Sony Xperia XZ Premium review: Fast and feature-rich, but the design needs a refresh

Sony has packed the Xperia XZ Premium with features, and its general performance is exemplary. However, the two headliners -- the 4K screen resolution and 960fps super-slow-motion video -- promise more than they actually deliver.
