Sony Xperia Z5 Premium review Comments

I don't care about 4K seeing how minimal the differences are in visual quality and how they affect processing.
What I don't understand is, what GSMArena thinks on the HighRes Audio?
They say it boosts quality by increasing the refresh rate... This is just like upscaling an image, right? No visible benefit actually?
But, they could have a benefit if, in image scaling they have an "average pixel" with values from its surrounding pixels. I think a similar thing must be used in Z5 to upscale audio, but I don't understand why isn't the audio quality class leading now?
Samsung, HTC, Apple, Nokia, etc. Damn even Xiaomi with their Redmi 2 have shown us classic audio quality examples.
So, why not Sony, which should be an Ace here?

I love the reviews but all of the benchmarks and diagrams are jibberish to me , I would prefer a simplified version in the lines of : faster than XX phones but slower than XX phone , overall above (or under ) average. same for audio quality , speakers are loud and sounds good or volume is disappointing and distortions could be eared. Or you could do like the screen test and battery test pictures witch are very understandable. in the end it would give us a good idea of the phone's performance. Overall everything else is great . also, are you guys from the U.S or Russia , I checked the pictures taken from the phone and found myself confused with the signalization . although this is not a complaint just an interrogation .

meh, 26 Nov 2015Because thay realize 4k is useless. sam's spen and appl's force touch display are much usefull... moreSpen is useless to me, I usually use finger to swipe phone, I don't draw a lot in such a small screen, I don't use that fancy features too.
3D touch is a fancy features but this just same as the "touch and hold" function and this is not cool.
4K display is the king of display, because it superb image quality for your amazing record memories.

AnonD-362866, 26 Nov 2015I doubt anyone would be streaming 4k content, and who in the world watches their own recording... moreso when will the market need it? when apple tells you? it has playstation streaming so it can definitely use the 4k

It's just for few days (3 tops) and it will go back to normal. This is not a 'stupid' new review system. See these as multiple polls, not new features. We are not changing anything, we are just collecting data for a short period of time.
We got lots of complaints about people not reading our message in the beginning of the review. And the polls are beginning to makes sense, don't they?
Cheers,
Kyle

So the only thing "premium" about this phone is price. Battery life results are mediocre, the phone heats up significantly... just like my old Z3C it used to pick up heat the moment you touch it, no matter what. Camera is still not improved, and overall not premium by any means.

There are no 4K display in future for IPhone and Samsung phone, because they are late and they even can't manage battery life for the 4K display at this moment.
What can do they do?
Trolling only lol.

Anonymous, 26 Nov 2015Impressive but no matter how fan you are of Sony, you have to think hard, is it any better ive... moreYou are kidding me right?
S6 edge+ 64 gb version (no expandability) costs about the same as this Z5 Premium, that accepts sd cards up to 200 gb (50$) providing you with 220 gb of total space...
Note 5 64 gb ( no expandability) costs more than z5 Premium...
So what you get for 850$ ?
Either Z5 premium with 220 gb storage
Or s6 edge + with 64 gb storage for 50$ less,
Or Note 5 with 64 gb storage
Be wise to pick...
For me there is no question about it. Z5 premium without a second thought.

For the naive disadvantage commentsÂ…
-Why use 4K for all the content? Do you really crazy for 4K? But why you can said there are no different between 2k and 4k? Are you self-contradictory!
-The waterproof is for smart people, I wash my phone everyday no problem at all, all the bacteria wash away too.
-Iphone and Samsung also have use the non-removable battery, so is no a big deal.the reviewer prefer a wireless charger, but it is fine with wire, wire or wireless charging? Don't nitpicking okay?
-I really don't use the IR blaster, why should the IR blaster is important for the reviewer? To me the IR blaster is a garbage in the device.

using this phone for about 3 weeks and i found that the screen backlit led on the top and right of the screen is noticeably bright while showing white or light colour contents and also the grid patterns on the touch panel is so annoying while using the phone under strong light

I said it before, the whole 810 bad reputation is based on true facts but, Z5 series really don't overheat. They get warm yes, and a lot but nowhere near an overheating level.
Think it like a good little heater for your hands during winter, just start toying with the camera and within 3mins the phone will be warm.
Call me paranoid, but the heat is welcome to me if it's at reasonable levels, and it is. Without underclocking the SOC!
