Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Review
Sony has gone and done it: this is the first ever 4K screen on a smartphone. That’s the big headline for the largest of the Xperia Z5 family, and it’s a truly remarkable feat from the company.
It’s no secret that Sony has been struggling in the mobile phone game for quite some time, and the Japanese company released the Xperia Z5 Premium as part of the Xperia Z5 series at the end of 2016.
Sony Xperia Z5 Premium price and release date
The Xperia Z5 Premium cost a lot when it initially launched at £579 / AU$1199 (about $953). But over a year later and you can buy the Xperia Z5 Premium for only £400 (about $480, AU$685)
Even though the Xperia Z5 Premium has been out for a long time, it’s still not available in the US and Sony hasn’t revealed why. If you live in the US you’ll be able to buy it from third-party retailers, but Sony isn’t selling the phone directly.
Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Unboxing
Design
- Large phone, which may prove too big for your hands
- Glass back design doesn’t feel as premium as hoped
- Corners are more prepared to absorb impact when you drop the phone
Sony has its own particular design philosophy, and has generally stuck to it ever since the original Xperia Z, making only minor changes with each new iteration.
