Read the description below and who knows, the Sony Xperia XZ 32GB might be for you!

The Sony Xperia XZ 32GB was launched in October 2016. The smartphone comes with a 5,2 inch screen with a resolution of 2160 x 3840 pixels.

Processor

This Sony is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 MSM8996 32/64-bit chip with a 2,15 GHz Quad-Core + 1,6 GHz Quad-Core core distribution. One of the main benefits of an octa-core phone is that it can provide improved performance. Because it has more cores, an octa-core phone can handle more complex tasks and multitasking more efficiently than a phone with a lower number of cores. This can make the overall user experience more smooth and responsive, and can improve the phone's ability to run demanding apps and games.

Another benefit of an octa-core phone is that it can provide better power efficiency. Because the CPU can handle tasks more efficiently, an octa-core phone can use less power to perform the same tasks as a phone with fewer cores. This can result in longer battery life and improved energy efficiency.

This combination therefore gives a maximum power of an octa-core processor with 3072 MB RAM. With a thickness of 8.1 millimeters, the device is not too thick. This phone weighs 161 grams.

IP68

An IP68 rating means that a phone is dust tight and can be submerged in water for extended periods of time without damage. This rating is determined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), which is an independent organization that sets standards for electrical and electronic technologies. The "6" in the IP68 rating indicates that the phone is completely dust tight, while the "8" indicates that it can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 meters without any damage.

Camera

The Xperia XZ 32GB has a 23 megapixel camera, it means that the camera is capable of capturing detailed images without the added cost and complexity of a higher megapixel count. This can be useful if you want to take high-resolution photos that you can zoom in on or crop without losing too much detail, but you don't need the very highest level of image quality. In general, having this amount of megapixels can provide a good balance of image quality and affordability. You can also use the 12,8 megapixel selfie camera for video calling, for example.
