23MP Camera with cellphone built in from Sony

Ok its really a cellphone with a 23mp camera but Sony was clearly looking to aim at people wanting to take pictures with their cellphone as opposed to people who want a cellphone that can take photos. They also have a "lighter" version with 16mp. These cameras, i mean cellphones mean business for photography. Now the true test will be how all those pixels do crammed into such a tiny space. We all know smaller spaces mean more heat and more heat means more noise. Initial samples are promising but all have good lighting.

Las Vegas, 8th January 2018, Sony Mobile Communications (“Sony
Mobile”) today unveiled Xperia XA2 and Xperia XA2 Ultra - the latest
additions to its popular super mid-range line, with Sony camera technology,
elegant designs and powerful performance.

"Our super mid-range product strategy started out as an exciting new idea
based on bringing bold technologies to this section of the market in the most
accessible way possible," said Hideyuki Furumi, EVP, Global Sales &
Marketing, at Sony Mobile Communications. "Xperia XA2 and XA2 Ultra are
no different, with leading front camera technology first seen in our flagship
XZ line. We’re targeting 2018 as a breakthrough year, and look forward to
showcasing further innovations across the entire Xperia portfolio over the
coming months.”

Xperia XA2 - capture life’s beauty with sophisticated Sony camera
technology in a sleek, borderless design
Xperia XA2’s powerful 23MP rear camera packs Sony’s large 1/2.3” Exmor
RSTM for mobile image sensor, with ISO 12800 sensitivity for clear low-light
photography.

It features 4K movie recording, allowing you to create with colour and clarity
– 120fps slow motion video capture is also included for dramatizing action
and movement. There’s a 120° super wide-angle 8MP camera up front, so
you can fit more of your friends and surroundings into selfies.

The 5.2” Full HD display is brighter, sharper and more colourful – it sits
within a beautiful borderless design, taking the screen right to the edge. And
it’s built to last with strong and durable Corning® Gorilla® Glass.

Unlocking is made easy with the one-touch rear fingerprint sensor –
integrated into the smooth metallic back panel. Xperia XA2 is composed of
anodized aluminium on the sides, with a diamond-cut finish on the top and
bottom, accentuating the industrial beauty of metal. It represents an
evolution of the recognisable Xperia “loop surface” form, with smooth screen
curvature and a symmetrical layout for a sleek look and comfortable feel.
The high-capacity 3,300 mAh battery and the Qualcomm® SnapdragonTM 630
Mobile Platform, means you can do more of what you love for longer with
smooth and speedy performance. And, Sony smart charging technologies;
Smart Stamina extends usage during the day, with Battery Care and Qnovo
Adaptive Charging ensuring the battery stays healthy over time. Quick
charging is also supported to give you hours of power with just minutes of
charging (requires Quick Charger UCH12W).

Xperia XA2 will be available in Single SIM and Dual SIM in select markets, in
four fresh colours: Silver, Black, Blue and Pink.

Xperia XA2 Ultra is the ultimate “dual selfie” camera smartphone
Engineered specifically for selfies, Xperia XA2 Ultra features 16MP with
Optical Image Stabilisation and 8MP 120° super wide-angle dual front
cameras, both with front flash, producing clear shots regardless of lighting or
environment and for fitting more friends and surroundings into selfies.
With the same 23MP rear camera module as Xperia XA2, the large 1/2.3”
Exmor RSTM for mobile sensor is capable of ISO 12800 sensitivity for better
low-light photography – and the 4K movie recording and 120fps slow motion
video capture features allow you to preserve memories and magnify
moments.

It features Sony’s most vibrant 6” Full HD smartphone display yet, with a
wide and accurate colour gamut – built with strong and durable Corning®
Gorilla® Glass. It sits within a borderless design; hardware so immersive, the
screen becomes indistinguishable from the experience.
Just as with Xperia XA2, unlocking is made easy with the one-touch rear
fingerprint sensor. The “loop surface” design is also composed of anodized
aluminium on the sides, with the same recognisable diamond-cut finish on
the top and bottom.

The super-capacity 3,580 mAh battery means you can use the device for
longer, and intuitive Sony smart charging technologies regulate and analyse
power consumption and charging cycles, so it lasts and stays healthy over
time - and the Qualcomm® SnapdragonTM 630 Mobile Platform ensures
performance is seamless and multitasking is made easy. Quick charging is
also supported for hours of power in just minutes of charging (requires Quick
Charger UCH12W).

• Xperia XA2 Ultra will be available in Single SIM and Dual SIM in select markets, in four contemporary colours: Silver, Black, Blue and Gold.
• Xperia L2 brings a large display, long-lasting battery and advanced selfie camera
• Xperia L2’s expansive 5.5” HD screen is great for enjoying video, browsing and
• social networks on the go.

The 3,300 mAh battery means you can do more of what you love for longer,
and intuitive Xperia smart charging technologies ensure the battery stays
healthy during its lifespan.

The 120° super wide-angle 8MP front camera is built for selfies, with its 13MP
F2.0 rear camera ensuring clear and crisp mobile photography.
Xperia L2 will launch in Single SIM and Dual SIM in select markets, in three
colours: Black, Gold and Pink - each rendered with reflective surfaces,
emphasizing the “loop surface” design, and unlocking is made easy with a
single touch via the rear fingerprint sensor.
