This phone will be amazing for youtube 3d coming later this year. I saw a demo at google io this year and it was amazing even with the low resolution of the nexus 6.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] dexterxda:
I want one (providing the s810 doesn't ruin it). From what I 've read, it will upscale lower resolutions content.

I did pre-order this but I shall wait for the reviews to come in before I actually purchase it. Z3 was the best phone I have ever owned and changing to S6 edge was a big fail from me.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] pjm1891:
I have one on pre-order as well. Same as you I'm coming from the S6 edge and the Z3 before that. Can't wait to get back on Sony. At least their battery gets me through the day.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] kamalaggi:
Is there any news of a release date? Some sites are saying November and other sites are saying it's been delayed until early next year.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] pjm1891:
Haven't seen any official date yet, but the retailers here (Sweden) are all stating between 7-10 weeks from now.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] CandyAndy:
How is the price in Sweden? Here in Finland it says EUR849 (https://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/32065/gdqtj/Sony-Xperia-Z5-Premium-Android-puhelin-musta) but nothing about release date yet. Z5 Compact says its available already end of this month

That is a pretty steep price but then again new Samsung devices are more.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] blackwell387:
yessss

I hoping it would be availbe threw T - Mobile as well i would love to get my hands on this one..
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] charlatan01:
I have owned a total of 4 Sony phones in the last 5 years.

I love the build quality in general, but it seems to have degraded a bit on each iteration. My biggest frustration is that they still hide a bunch of processing behind a DRM partition that, for new devices (and still an issue with the Z3), seriously dissuades many, including myself, from rooting. They've definitely been more community friendly than many, but I am moving on...

Enjoy the device if you get it. It looks very nice.

About the same expensive prices on this side of the water.

[Xperia Z5 Premium General] speedyjay:
YouTube 3D? You do know the display on the Z5 Premium isn't 3D right?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] mircury:
Of course not, lol. That's why you use a virtual reality viewer like google cardboard. The Nexus 6 they were demoing at google io looked like you were viewing virtual reality VCR footage. If you can use the 4k display with youtube 3d it will be a HUGE improvement.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] CandyAndy:
This launch has been typical Sony. First they launch something with big bang and then total silence and nobody have a clue even which year the product will be released. I am starting to think that it will be 2016 when the phone is available.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] pjm1891:
Really? Where do you live? Here in Sweden pretty much all stores and carriers are saying that the release is in November. Pre orders have been available since the day after Sony's IFA presentation.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] CandyAndy:
I live in Finland. Z5 Compact got released today but there is no word about Z5 and Z5 premium yet.

Z5 Premium is supposed to launch in week 47 on Finland, or thats what i heard... but shops like verkkokauppa does not update until official information...
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] CandyAndy:
Same week as Nexus 6p..

Sorry Sony :/
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] migidid:
Strange thing on that is that it already launched on india... so why on earth would they wait a full month on other countries... i bet its coming faster that that so dont lose your hope yet :D

PERKELE we want it now!!!
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] kamalaggi:
For all you guys in the UK if you go to this website it has some good contract offers on the Z5 Premium https://www.mobilephonechecker.co.uk/Sony/Xperia+Z5+Premium.htm

I picked up a Z5 premium on o2 with unlimited mins unlimited txt and 3 gb data for £31 a month with the handset costing £75. Over the 2 years this costs £819. It's better than buying the phone for £629 and getting a sim only deal.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] jerryhou85:
I think UK online retailer Clove is pre-ordering the Z5 preminum already?

EDIT: Found the link.

https://www.clove.co.uk/sony-xperia-z5-premium
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] JKWR:
Stock due 13th November = bull****!! Clove always do this then delay it!
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] jerryhou85:
Haha, as long as they can ship out what they have said. That should be OK, unless you are a "Day One" person. :)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] TheSupernova:
I live in the UK, so is everyone skipping the regular Z5 and going for the Z5 Premium instead?

Carphone Warehouse is selling the Z5 Premium in Black and Chrome for £599.99 sim-free. Available from 20th Nov.

Meanwhile Clove will be selling the Black version only for £629 but included in that price tag will be a FREE Sony BSP10 Speaker and set of Sony SBH60 headphones with a combined value of £140. Available from 13th Nov.

Is the Premium going to be worth the extra expense? Plus you also have to account in the bigger size phone, 5'5inches instead of 5'2.

Somehow someone from my country already has the device (probably straight from Sony PH) and has done a quick unboxing and preview.

[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hpp6174:
Just got mine.... Chrome Z5 Premium E6853.

First impressions: Nicest Z series phone yet. I've had the xperia Z, Z1, Z2 and Z3 so far, this is the nicest of them all. Size is a little bigger than the Z3, but not by much. If you were OK with the size of the older xperia phones, this will be fine.

The screen is really nice, but the DPI is too high - everything is massive and I'll probably end up changing to down to 320dpi. Haven't tested the camera as I'm waiting on a protector for the back of the phone before I peel the factory protection off.

Software is still 5.1.1, standard Sony fare, not really much new here.

The obvious difference is the fingerprint reader which is great. really fast and the software is really well done. I was using a OnePlus 2 up until now and this is miles better than the reader on that phone.

And the elephant in the room - Snapdragon 810 - not done too much so far with the phone so can't really comment yet, but not really felt any heat from the phone yet. Had no issues with the OnePlus 2 either really, although I don't benchmark or play games on my phone.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] madgalaxy:
Congrats! I do not have one yet but have had the Z, Z2 and Z3 and always dreamed of a 5.5 display on the Z series. Let us know your impressions as you use the device - especially battery life after a few days with it.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Lawliet918:
where'd you pre-order yours?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] itsjustJOH:
Can you test if the 4k upscaling works with 3rd party video players like MX Player?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hpp6174:
ebay, I had a 10% off code so I went for it there and got it at £60 under the next cheapest price. Otherwise I would have ordered from Clove.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Lawliet918:
awesome! can you take a picture of that beast? mine will be arriving next week from clove.

also, can you test the low-light shots and see if it's any good?

oh and if you're okay with it, test the waterproofing, too. lol!
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] theskig:
Congratulations!

Keep us updated with your testing ;)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hpp6174:
Battery life looks like it will be similar to the Z3 that i had previously. Will easily last a day, struggles to get through to the end of a second. Charged to 100% at 17:35 yesterday and at 15% now. Light to moderate usage. A few phone calls, bluetooth music streaming in the car, watching iplayer at work, emails and whatsapp sync on. Stamina mode on. Standby battery usage is really good, as good as the Z3.

Screen on battery life takes a pounding however. 30% drop in 2 hours whilst watching iplayer. Note that I have changed the dpi to 320 so that might have had a negative impact.

All in all pretty happy. Like i've said its a match for the Z3 and far better than the OnePlus 2 that I'm about to stick on eBay

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

Waterproofing works. Stuck it under a tap to give the screen a quick clean. Ill put up some pictures tomorrow if you like.

As for the camera i'll wait until i've found a suitable protector for the back of the phone before i peel off the factory protection for good, so I haven't actually taken many pictures to test and can't really give a fair assessment of the camera yet.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] madgalaxy:
Thanks for the feed back! Expansys USA had them in stock today so I bought a black one. Shipped same day too! Can't wait!

We refer to your order for the Z5 Premium in Gold. Unfortunately Sony has indicated to us that the gold version will not now be here until about the 3rd December. We do apologise about this completely unknown information and we apologise for the delay. You may of course amend your order to Black or Chrome if you wish.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Lawliet918:
i was thinking of a more thorough waterproofing test (i.e. submerging it underwater in a pool).

in any case, i guess i can do it myself when i get mine. thanks!

As I see it. It's a 5.5 inch Z3. Which is fine by me. Loved the Z3. Hopefully you like the phone when it gets to you. Here's a screenshot from the about page of mine for you to compare firmware versions. Mine updated to this build on the day i got it.

[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Gitaroo:
does the Z5P have the new camera software yet?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hansip87:
Interesting that you ran it with 320dpi. But imho it should run at 400dpi as it's the screen base resolution (800+ppi which if run at 1080 should be around 400ppi).

One question, how do you set the dpi? Do you root the device first?

I am on XZU and seeing that you can pull 320dpi just like XZU on smaller screen, I'm definitely interested with Z5P.

PS: if you have time, could you change the dpi to 400 and post it here so i can see the final display? Thanks that would be a useful information. :)

Edit: Never mind i have found it, just use adb shell wm density 320 :) it is even remembered upon restarting. Nice :good: well now.. Seems like z5 with default 480dpi can be reduced to 400 dpi will work nicely too.. But that chrome back ugghhh..
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hpp6174:
Yeah, that's the command i used. No root needed. Just one thing to bear in mind is that some apps will break if you do do this. Swiftkey being one. I was actually thinking of going down a notch on dpi to 290 or 300. I used 320dpi on my z3 but with the z5 being bigger, i could probably go smaller with dpi.

The advantage of changing dpi to 320 or lower is that some apps revert to a tablet layout so you get much more on the screen as opposed to wasted space. So that's why I've done it at that size. I'll post comparisons of stock vs 400 vs 320 vs 290 this afternoon.

If you don't like the chrome back you can still go for black by the way. I am having second thoughts about the chrome. I think i looks really nice but scratches look like they will show up really easily and ruin the look. The black back should hide scratches and therefore look newish for longer.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hansip87:
Well i have no experience with swiftkey (imo xperia keyboard are still the best) but yeah. For me, I'll stick with 400ppi if i have z5p. Yes 320dpi is spacier but it will be too small. In fact i have tried to push my xzu to 240dpi and while it's a lot spacier, it's a bit too hard for typing. It's a general convention from google to set minimum touch area of finger to 48dp (which result into 96px on physical screen with 320dpi/144px with 480dpi), so a considerate adjustment need to be taken to match the dpi and ppi of the actual physical screen.

No you misunderstood, what i meant was that i love to buy the z5 but with chrome option only on z5p so I'll need to reach deeper on my pocket for z5p ;) well i think any standard screen protector will be still nice and transparent for the chrome to shine.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hpp6174:
Fair enough. At 320dpi the first comment that i get from people looking at my phone is "why is everything so small?". Personally i like it this way and its first thing i do to any android phone i buy. I actually started using 320dpi as it was the scaling used on the xzu. Even as late as last year i considered buying one of those to replace my Z2 when it broke. Love the size. Part of me still hopes Sony makes a successor to it - I would buy it in a flash.

gmail at 280

ignore any graphical anomalies - they will be gone after a reboot. Might stick to 290 dpi - at 280 chrome takes on the tablet interface tabs and all. Fiddly on a phone

Not sure how to test for that. Been trying various 1080p content on both mxplayer and vlc. Can't find anything to suggest that any scale up is going on

Try a 720p video and compare it with the stock Sony Video player. Or compare it with another phone.

The gold version is exclusive to O2 here in the UK for now that's why the sim free version of the gold has been delayed. O2 already has it in stock. I seen it in one of their branches here in Manchester. I asked one of the guys in the shop and he said the gold is exclusive to O2.

Yup, had to reorder today with O2 to get the gold.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hasasimo:
I'm so torn between the chrome and gold. I like how reflective the chrome back is, but it's also a fingerprint magnet. I love the gold metal chassis but the back of the gold version looks more tan than gold to me. Decisions, decisions!
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hpp6174:
I don't have it on mine, but then again the issue isnt there on all z5's either. Hard to say if Sony have fixed it in the z5 premium at this point. Something to check for all you guys that are getting the phone.

Also Xperia lounge and privilege plus are finally working, and the support page for the z5 premium is also up on Sony's website.

Disappointed with the choice of movies on the privilege plus app though. And no 4k content that i can see.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] corallus:
The least they could have done was allowed 4k on YouTube. ..
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Envious_Data:
4k is avaliable on youtube but perhaps not availiable on phone or perhaps google hasnt recognised Z5P as a Device with a 4K display

..What a beautyyy it looks incredible the display is incredible too. After looking at the display you will not want to go back to your previous device.

Ultraflix and mxplayer is a good combo for 4k movies but be warned you will need superb Internet.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Gitaroo:
looks like the lens blur issue should be sorted out after the first batch of Z5.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hasasimo:
I have both the gold and chrome and will be returning one. My first choice was the chrome but man... the fingerprints really detract from its beauty and constantly cleaning it all day long isn't realistic. And my hands are on the dry side... would be a lot worse if your hands are clammy.

Considering keeping the gold instead, which is reflective but not mirrory... not nearly the fingerprint magnet that the chrome version is. That chrome is sexy when clean though (i.e. when you're not using it, it's wiped down, and laying screen-side down). I'm torn!

Hi there,

I have been using the CloudyG3 2.5 ROM on my G3 (D-855) for the past month and something strange is happening to the phone. I must admit, the phone fell of a couple of days ago, but this shouldn't have any relation to my issues. All of a sudden, the sound just stopped working everywhere, even when I use the Music Player it gives me a Playback error and the Messaging and Phone Apps crash all the time. Even ''system'' crashes. Then I decided to use this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 and flashed a stock ROM. This did not solve the issues with sound and Messaging and Phone crashing all the time. I have a SIM card in the phone but it doesn't allow me to make phone calls, it just hangs. Weirdly enough, I get mobile internet and full bars of reception everywhere I go. WiFi also works fine.

Please help a brother out, I really don't know what to do at this point!
