Sony Mobile Communications unveiled a new-look Xperia range of smartphones during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, yesterday.

The ‘X’ series smartphones — Xperia X, Xperia X Performance and Xperia XA — will alter the way people communicate, with ambient connected devices changing the way they interact with the world.

The Xperia X series add new layers of intelligent technology across popular Xperia features — camera, battery and design — to make every day smarter and simpler.

It’s next generation camera allows you to shoot even spur-of-the-moment shots in sharp focus. The all-new Predictive Hybrid Autofocus in Xperia X and Xperia X Performance lets you choose your subject and then predicts its motion, so you can capture the action in perfect focus, free from blur.

The phones incorporate Sony’s smart battery management to deliver up to two days of battery life.

Xperia X features the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 650 processor and Xperia X Performance introduces the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 820 processor for ultra-fast connectivity.

Each X series smartphone brings a curved glass display within a rounded, continuous frame for a familiar form that feels comfortable in your hand.

The phones will also have a range of matching Style Covers and will roll out in four elegant finishes — White, Graphite Black, Lime Gold and Rose Gold.

Xperia Ear, a next-generation wireless ear-piece, helps communications get better, without compromising on enjoying the world around you. It provides useful info such as your schedule, weather and latest news to keep you up-to-date on the go. It responds to verbal commands and you can ask it to make a call, perform an internet search, dictate a message or navigate to a certain location.

Xperia Eye is a conceptual vision for an ultra compact, wearable wide-angle lens camera — with the flexibility to be easily attached to clothing or worn around the neck. It represents a proof-of-concept exploration to bring Sony's acclaimed camera and sensing technology to its smallest ever form-factor — featuring a 360-degree spherical lens for a natural field of view.

Its intelligent shutter technology will use facial and voice detection to capture images, allowing you to enjoy and preserve life’s moments without thinking about the technology.

The Xperia Projector will empower and stimulate creative family communication using a natural and interactive interface projection on any clear surface.
