Product Information

TRILUMINOS Display for mobile with X-Reality for mobile, Dynamic Contrast Enhancement, sRGB 138%, 806 ppi The Xperia XZ Premium uses Sony's latest camera UI. You change modes by swiping up and down (or left and right, if you're holding it in portrait). Intelligent Auto will probably be the main mode you use, and it defaults at 17MP 16:9 resolution, so you may want to opt for the 19MP maximum by switching to the native 4:3 aspect of the sensor.

Train tray tables have also posed a problem; the phone even fell off the top of a cup on which I’d casually decided to rest it without any thought.

The Motion Eye camera also has a new feature called Predictive Capture. When it detects fast-paced movement, the camera automatically captures a maximum of four photos before the shutter button is pressed, and lets the user select the best one afterwards. This is done without any user intervention and is possible due to the same built-in RAM chip on the image sensor used in capturing the 960 fps super slow-motion videos. Sony has made some significant changes to the camera on the Xperia XZ Premium, starting with the megapixel count, which it’s dropped to 19MP from 23MP on the standard XZ. This basically has the same effect as the first procedure only that we’re trying to make sure the combination is done correctly. Holding down the Volume Up button before the Power key has a different effect than doing it otherwise. If by any chance your Sony Xperia XZ Premium is still not responding to this, then here’s the next thing you could do… For one, the sensor reads out the full resolution 19MP image 5x faster, which prevents the nasty rolling shutter in photos of fast moving objects. It also enables the headline feature - 960fps HD video! Most phones manage 240fps at best, but the Motion Eye allows you to stretch time four times longer even if the stretched moment is only a second in real life.

So it’s not just bigger, but also far, far sharper. It can also show off HDR content, and our early impressions of the screen are positive, with the display (at least in the demo we saw) showing off strong colors and clarity, though resolution aside the Xperia XZ has a quality screen too and can pump out a lot of brightness. Battery video recording, 720p 960 fps super slow motion video recording, SteadyShot with Intelligent Active Mode (5-axis stabilization)This is surely the single biggest difference between the Sony Xperia XZ and the Sony Xperia XZ Premium, as while the standard Xperia XZ has a 5.2-inch 1080 x 1920 display, the Sony Xperia XZ Premium has a 5.5-inch 4K screen – a resolution which is almost unheard of on a smartphone.

It supersedes the Xperia Z5 Premium and it was Sony's latest flagship after the Xperia XZ and before Sony Xperia XZ2. There’s also more power here and a bigger (though not massive) battery. Differences in the design are less striking, but there’s a sense that the XZ Premium has been further refined, and it’s certainly a good-looking phone. The aperture is one thing that hasn't changed for quite some time - it's still f/2.0, not the brightest out there, but it's really okay. Camera UI and features XB (26 May 2017). "Xperia XZ Premium Dual has a hybrid SIM tray after all". Xperia Blog . Retrieved 27 May 2017. So it remains to be seen which will win out here, but the Xperia XZ Premium has one thing that will likely work in its favor – the brand-new Snapdragon 835 chipset, which is more power efficient than the older Snapdragon 820 at the heart of the Xperia XZ.My desk at home is one of those space-saving flip-up desks, which I assume isn’t perfectly level when flipped down; the phone has fallen off it countless times. I haven’t encountered such issues with any other handset I’ve used. Around the front there’s less difference, with both phones sporting a 13MP selfie snapper. Takeaway The big selling point is the 5.5-inch 4K HDR screen. Currently, content that can fully take advantage of this is limited, but it’s growing all the time, and this is a huge jump from the 1080p display of the Sony Xperia XZ, as well as being bigger. Of course, that all comes at a cost, and the Sony Xperia XZ is still an accomplished, fairly recent flagship, so you’ll have to think about whether these differences really matter to you, or whether you’d rather save a chunk of cash and opt for the standard model.
