The editors didn't like
Only occasionally 4K
Looks a bit boxy despite premium materials
The design of the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium is pretty lacklustre. There's nothing inspired
Like some of the flourishes on the Xperia Z5 – I don't understand why Sony didn't decide to frost the glass on the back
As on the main flagship
The plastic edges es
Limits on use of 4K screen
Overheating issues
Its 4K display results in a sky-high price
But the extra resolution adds nothing to the overall experience. Sony's familiar design is beginning to look rather tired
Battery life questions
Design still boxy
Battery not long-lasting
Overheats with gaming
Quite bulky
Most rivals have better low-light photo quality
4K display is largely meaningless
4K screen capabilities largely unused
Camera could be better
Expensive
Camera is slow
Lots of bloatware
Some software changes are for the worse
Design isn't as premium as some rivals
Camera speed and low-light quality doesn't match best

There's no denying that Sony was chasing headlines with the Xperia Z5 Premium. We should all applaud Sony for what is has achieved in putting a 4K display in a smartphone, but feels like this hasn't been done with the right intentions.Battery issues were...
Abstract: Back in September 2015, Sony was the first manufacturer to release a 4K smartphone. One would have thought that Samsung, LG or Motorola would have released it before Sony, as they all moved to a 2,560 x 1,440 resolution.Instead, Sony made the leap from 10...

Abstract: Here we have it ladies and gentlemen… the world's first Android phone with a UHD screen. And who'd have thought it? It's from Sony, who hasn't exactly been a trail blazer with its devices of late, with a seemingly stagnant design language, barely incremen...
Abstract: Sony recently introduced its Xperia Z5 lineup in the form of the standard Z5, a Z5 Premium, and a Z5 Compact. The superior version has attracted attention because it has a display with 4K resolution. If you've been thinking of investing in this smartphone...

Display will make movies look great, waterproofing, microSD card slot, good battery performance
Camera is slow, lots of bloatware, some software changes are for the worse, design isn't as premium as some rivals
The Sony Xperia Z5 Premium is an interesting smartphone. It's launched with fanfare, but only really puts a higher resolution display on the front of the experience you'll get from the regular model. If you're after the Xperia experience in a larger...

Only occasionally 4K, looks a bit boxy despite premium materials
The Xperia Z5 Premium is only a part-time 4K device, but it still merits applause for moving Sony's smartphone range line forward where the Xperia Z5 did not. The display alone might not make the £80 price difference a worthwhile expense, but combined wit...
A 4K smartphone might seem like something you want but you really don't need it and it's an expensive card to play in order to trump your mates. The device is also big, uncomfortable and brash. Hardware is the same as the regular Z5 so it really comes dow...

The Sony Xperia Z5 Premium is a fine phone that you'll be very happy with. It's hard to avoid giving it a wholehearted endorsement, except for one vital detail: substantially, it's no better than the Sony Xperia Z5.The specifications, the performance, the...
