Fans of the highly anticipated Sony Xperia XZs, Sony Xperia XZ Premiums, Sony Xperia XA1 could finally mark the date of the release date and its prices. The large Japanese multinational conglomerate corporation just revealed to everyone the details at the Mobile World Congress at Barcelona last Sunday.

According to a report from GSM Arena, the Sony Xperia XZs will be released first. The phone would hit the shelves on April 5 and would be offered at a starting price of $700.

The Sony Xperia XA1, on the other hand, would be released in the same month as the Sony Xperia XZs but on a later date. It would face the public on April 26 at the price of $300.

The Sony Xperia XZ Premium flagship, however, has a vague detail on its launch date and price. The phone is expected to be released at some point in "late spring" with the price to be announced. Same thing with the six-inch Xperia XA1 Ultra, which is announced to be released at some point in "this summer", with the price still unknown.

Mirror has reported that Sony Xperia XZ Premium was described by Sony as the phone with a "glass loop" surface. It means that the glass continues all the way around the device with metal caps on the top and bottom of the device.

Chris Martin of PC Advisor also reported that the Sony XZ Premium has the Qualcomm's new flagship Snapdragon 835 processor. It kind of shocked the people since this feature is thought to be only exclusive on Samsung Galaxy 8.

The 5.5-inch screen is the first in a smartphone to feature 4K HDR. This means that it could serve as a successor to the Z5 Premium, which is the first 4k phone.

Other specs of the Sony Xperia XZ Premium include Android 7.0 Nougat, 5in 4K HDR touchscreen, 4G Ram, 64GB storage, Micro-SD card slot, 19Mp Motion Eye camera, 13MP front camera, NFC, Bluetooth 4.2, 11ac WiFi, and USB-C 3.0. Features like 5mm headphone jack, 3230 mAh battery, Qnovo Adaptive charging, IP65/68, 9mm, 195g, and Luminous Chrome are also seen as the features.

Other features of other phones could be seen in the PC Advisor article. It discusses features like Sony Xperia XA1 and XA1 Ultra specs and features and more.
