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

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

Massively powerful Snapdragon 810 processor, Great 3GB RAM, Incredible 23 megapixel camera, 4K display, Surprisingly long battery life, Great OS and power saver features, Good connectivity
Boxy design, Mirror-polished back looks a bit gaudy, Dimmer than expected display graphics, expensive

Sony's Xperia Z5 Premium is the biggest of the new Xperia Z5 family and also a moment in history, thanks to that world-first 4K screen. In truth it's more of a pub brag than a genuinely useful feature, but the Premium is still a solid media machine that a...
Huge 4K display, Impressive finger scanner, Great camera set up
Poor battery life, Lacklustre design, Cumbersome for some
Sony has done it – here's the first phone to ever have a 4K display and it's unsurprisingly stunning. But in the search for a headline feature, Sony has managed to miss the mark on a few of the basics that could have made this a fantastic phone...
After using this phone for an extended period, I was able to test whether the differently-sized bezel was annoying me due to teething issues or was something that I was unable to overcome in the long run. While the great internal hardware specifications...

Extremely comfortable and playfully chunky Compact hardware, Excellent fingerprint reader with smart placement (though not so good for offhand use), Learn the quirks and it'll serve you well
The camera isn't as good as Sony would like us to believe, Neither is the battery life – power users need to carry a power pack or have a charger on hand, Inexcusable pauses and slowdowns, despite updates in the interim, Rear lip is a turnoff on the stand
The Xperia Z5 is a conundrum, and that conundrum is the reason this review has taken so long for us to put together. Rather than just marking the phone as a “don't buy”, I think it's worth taking some time to figure out why you would and wouldn't buy the...
4K display when it's in use, Commendable performance, Fast fingerprint reader, THE
Gaming is handled with near ease when experiencing titles like GTA: Vice City, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath and Riptide GP2, all while set at their absolute highest graphic qualities. Frames are maintained well a majority of the time, which is commendable
Sony's Xperia Z5 Premium is the real flagbearer for the Xpreia line of smartphones, despite sharing part of its name with two other Z5 handsets. It's a shame then that it doesn't manage to leave the sort of lasting impression it sets out to.In many ways i...

The high resolution display is stunning with good colour and contrast. The dedicated hard shutter button is useful, making it slightly less likely that a pinky will cover the lens. Image quality is generally good and casts well to a 4K television.
The phone is not comfortable to hold because it is large and has sharp edges. In auto mode the camera over exposes
