The new Sony Xperia XZ Premium, which had been launched earlier this month, has gone on sale in India. Sony Xperia XZ Premium, priced in India at Rs. 59,990 (best buy price), is now available to buy via Amazon India, Sony Centres, and select retail outlets across the country. Interested users can head to Amazon India to buy the Sony Xperia XZ Premium, which is available in two colours: Luminuous Chrome currently on sale, and Deep Sea Black in stock from Wednesday.
With Sony Xperia XZ Premium availability in India, the company has finally proved OnePlus and Qualcomm's claims of OnePlus 5 being the first phone to sport Snapdragon 835 processor in India as false. The OnePlus 5 is set to be unveiled in India on June 22.
Unveiled globally at the MWC 2017 earlier this year, the Sony Xperia XZ Premium is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor coupled with 4GB of RAM. Another highlight, apart from its top-end Snapdragon 835 SoC, is its camera. The smartphone sports a 19-megapixel Motion Eye camera with a 1/2.3-inch Exmor RS memory stacked sensor that's capable of shooting videos at 960 frames per second. The new Sony flagship also offers predictive hybrid autofocus and predictive capture features. Other highlights include a 25mm f/2.0 lens, and 1.22-micron pixel sensor. There's a 13-megapixel 1/3.06-inch Exmor RS sensor at the front with 22mm wide-angle f/2.0 lens.
