And it's something I didn't think we'd see for at least another year. Sony has managed to cheat a little by not making it an always 4K d

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
Fingerprint reader The fingerprint reader is a nice thing to have, and putting it in the power button is smart, Battery life Two solid days of moderate use. Seven hours of screen time in a single heavy day is possible, Build quality Waterresistant design
Display again Almost never runs at 4K resolution. Causes streaming apps to max out at 1080p
You're looking at about $700 to get your hands on this phone, and that's not even for a North American version with proper warranty support. I'm not sure what Sony's plans are for the Z5 series going forward, but it would be nice to at least have the opti...
Pretty good looking, Decent camera, Great fingerprint scanner
Complete lack of 4K content made available by Sony, Glossy fingerprint magnet, Far too expensive for what you actually get over the other Z5 phones
Anyone hoping for a real wow factor with this phone based on the specs or the marketing hype will be sadly disappointed. While the Z5 Premium isn't a bad phone by any stretch, it simply doesn't live up to that hype or the pretty steep retail price. With U...
Great design and finish, Above average battery life, Outstanding chipset, Good camera, 4k display impressive in some instances
4k display limited to multimedia, It's a fingerprint magnet, Some display colors off by default, Expensive
The Sony Xperia Z5 Premium's biggest draw is the 4K display, which separates it from every other phone on the market. Otherwise, specs are very similar to the Xperia Z5, and they are solid.Because the 4K display is difficult to discern from the Z5's lower...
This is the third Xperia Z5 smartphone I have reviewed this year, and it is undoubtedly the best yet, making it arguably the best Xperia smartphone Sony have ever made. It's a good-looking phone, if not a little polarizing with its faux-chrome aestheti...
Abstract: Pro BMX biker Kriss Kyle navigates a complex series of colorful loops and platforms, set against a seemingly endless void of black. With every perfect landing, my heart sinks. I'm watching Kaleidoscope , a gorgeous promotional video made by Red Bull and S...
4K display is a compromise, Glass back scratches easily, Sony UI can be sluggish, Camera can be hit and miss
The world's first 4K smartphone isn't without its compromises. But like any first-generation product, Sony had to start somewhere and the Xperia Z5 Premium is a smartphone that's capable of matching most, if not all, of the best handsets on the market...
Bright display, easy to read under sunlight, Dustand waterresistant (IP68), Outstanding battery life
Camera could be better, The user interface needs a refresh, Weak speakers that lack in depth, Bulky
Thus far, we strayed away from discussing whether or not 4K on a smartphone's display is a good idea, and for a reason. It all boils down to two arguments – on one side, one can say that it's overkill, the improvement in details is barely noticeable, if a...

4K screen (even if only for bragging rights, at the moment), beautiful screen, snappy performance, good battery life, chrome finish will turn heads, excellent build quality and materials, IP 65/68 rating
really expensive, fingerprint scanner isn't as reliable as competitors', camera could be better, low headphone volume, mediocre speaker performance, some bundled apps crash, chrome unit is a fingerprint magnet, no headphones bundled (region dependent),
The Sony Xperia Z5 Premium isn't for everyone. We wouldn't recommend getting it for the 4K screen alone, as chances are you will not see a difference between the Z5P and a similar-sized QuadHD phone. If, however, you wanted a larger Xperia, the Z5 Prem...
Abstract: When Sony's Z5 Premium was announced, it stirred a lot of debate. A phone with a 4K screen? Why?At a time when people can barely find stuff to watch on a 4K TV, was a smartphone with a 4K display even necessary? Maybe not, but that didn't deter Sony, whic...
Sony's Xperia Z5 Premium has a gorgeous, pin-sharp screen, it's powerful, packs a solid camera and won't die when you spill your drink on it
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
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...
