High-quality screen ; Good performance ; Expandable memory

Camera speed and low-light quality doesn't match best ; Expensive ; 4K display not much use ; Screen-on battery life worse than previous years

Huge 4K display ; Impressive finger scanner ; Great camera set up

Poor battery life ; Lacklustre design ; Cumbersome for some

Sony has done it – here's the first phone to ever have a 4K display and it's unsurprisingly stunning. But in the search for a headline feature, Sony has managed to miss the mark on a few of the basics that could have made this a fantastic phone.

Sharp screen with 4K capability ; Vibrant but balanced colour palette ; Detailed, punchy audio ; Fast performance ; Good fingerprint scanner

4K screen capabilities largely unused ; Camera could be better ; Expensive

A good all-round performer, but the Z5 Premium needs more 4K mobile content for its USP to really make sense

Great camera ; Waterproof

Battery not long-lasting ; Overheats with gaming

Display will make movies look great, waterproofing, microSD card slot, good battery performance

Camera is slow, lots of bloatware, some software changes are for the worse, design isn't as premium as some rivals

Feels expensive ; Handy waterproofing ; High-quality screen

Quite bulky ; Most rivals have better low-light photo quality ; 4K display is largely meaningless

Big, powerful and certainly ‘Premium’, but it’s not a Samsung-killer.

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.

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.

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.

Slick design ; Great camera ; Sharp, attractive screen

Expensive ; Battery life suffers ; 4K offers no real advantage

Sony’s Xperia Z5 Premium is the biggest of the new Xperia Z5 family and also a moment in history, thanks to that world-first 4K screen. In truth it’s more of a pub brag than a genuinely useful feature, but the Premium is still a solid media machine...
