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.

With proper settings it's almost at par with the s8 even in low light, and color reproduction is more realistic than on every other flagships. For me the camera is an important aspect but not the most important, so go for it, as i am going to do when it arrives in Romania

    Meme Super Rage, 22 May 2017This phone is the greatest hit in 2017!! 5 more comments ... moreI think we're already well past the record... No-one has looked into it I think but it's surely not hanging around 999. ;)

    And to keep this on-topic: that shiny chrome would have looked marvellous in the bright sun we had today :)

            I was going to preorder one in Finland. They don't offer any freebies and ask 799€, so I will pss preorder. I think this is the most beatiful phone ever made, I am getting a black model. My only consern is much talked image quality. I will wait till it is available, go to the retailer and try it. I will snap some photos and evaluate them on screen. Of they look nice, I will get it. I am currently a SG Note II user, so ot can't be so bad? I am looking for a phone for the next 4-6 years, this is the only one that raises some emotions. As for those who shout out loud for the SG S8, I got one from my employer last week, it is nice looking, snappy, takes good photos, but the display is too narrow (and tall) for my taste. The desing is nice, but it feels like a deja'vu. The looks might be the key to go for Sony Experia XZ Premium; something different...

                AnonD-481725, 22 May 2017Not true, stop pretending. Often they're very good. Sometimes they take the opportunity to not point out a plus-point for Sony where they perhaps could have. :p

                  AnonD-72356, 22 May 2017Well I spent real money on it and it got nothing of my interest. So why are you wasting your time here, is bashing Sony is your job? Go bashing the fragile phone please, Xperia is very durable even the battery is twice durable than those competitors, because Sony using Qnovo battery charging tech.
