This is the same design premium Sony phones have used for years and it's starting to feel old and boring. The limited camera interface makes the phone feel crude. The fingerprint reader is turned off in the US

Image 15 of 15Let me pin my colours to the mast one more time, just in case I wasn't clear before: a 4K screen on a phone is silly. It's innovation for innovation's sake, rather than practically useful. The human eye can't tell the difference on such a sm...

The Sony Xperia XZ Premium is a powerhouse of a phone, but it's looking tired against today's rivals, making it tough to justify the cost...
Powerful performance, 4K HDR screen, Attractive design, Great Build quality, Super-slo-mo is fun
Camera missing a few features
This is a powerful, great-looking phone and is a real performer into the bargain. It's also probably the best smartphone display there is. I only say probably because the argument over whether anyone really needs a 4K resolution display at this size is so...

Bold look, smarter camera than last year, slowmotion video capture can be fun
Photo quality, 4K screen is a limited realworld benefit, bulkier than its Android rivals, unique features wanes rather quickly
The Sony Xperia XZ Premium is a good phone. It's powerful, well-made and has a high-end, impressive look that is often the kernel inside our desire to have a £650 phone when a £200 one would probably do the job just as well. There's little to disli...
The Sony Xperia XZ Premium is a stunning smartphone, both in terms of design and performance. The mirror-like look isn't for everyone due to the appearance of smudges, but it helps provide an elegant, high-end look. The 4K HDR display is one-of-a-kind, br...
Excellent screen, unique video camera capabilities, extremely powerful
Expensive, stills camera is good, not excellent
When the XZ Premium was announced, I thought: 'oh no, Sony's gone and done it again. Big £649 price tag, unnecessarily high-resolution screen, pointless world-first accolades just to stand out, same design we've seen before… I don't think this can get the...

4K display is stunning, Great camera, Solid battery life
Design isn't the most premium, Fiddly SIM tray, Lack of 4K content lessens screen's impact
The Sony Xperia XZ Premium is a handset jam-packed full of features, and from its impressive 4K display and huge power under the hood to an excellent camera and solid battery life it has all the core ingredients of a top smartphone.The price is high, and...
Great 4K display with HDR technology, good battery life, super slow-motion feature is excellent, good overall software experience, waterproofing, cheaper than some other flagships
Design hasn't moved on much, camera isn't as good as competition, display doesn't manage well in super bright conditions, occasional lag in performance
The Sony Xperia XZ Premium is every bit the flagship smartphone in terms of spec, but it doesn't bring the same wow factor as the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S8 or LG G6.On the upside, the XZ Premium delivers a fantastic display that's perfect for enterta...
