![]() It may have limited use for some, but it’s an easy way to get an overview of your habits and could help you cut down on unhelpful hobbies (like gaming) and concentrate more on exercising. However, unlike many of the other Android UIs, we’re a fan of the tweaks and features that Sony has brought to the OS.įirst up is Lifelog – it’s an app that can measure almost everything about your day-to-day life, from how long you spend walking and travelling to how long you spend using WhatsApp or Snapchat every day. The Sony Xperia XZ Premium ships with Android 7.1.1 Nougat, although it’s not a vanilla implementation – it features Sony’s own UI, something featured on a fraction of Android smartphones compared to those that launched a few years ago. It scored higher not only in Car Chase (25fps vs 21fps) but Manhattan 3.1 too (42fps vs 40fps), and matched the 60fps of T-Rex. Rather impressively, it seems the Xperia XZ Premium is also marginally better in this department than the Galaxy S8. Generally speaking, the Xperia XZ is one of the most powerful smartphones on the market at the moment – at least according to benchmarks.Īlong with Geekbench 4, we also ran a series of GFXBench tests to test the graphical power of the smartphone. In fact, the Xperia scored a little higher in both the multi-core component (6475 vs 6106) and in the single-core test (1923 vs 1915), although the difference in performance is so small that it wouldn’t be noticeable for most. ![]() Performance and benchmark resultsĪccording to our Geekbench 4 benchmark results, performance is very much the same as that of the Galaxy S8, which isn’t entirely surprising as they both use the same chipset. Plenty of specs from its predecessor remain including the fingerprint scanner built into the home button on the side of the smartphone, USB-C (now v3.1), NFC and Bluetooth 4.2. Snapdragon 835 uses a 10nm process and offers better performance and battery life when compared to the previous generation – and it provides a noticeable difference. Samsung Galaxy S8, Sony has put it inside the Xperia XZ Premium alongside 4GB of RAM and an Adreno 540 GPU. Battery life and connectivityĭespite rumours of Qualcomm’s latest chip being reserved for the If anything, we found the Xperia XZ Premium’s display to be a little too over the top at times due to the intense colours displayed, although that’s more of a personal issue and Sony does provide different display options for those that prefer something a little more subtle. However, there’s a catch: you can only take advantage of HDR with selected titles on Amazon Prime Video like The Grand Tour and The Man in the High Castle. Sony says HDR provides better colour, contrast and detail, something that we can vouch for after spending time with the smartphone. But when extreme lighting conditions are present – low light or heavy backlight – don’t expect the camera to do so well.The Sony Xperia XZ Premium supports 4K HDR like many modern TVs and lends technology from Sony’s own Bravia range. It also excels in quick autofocus, and the video which allows for super slow motion mode. So the verdict on the Sony Xperia XZ Premium? The camera gives great images in well-lighted situations. The best Android phone camera still belongs to the Google Pixel and the HTC U11 and the XZ Premium just edged last year’s Samsung Galaxy S7. That said, it has a ways to go to compare with the great ones – where Apple’s iPhone 8 Plus currently sits at the top of the pile. The XZ Premium gets a total score of 83, landing it in the top 10 phones DxOMark has reviewed. With lowlight situations, the camera also struggles. But with heavily backlit situations, the sensor has trouble dealing with too much light, producing flares. ![]() And in well lighted situations, the camera will give you crisp and sharp images. ![]() The Sony Xperia XZ Premium boasts of a 19MP Sony IMX camera sensor with its patented Motion eye system, electronic image stabilization, and predictive phase detection. ![]()
