Sony Xperia XZ Premium review: The showstopper

12 May 2017
The Sony Xperia XZ Premium has a gorgeous 4K display. Better yet, a 4K HDR display! The latest Snapdragon 835 chipset is pulling the strings and delivering lightning-fast LTE while the Adreno 540 is firing up millions of pixels in a heartbeat. With or without the mirror finish, this is one of the classiest designs around and waterproof, too.

Makk4096, 10 Apr 2018Man what phone do you use now? I also owned Xperia L & ... moreHi dude. Sorry, i know this is a very late reply some time after 19 months later since it's only this time i was able to read your question.

I'm currently using a vivo v7 which is my main smartphone for almost two years now. And after almost five years, the xperia l is still with me because i still have some precious documents there.

I've been considering upgrading it into an xperia xz1 but i still have to find a solid one in the used market.

Using for one month. Initially it took a bit to familiarise. Very nice look and feel. Really fast. Not able to assign calling from a SIM to specific numbers. Also feeding contact by taking business card photo. These functions are available in most of today's midrange phones.
I love the phone.. I am a first time user of Sony.

Got this phone for a week now for a now decent price. What can I say? It's a great phone. Bezels don't bother me much. This is true sony styling. Battery has surprised me the most with 7
-8 sot. Of course, people that own this phone knows it's the fastest phone of 2017!

The XZ Premium's software is by far one of, if not the most efficient, back that up with best processor at the time, and you get a phone that is unrivaled in speed and performance compared to those with the same specs. I have no idea what you're saying about the looks, this phone has one of the most appealing designs that I've seen.

I have no idea why people even like this shitty brick of a phone. No technology aspiration and aesthetics whatsoever. Just increasing the megapixel doesnt make a good camera, you have to work on the software part as well and dont even make me start on the looks of a phone, the only way those edges can be used is for making a good trouser/denim get a ripped look around pockets. God knows when technologically illiterate people will understand this. I still have no idea how can a device from sony be in the top voted smartphones by user.

This one looks positively ancient, gimmicky, with small battery life.

Critics should slam all those, but they often play favorites which is why they are so often wrong. It ddn't sell well because it is not that good of a phone.

There is a reason why the chinese are in vogue. They qctually try. Packed phonnes, modern designs. The Japanese and the Koreans are very conservative to matter anymore...

Weird how the xzp didn't sell well when the xzp has been regarded highly by all the critics.

I used to be a sony fan/user and I can say that it's not worthy to buy an xperia these days because they just have only decent specs compared to other phones yet have overpriced price tags and those decent specs are found mostly on their new flagship phones like this one. I also have several complaints of these freaking phones (xperia l, m4 aqua) like being so slow, small internal storage capacity, deaf volume levels, hungs every while bc of the ram, etc.

Yeah, for me, I can say that's not good at all. At least I have a different phone now. But to say that you'd pick a google nexus for stock android or an s8 for advanced features? The hell, that sounds stupid. Nobody is asking what you should pick anyway.

Btw you're no different from the other sony and samsung fanboys. This behavior is the reason why a lot of immature people exist these days.
