Sony Xperia XZ Premium 64 GB 5.5-Inch UK SIM-Free Smartphone - Black

Product Information

Starting our Android™ 8.0 Oreo rollout, with Xperia XZ Premium - Sony Mobile Blog". sonymobile.com. 23 October 2017. First off, if you dropped your phone on a hard surface or used it underwater for a while and then this problem started, then you might be looking at a possible physical or liquid damage. In this case, you should bring the phone to the service center so that the technician can do whatever it is that needed to be done to salvage your phone. I understand that Xperia XZ Premium has the IP68 rating but bear in mind that such certification is only for dust and water resistance; your device is resistant to water for a given period of time but given the right circumstances, there’s still a chance that water can get into your phone and mess up the circuits. For one, the sensor reads out the full resolution 19MP image 5x faster, which prevents the nasty rolling shutter in photos of fast moving objects. It also enables the headline feature - 960fps HD video! Most phones manage 240fps at best, but the Motion Eye allows you to stretch time four times longer even if the stretched moment is only a second in real life.

Around the front there’s less difference, with both phones sporting a 13MP selfie snapper. Takeaway 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 Xperia XZ premium is also an extreme fingerprint magnet, looking smudged and greasy practically all the time – unless you obsessively wipe it down.Sony’s also made changes and improvements to other aspects of the camera for the XZ Premium, including the Motion Eye sensor, which is designed to capture images before you even press the shutter button, so you never miss a shot. It works fairly well on both phones, but is five times faster at processing images on the XZ Premium. PhoneDB.

Sony has made some significant changes to the camera on the Xperia XZ Premium, starting with the megapixel count, which it’s dropped to 19MP from 23MP on the standard XZ. The Sony Xperia XZ Premium is an improvement over the Xperia XZ in almost all the ways that matter, on paper, at least. 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.

The highlight of the new features is, of course, the 960fps slow-mo video recording, but we'll discuss this in our video chapter. Daylight image quality The panorama quality is good - there are no stitching traces (excluding the moving cars). The resolved detail isn't on par with the still images, but it's still satisfying. The colors and contrast, as well as the dynamic range are good. My desk at home is one of those space-saving flip-up desks, which I assume isn’t perfectly level when flipped down; the phone has fallen off it countless times. I haven’t encountered such issues with any other handset I’ve used. 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.Sony went with a slightly lower resolution for this IMX400 Exmor RS sensor (previous models were at 23MP), but have kept the same physical dimensions, so this has resulted into the pixels being 19% bigger.

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.

The new XZ flagships, XZ Premium included, seriously increase the resolution - up to 4000px vertically, while the previous phones were only capable of panoramic images that are up to 1000px in height. Also, you can stop the panorama at any time you like, while older phones used to get confused if you don't do the full 360 degrees (which was a minor thing, but annoying all the same). 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. Martonik, Andrew (27 February 2017).

So it remains to be seen which will win out here, but the Xperia XZ Premium has one thing that will likely work in its favor – the brand-new Snapdragon 835 chipset, which is more power efficient than the older Snapdragon 820 at the heart of the Xperia XZ.Sign in to the Google account that is registered on your smartphone. (The Google account you used to set up your phone). We expected the Xperia XZ Premium to snap identical 19MP samples with the Xperia XZs, but that was not the case. The Xperia XZ Premium images turned out better than the ones by the XZs. Train tray tables have also posed a problem; the phone even fell off the top of a cup on which I’d casually decided to rest it without any thought. TRILUMINOS Display for mobile with X-Reality for mobile, Dynamic Contrast Enhancement, sRGB 138%, 806 ppi That’s probably a good thing, because the Xperia XZ’s megapixel count feels like overkill, and while you can take great snaps on it, rival handsets like the Samsung Galaxy S7 and iPhone 7 with far lower megapixel cameras have it beat.

VoLTE natively supports "HD voice", so the networks usually just say "VoLTE", rather than "VoLTE with HD voice" or similar. Leave the phone connected to its charger for at least 10 minutes regardless whether it’s responding to it or not. The Motion Eye camera also has a new feature called Predictive Capture. When it detects fast-paced movement, the camera automatically captures a maximum of four photos before the shutter button is pressed, and lets the user select the best one afterwards. This is done without any user intervention and is possible due to the same built-in RAM chip on the image sensor used in capturing the 960 fps super slow-motion videos.
