The crowd at this year's Mobile World Congress was captured by Sony's "Xperia XZ Premium." The device even bagged the "Best New Smartphone or Connected Mobile Device" award. Here's what you need to know about the Sony's flagship smartphone.

Sony CEO and Mobile Communications' President said that they are honored by the recognition and that the "XZ Premium" has received endorsements from operator partners media, consumers and industry peers alike. "This is a testament to our relentless pursuit of innovation, to deliver great products and experiences for consumers," he added.

The "Xperia XZ Premium" was unveiled in Barcelona last month, and it is the successor to the "Xperia Z5 Premium" which was launched two years ago. The new phone is a plus-sized device sporting a 5.5-inch screen. What makes this phone stand out are its premium features, which include a 4K HDR display, an advanced camera technology, and a beautiful glass design.

According to Interaksyon, Sony replaced the brushed metal back panel with an attractive glass sheet for the "XZ Premium." Sony describes this device as having a "glass loop" surface, meaning, the Corning Gorilla Glass 5 goes on all the way around the phone. There are metal caps only at the top and bottom.

The display of the device is based on the company's Bravia TV technology, and it is the first smartphone to feature a 4K HDR display, Digit said. This gives richer colors even in low-light rooms. It also has IP68 waterproofing - meaning it can be submerged to 1.5 meters (5 feet) for 30 minutes.) Additionally, the "Xperia XZ Premium" has the Motion Eye camera system that gives high-quality images.

The phone's camera has 19MP high-resolution sensor, and the "memory stacked image sensor" lets you record in HD at a rate of 960 frames per second. The device comes in two colors - Deep-sea Black or Luminous Chrome. It has a 3230mAh battery and runs on Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box. The "Xperia XZ Premium" will be available this spring.
