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.

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.
Pros:
  • 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.
Cons:
  • 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...

Not worth the price tag

Don't get me wrong this is a gorgeous phone, but not worth the price. The 4K screen is a nice novelty, but it does take a toll on the battery life. I got nowhere near the 2 days (even with stamina mode) that Sony claimed, it only just gets me through the day.
Pros:
  • Screen Quality
  • SD Card slot
  • Camera
  • Waterproof
Cons:
  • Battery Life
  • Price
  • Size
  • Glass back

Sony Xperia Z5 Premium - Marketing over matter

Sony's Xperia Z5 Premium takes the honour of being the world's first smartphone to feature a 4K display. Squeezing over eight million pixels into a 5.5-inch screen is an impressive feat, but it feels like Sony's engineers never asked themselves if they should.
Pros:
  • Water resistance
  • Side-facing fingerprint reader is great
  • 4K screen is kinda cool
Cons:
  • Only two apps can utilise 4K resolutions
  • Inconsistent camera
  • Dated design

It is the first smartphone to sport a 4K display. And backs it up with best of class specifications. But will that be enough for the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Dual to knock out some very intense competition.

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.
Pros:
  • Pretty good looking
  • Decent camera
  • Great fingerprint scanner
Cons:
  • 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
