Sonys new Xperia Z1 to launch in UAE this month

A 20.7 megapixel camera powered with G lens is its attraction

Sony’s new Xperia Z1 is all about its camera. The company announced its new 5- inch waterproof Android Smartphone at the IFA in Berlin that boasts a 20.7 megapixel camera powered with the G lens.

The phone will launch in the UAE in September and should be available in time for the Gitex Shopper.

So what’s new in the Smartphone? Indeed it is the camera. Sony claims that independent tests have proved the camera in Xperia Z1 provides the best overall image quality of all leading Smartphones.

The G lens, it says, is powered by a 27mm wide angle and bright F2.0 aperture, custom made large 1/2.3-type CMOS image sensor Exmor RS for mobile with 20.7MP and a BIONZ for mobile image processing engine, thereby, enabling sharp and bright images even in lowlight conditions.
