Sony Xperia Z4 Offers an Image-Stabilizing Selfie Camera (VIDEO)
Sony recently unveiled its new flagship handset, the Xperia Z4 in the Japan, and it features an image stabilizing front camera specially built to take the perfect selfie.
The new Sony Xperia Z4 was quietly introduced to Japan early this week highlighting Sony's new flagship device's front camera which features an image stabilizing mode for selfies.
Apart from the digital image stabilization mode that reduces the blur when taking a photo while in motion, the phone's front camera now includes a 25mm wide-angle lens like the Z3's rear shooter, and produces 5.1MP images. It also has an added timer function for users to pose selfies or group pictures with or without the use of selfie stick.
With a 4K rear camera and a 5.2-inch screen housed in a metal frame, the phone supports Hi-Res audio and features a 1080p full display.
According to Phone Arena, the press event for the Japan unveiling was targeted at the local Japanese market, and Sony is reportedly launching another version of their top tier handset sporting different configurations for the international market scheduled at the end of May.
Appearing almost identical to the Xperia Z3, press photos of the event show the minimal changes in the Z4, with the new model sporting a thinner (7mm) and lighter (144g) shell and the latest Snapdragon 810 chip complete with Android 5.0 Lollipop.
The phone is available in four metal shades in white, black, copper and aqua green that have reportedly been subjected to a new treatment to keep a longer lasting shine.
With the conservative upgrades on the Z4, its appearance appear very like the Z3, which in turn only sported slight changes from the Z2, speculations are rising over how different the internationally released Z4 will be compared to the model released in Japan.
Whether the variance may be as minimal as special band support for 4G LTE, or as significant as browser capability and the addition of Java remains to be seen when Sony's latest flagship phone launches for the rest of the world in May.
