What this means in practice is two things. First, the ability to capture super slow motion videos at 960fps (most are around 240fps), and second to capture images before you have even pressed the button. Yes, really. There’s also more power here and a bigger (though not massive) battery. Differences in the design are less striking, but there’s a sense that the XZ Premium has been further refined, and it’s certainly a good-looking phone. Around the front there’s less difference, with both phones sporting a 13MP selfie snapper. Takeaway Notable features include a 4K HDR ultra-high resolution display and slow-motion video capture at 960 frames per second. [6] Hardware [ edit ] Design and Build [ edit ] Just as before, there is a considerable amount of noise reduction artifacts even in broad daylight, which don't look good when pixel peeping at 100%. But that's our only complaint and given the high-resolution, it's hardly an issue. If you downscale those images to 12MP or less, you won't even notice these minor issues.

The Xperia XZ Premium will run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chip – the same chipset that's expected to be found in the Samsung Galaxy S8 and one of the most powerful mobile processors around. TRILUMINOS Display for mobile with X-Reality for mobile, Dynamic Contrast Enhancement, sRGB 138%, 806 ppi This basically has the same effect as the first procedure only that we’re trying to make sure the combination is done correctly. Holding down the Volume Up button before the Power key has a different effect than doing it otherwise. If by any chance your Sony Xperia XZ Premium is still not responding to this, then here’s the next thing you could do… PhoneDB. "Sony Xperia XZ Premium TD-LTE SO-04J / PF11 (Sony Maple SS) | Device Specs | PhoneDB". phonedb.net . Retrieved 18 June 2020.The Xperia XZ Premium is the second phone with a 4K (2160p) display, the first one being the Xperia Z5 Premium. But unlike the latter, the Xperia XZ Premium has a 4K HDR display, making it the first smartphone to feature such a display. It is HDR10 compliant, but has no Dolby Vision support. The 5.5in (140mm) IPS LCD screen has a pixel density of 806 ppi when rendered in 4K resolution and features Sony's TRILUMINOS display and X-Reality for mobile technology. There is a lot of innovation going under the hood. Instead of the usual 2-layer design, the new camera features a RAM chip sandwiched right in between the sensor and control circuitry layers. This serves as and ultra large and ultra fast buffer where the camera can temporary offload photos or video without the need for waiting to store everything in the permanent storage. That has a number of benefits. Most high-end smartphones and many mid-range smartphones made over the last two-ish years support "HD voice", but network support varies considerably. The camera on the Xperia XZ also sounds more promising, and at the very least it will be a lot of fun for fans of slow-mo. Choose the Erase device option and follow the on-screen instructions. Remember that this action will delete all user data on the internal memory of your device.

You might rightly be asking why this is the case – and the answer would be battery life. Rendering 4K resolution every waking minute would absolutely decimate battery life, so instead you’ll see native 4K resolution in certain instances: when watching native 4K resolution videos in the pre-installed Sony app, for example. The Xperia XZ Premium uses Sony's latest camera UI. You change modes by swiping up and down (or left and right, if you're holding it in portrait). Intelligent Auto will probably be the main mode you use, and it defaults at 17MP 16:9 resolution, so you may want to opt for the 19MP maximum by switching to the native 4:3 aspect of the sensor.

But where Sony really wants to stand out is with its camera. The headline feature is its 960fps slow-motion capabilities for dramatic videos. This by far eclipses the slow-motion available on other handsets, which typically tops out at 240fps. Unfortunately, this alone isn’t enough to make the Xperia XZ Premium stand out in a competitive crowd. Sony Xperia XZ Premium – Display

Of course, that all comes at a cost, and the Sony Xperia XZ is still an accomplished, fairly recent flagship, so you’ll have to think about whether these differences really matter to you, or whether you’d rather save a chunk of cash and opt for the standard model.

Officially called Motion Eye, the Xperia XZ Premium has a 19 MP 1/2.3” Exmor RS for mobile sensor with a 1.22 μm pixel pitch, f/2.0 aperture and 25 mm wide G Lens. It also features 4K video recording, which supports SteadyShot video stabilization alongside the standard 1080p/30 fps and high-speed 1080p/60fps and a 120 fps recording in 720p options. The front selfie camera has a 13 megapixel sensor (1/3.06") with 22mm, f/2.0 lens and 90-degree wide angle lens, same as the Xperia XZ but now features SteadyShot with Intelligent Active Mode (5-axis stabilization) like on the XZs. The major change, though, comes in the corners - the softness we experienced with so many Xperia smartphones is now gone. The XZ Premium photos have as sharp and detailed corners as their center, and that's an excellent improvement over the past Xperia phones, XZs included. Leo Kelion (27 February 2017).
