Customers looking for a new smartphone with a checklist of features will find the Z5 Premium easily stands up against its competitors. In some areas it exceeds other devices on the market. With the Z5 Premium, Sony has taken an interesting approach – and it's all in the name. Premium.
Rewind to the end of 2014 and the start of 2015, and Sony's Xperia Z3 found much favour with us at Ausdroid. The standard "full size" unit was a firm favourite with Chris, and the Z3 Compact found itself my phone of choice for several months.
- Extremely comfortable and playfully chunky Compact hardware
- Excellent fingerprint reader with smart placement (though not so good for off-hand use
- Learn the quirks and it'll serve you well
- The camera isn't as good as Sony would like us to believe
- Neither is the battery life – power users need to carry a power pack or have a charger on hand
- Inexcusable pauses and slowdowns
- despite updates in the interim
- Rear lip is a turn-off on the standard and Premium units

Sony Xperia Z5 Premium review
A 4K smartphone might seem like something you want but you really don't need it and it's an expensive card to play in order to trump your mates. The device is also big, uncomfortable and brash. Hardware is the same as the regular Z5 so it really comes down to the screen, which doesn't even display 4K much of the time. We strongly recommend steering clear of the Premium which is this year's most unnecessary phone and sticking to the regular Z5 or one its alternatives.
