The rest of the specs are 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, a 3230mAh battery, and IP68 dust and water resistance. There's also not much of a solution for HDR content. The XZ doesn't have the "Ultra HD Premium" certification found on many TVs, and Sony didn't provide hard numbers for brightness or color depth.
