        Hello. I am considering buying this phone in 2023. I would like to ask if anyone here could comment about the pixel response times of the LCD panel? Is there any visible ghosting trails and smearing whilst scrolling text on a dark background, eg. scrolling the YouTube app with dark theme enabled?

            you have to suffer, 10 Mar 2023then its just youtube's faultMaybe, I will try other platforms and this phone's native video player. But again problem remains, because I watch videos on YouTube mostly.

              Prashant, 09 Mar 2023But they say that XZ Premium is a 4k HDR phone.then its just youtube's fault

                          Coming back to this phone in 2023, I only noticed the AOSP Open Device program for several Sony phones*. It turns out that Sony rolls out Android 11.0 binaries for this phone. If you think about it, Sony can officially roll out a fourth OS update to this phone. I don't mind this AOSP program thing since I used to flash custom ROMs, but most average consumers don't do that kind of thing.

                            My Xperia XZ2 Premium supports 2160p HDR video playback in YouTube, but my XZ Premium doesn't. It streams 2160p non-HDR videos in YouTube, but when trying to play any 4K HDR video, only maximum resolution available is 1080p HDR. Disappointing because I bought this phone last year only due to its 2160p resolution display.

                                Almost 6 years old and still going strong for my needs

                                Prefer side biometric sensor as on this phone

                                Only (major) downsides for me;

                                Only froze twice, but was easily rectified
                                No dedicated memory card slot... hybrid only
                                Top & bottom bezels a little large
                                No OS availability beyond Android 9
                                4K screen OTT... used 3rd party to decrease resolution

                                    After 2 years of use, it dies suddenly, but luckily it was under warranty so they gave me a new identical XZ Premium phone.

                                    Guess what? 3 years and it's still fault-free. Yes it's slow, but probably due to me not emptying its storage or formatting it.

                                    Overall I can say that, apart from one failure. Sony Xperia XZ Premium has been standing strong for more than five years. Absolutely well done SONY! I'll be a loyal customer forever.

                                      My XZ Premium (SO-04J) doesn't run 4K HDR playback in YouTube, it runs on 1080p HDR, while even my other 1080p display phones can. Why?
