Without a doubt, the photography industry has been shaken by the rise of smartphone photography. The highly competitive market of smartphones has also been overrun by many options from a variety of different manufacturers. The Android platform dominates smartphone sales, having a whopping 87% market share – an impressive number when compared to the 12% that iOS represents. With Android being an open platform compared to iOS, it attracts many manufacturers from all over the world, including Sony. While Sony has recently become a popular choice among photographers, thanks to its appealing mirrorless cameras, the company has been making smartphones for much longer, with its Xperia line dating all the way back to 2008. And considering that the company also holds a large market share in digital camera sensor manufacturing (most smartphones today use Sony-made sensors), it is understandable why it wants to continue playing its part in the smartphone industry. After-all, the smartphone is what the majority of people around the world use today to capture their day-to-day moments. I recently had a chance to test the Sony Xperia XZ2 and wanted to share my impressions about this smartphone’s camera capabilities with our readers.
