The first XZ Premium thread

4k hdr phone. Is it overkill?

This is going to be an expensive phone, I'm guessing around $850

it wont be an overkill when it will be used for VR... which suspicously not given attention at all.

as for the price it will surely cost an arm and leg , maybe a kidney or two... 😕

I can't wait to get mine, I miss my Z5p every day and the 4k is amazing on photo viewing and video playback.
I'll be pairing mine up with my phantom 4 pro for reviewing the 4k/60fps video, and on my osmo mobile for the most stable 4k and most stable true slo-mo video you can get. This phone is an absolute beast and truly a grand successor to the Z5 premium

Someone PLEASE tell me it has FM radio.. Other than that, great phone!

General Question

azzido — Mon, 27 Feb 2017 20:14:49 GMT

Hello,
does it finally has OIS? Is Sony able to upgrade the resolution of slow mode to 1080p?
How many frames it is possible to record in 1080p mode? I mean using this pre-prod software.

I hope they will include bigger battery before the release. It is kinda small.

Does this phone will finally has Radio which is missing in XZ?
Thank you.

@Nolram

I read that Google day dream wont work because LCD panels are too slow for vr or something like that. I'm not sure how true that is since I never used vr on a phone.

@viridis

What are the chances of it being sold by carriers like Tmobile and At&t?

sOc SD835 with Quick Charges 4.0 but why Sony use
Quick Charges 3.0 for this device...

Even Z5P with 4K has 3400mAh battery and
this XZP with 4K HDR only have 3230mAh....
and this device will drain battery fast.

Ninjabird7 — Mon, 27 Feb 2017 21:31:54 GMT

Yeah I'm worried about battery life but maybe Sony figured something out.

Re: The first XZ Premium thread

Xz premium 10nm drain vs Z5p 14nm drain
Xz premium battery life will be longer, ufs uses less power too.

It's good to know that the battery will last long.

Re: General Question

@azzido

It shoots 720p and 960fps which is insane but for 1080p I think it's just 60fps

Good upgrade from z5, but disappointed 😞 with the battery through, I saw what's it's got its good apart from the battery.

Re: The first XZ Premium thread

Lord_viridis — Mon, 27 Feb 2017 23:31:43 GMT

But you're forgetting that the smaller nm process will result in less power consumption, the battery life will be fine

Re: The first XZ Premium thread

Shen02 — Tue, 28 Feb 2017 10:21:30 GMT

....and why Sony choose Quick Charges 3.0?
Overall it's OK for me even the big bezel is good for gaming, watch video n record video while in hand..

BUT the battery capacity is disappointed n many people think or guest it's come with 3700mAh ~ 4000mAh coz its has 4K HDR.

Will Sony change the battery capacity before launch this device in May?

Re: The first XZ Premium thread

Lord_viridis — Tue, 28 Feb 2017 11:18:36 GMT

Honestly, look at 10nm power difference vs our current 14nm.
Gpu and cpu at 10nm deliver 25-30% more speed on 35-40% less power draw.
There is no need for a bigger battery, the one quoted will give longer life even at 4k hdr (10nm gpu is only drain regardless of screen)

Re: The first XZ Premium thread

They just compared z5 vs the xz. It's so close, but the xz is clearly the winner.

I have just looked the samples taken from XZs which uses same camera with XZ premium. They are disappointing not too much different from XZ or Z5, when you ZOOM in you can easily see the dirtiness and grain, very sad Sony. I have been waiting much more from this new sensor.

Look at the examples, better than the iPhone 7 but not as good as S7.

@Erik2017

Both displays are amazing. The XZ Premium is so vivid it could pass for an amoled display
