Sony has given Android 7.1.1 a proper makeover with new functions and more Material Design options. This has become a standard among high-end devices. IP 68 is the highest level of protection against dust and the second highest for water, which means that fresh water and rain are no problem. Like its predecessor, the Xperia XZ Premium is resistant to water and dust. Nevertheless, as mentioned above, it is still nice to handle. In terms of weight the Xperia XZ Premium is the heaviest of all comparison devices with 191 grams (~6.7 oz). Our test unit's dimensions are not too impressive for a 5.5-inch device - Asus had managed to insert a 5.7-inch display into the ZenFone 3 Deluxe with very similar dimensions. This might be different with the lighter silver design. They are only visible in very light reflections and can easily be removed. Interestingly enough, the device has almost no problem with fingerprints. The Xperia XZ Premium slides easily on slanting surfaces due to its smooth exterior. Generally, the smartphone has a nice feel and the rounded edges make it very ergonomic. The transition to the smooth glass surfaces is noticeable, but not unpleasant. The top and bottom of the smartphone have a metallic finish with diamond-cut edges. Torsion resistance should be better for an expensive smartphone such as this. We had already noticed this problem in the Xperia Z5 Premium, although this time it is worse. The phone creaks when warped and the image distorts on the display.
The front and back are covered with Gorilla glass and are quite stable, although medium pressure on the front is visible in the liquid crystals. The color "Deep-sea Black" is a real looker: it changes between black, blue and green and fits to the device being "Premium". Apart from the rather large bezels, which seem a little old-fashioned, we really like the look of the XZ case. This would not have been necessary, however. Maybe Sony wanted to trick us with our vanity and make us mistake our own beauty for the beauty of the case itself. The Xperia Z5 Premium already had a back cover which you could admire yourself in the Xperia XZ Premium can also replace your pocket mirror.

We have compared the Xperia XZ Premium with the current high-end devices from other manufacturers: Apple's iPhone 7 and Samsung's Galaxy S8 Plus are the obvious choices, but the Huawei P10 Plus and Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe also offer interesting features.Īnother tradition among Sony's Premium devices is the reflective case. All this in exchange for a surcharge of $100 is not a bad deal. Compared to the Xperia XZ, our test unit also offers a faster SoC, a wider selection of bandwidths for world-wide use and more storage.

The Xperia XZ Premium also supports high-resolution audio, has improved streaming via Bluetooth and offers noise cancelling with suitable headphones. Both Samsung and LG have equipped their flagship phones with HDR-ready displays. This time, however, Sony's smartphone is not the first to offer HDR. Naturally, the Xperia XZ Premium has to outdo this and presents itself with an HDR-ready screen: with suitably optimized content, you will be able to enjoy a wider light spectrum where contrast appears higher and colors brighter.

Since then, many manufacturers have increased the resolution of their smartphone displays, but apart from Sony, nobody has really gone all the way to a full 4K display.
Then, it was the first smartphone with a 4K display. But this tradition is not that old: The Xperia Z5 Premium started the trend at the turn of the year 2015/2016. With Sony smartphones, the best you can get are usually the devices named "Premium". For the original German review, click here Test Sony Xperia XZ Premium Smartphone.
