The latest flagship smartphone from Sony -- Xperia XZ Premium -- is quite an all rounder. Sony XPERIA XZ Premium boasts of a beautiful design and comes with a 'glass loop surface'. The 5.5-inch 4K (2,160x3,840 pixels) HDR display of the device is its key highlight and Sony claims that it is same as the one found on the company's BRAVIA TVs range. During our review, we found the images projected on Sony XPERIA XZ Premium sharp and clear. Little doubt then that watching videos and pictures on the smartphone is a treat to watch videos and 4K content on it. Besides this, the smartphone also scores reasonably well on performance front. Powered by Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 835 SoC, paired with 4GB of RAM, Sony XPERIA XZ Premium can handle multi-tasking quite smoothly. Another aspect positive is that XPERIA XZ Premium smartphone will be getting Android security patches every month (as per Sony).
