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.

Well yeah S8 is better in almost everything but I'm impressed how Sony has a great army of fanboys and these things like 4k display and ability to stand vertical are definitely making me to try one.. S8 remains my primary phone but I'm buying this XZP too, two are better than one.

                Hi, which one have a better camera? The new Xperia xz premium or iPhone 7 plus? Basically I am using Sony from many years ( Xperia z2). The only problem I face is that the poor front camera.
