The Sony Xperia XZ Premium has been the best smartphone of MWC 2017

As the celebration of the MWC approached, it was confirmed that Samsung would not present its new flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S8, a news that decaffeinated the event, since the Korean company had been presenting its flagship at this event for several years. The Korean company plans to present this new device on March 29 in New York, as it did last year with the Galaxy Note 7, a terminal that had to be withdrawn from the market due to the explosions it was suffering. In the absence of the Galaxy S8, the device that has attracted the most attention at MWC and has been considered the best smartphone at the fair has been Sony's Xperia XZ Preimum.

What is most striking about this device is the possibility of recording HD videos at 960 fps, a frame rate that until now has not been seen on any smartphone. Currently the iPhone 7 allows us to record at most at 240 fps. Another novelty that this terminal offers us is that if it will be managed by the Snapdragon 835, a chip that according to many rumors would only be available initially in the Galaxy S8, which forced LG to use the Snapdragon 821 in its flagship , the G6, which has also been presented at this fair, but has not managed to win the award for the best smartphone.

The Xperia XZ Premium is also the first smartphone to use a screen with 4k resolution, a resolution that will seriously affect the battery of the device, in addition to offering a quality that can be seen clearly in just 5,5 inches. At Sony they are not stupid and this resolution will only be used when the content to be shown offers this resolution, meanwhile, the resolution of both the menus and the applications will be in Full HD. Regarding the price of this terminal, the company has not revealed it but it will be the highest of the company's range, so it will rub shoulders with the high-end prices, probably hovering between $ 750 and $ 850. Their arrival is expected in the first half of the year.
