About this deal

Tip: If you can’t turn off your Xperia device before performing a software repair, force it to shut down. To shut down, press and hold down the power key and the volume up key simultaneously until the device emits three vibrations.

The Xperia XZ Premium is the second phone with a 4K (2160p) display, the first one being the Xperia Z5 Premium. But unlike the latter, the Xperia XZ Premium has a 4K HDR display, making it the first smartphone to feature such a display. It is HDR10 compliant, but has no Dolby Vision support. The 5.5in (140mm) IPS LCD screen has a pixel density of 806 ppi when rendered in 4K resolution and features Sony's TRILUMINOS display and X-Reality for mobile technology. In good light the phone performs great in capturing the finest details - it is a match for the 23MP cameras used before. The processing, including the colors, has not changed much since the Xperia XZ and XZs, but there is a bit more detail and less noise than the aforementioned.Leo Kelion (27 February 2017). "MWC 2017: Sony launches slow-mo Xperia XZ Premium phone". BBC . Retrieved 27 February 2017. Around the front there’s less difference, with both phones sporting a 13MP selfie snapper. Takeaway Xperia™ XZ Premium Design". Sony Mobile (Global UK English). Sony Mobile Communications Inc . Retrieved 24 May 2017. Officially called Motion Eye, the Xperia XZ Premium has a 19 MP 1/2.3” Exmor RS for mobile sensor with a 1.22 μm pixel pitch, f/2.0 aperture and 25 mm wide G Lens. It also features 4K video recording, which supports SteadyShot video stabilization alongside the standard 1080p/30 fps and high-speed 1080p/60fps and a 120 fps recording in 720p options. The front selfie camera has a 13 megapixel sensor (1/3.06") with 22mm, f/2.0 lens and 90-degree wide angle lens, same as the Xperia XZ but now features SteadyShot with Intelligent Active Mode (5-axis stabilization) like on the XZs. My desk at home is one of those space-saving flip-up desks, which I assume isn’t perfectly level when flipped down; the phone has fallen off it countless times. I haven’t encountered such issues with any other handset I’ve used.

XB (26 May 2017). "Xperia XZ Premium Dual has a hybrid SIM tray after all". Xperia Blog . Retrieved 27 May 2017. The glass rear is incredibly slippery. I’ve lost count of the times the phone has gradually slid off what I assumed was a horizontal surface. Even the slightest angle will cause the phone to slide. video recording, 720p 960 fps super slow motion video recording, SteadyShot with Intelligent Active Mode (5-axis stabilization) The big selling point is the 5.5-inch 4K HDR screen. Currently, content that can fully take advantage of this is limited, but it’s growing all the time, and this is a huge jump from the 1080p display of the Sony Xperia XZ, as well as being bigger. The Sony Xperia XZ Premium also has a brilliant slow motion camera, which can capture footage at 960 frames per second.

This is surely the single biggest difference between the Sony Xperia XZ and the Sony Xperia XZ Premium, as while the standard Xperia XZ has a 5.2-inch 1080 x 1920 display, the Sony Xperia XZ Premium has a 5.5-inch 4K screen – a resolution which is almost unheard of on a smartphone. Train tray tables have also posed a problem; the phone even fell off the top of a cup on which I’d casually decided to rest it without any thought. The major change, though, comes in the corners - the softness we experienced with so many Xperia smartphones is now gone. The XZ Premium photos have as sharp and detailed corners as their center, and that's an excellent improvement over the past Xperia phones, XZs included. The Motion Eye camera also has a new feature called Predictive Capture. When it detects fast-paced movement, the camera automatically captures a maximum of four photos before the shutter button is pressed, and lets the user select the best one afterwards. This is done without any user intervention and is possible due to the same built-in RAM chip on the image sensor used in capturing the 960 fps super slow-motion videos. The Xperia XZ premium is also an extreme fingerprint magnet, looking smudged and greasy practically all the time – unless you obsessively wipe it down.
