Triluminos display for mobile astonishingly authentic colours
Unique to Sony, Triluminos display technology creates incredibly true, natural colour shades just the way you want them. Hard-to-reproduce reds, aqua blues and emerald greens are displayed beautifully, making landscapes and seascapes appear more vivid. Faces look better too, with natural skin tones.
With Sonys own unique display innovation, the Triluminos display delivers a significantly wider colour range, which gives a far more natural and vivid viewing experience with a heightened sense of depth.
For clearer, sharper pictures
From low-resolution videos to high-resolution films with Sonys latest picture engine, X-Reality for mobile, everything you see on your display is analysed and selectively processed to give clean, clear and lifelike pictures. Three unique noise reduction features work their magic prior to upscaling, while Sonys intelligent display technology optimises contrast, texture, outline, colour and noise.
Pixel reproduction adds new life
Sonys unique super resolution processing breathes new life into everything you see. This technology examines each pixel in an image and reproduces the ones that are lacking, giving you the sharpest images.
(1) Pixel reproduction:
Sony’s unique super resolution breathes new life into everything you see. This technology examines each pixel in an image and reproduces the ones that are lacking, giving you the sharpest images.
(2) Texture and outline improvement:
By selectively enhancing elements that help to render the texture and sharpen the outlines, images become clearer and crisper.
(3) Colour and contrast enhancement:
The Intelligent Image Enhancer reproduces the vividness of the image in its original colour. Pictures are selectively optimised by enhancing the contrast, making images appear more detailed and true to life.
(4) Noise reduction:
Intelligent Noise Reduction decreases the noise that can occur in high-motion scenes or footage shot in low-light conditions. As a result, images become clearer and smoother.

Processor & Battery
The worlds most powerful compact smartphone
Weve matched the latest Sony software with the all-new, ultra-powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor. This advanced Quad-core processor is 75% faster than the S4 Pro and gives you maximum power and speed with outstanding battery time run multiple apps simultaneously, surf the web with minimal loading time and stream videos without a break. The Snapdragon 800 processor is asynchronous, which means each core is powered independently. So you get the precise amount of power when you need it, without wasting power when you dont.
Based on the results of battery performance testing conducted by Strategy Analytics between 20 November and 6 December 2013. Get more information on our test results page.
Breathtaking graphics
Delivering up to 50% increased graphic performance*, the updated Adreno 330 GPU (graphics processing unit) gives you the most advanced and visually stunning 3D gaming experiences, and lets you browse the web lightning fast all while using the lowest power consumption.
Compared to its predecessor, the Adreno 320.
Significantly improve battery life with Battery STAMINA Mode
Smartphones use a lot of power, even when youre not actively using them. All those apps that you have on your Android smartphone may still be running in the background, draining your battery. Battery STAMINA Mode saves you wasted battery drain. It recognises when youre not using your display and automatically turns off the functions you dont need, while keeping the notifications you want. As soon as you press the power button to wake up your screen, everything is up and running again.
Get only the important notifications.
With Battery STAMINA Mode, Wi-Fi and data traffic are disabled during standby, but you still receive incoming calls, texts and alarms. And since everyone has different needs, you can easily customise which apps you want to receive push notifications from even in standby mode. Facebook notifications on or off? Its up to you.
