1 SONY XPERIA XZ2 PREMIUM

• £TBC, sonymobile.com

Smartphone photography is reaching new heights, and Sony has just taken the entire movement stratospheric by jamming tech from its compact system cameras into the Xperia XZ2 Premium. You no longer have to live in fear of cruddy images and video when shooting in low-level lighting – Sony reckons the sensor setup here is so damn good you’ll be capturing things the naked eye can’t see.

The XZ2 Premium’s dual-camera Motion Eye drafts in 19MP colour and 12MP monochrome sensors. If you take snaps in darker situations, ISO 51,200 sensitivity for stills and ISO 12,800 for HDR 4K video will produce eye-popping results. There’s also a Bokeh portrait mode.

In addition to a silky 5.8-inch 4K display, tech borrowed from Sony’s Bravia TVs gives your content the full HDR business. A Dynamic Vibration System translates the what you’re watching or playing, while punchy front-facing S-Force surround-sound speakers are primed to dish out high-res audio.
