Main Products Being ShowcasedSmartphone

Sony unveiled Xperia 5, a new addition to the flagship series that packs key features of Xperia 1, bringing together Sony's technologies from the professional broadcasting and cinematography businesses, into a sleek and comact design. Xperia 5 will be launched in various countries and regions from this autumn[1]

Xperia 5 also supports HDR (high dynamic range) and combines a 21:9[2] aspect ratio with a 6.1-inch Full HD+ (2,520 x 1,080 pixels) OLED display. The new model's slim, 68mm wide design makes it highly portable and easy to use, while still featuring a 21:9 CinemaWide experience in a compact body that is 14 grams lighter than Xperia 1.

Xperia 5's triple camera is equipped with 12 MP image sensors and optical image stabilization (OIS). Furthermore, the camera features Eye AF (Auto Focus) which uses algorithms from Sony's (Alpha ) interchangeable lens camera to enable it to identify and keep focus on a human eye. Additionally, users can freely switch between the 26mm (F1.6) versatile lens, 52mm (F2.4) telescopic lens, and 16mm (F2.4) super-wide lens (35mm conversion), for even more creative photographic opportunities.

And with X1 for mobile, based on upscaling technology first achieved through BRAVIA , the display can convert SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) content into beautiful, HDR (High Dynamic Range) equivalent picture quality using HDR Remastering technologies. This allows users to view even online video content with more contrast, color, and clarity. Additionally, improved Game enhancer boasts expanded recording features, as well as allowing users to enjoy immersive 21:9[3] and optimized gaming experiences.

Xperia 5 is also equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Mobile Platform, the latest offering from Qualcomm. Finally, new to Xperia 5 is Smart connectivity, deep learning technology which analyses Wi-Fi signals and predict near-future connectivity issues. Smart connectivity will automatically switch to LTE when it predicts any compromise in Wi-Fi connection to ensure you always have optimal connectivity.

Home Entertainment & Sound

The 1000X series of wireless headphones boasts top of the line noise cancellation and superior sound to achieve a richer audio experience. The new addition to the range is the neckband style WI-1000XM2 which joins the award-winning headband style WH-1000XM3 and truly wireless WF-1000XM3. Featuring the same HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1 as the WH-1000XM3, this new model achieves industry-leadingnoise cancellation[4] and high sound quality. Its flexible, lightweight silicon neckband lets you enjoy your favorite music in comfort and style.

The Signature Series pursues sound excellence for the personal listening experience by bringing together Sony's suite of audio technologies cultivated over several decades. The latest products in this series are the high-resolution audio compatible SA-Z1 near field powered speaker system. By connecting just a single cable to a PC, Walkman , Xperia smartphones, or other audio devices, these speakers will deliver a deep, rich, and high resolution listening experience with a presence that is so real, you almost feel like you can reach out and touch it.

In the TV category, Sony is also exhibiting its line-up including the BRAVIA MASTER Series ZG9 8K HDR Full Array LED and AG9 4K HDR OLED TVs which launched in Europe this spring. The powerful Picture Processor X1 Ultimate displays all content, including 8K[5], in beautiful, uncompromising picture quality. Additionally, the new Sound-from-Picture Reality achieves the perfect harmony between audio and picture to deliver unique viewing experiences as only BRAVIA can. The exhibit also features products with Android TV that will enjoy improved operability when connected to the Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, as well as with Apple AirPlay 2 and HomeKit support, which is coming later this year.The Signature Series pursues sound excellence for the personal listening experience by bringing together Sony's suite of audio technologies cultivated over several decades.
