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

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

Don't be tempted by the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium's attention-grabbing 4K screen. You can spend less money on a better all-round flagship phone...
Sony has done something impressive here by including the first ever 4K display on a smartphone, but it wasn't exactly necessary. It may sound exciting and for those early tech adopters it'll be on the top of a lot of must have lists… but when you consider...

SONY HAS UNVEILED its latest top-end smartphone, the Xperia Z5 Premium, which it is touting as the "world's first 4K smartphone". The Sony Xperia Z5 Premium has the same dust-tight, waterproof design and cap-less USB port as it predecessor, the Xperia Z3...

Abstract: The world's first 4K phone has arrived, and we've had a play - jealous much? Featuring a 5.5-inch 4K display, the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium is kicking smartphone screen resolutions on to unrivalled levels.The 3840 x 2160 pixel panel at the heart of this over...

The world's first 4K smartphone doesn't quite deliver in the way we'd hoped, that doesn't mean it's not a great phone. Once 4K content for mobile arrives, this sort of device will make much more sense.Right now, with its USP largely underused, this is bas...
Abstract: Sony describes its Omnibalance design as “minimalist”, which I think is fairly spot-on really, again it's pretty much a return of the glass front and back surrounded by a narrow aluminium frame. The changes to the design are a fairly light touch; things l...

Sony's designated Premium smartphone turns out to be a bigger twin of the Xperia Z5 with the same technological basis apart from the screen.Buyers willing to pay approximately 150 Euros (~$164) more for a 0.3-inch bigger screen than in the smaller sister...
