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.

    Droid, 27 May 2017Ok let's go 1-iris scanner 2-samsung pay 3-best super am... moreI don't use so many fancy features:
    1- iris scanner won't work on night and for every smartphone the fingerprints scanner is already enough to use.
    2-Samsung pay can't use at certain shops and credit card still the first choice.
    3-super Amoled display won't show the true white and the black tone is too contrast.
    4-wireless charging out of support when urgently need a charge at outsiders.
    5-Samsung dex design too large, inconvenient to carry.
    6-heart rate and spO2 no need to use it, why don't ditch this feature and find a good place for fingerprint?
    7-bixby? Another Siri, with my broken English I will disable this feature in the app setting.
    8-always on display not so useful and consumption more battery.
    9-dual edge screen and edge feature is gimmick, a simple stable Android UI is more practical to use.

    Furthermore, the S8 fingerprints design at the wrong place.

                      How dare you to say "fanboy"? When yourself are just another fanboy from another company, that's so ironic, also, how's S8 any better than XZP? specs-wise? I don't think so... unique-features are subjective.
