It comes with Wi-fi 6 to 5G technology, to make sharing of photos and videos captured from the device more efficient. It has a “1.0-type Exmor RS CMOS image sensor”, which has an aperture ranging from F/2.0 to F/4.0, according to Sony, ensuring professional shooting. The camera has been specifically designed to create a depth effect and for “higher performance in less light”.

In addition to the main camera, there are two more: a 12-megapixel camera with a focal length of 50 mm, a f / 2.4 lens slot and a 1/2.9 Exmor RS mobile sensor, and the third with a 1/2.5 Exmor RS mobile phone, a 12-megapixel sensor with a focal length of 16 mm and a wide angle 124 degrees.
