Sony just unveiled the next generation of smartphones, the tech inside the newly launched Xperia Z5 is the powerful kind ever, its more than just a waterproof smartphone, but when you look at the camera specs, the new Xperia Z5 can shoot 4K quality videos and also their Xperia Z5 Premium is the world’s first full 4K smartphone, it means that it can shoot 4K video content from its camera and then you can watch 4K videos from its 4K built in screen display.
The most interesting part here is that all Z5 series phones are waterproof, battery can last for 2 days, camera are 4K ready, camera specs is 23MP, and they placed the finger print scan at the side of the smartphone.
