Sony Mobile has a bit of a strange history with cameras. Despite being a leading camera manufacturer and providing image sensors to iPhone which is known for its superb photo capabilities, Sony has generally struggled with the photo capabilities of the Xperia line. Ironically, Sony has set aside their best sensors for themselves while Apple and Samsung get lower megapixel variants yet the Xperia phones have never been all that great with photos.

Our flagship 23MP camera is now faster and smarter than ever. Discover how Xperia X uses Predictive Hybrid Autofocus to banish blur in our official video.

The best moments tend to be the hardest to capture. That’s why Xperia X goes from standby to capture in less than 0.6 seconds. Thanks to lightning speed Predictive Hybrid Autofocus and faster image processing, you no longer need to miss those spontaneous shots. Plus, with 13MP and renowned low-light sensors from Sony, the front-facing camera is built to take your selfie game to the next level.

Only time will tell if the upcoming Xperia X lineup can overcome Sony’s previous challenges which have mostly been due to software. But when it comes to hardware, Sony is still king and the Xperia X camera will offer truly wonderful features.
