The smartphone camera with advanced movement and colour capture. So life looks as beautiful as it is.

Xperia XZ perfects the fundamentals of a great smartphone. Packed with innovations in technology, it boasts a photo-pro’s camera, an intelligent battery and smart features that adapt to you. And it’s all delivered in a stunning, evolved design.

Xperia XZ comes loaded with the advanced photography technologies you recognize from other Xperia smartphones. We’ve also added triple image sensing technology to analyse, adapt and capture perfect shots in challenging conditions.

Life’s best subjects are rarely still for long. Xperia XZ allows you to capture even moving objects – before the moment passes you by. Bringing together the power of an imaging sensor and a laser autofocus sensor, you can freeze movement in the sharpest detail, even when the light is low.

Our RGBC-IR sensor delivers incredibly accurate colours, whether you’re in bright sun or indoors. It analyses and adapts to any light, reproducing colours just as you see them. So your pictures don’t need any extra punch before sharing.

Xperia XZ’s uncluttered design is meant to fit seamlessly into your life. The soft, rounded form is comfortable to hold, while the stunning colours are designed to suit your style.

Xperia XZ is available in a range of striking colours. The back is made from high purity ALKALEIDO™ metal, adding depth, shine and brightness to the finish.

Sony's water resistant design takes the worry out of a little wet. Xperia XZ is built to withstand the splashes that are a part of everyday life. So you can relax about sudden spills or unexpected showers.

Charging can take a toll on your battery but unlike most smartphones, Xperia XZ uses intelligent charging to prevent battery decline. It learns your charging patterns and adapts to them, resulting in up to twice the battery lifespan.

Style Cover Touch SCTF10 has a see-through front that lets you access your smartphone functions even when the flip cover is closed.
