Notable features include a 4K HDR ultra-high resolution display and slow-motion video capture at 960 frames per second. It supersedes the Xperia Z5 Premium and it was Sony's latest flagship after the Xperia XZ and before Sony Xperia XZ2. The device went on sale in the UK on June 2, 2017, and in the US on June 19, 2017. Pre-orders for the Xperia XZ Premium started in Europe on May 22, 2017. Part of the Xperia X series, the device was announced to the public along with the Xperia XZs at the annual Mobile World Congress in February 2017. The Sony Xperia XZ Premium is an Android smartphone manufactured and marketed by Sony.

In an increasingly rare combination, Sony includes both dual front-facing speakers and a headphone jack on the phone. It's easy to complain about the size of the bezels above and below the XZ Premium's display, but Sony is at least putting part of that space to good use. You get dual speakers and a headphone jack The Luminous Chrome variant is the worst offender, offering an easily-tarnished mirror finish that shows off every fingerprint.Īs long as you're not too particular, and walk around with a microfiber cloth in your bag or pocket, the Xperia XZ Premium could stay pristine, but it's likely to pick up hairline scratches pretty quickly - a problem with all phones, but exacerbated by the reflectiveness of the Gorilla Glass 5. Seriously, this is just about the most reflective phone we've seen - right on par with the HTC U11. ![]() You can only take very short clips and it takes a bit of time to get used to how the interface for super-slow-motion works, but it's a great trick that sets the XZ Premium apart from most other phones. It may only be 720p but think about the contrast between a regular 30fps capture and something as smooth as 960fps, slowed down to look great on this big, beautiful screen. ![]() Sony still highly over-sharpens photos in "auto" mode and requires tweaking in "manual" mode if you want anything better. But the results are mixed, not necessarily jumping to the top of the heap with the leaders such as the Galaxy S8, LG G6 and HTC U11. This is indeed the fastest Sony camera we've seen yet when it comes to opening and capturing - whether it's a single shot or a burst. At the same time, a new connection between the camera sensor and the phone's memory allows for caching of photos - predictive capture, as it's called - five times faster than any previous Sony phone, so no frames are lost during quick-shutter action shots. Sony thinks the XZ Premium has what it takes to beat the competition in 2017 with a new "Motion Eye" camera setup that lowers the resolution from 23 megapixels to 19 while increasing the size of the individual pixels, ensuring improved low-light results. There's a massive speed improvement, but the end results aren't matching the competition. But as much as it's tried to outdo the likes of Samsung, LG, and Apple, it continues to come up short. ![]() Sony understands this and has designed its devices around the camera experience for years. People don't buy phones they buy cameras that connect to the internet.
