It is the leading European trade fair for consumer electronics. Also for sports-enthusiasts this is a perfect opportunity to check out the latest outdoor-gadgets on the market. Our reporter Lenz Noelkel is in Berlin and is completely thrilled by the new Sony Xperia XZ.<\/strong>The new Sony Xperia XZ is really a must-have for all outdoor-sports enthusiasts. This brand new smartphone has not only an elegant design and makes brilliant pictures – it is also water proof. So for all the mountain bikers, surfers or action sports-addicts out there: this product may be worth considering! This new Sony flagship has a camera with a resolution of 23 megapixels, which means that it is perfect to shoot high quality pictures during all kinds of sports activities. It also has a really huge 5,2 inch display with a HD-resolution, which seems to have a good quality. However, where there is light there is also shadows: If you want to have this new gadget to shoot the best pictures while doing sports, you will have to pay at least 699 \u20ac. If this high price does not scare you off, this might be the next smartphone for you! Just have a look at the pictures below, which our reporter in Berlin, Lenz Noelkel, made during the presentation of the new product. <\/p>\n

STATEMENT<\/h4>\n

Especially for sports-enthusiasts, this product can be very useful. Probably every outdoor-sports enthusiast has tried to make pictures of someone doing cool tricks while it is raining. So a water-proof smartphone can be quite a nice thing to have.<\/p>\n
