    http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QwSTdyj1rUw Z5P gets compared to Note 5 display. Z5P clearly produces more rich and brighter colors. Even black levels look same in both phones, despite Z5P having a IPS LCD panel.

Because it will EAT battery and KILL performance. It's not because of the laziness of Sony that it doesn't run 4K always. Get it now at least, troll?

        AnonD-434597, 22 Nov 2015Z5P can switch between FHD and UHD in ease??? Nah, words... moreYou're the one who is misinformed here. Z5p can switch between UHD and FHD easily. Normally when you change resolution in your PC, the screen goes blank and it comes back on after 3 seconds or something. In the Z5P, when you are watching a 4K video and suddenly quit it, the resolution automatically changes to FHD without slowing down your phone
        Read this;
        "When we force the smartphone into 1080p resolution, we're making it put 2 million pixels in a room for 3.7 million pixels. This means the graphics unit has to stretch those 2m pixels into occupying space for 3.6m pixels, or the picture will look wonky. This technique is called interpolation, and is known to cause the image quality to degrade. Here's why - when the LG G3 is set to 1440x2560, each of the 3.7 million pixels it outputs takes exactly one pixel from its screen. That's a perfect 1-to-1 match. But when we change the resolution to 1080p, each pixel will be stretched into 2 pixels or more, and we'll no longer have that perfect matching. However, we are still left with many, many pixels that are crammed into so little physical space (5.5 inches by diagonal) that the result of interpolation is barely noticeable." The same can be told for Z5P too. When you change to FHD resolution, you won't notice blurriness because the pixel density is so high that you won't notice the result of interpolation.

            Nah, words like this is wrong. Dont get fooled..

            Z5P run at UHD only for photo and video. Thats the right one.

              AnonD-429807, 22 Nov 2015How...?I have no idea exactly. Hihi.

              Ever try QHD phone? Try install nova launcher, and you will find your homescreen n app drawer arent crystal clarity. Or try install FHD ROM it will all run at FHD except photo and video.

              For Z5 premium its basically the same software with Z5, all is still set in FHD or untweaked, so it will run at FHD except photo and video automatically. I always say words Adaptive, when needed, or active screen, smart screen isnt correct at all. How can we call laziness the smart..

Because of its optimisation is why Z5P can switch between FHD and UHD in ease. Z5P is not designed to run 4k always BECAUSE it will eat more battery and affect performance badly. Hope you get it at least now.

                        IMO, Sony better tweaks the UI to run at 4K. It maybe will eats battery more.

                        But i think its better to enjoy using phone with all its potential than compromise many thing to save battery. Especially bcz screen is the key selling point of this device.
                        The best way (if its possible)is giving two option, FHD mode and 4K mode.

                        Maybe sony wont, but i believe soon we will have developer working on this device to make the optimized rom for 4K screen. They will show us how easy it is at the same time make sony programmer looks like an amateur.

                          But someone needs to test the phone with VR, to prove that that the video is really rendered or upscaled at 4k. Coz i guess CNET never use vr, so the could not see the 4K clarity.

                              Good phone, good specs, good screen, good speakers.

                              Bad design, bad OS.

                              Poor price.

                              For me, all the big companies have hit a wall, the one thing they still haven't given us is choice, beyond rooting, there isn't a great deal you can change, some may argue otherwise however (for example) try to change the back ground colour of the settings page on a Sony or HTC device (for example), you simply can't, root the device and install a custom rom and you can.

                              What these companies still haven't realised is the reason why a lot of us root our devices is simply down to choice, it's my phone i'll change it kind of thinking.

                              HTC and Samsung and i think Sony (albeit not as in depth as the afore mentioned) have done this to a degree, but they're still holding back so much and it's for that reason people still like to have a tamper.

                              Give the user what they want, allow full access (via a disclaimer) full disclosure as to what the device is doing, collecting and keeping (believe me, once it's been exploited we'll know everything, naming no names HTC, SONY, SAMSUNG, GOOGLE)

                              Give us the option to change things like screen off animations, list view animations, full theming capabilities, the ability to freeze any app, remove any app (completely, not disable and leave the crap behind in a location we can't touch)
                              Give us the ability to hit lower level files so we can clean up, delete, modify things how we see fit, you want us to pay £500+ for a device which at the end of the day is still controlled by you? Think again.

                              Long live XDA and the like, without them you may as well buy an iPhone (oh wait that would be worse ;) )

                              Good phone though : D

No need to buy UHD Tv, because nowadays there is a few content to watch for 4k tv, but with this phone you can shoot 4k video and watch it...all of these things are good on paper....but what about actual life!

                                      Well, i just made my preorder for Z5P dual yesterday. In Indonesia, Jakarta, the offer is IDR 12,5 million (cashback 500k, 0% 12 month installment), you get free speaker BSP 60 (smart speaker) which usually cost you 4,5 million. So i think its reasonable to cost you 12,5 M-(12,5 - 4,5 = 8 mil). Delivery will be around mid Dec. Recommended to go for tokoPDA.
