Sony has officially launched its latest device, the Xperia Z5 Smartphone. Much like the Z3, and other devices in the Xperia lineup, the Z5 features an eye catching waterproof and dust-tight design.

To accompany the unique design, the Xperia Z5 features a 23Mega-pixel (MP) rear-facing camera as well as a 5.1MP front-facing camera.

According to Sony, the rear-facing camera has the fastest autofocus speed featured on a smartphone as it delivers a ground-breaking speed of just 0.03 seconds – faster than the blink of a human eye (average 0.1 – 0.4 s). So whether you’re jumping for the frisbee in the park, diving into the pool or catching air on the vert ramp, you’ll have the power to preserve spontaneous action in real-time.

Designed by creatives at Sony’s Creative Center studios in Sweden and Japan, the Xperia Z5 presents an elegant and continuous plate form, with a metal frame and frosted glass back. It’s striking and comfortable to hold.

When it comes to performance, the Xperia Z5 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, featuring octa-core CPUs, 64 bit capabilities and ultra-fast 4G LTE speeds, letting you reach new levels of performance for video, photography and gaming.

Assisting the processor is 3GB of RAM. When it comes to storage, the device features 32GB of onboard storage, which can be expanded upon up to 200GB with a MicroSD card.

The device also features a 5.2-inch display, and runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop. The Sony Xperia Z5 is currently available at retail stores country wide.
