w/ the compactness of Xperia XZs and the flagship-grade internals of
Xperia XZ Premium.
It also has the famed 19 MP Motion Eye camera w/ up
to 960 fps super slow motion video mode. What's new this year is it now has a
3D-scanning capability that can scan 3D images of faces, head, freeform, and
food. In short, it can turn people and
objects into high-resolution 3D avatars.
