Vineet Reddy, 12 Jun 2020You are underestimating the 4K display and the quality increase you get from it. You think it ... moreYou are greatly exaggerating your capability to see individual pixels or the raster.
I hate that PR B$, but there is a general PPI rule that does define image as sharp.
You are wasting power above certain PPI and you are wasting power with more than 300Hz screen.

Useless screen resolution, and bad 21:9 ratio. And superxpensive price for an inferior brand like this.
Too bad.. you will fail again.. sony.

You think it is not noticeable then you are wrong. Going from 2K to 4K the quality difference is noticeable as it is going from FHD to 2K. 80% of time more than 80-90% of people use the smartphone by holding it around 6" away from face and at close distance it can be easily noticeable the difference in quality.
Drigo, 12 Jun 2020And yet Sony keeps picking weird names for their flagship phones.
Imagine calling this phon... moreWell, they borrow over the naming scheme from their Sony Alpha and Cybershot RX series from 2019 since Sony Alpha teams now co-developing the new generation Xperia to bring all possible goods, especially software from their Alpha to the Xperia to showcase the technology they have and developed. That's including the naming scheme, of course, will be present here (with the format of "Sony [product] Mark [Iteration]")
I can get over with if you're not familiar with the naming scheme because the naming intended for professionalism and unorthodox for general utilization, but you should at least expect this from the beginning when the Sony Alpha teams are involved during the development of the new-gen Xperia.

There is a difference in battery size, display size, Android version, battery profiles, different brightness, different SOC, different UFS versions etc.
Yeah, sure it's all just a screen ... clever girl.
Raising resolution increases required power -> more power -> more power consumption.
Check what iPad Pro is doing and how it affects its battery life.
Bigger number mentality is just sad, it's 2020 and people still fall for it.

>>On 10" distance 4K is useless as you can't tell difference between 2K or a 4K on a 6,5" screen.
Seems you skipped your math classes.
There hasn't ever been a smartphone with a true 4k display.
Xperia XZ Premium only has 16million dots while it has to be 24 to be a 4k display.
Xperia X1 and X1 II have 12 million dots which makes their native resolution equal to 2k.
Samsung S20 has 9 millon dots which is equal to FullHD+ display.
LG G6 has 12 millon dots and it's a 2k display.
While I totally agree there is no point in 4k on a cellphone, YOU don't understand there is NO 4k on the latest Xperias, they sport native 2k whatever the marketologists say.
And yes I agree to you, 60hz scrolls slowly and jittery, and I would prefer menus to scroll faster, but it's not a tablet where you have to see the lines appear on the screen as soon as you draw them. I'll only believe that having a smoother scrolling will bring deep satisfaction to people with mind deviations. 60/90hz BSI and native 2k resolution/pentile 4k are just perfect for most people.
At last I think you don't understand how the hardware works, repeating mindlessly that 4k is a battery hog while XZP with a 4k IPS and 3230mAh has same battery life with Samsung S20 with a 2k OLED and 4000 mAh, which you can check yourself on this very website.
High Refresh Rate doubles the calculations per second, while higher resolution on a smartphone in most apps except for watching photos and gaming won't add a single % to the battery consumption since 99% graphics on a phone is in VECTOR.

Fearghast, 12 Jun 2020It's called placebo effect and you did not state what they were comparing screen to.Oh now you're talking about relative. I'm pretty sure majority of reviewers have used all types of flagships including S20 Ultra QHD+. So I'm pretty sure they know what they are talking about. What I'm not sure is, without using a 4K screen on smartphone, striking it off by saying doesn't notice any difference.

Dante101, 11 Jun 2020In that case, you are looking for the word "Mainstream" flagship... 😆 Gaming devices are also ... more"Premium Gaming smartphone"- may be. But premium flagship (By definition - Best hardware and Software). Premium doesn't just mean Expensive for one thing/feature. As I mentioned in my previous comment, It should at least meet basic stuff like latest processor, display, camera, design etc.,. Since when people calling a high refresh rates TVs as premium flagship TVs???? Doesn't make any sense. Gaming TVs/Monitors were never a premium TVs.

With 1200 euro, most people will buy 4k tv, not this phone.
And tv's audio is much much better than those tiny speakers on this phone.

Don't be silly, you or the OS settings can always go to 60 or lower when it's not needed, but you can never go up on a 60Hz screen.
On 10" distance 4K is useless as you can't tell difference between 2K or a 4K on a 6,5" screen.
Not to mention watching a movie on a smartphone with lack luster audio and comfort.
I get there are people that can't afford a TV or PC, but those people are probably not paying 1200 euro for a smarthone either.
