Sony Xperia Z5 Premium review: Astonishing resolution results in an astonishing price

Don't be tempted by the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium's attention-grabbing 4K screen. You can spend less money on a better all-round flagship phone. Sony's Xperia Z5 premium is the flagship phone Sony has owed us for a long time. While the standard Z5 was a fairly uninspiring reissue of the brilliant Z3, the Z5 Premium packs a bigger screen with a whopping 4K resolution, which is 3,840x2,160 pixels. It's the first phone to have a 4K resolution and it's the highest resolution I've ever seen on a phone.
Pros:
  • Sony's Xperia Z5 Premium has a gorgeous
  • pin-sharp screen
  • it's powerful
  • packs a solid camera and won't die when you spill your drink on it.
Cons:
  • Its 4K display results in a sky-high price, but the extra resolution adds nothing to the overall experience
  • Sony's familiar design is beginning to look rather tired.

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

The Xperia Z5 Premium is, according to Sony, the first smartphone with a 4K screen. This means it has an insane pixel density of 807 ppi. Its other remarkable feature is its high price. Is it justified by 4K resolution and the Z5 Premium's other features?
Pros:
  • Display quality
  • Outstanding camera
  • Quick-charging functionality
  • Water resistant
Cons:
  • High price
  • Battery capacity

Not what I expected

My main reason for buying this phone was the support for Hi Res audio as well as the desire to get away from iTunes and use a normal method for transferring and organizing my music. I am a headphone junkie and have a few pairs of high end headphones.
Pros:
  • High resolution screen
  • great battery life
Cons:
  • Sound quality not as good as advertised

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.

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.
