The
Sony XPERIA XZ2 Premium is next to the XPERIA XZ3 at the top of the famous
Japanese brand for smartphone products, but arrives a little late in the UK. It
has been on the market in the US since July, with initial uncertainty regarding
a wider rollout. It is not difficult to understand why. This is a niche
high-end handset for media consumers. The list of specifications is undoubtedly
impressive. Beyond the basic offer of the XPERIA XZ2, you get a razor-sharp 4K
display, 50% more RAM and a sophisticated dual-camera setup. All in all, the
XZ2 Premium offers an uncompromisingly powerful multimedia package. However,
the trade-off between practicality and ease of comfort is considerable.
Sony XPERIA XZ2 Premium - Design:
The
first impression is important when you switch to a new smartphone, but the
effects are often temporary. Not so with the Sony XPERIA XZ2 Premium. Normally,
you get used to the larger size of a larger phone with time and use, but that
did not happen to me with the Sony XPERIA XZ2 Premium. I jump when I pick him
up off the table or put him in a bag. To be a bit more scientific, it's 11.9mm
thick for a second, 80mm wide and weighs a whopping 236g.
Like
the normal XZ2, Sony has tried to soften these brick-like dimensions with a
curved glass back, which also makes wireless charging easier. In the more
velvety form of the XZ2, it marked a significant step in Sony's useful design
work. Here, for the most part, the very heavy phone becomes extremely slippery
and tends to shake off every time you place it on a less than flat surface. On
the back there are more design problems. The positioning of the dual camera
module, which is located far down in the device, undoubtedly helps with taking
pictures. This is also reflected in the fact that during my time with the XZ2
Premium I did not have a single finger-in-shot moment.
Sony XPERIA XZ2 Premium - Display:
The
screen of the Sony XPERIA XZ2 Premium is unusual for several reasons. The
5.8-inch IPS LCD display is one of the few mobile displays available in 4K
resolution. With 3840 x 2160 and 765 ppi, this is the pixel-strongest display
of all current Big-Hitters. This means it's the only flagship of the year 2018
that can natively render 4K video content.
This
is impressive, but more technical or behind the box than in reality. When it
comes to daily navigation, surfing the web or even watching videos and intense
gaming, it's hard to get all these extra pixels. We got used to the stretched
aspect ratio of 18: 9 (or about) as the new standard, even at the lower end of
the market. Here, however, Sony has reached the old-fashioned 16: 9.
Sony XPERIA XZ2 Premium - Performance:
If
you run a top-of-the-line Snapdragon 845 CPU with a staggering 6GB of RAM,
you'll expect the Sony XPERIA XZ2 Premium to be fast - although the 4K display
is a bit worrisome. As it turns out, there is nothing to worry about. The XZ2
Premium is a flying machine that does any job I can with ease. The general
navigation and jumping between apps was non-stop, while the fingerprint sensor
was used almost instantly to start the splash screen - if you actually manage
to put your finger on it the first time. Jumping directly to the camera app
with the physical camera button (a feature we still love) proved similarly
snappy. Plus, all the games I played on the XZ2 Premium are pretty fly. Asphalt
9 in high settings is an excellent test for any modern phone and ran flawlessly
on the Sony.
