Selfie-Focused Smartphones

The Sony Xperia XA Ultra Features a Hi-Res and Large-Scale Front Camera

— May 17, 2016 — Tech
The Sony Xperia XA Ultra is a specially designed smartphone for the millennials that are often seeking a cellular device with a high quality camera to capture selfies on. The Sony model is specifically designed to do just that with a high resolution camera complete that opts for 16-mega pixels in order to capture every detail of images taken. The phone is built for the selfie age, with a front camera that is more powerful than the back.

The focus on the Sony Xperia XA Ultra is to capture the perfect selfie, with a smartphone design equipped with the specs of a DSLR camera. The front camera is complete with a 16-mega pixel front facing camera that offers three times the capability of its competitors. The increased mega pixels offers more focused, brighter and high quality image capability for the selfie generation.
Trend Themes
1. Selfie-centric Smartphones - The trend of smartphones designed to cater to users seeking high-quality front-facing cameras presents an opportunity for manufacturers to continue innovating in this direction.
2. Improved Front-facing Camera Technology - As evidenced by the Sony Xperia XA Ultra's focus on a high-resolution front camera, trendsetters in the smartphone industry should direct their developers' efforts toward enhancing the quality of front-facing cameras.
3. Facial Recognition Features - As selfie culture elevates the importance of the front-facing camera technology, handset makers should attempt to alter the selfie function by adding innovative features like facial recognition.
Industry Implications
1. Smartphone - As this technology becomes increasingly relevant in our daily lives, the smartphone market should continue to seek ways to adapt rapidly and introduce innovative products.
2. Photography - With the smartphone camera becoming increasingly powerful, a disruptive innovation opportunity presents itself for the photography industry to adjust to this trend and offer a more mobile and personalized experience to users.
3. Fashion - As selfies continue to dominate social media and online representations, the fashion industry can provide innovative designs to make holding, using, and displaying selfie-ready phones an integral aspect of consumers’ personal styles.
