Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Hands-on, First Impressions: Does the 4K Display Really Make A Difference?
We go hands-on with Sony's Xperia Z5 Premium! In today's world having a QHD display resolution is almost mandatory for flagships. Sure, there are a few brands that stubbornly stick with plain ol' full HD, but QHD is where it's at.
Premium Definition
Sony's flagships have always been playing off each other in a nice but, after a certain point, rather repetitive way. When Sony decided to pass on QHD-screens, it looked like it had the right reasons to keep up with 1080p for flagship generations on end.

Goondu review: Sony Xperia Z5 Premium
The inevitable question for anyone trying out Sony's Xperia Z5 Premium is whether the much-touted 4K screen is any good. Is there a difference, you'd ask.

Reviewed: The Sony Xperia Z5 Premium\n
Anyone hoping for a real wow factor with this phone based on the specs or the marketing hype will be sadly disappointed. While the Z5 Premium isn't a bad phone by any stretch, it simply doesn't live up to that hype or the pretty steep retail price.- Pretty good looking
- Decent camera
- Great fingerprint scanner
- Complete lack of 4K content made available by Sony
- Glossy fingerprint magnet
- Far too expensive for what you actually get over the other Z5 phones
Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Review: Living Life In (Sort Of) 4K
You're looking at about $700 to get your hands on this phone, and that's not even for a North American version with proper warranty support. I'm not sure what Sony's plans are for the Z5 series going forward, but it would be nice to at least have the option of buying one here.- Fingerprint reader The fingerprint reader is a nice thing to have, and putting it in the power button is smart, Battery life Two solid days of moderate use
- Seven hours of screen time in a single heavy day is possible, Build quality Water-resistant design with metal frame.
- Display again Almost never runs at 4K resolution
- Causes streaming apps to max out at 1080p, Snapdragon 810 It gets warm and throttles, but not as badly as some other phones, Buttons The volume rocker is too low on the body of the phone to be used comfortably, Design Sony's phones all have this same...
Blame 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.
