Sony"s new Xperia XZ1 can create your 3D replica in real-time

Sony Mobiles today unveiled its latest flagship, the Xperia XZ1 in India, making it the third flagship in the XZ series to be launched in India this year. Prior to the Xperia XZ1, Sony had launched the Xperia XZ Premium and the Xperia XZs in India. The smartphone was first announced at IFA 2017 held in Berlin last month, featuring an HDR-enabled display and a Motion Eye Camera.

Sony has priced the Xperia XZ1 at Rs. 44,990 in India, with the phone being available starting today across the country. While the phone was available in Moonlit Blue, Warm Silver and Venus Pink internationally, in India it will come only in Black colour.

Although the phones from Sony have impressed the tech fraternity when it comes to performance, design and camera, but the pricing had always been the spoiler when it comes to Indian market. But this time around, Sony seems to have worked on improving its pricing, after launching the Xperia XZ Premium for Rs. 59,990 and the Xperia XZs for Rs. 49,990.

After a long time now, Sony has put up a solid innovation called the 3D creator, that is highly capable to challenge the competition. It is based on an algorithm that uses Sony’s Motion Eye technology and proprietary IP. You can not just create 3D objects, but can also share them across social media, get them printed or even use them as your avatar with supported apps. It has four mode; head scan, face scan, food scan, and freeform scan.  Moreover, users can bring the avatars to life by using them in the AI effects option in camera app.
