challenging lighting conditions. You’re now also able to reproduce objects in
more vivid colours and capture night images and faces with stunning clarity.

From illuminated night

and adjusts the settings automatically, to help you get the best photos
anywhere, at any time. As the default camera mode, Superior Auto turns HDR on
or off depending on your scene. HDR mode takes multiple shots with varied

Performance
A Quad-core phone with
lightning-fast performance
Run multiple apps
simultaneously, surf the web with shorter loading time and stream beautifully
lag-free videos. The advanced Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.2 GHz Quad-core processor
gives you maximum performance and speed without draining your battery. The
processor is asynchronous, which means each core is powered up and down
independently. So you get the precise amount of power when you need it, without
wasting power when you don’t.
Fast, faster, LTE
Your Quad-core phone has a
built-in LTE/4G modem. This enables blazing Internet connections with up to 150
Mbit/s download and 50 MBit/s upload speeds.
A battery that lasts, and
lasts
Make your battery go
further with Battery STAMINA Mode
Battery STAMINA Mode
extends your phone’s standby time up to four times longer, so your phone will
keep on going when you need it most. When you’re not using the display, apps
and functions will be intuitively turned off, but you’ll still receive incoming
calls, texts, and alarms. Press the power button and everything is up and
running again. You can easily customise the app notifications you want to
receive during standby mode. Email or Facebook notifications on or off? It’s up
to you.

setting up connections between various gadgets in your home? Well, now those
days are over. NFC (Near Field Communication) gives you a quick and easy way to

or videos from your smartphone on your TV. Or play music through a wireless

From your smartphone to the
big screen
Who says you have to have
an NFC-enabled TV in order to mirror your smartphone on the big screen? Or to
go from headphones to speakers? Instead, you can “Throw” content from your
Bluetooth smartphone to your Wi-Fi-enabled TV through screen mirroring or DLNA,
or send your tunes to a speaker via Bluetooth. Using “Throw”, a smart
application integrated into your Xperia apps, your smartphone finds the best
way to wirelessly connect to other devices. With an MHL cable, you can also
mirror your phone’s full user interface on your TV and enjoy films, games and
more while charging. Or why not use a Miracast™ Wireless Display? It lets you
wirelessly stream your smartphone to your TV over Wi-Fi.
