It will be interesting to see which camera sensors Sony will feature on the new devices, especially since the report mentions that all three smartphones will come with “full pixel continuous and shoot” features, the translation reads. The text possibly refers to Sony’s Motion Eye Camera which was introduced on the Xperia XZs, during its unveil earlier this month.

The Xperia XZs has a 19MP camera with Exmor memory stacked image sensor and predictive hybrid autofocus, while the capacity on the new phones is unknown at this point.
