First big worry with the Sony Xperia XZ Premium. According to some users, the flagship would lose the WiFi signal for no reason, while they are quietly doing research or checking their apps.
The Sony Xperia XZ Premium, which was officially launched during the MWC, came on the market on 9 June. Tens of thousands of people hastened to get it, perhaps by following our guide of the best packages available to French operators . But if its design, power and photo quality were unanimous, some users quickly recovered a concern about WiFi connection … According to them, the Xperia XZ Premium would disconnect for no reason, Would severely disrupt navigation . For a high-end smartphone, it’s average, it must be recognized.
It was on the official forum of Sony that the first user affected by this problem, as Phonandroid relays . Under the nickname @ Eviltreebs_1412, he explained receiving regular “a message at the top of the screen asserting that his phone is offline” , even when it is located very close to its router. A problem raised by about 40 other users, and sometimes manifested in different ways … At some, the signal returns a few minutes after disappearing. Others are obliged to erase the network concerned to reinstall it. A little painful when you are quietly doing research via its smartphone. Hopefully the next Sony update will solve this concern.

Sony Xperia XZ Premium: 4K screen, photo, video and autonomy … Here is our complete test

sivertime — Fri, 09 Jun 2017 15:26:11 +0000

Available for purchase in France today, the Sony Xperia XZ Premium has it all. With its Snapdragon 835, its 4K HDR display and its 4GB of RAM, this smartphone has been tested by the editorial, and here is our verdict.
With the Xperia XZ Premium, Sony has created the sensation in the smartphone market. A situation that was no longer used to seeing with the Japanese manufacturer who has, nevertheless, always unveiled products that had everything to please. But sales never really followed the ambition of the Japanese giant. Today, Sony seems to have found the right recipe to make everyone agree: a condensed technology in a luxurious terminal . I rarely as much kiffé test a smartphone, before this Xperia XZ Premium. Brilliant like a piano at 20,000 euros, it throws even though, I would have liked that it avoids to keep the prints of all my friends …. But promised, I will not make my difficult.
Aesthetically, the Sony Xperia XZ Premium takes a bit of the visual codes of the Xperia XA1 and XA1 Ultra. With its new device, Sony Mobile has “redefined” the concept of borderless smartphone . While the Galaxy S8 and LG G6 have more than one dream with their big screens, the Xperia XZ Premium offers an edgeless finish, only on the sides. One aspect that can be called “courageous” since Sony still does not want to imitate the others . Always at the design level, the Xperia XZ Premium offers a rather unusual system to access the microSD and SIM card slots. But it is important to remember the judicious position of its fingerprint sensor. This is located on the power button of the device.
The Xperia XZ Premium is as brilliant as a piano at 20,000 euros
But what really impressed me on this smartphone is probably its photo quality, not to mention its famous 4K screen. But let’s say it once and for all, the Japanese manufacturer does not yet master the true 4K and I will come back to it later. To return to our sheep, to the picture what, bah Sony enters a new dimension with its XZ Premium . Equipped with a 19 megapixel rear sensor and a 13MP front-end sensor, the Nippon flagship is a good photophone thanks to Motion Eye technology, Super Slow motion (a slow motion ‘At 960 frames per second in High Definition) and predictive capture. But he could have called it perfection, if it had the famous optical stabilization …
The other real pleasure of this smartphone is its power. The Sony Xperia XZ Premium is a little Flash smartphone version . He’s a real racing beast. Fast and fluid, the Japanese smartphone never seems to be behind what I have just asked. And thanks to its 4 GB of RAM, the Xperia XZ Premium does not encounter any slowdown. This is one of the most reactive Android devices I’ve tested. Moving from one application to another is a real pleasure, so much so that you will not hesitate to shop from your bed.
If there is indeed a trick of egg on this new Xperia, it is its mode Super Slow Motion that allows to film up to 960 images per second . There is really no picture with the idle mode of your smartphone which usually does not exceed 240 fps. Personally, I was able to make a small video in Super Slow Motion , and the result is not bad. But in contrast the Sony flagship is not really 4K. The “jewel” from Sony displays the contents in Full HD, it only goes into 4K after 4K compatible videos are launched. This is a trick of Sony so that the battery does not empty quickly.
Equipped with a Snapdragon 835, an Adreno 530 graphics chip and 4 GB of RAM, the Xperia XZ Premium is one of the best terminals for gamers. It is not for nothing that he imposed himself before the Samsung Galaxy S8 in a Speed Test . For my part, I spent a few hours on the mobile games of the moment. Apart from a slight overheating, Sony’s newest son is doing very well. And his little overheating disappears, as soon as we stop playing. But otherwise, he does not suffer (again) from any slowdown. Level autonomy, the Xperia XZ Premium is a good student. Thanks to its 3,250 mAh battery, it can ensure a good day and a half of use.
On the interface side, Sony has not changed much with its new smartphone that comes with Android 7.1 . If you’ve already had a Sony Xperia, you will see almost no change. And if the smartphone app drawer is really cool, I struggled with the many apps pre-installed on the tel. Between the music and video players, the drawing application or the activity tracker and Xperia Lounge, I find that “it’s a lot, no” (to use this expression of 2/3 French rappers ..). What is really re-released is the impossibility of removing these pre-installed apps. Yes, you read well. We can disable oklm but they will still be in the smartphone.
And even if after 15 days, I really fell in love with the Xperia XZ Premium (which is available for purchase in France, here) and on its side waouh that leaves none of my friends indifferent, I can also him Find faults. Its ratio size / screen is not up to what can be found on the Galaxy S8 or LG G6. Its 4K is not really premium and its camera is not the best performer of the market (still efforts to do in reactivity of the sensor and distance of focus, but in general, the Xperia XZ Premium is without doubt One of the most powerful smartphones of the year So you’re going to shopper it today?

Sony Xperia XZ Premium: A day to test the smartphone, our impressions!

sivertime — Thu, 25 May 2017 13:53:12 +0000

The Xperia XZ Premium is finally available. And the editorial staff had the privilege of testing Sony’s new smartphone in preview.
OMG, I’m one of the lucky ones who will be previewing the Sony Xperia XZ Premium. This smartphone has already left me speechless in Portugal and I was able to make my first video in Super Slow Motion with the device . Today, I am still impressed. Nothing but the packaging of the latest “jewel” from Sony Mobile gives me as much thrill as a new album of Future. I carefully open the package and I can take the Xperia XZ Premium in chrome. Brilliant like a piano at 20,000 euros, it throws but good, I would have liked it avoids to keep the fingerprints of all my friends …. I will not do my difficult.
It is open. Aesthetically, the Sony Xperia XZ Premium takes a bit of the Xperia XA1 and XA1 Ultra codes. With its new smartphone, Sony has redefined the concept of borderless smartphone . At the same time as the Galaxy S8 and the LG G6 are dreaming with their screens, the Xperia XZ Premium is without edges, only on the sides. A design that can be called “courageous” since Sony is still not trying to imitate others. But on the other hand, the brilliant aspect of the smartphone leaves me a bit dubious. As much as I hiffe the mirror effect, as much I find that it is relou that the shell keeps the traces of my fingers . The Xperia XZ Premium had already been cleaned and had already been cleaned.
If the design can leave perplexing, the grip is really very cool. Pleasant, the Japanese smartphone is equipped with a jack and a USB-C jack to recharge it. But, I did not expect to have trouble inserting my SIM on this device. At a time when most smartphones offer the possibility of opening access to the microSD and SIM card slots with a simple pin, the Xperia XZ Premium has chosen a rather atypical system that seems rather fragile . But the best surprise is undoubtedly the judicious position of the fingerprint reader.
Sony has chosen an original location for its fingerprint reader
Sony has chosen to position the fingerprint reader of the Xperia XZ Premium on its power button. While most manufacturers place these sensors under the screen or on the back of their devices, this original choice of the giant Nippon can only be validated. Once the Xperia XZ Premium has been configured, I tackle the heavy subject: the camera. And there, magic operates! The colors are hallucinating, the sensor adapts to all conditions of brightness, from the sun terrace to the subway dipped in the dark.
Equipped with a 19 megapixel rear sensor and a 13 MP front-end sensor, the Xperia XZ Premium is very good in photos thanks to Motion technology, the Super Slow motion (filming directly in idle mode at 960 Images per second in High Definition) and predictive capture. Personally, I was able to make a small video in Super slow motion, and the result is not bad. But I would have to spend a little more time with this camera which is, on paper, able to shade the Galaxy S8 to gauge its limits in terms of photo.
First smartphone equipped with a 4K HDR display, the Xperia XZ Premium has nothing to envy a Bravia TV. With its 5.5 “screen, the Japanese manufacturer sells us dream, but with what content? With the series of Amazon especially since Sony teamed up with Amazon Prime Video and I will come back later after watching 2 / 3 episodes of a series, but on my first steps with this Xperia XZ Premium, I felt like I had a real racing beast , not only amazed by its more beautiful screen Than ever but in addition, it goes devilishly fast.
Moving from one application to another is a real pleasure, never seems to be behind what has just been asked. This is without a doubt one of the most responsive smartphones I could test in 2017 (and yet the Galaxy S8 + and the iPhone 7 have passed into my hands). By adapting the interface of its new jewel to that of Android, the new Xperia is as easy to use as a good old Google Nexus. Accustomed to using an iPhone 7 and a Huawei P10, I had no trouble adapting to this Xperia XZ Premium . After a rather dense day, the Sony Xperia XZ Premium displays 40% battery, which seems correct. This smartphone that is available in pre-order with a headset offered is a pleasure to use and is probably the best Sony terminal I could try. But to pronounce definitively, I will wait for my complete test.
