Sony has also added a 19 megapixel rear camera to the device that’s capable of recording slow-motion video at 960 frames-per-second. The handset features a 3,230mAh battery. It does have a side-mounted fingerprint sensor in the U.S. like the other variants do.

The Xperia XZ Premium will be available in Luminous Chrome, Bronze Pink, and Deepsea Black colors. It will work on GSM carriers in the country, carriers like T-Mobile and AT&T.
