Xperia XZ4 triple cameras contain 52MP sensor, biggest in the market

Sony’s mobile business is in deep trouble. Despite its endeavor to reinvent its Xperia line, its previous earnings are leaving analysts wondering if this year will be Sony Mobile’s previous hurrah. The company, however, has forever been stubborn about its smartphones, despite and in spite of all the odds. Expected to headline this coming MWC 2019, the Xperia XZ4 could also provide smartphone users something to talk about. Provided it’s not yet too late for the Xperia brand, that is.

Sony’s mobile business is in deep trouble. Despite its endeavor to reinvent its Xperia line, its previous earnings are leaving analysts wondering if this year will be Sony Mobile’s previous hurrah. The company, however, has forever been stubborn about its smartphones, despite and in spite of all the odds. Expected to headline this coming MWC 2019, the Xperia XZ4 could also provide smartphone users something to talk about. Provided it’s not yet too late for the Xperia brand, that is.

Despite making competitive digital cameras, Sony has fallen way behind when it came to smartphone cameras. Which is both sad and ironic allowing for it makes the sensors that other smartphone makers use and boast about. It’s almost as if it treasury those high-end sensors for its consumers, leaving nothing for its own Xperia phones.

The Xperia XZ4 could change that trend, at least for this year. According to the most recent leak, not only will it have three cameras on its back, one of those will be the maximum ever in the market in terms of megapixel count. Trumping the Honor View 20’s 48 megapixel sensor, which, another time, was made by Sony, the upcoming Sony flagship will boast of a still-unannounced 52 megapixel sensor with a large f/1.6 aperture lens.

As mentioned, it won’t be alone. Based on the leaked image, there will be a 16 megapixel f/2.6 telephoto camera on top and a 0.3 megapixel f/1.4 Time-of-Flight sensor under. The latter seems to be a new trend, even though its correct practical use has yet to be elaborated.

Given the Xperia XZ4’s rumored specs and, now, these three cameras, it seems expected it will be Sony’s premium 2019 flagship, despite not having the usual “Premium” label. That will leave it a bit handicapped later this year without the latest flagship unless it previously foresees the Xperia XZ4 could very well be it is last.
