![]() There is also Sony’s What’s New and Xperia Lounge apps, which pushes content and news, to you. On the other hand Email, Music, Album and Video are just a clone of Google’s Gmail, Play Music, Photos and Play Movies & TV. Sony has also pre-installing some useful apps in the XZ Premium including fitness-tracking Livelog and video-editing Movie Creator. The device runs on Google’s latest Android 7 Nougat operating system, and for majority of times it delivered a smooth and clean experience. Sony Xperia XZ Premium Software review: Cleaner Android, powerful performance As there is still little 4K content available currently, I think at this screen size QHD is more than enough. Also the 4K display is only of much use when you have 4K content for which you either had to subscribe to Netflix or dig deeper on the YouTube to have one of the best visual experiences on a smartphone. More on the battery life later.Īnd while it’s always great to have a high-end resolution, the ground reality is that the 4K display of XZ Premium offers a little over excellent QHD displays you get on the Galaxy S8 and LG G6. This is where Samsung Galaxy S8 has an edge as it allows you to do that.īut with a great battery life, I did not find a need to have the resolution reduced at any point on the XZ Premium. Having such massive resolution, we feel that the Sony should have incorporated some kind of options in the settings to reduce the resolution of the display so as to save on processing power and battery life. The images produced on the screen are sharp. The device has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 with 807 ppi, which renders eye-catching true to life colours on the 5.5-inches display which puts the stunning Infinity display on the Samsung Galaxy S8 having 570ppi, and the LG G6 having 564ppi, a run for their money. ![]() Similar to the Xperia Z5 Premium, the XZ Premium is sports a 4K display supported by the Sony’s proprietary Bravia TV Triluminos display technology. The main USP of the device is its screen which definitely sets it apart from its counterparts. Sony Xperia XZ Premium Display Review: Eye-catching 4K HDR display Overall, when compared to its counterparts, Sony Xperia XZ Premium is not that premium, and even devices like the OnePlus 5 and Honor 8 Pro have more finesse. ![]() The USB Type C port is located on the bottom of the device and there is also a 3.5mm headphone jack-a delight for consumers at a time when manufacturers like Motorola and Apple have removed it from their phones. I found that the device was fast to unlock only occasionally failing at times, requiring a second try. The power button is located on the right hand side of the device which doubles up as a fingerprint scanner and also is easy to access via thumb. The Xperia XZ Premium is IP68 certified meaning the device can survive rains and a dip in the water – we just don’t recommend it for water sports like deep-sea diving as the IP68 protection best works up to depths of one metre. Though the bezels provide for an extra space to hold the device securely in landscape position while playing games. When you hold the device you will notice that there is a lot of bezels around the 5.5-inch display which makes it taller to hold than Galaxy S8 and the LG G6 – devices that come with large screens than the Sony Xperia XZ Premium. ![]() While the smartphone comes with Gorilla Glass 5 both on the front and the rear that offers some extra protection, I found the glass to be fingerprint magnet similar to Galaxy S8 and Apple iPhone 7 in Jet Black, thus looks unpleasant. When it comes to aesthetics, the Sony Xperia XZ Premium is not very impressive and leaves a void in the design that needs to be filled compared to Apple and LG’s of the world.
