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.

    Why sony doesn't want to be a competitor for samsung and apple? while sony have good phones like this i think they can be in first 3 ranks .. sony isn't in its true place .. xz premium is one of the best phones out there if i don't say best phone

      we prise them if they give what we need, and we bash them if they dont give it. let them bankrupt if they are still stubborn and dont follow the trends.
      and if they bankrupt, other better corporations will come to replace them.

S8 doesn't have physical buttons even. Maybe your usage behavior made your phone slow, it's a problem with all smartphones. Samsung flagship phones are highly optimized since S6 edge and doesn't lag even after 2 years, I'm an S6 edge user and used it till now tho I also bought iPhone 7 but it could never become my primary phone due to everything it lacks. TouchWiz lag is a term used by Samsung haters, same haters were saying S8 camera is the worst but the blind shootout results covered everything, Samsung is the best in performance too!. Well S8 is...

                                  I use Samsung Galaxy A5 2017, it might be midrange phone, but that phone is laggy, and I hate the button on the phone(I love the on screen button).

                                  I choose A5 2017 over XA1 because it has more feature than XA1 ,this is the reason I buy A5 2017. But I realize that my choice is wrong. I should buy the Xperia Z5 but it has Micro USB. Xperia X was my first choice but it is more expensive(Malaysia)

                                  So my point here is Samsung phone is laggy. But I like the water resistance body, fingerprint scanner, design, fast charge and AOD(I love AOD) feature on A5 2017, which are missing on Xperia XA1(exclude AOD and design).
