The good 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.
The bad 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.
The bottom line 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.
