Sony Xperia XZ US Release: Premium Phone for a Premium Price

This Oct. 2, the Sony Xperia XZ has officially landed in the US with a hefty tag price of $699.99 on Amazon. Sony's new flagship comes equipped with a 5.2-inch full HD display, 3GB RAM, Snapdragon 820 processor, 32GB internal memory, a 2,900 mAh battery and runs on Android.

The US becomes the official second market of the newly released Sony Xperia XZ after the handset was first released in Taiwan. With a hefty tag price, the Xperia XZ is at the high end of the smartphone market. But of course, it also comes with premium features that are worth its price point.

Specs and features

For one, Sony's latest flagship is a 5.2-inch phablet with a full HD display of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. This allows consumer to enjoy crisp visuals on a big enough screen. Compared to other rival flagships though, the Xperia XZ would fall behind the QHD displays with higher pixel resolutions of 2,560 x 1,440. 

Other notable features of the Xperia XZ includes a 23-megapixel and 13-megapixel rear and front cameras, a powerful Snapdragon 820 processor, an ample amount of RAM at 3GB, a 2,900 mAh battery and a 32GB capacity for internal storage that is still expandable up to 200GB using a microSD card.

Sony finished the XZ's look with a metal body that looks sleek and feels premium to touch.

Against competition

Looking at the specs, the Sony Xperia XZ sure has a lot to offer to consumers looking for a high-end phone. However, in comparison to similar flagships from top smartphone manufacturers, the XZ might lose the competition due to the lackluster RAM and display. The Samsung Galaxy S7 is far cheaper and it offers similar features. Basically, the Xperia XZ would be an expensive choice against other similar handsets.

The Sony Xperia XZ is available on Amazon in Graphite Black and Platinum colors. There is a Forest Blue color that is not available at this point.
