The world’s best camera in a waterproof smartphone¹Whether it’s braving the rain to get front row shots of your favorite band or taking the “selfie” to a whole new underwater level, Xperia Z1^sÂ makes fear of using your phone around water a thing of the past. Further developing the water-resistant capabilities of Xperia Z, the Xperia Z1^sÂ can be completely submerged in freshwater up to 4.9 feet for 30 minutes, making it waterproof¹Â (as per IP58 rating) and with its physical camera key, you can even use the device to shoot photos and videos underwater. It also incorporates wet finger tracking technology, to ensure the phone works perfectly when either the screen or your fingers are wet.

Whether above or below water, Xperia Z1Ë¢ leverages Sony’s best digital imaging technology to capture compact digital camera quality 20.7 MP photos and Full HD videos. For the first time in a U.S. flagship smartphone, Sony has added its BIONZâ„¢ for mobile image processing engine â€“ the ‘brain’ of the camera, which together with the sensor, produces images with less noise or blurring, better auto-focus and white balance, and clear image 3x zoom. Sony’s camera expertise also extends to the lens, with Sony’s award-winning G Lens (F2.0), which incorporates the brand’s unique optical design technology and quality control.

More than just photos and video
Innovating on what’s expected of smartphone camera capabilities and overall experience, the Xperia Z1^sÂ comes preloaded with a unique suite of applications called Xperia Camera Apps. Making their debut on a U.S. flagship smartphone, these applications include Info-eyeâ„¢, Timeshift burst, AR effects, Social live, and as an exclusive to Xperia Z1^s, Background defocus.

Info-eyeâ„¢: Perform a visual search that provides related information on items like wine, books, and landmarks, simply by capturing them with the camera

Timeshift burst: Capture 61 images within two seconds – a second before and after pressing the shutter – so you can scroll back and forth to find the perfect image.

AR effect: Overlay a selection of fun, customizable animations to create pictures with playful touch using the “SmartAR” augmented reality technology developed by Sony. The animations include dinosaurs, ocean-life and more.

Social live: Broadcast memories in the making to friends and family on Facebookâ„¢, live from your Xperia Z1Ë¢. Moments such as your best friend’s wedding to your child’s very first recital, are not only shared while you record, but are also made interactive as you receive your friends’ responses right on your screen to keep the conversation going in real-time.

Background defocus: Adjust the blur in the background for more artistic, professional-looking photos, once only achieved by using top of the line D-SLR cameras or specific lenses, with this exclusive camera app for your Xperia Z1Ë¢.

A gamer’s handheld companion
The Xperia Z1^sÂ brings an entertainment experience that only Sony can offer including free content as well as integration of Sony media apps with Sony entertainment services, including the new PlayStationÂ®App for the connected gamer.
