The display technology is a step forward for the mobile phone industry. The Xperia Z5 Premium's screen looks gorgeous
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
The Z5 Premium was a bit of a let-down. It's a good phone, sure, but it doesn't justify its high cost. If you're choosing between the Xperia Z5 and the Xperia Z5 Premium, then our advice is to save yourself the cash and go for the Z5. It may be “only” 108...
Great specs; Feels excellent in the hands; One of the best mobile screens you'll ever see; Upgradeable storage; Pretty much water-proof; Arrives with a pair of noise-cancelling in-earphones; Can play high-resolution audio; Able to control a PlayStation 4
Still the odd bug slowing it down; Camera still loads slowly; Camera performance could be a little better in low-light; Gets very toasty to hold;
Easily Sony's best phone of the year, the Z5 Premium may make it into the list for the best phone of the year, offering a solid version of Android, a ton of features, and one of the most lovely screens you'll ever see. Simply put, this phone is a return t...
Abstract: Physically the iPhone is the heaviest of the bunch at 192g, with the Z5 at 180g and the G4 and Edge+ much lighter at 155g and 153g. The iPhone is also the tallest and widest of the four, despite the fact that they all sport identically-sized 5.5-inch scre...
First smartphone in the world with a 4K screen, Stereo front firing speakers, Top-tier computing innards, 23MP primary camera, Finger scanner, Water and dust resistant, Commendable battery life
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...
This is pretty much a phone to garner headlines... but that doesn't mean you're getting a bad smartphone underneath...

Abstract: The Sony Z5 Premium has taken some time to get here. Unlike its smaller Xperia brethren, which arrived in South Africa last year, the 5.5" Premium only landed more recently. As such, it's going up against some tough competition, with the Galaxy S7 edge (review) and LG G5 (review) already setting a high standard for Android devices. The Z5 Premium does, however, have one trick up its sleeve - a 4K display. Is this enough though?...
Abstract: B lame it on the likes of OnePlus, Xiaomi, Lenovo and co, but any phone that is released with a price tag in excess of Rs 30,000 these days has its task cut out in terms of justifying what it's delivering for that much. And one of the latest to be placed...
Good, crisp display, Excellent audio, Good camera, Decent performance
Poor battery, Lack of grip on sides, Mirror back, Expensive
The Sony Xperia Z5 Premium is good smartphone - well-built, well designed, a good camera, good performance, excellent audio, and poor battery backup. Unfortunately, it simply does not justify the price tag of Rs. 58,190. The iPhones, Galaxys and Notes are...
