Sony Xperia Z Specs: Screen Calibration A New Feature

Here's another update on Sony's new Xperia Z smartphone: With an impressive list of technical specs and some interesting never before seen features, the Xperia Z was the talk of the Consumer Electronics Show this year, and it is only getting better and better, according to a screenshot leaked today on the Vietnamese tech forum, SECafe.vn.

That's because, along with the large screen sporting what looks to be the new industry standard of 1080p high definition, the leaked screenshot of the Xperia Z shows calibration software that may come standard with the new handset. From the image, it looks like the software will allow users to change the white balance, hue, and color saturation to their personalized liking, instead of going with the factory settings and only being able to change the brightness of the screen, like how most smartphones on the market work right now.

However, it is not clear if this is just a test, a feature specific to the Xperia Z, a feature that we'll see on the entire Xperia line, or something which will become standard on all Sony portable devices. This customization option is well in line with ethos of most Android handsets, where endless customization through various firmwares is the standard. And speaking of Android, we' reported last week that the Xperia Z will likely be updated to the newest Android operating system, Android Jelly Bean 4.2, according to a Tweet by Sony.

The Sony Xperia Z will be quite an impressive piece of hardware to run Android Jelly Bean on, no matter what version you have. With a 5-inch screen capable of 1080p high definition resolution, a 1.5GHz quad-core processor with 2GB RAM, and a 13-megapixel rear camera with 16x digital zoom, the Xperia is going to be a hot smartphone to have when it releases sometime in the next couple of months (it's being released in the United Kingdom on March 1st, so it's a safe bet that soon after it will land here).
