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.

Mark, 13 May 2017I have checked the photo comparison tool ZX Premium vs. Gal... moreIf the parameters were the same, I would give you the reason, but this is not the case.
XZP: ISO 800 , 1/32s
S8: ISO 250 1/10s
Honestly the Xperia XZ Premium does a better job considering that the iso is higher

      Less than 10%.

      Not enough to give up on flat screen..

      OEMs make much money when screens get damaged. Edge display costs more.
      Im my country is almost the price of the whole S6

            No Samsung phone looks premium..

            During our Xmas party last year, a cousing asked me to use my wifi.
            I got her S6 Edge to set it.
            S6 looks cheaper than Z3+. Way cheaper... I felt I was holding a 300 dollars phone against a 700 one.

            When you look at XZP, it looks to cost 50% more than S8 at least.
            Luminous Chrome looks like a diamond.

              Hmmmm....
              This is a Sony Xperia phone review.
              Why the comment section is flooded by Samsung irrelevants?
              Do they relate here?

              I can see that Sony articles get flooded the fastest and most with comments within such time. This article was just yesterday and now there's almost 300 comments here, while Samsung and Apple, or any articles at this time would typically just be around 200 at maximum

                      I think by far, XZ premium is amazing. They are totally for a different market, some want more screen, some want a gorgeous 4K. Design wise, its all about preference. Both are stunning in their own way. I wish the chrome would stick to the black front finish like the Z5 premium tho...
