Yeah i was just wondering before i had mine, i have it in my hands now and it was the first thing i did. I have mine set to 476.

For some reason at 480 and above the software keys when in landscape are not inline. :eek:

Hey I just wanted to know if the notification led is a true RGB one. No other reviews mention this fact, and i miss the notification light on my old Nexus 4, nothing has come close to its aesthetics. Thanks!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] jaseman:
Yes it is. However there is no default ability to manipulate what color flashes for what purpose. All you can do with the default launcher is turn it on or off. But there are 3rd party apps that work well giving you the ability you seek. I too love having an LED for notifications! ;)

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] jms.flynn:
How is everybody finding the stereo speakers? The bottom speaker is not as loud as the top speaker on my unit. The top speaker also seems to have much better range.

Can anybody else confirm this is the same with all the units?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] ukemochi:
I did testing inside YouTube, Amazon Video, Funimation and some test calls, both were equal. Couldn't replicate your issue.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] jms.flynn:
The loudspeaker on calls only goes through one speaker so not sure how you have managed to test calls. The bottom speaker is definitely slightly quieter on mine and doesn't have as much range. Can you use this video to test? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WKspXZfmEE

They have different speaker top and bottom, so i'm not saying I am surprised by the difference but to my ear I can hear a slight difference in quality and volume from one to the other.

Appreciate your review and agree with your findings. Received my Premium last night. Been great so far!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] ukemochi:
Thank you! Great to hear, hope you end up liking it as much as I do.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] ukemochi:
Thank you for that sound test, I have to agree with you on the bottom speaker, its ever so slightly quieter, I could notice it when it said "both speakers" but when it was doing left to right I couldn't tell a difference at all.

So I received my Sony xzp today compared the rear camera and to my dissapointment the Samsung s7 had better quality images...so gutted urge sony really need to improve. However the front camera did better than the Samsung s7 so there's that ! Unfortunately I will be returning my Sony as rear camera is important to me...I hope sony improve on their software optimisation for the camera. :(
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] figo_rulz11:
Proof that I was comparing the two phones and my z3 too ha.

Also everything else was fantastic on the Sony bar the rear camera.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Ca5c4d3:
I agree this phone is the best out there. Only cool feature on the S8 is the infinity display. Coming over from a Lumia 950XL,my only dislikes are :

No glance screen

No visual voicemail

No camera video stabilisation?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] martin042068:
My Experience So Far UK Model G8141

I came from a Lumia 950 also. Miss that glance screen for certain. I was able to download visual voicemail application for AT&T from the play store. Been happy with video cam.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] figo_rulz11:
Hmm interesting feedback. Maybe I did receive a bad product? I was gutted though as I'm a huge sony fan and the rear camera just didn't capture the quality I got with my Samsung s7 but beat my Sony z3 so they are definitely improving. Maybe with a software update things could be better? I'm going to order one plus 5 see how that compares so will report back soon.

I'm hoping I go back to the Sony xz premium with future updates and more user feedbacks.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Aerocap:
Great review, thank you much! That's simply the best smartphone until today to me. Please can you tell if you received the "Made in China" or the "Made in Japan" version?

C'est en faisant qu'on apprend
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] martin042068:
My Experience So Far UK Model G8141

Mine is made in China. I wasn't aware of any being produced in Japan.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] jaseman:
Mine was also made in China and I am a little disappointed... Since this is a Japanese company (or so I thought) I was hoping it would be made in Japan?? Sorry but I just don't trust the Chinese to not put some nefarious code into our cell phones. So sad that nothing is made in America anymore! Kind of ironic actually because when I was a kid we would laugh when something was labeled "made in Japan".
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] ukemochi:
Japan
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] martin042068:
Didn't know that any premiums where made in Japan. Interesting.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] djmaxi:
Can we tell where it's made without looking at the box...?

I can't seem to figure it out :p
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] martin042068:
Pre-ordered UK Premium for US

I had to look at the box. Not sure if there's another way.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] solofrain:
Will sony warranty cover the phone purchased from UK and used in US?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] charlatan01:
Yes, but the device has to go to Europe warranty /repair center.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
Most are saying the battery life is good to solid on this device. However the only way to tell or have a comparison with other phones is to have screen on time results posted. That would be the true indicator. Plus easier to compare
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] jaseman:
How can screen on time be a valid comparison? What if I just don't have my screen turned on as long as the next guy? What if during the time I have my screen on I am reading email, or texting while the next guy is using GPS or playing games? Screen on time is useless because we all do things differently. The way I use my phone I can easily get two days on one charge. But for the next guy it may only be a day and a half and I may have more screen on time. The battery is the one thing for sure that is great on this phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Combonary:
You are correct
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] paulle:
galileo support

Is there Galileo support on the xperia xz premium? Showing and using Galileo satellites as well as gps and glonass?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
How can screen on time be a valid comparison? Simple

Well first of all like you said everyones usage is different from one another. However you were quick to jump gun. When users post usage and screen on time you can see on what kind of usage they had to get that kind of screen on time. So by analyzing the apps used or gps etc you can see what the phone has to offer for battery life. So screen on time is not useless when you have usage pattern screen shot to go with it. So your argument is only valid to a certain point. Like for instance you might not use your phone much for 2 days and say this phone has amazing battery life. On the other hand someone else might use it moderate to heavy and say it has average battery life. That's why you need to see screen on time with usage statistics attached. Peace out
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] jaseman:
Another reason why screen on time is no good is because the brightness level of the screen will also alter the results. YMMV
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
It will affect screen on time but its still a part of the phone. So all conditions add to the end result. So the same applies if you were mostly on wifi or mobile data. How good your reception is. At the end of the day the more people post results the better. Very simple
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
Unfortunately I'm struggling to love this phone as much as you guys in the few hours I've been using it.

The good stuff?

*Design is beautiful... one of the best looking phones I've ever had, if not the best.

*Screen is really great for an LCD (I'm an OLED fanatic).

*One of the fastest Android phones available, and has a stock Android appeal.

*Stereo speakers, water resistance.

*Camera supports 4:3 and 16:9 without cropping (unlike every other phone) and 960 FPS slo-mo.

*Fast fingerprint scanner.

*Very strong cell radio & WiFi performance.

The bad stuff...

-Camera does not impress me so far, especially in low-light. OP said who takes pics in the dark? A lot of people, actually... indoor lighting is usually low-light. Dynamic range is poor compared to my Pixel XL.

-No RAW capture supported.

-Stereo speakers are not loud at all.

-HDR currently doesn't work on anything except content you download and put into internal storage... so it's useless for me. YouTube HDR needs to activate on mobiles to make it worth a damn IMO.

-No U.S. carrier WiFi calling or VoLTE support - kind of a big deal

-Fingerprint scanner/power button isn't the easiest to hit every single time if you are using the phone naked since it's even with the side bezel.

-Vibration motor is very weak.

-Flashlight/camera flash is very dim.

-(Personal complaint) animations are completely butchered to make the phone seem faster... I enjoy animations.

-Sunlight visibility is far from great (due to reflective front glass).

I really want to love this phone... but it definitely has some shortcomings.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Phat-T:

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] ukemochi:
I thought I would chime in here because maybe I can help you out.

So starting from the top of your complaints, the camera not being impressive enough for you, I really cant say anything because to me its great but maybe to either an enthusiast or someone with a keen eye and want more from a camera probably see eye to eye with you. It does what I need it to do for pictures.

When you talk about HDR, understand this isnt the phone's fault that the content is not there so that's not a slight towards the phone. It's like when 4k became available for the first time to TV's and someone going out and buying the first one and then complaining that there isnt any 4k content, instead of praising the TV that its an option thats there to use when you have the content. Also you can watch 4k content on the phone, open Google Chrome and change the settings. Also Amazon video shows 4k as well through the app.

Voice over LTE even though awesome, is very rare for people to actually be in a area that supports it not to mention its a battery killer, just because your Pixel has amazing battery and you dont notice it, VOLTE does eat your battery. Once again its a technology that has been out for awhile but not something that has been widespread or accepted by major carriers enough to push hard.

When the phone is facing upwards and sitting on the table, I use my right index finger so I dont have to pick it up, add more fingers.

Motor for vibration, no comment because I dont use it, I hate vibrators.

I would check your screen settings and change it to a more vibrant setting, I have no problems seeing in the sunlight with this phone.

The sound definitely could be a lot louder especially for front facing.

So really there only 3 things that could be improved, remember no phone ever hits all the marks.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
The camera isn't bad during the daytime. It barely edges out my Pixel in detail, which is good, but disappointing at the same time considering it's 19 MP vs 12.3 MP. In low light though, there is no comparison. Even manually setting the ISO, it's hard to get a good photo. I really expect Sony to be the #1 smartphone camera... there's no excuse not to be, but I guess they either don't care or want you to buy a real camera, which is stupid.

I can't fault the HDR thing. I just mentioned it because I noticed it. You're right - the content is rare, and it's new. Frankly anytime I want to watch something, I'm using my 65" 4K OLED TV, so this doesn't matter to me.

I've gotten more used to the fingerprint scanner. I still occasionally have trouble hitting it (still not using a case), but I actually quite like it.

Even though the vibration is weak, it at least feels decent. Not a deal breaker, and it could almost certainly be strengthened via custom kernel whenever development kicks off.

Sunlight visibility isn't bad, but not class-leading either.

I guess what I'm looking for is something that makes this phone stand out amongst the others. There has to be something this phone is unbeatable at... I just can't exactly figure it out. The slo-mo is cool, be really limited (first gen product problem). 4K is ever so slightly sharper, but not enough that it matters at this screen size. Audio quality is solid. Speakers are good, not great. It performs extremely well... one of the top Android phones today.

Maybe my expectations are just off. Maybe this phone will only ever be really good at everything, but the best at nothing?... except for it's incredibly unique and stunning design.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] ukemochi:
The phone is the fastest mobile device on the market, it never slows. I love the fact that I can open 100+ apps it doesnt even matter the thing doesnt even shudder. So master of fast...yes. The audio quality using bluetooth is awesome and second to none, the display in 4k.....it is the leader in some things.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
I don't know if I'd call it the fastest. It's pretty much tired with the OP5 and iPhone 7, which is impressive.

The only slowdowns I've had are a few dropped frames, usually when switching apps or something like that. The in-app experience is usually perfect. Sometimes I think my Pixel is a hair smoother (not faster), but sometimes the Xperia is definitely smoother at other things my Pixel drops frames at. I'm the kind of person who values smoothness over load times, but this phone doesn't disappoint at all.

The 4K display is a market leader, true. But it's also kind of a gimmick. The difference in sharpness between 1440p and 4K on a 5.5" screen is very negligible... but I believe I can see the benefit, especially when zoomed out on a webpage filled with text (I set the display to 4K inside ADB). I do wish it were AMOLED simply because AMOLED panels have less blur when scrolling (due to faster pixel response times), but otherwise the display is great - colors are awesome and it's tuned very well (no ghosting).

Oh, and I forgot to mention in my last post. VoLTE is a big deal to me. I don't see how it drains battery (unless you're on a phone call), and I have an LTE signal 100% of the time where I live and work. Anytime I get a phone call I'm going to lose my data connection which isn't cool. And there are occasions where I have poor service, so WiFi calling is a great thing to have.

Despite its shortcomings, the more I use this phone, the more I really start to love it... maybe Sony sprinkles cocaine on it or something, because it seems the Xperia lineup has a devoted following, hell or high water.

Which Bluetooth head/earphones are you utilizing?

I know this has BT 5.0 (so does s8), and there aren’t any cans that have that tech yet as far as I know. And I think it improves range more than anything else, not sound quality.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] ukemochi:
There is proprietary software that Sony has built in. If you go into the audio settings theres a list of settings it auto adjusts and improves the quality of sound being transmitted out, the Hi-Res Audio is 4x the amount of data pushed out then just your standard Bluetooth 5.0. Just take a look here and scroll down https://www.sonymobile.com/us/products/phones/xperia-xz-premium/sound/

Yes there are Bluetooth head sets that take advantage of this technology -

These are just a few examples.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] iliramove:
From my experience, comparing Samsung Galaxy S series, LG G6 and Xperia Z/XZ series, Xperia Z/XZ series have always won in the Bluetooth audio area. Which is why I've always stuck to them.

Sound quality is great when listening to Spotify downloaded High Quality tracks. LDAC or aptX enabled Bluetooth headphones sound really good, and the Equalizer is very customizable.

Well all i can say that this phone camera is great specially shooting a moving object. Ived tried other phone's mostly shots taken on moving subjects gives me a blur result, but the xperia-xzp gives me a fantastic result without any blur on the subject.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] tsquare2112:
I have the international version, working fingerprint scanner and all. I love almost everything about this phone. The ONLY thing I would change, is to have the navigation buttons able to be reversed, back on the right, recent apps on left, and have them built into the bezzel, not on the screen. I absolutely love the text message app, while you're in a conversation and a reply comes through, it will sound to let you know. That is an awesome feature to me, I will send a reply and lay phone down or look away, this allows me to know a reply is waiting.

I don't take many pictures or videos, so I can't comment on the camera.

Speaker phone is perfect for me. Reception is great. Battery Iife is great. I've been using this along side S8 plus and mate 9. Snappier than the s8plus and battery is on par with mate 9.

Overall, I'm really happy with it. I bought a skinomi full body clear film.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Charliebill33:
Loving my G8142 in the states. $800 for a single SIM and no fingerprint sensor was a non-starter for me. I'm using the XZP at the same time as HTC U11; the XZP's fit an finish is superior and the camera is as good as the U11 (in it's own way). I prefer the U11's capacitive buttons and a front mounted fingerprint sensor; as well as double tap and swipe to wake. The XZP's screen is so far superior to the U11 and any other device I've owned, that my niggles are overwhelmed watching video.

For a huge device the XZP handles like a dream, for me. Until and unless video and app content moves to an 18:9 aspect ratio, I find LG and Sammy to be rather silly with their push that way.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] blah_00:
Can I ask which one out prefer for battery life? I'm currently on a U11 but really tossing up moving over to the xzp. Would really appreciate thoughts as battery life is a big factor for me!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Charliebill33:
I've found battery life to be a wash between the two. I play a lot of games and video, so I've never seen blog screen on times. The U11 charges much quicker.

I'd tell you which I thought was the best, if I had managed to answer that for myself but I'm still trying to figure out which one stays and which goes to Swappa.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] brockyneo:
Hi guys I've just ordered the xz premium just a couple of questions does anyone here have or own a s8 and if so is the s8 display better then on the xz as the main usage for me will be YouTube ect and I was couldn't decide between the s8 and xzp but a took a gamble and got the xzp ordered and do you think they will ever be a way around rooting on a locked boot loader as I really don't want to unlock it and loose the drm keys ect

Thanks again

Oh and do you think that the whole aspect ratio thing that most phone seem to be going is gonna put the xzp at a disadvantage in the near future
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Charliebill33:
I haven't the GS8, my last Sammy was the Note7... I find the XZP display on par with the Note7 and significantly superior to the U11.

Since you asked for thoughts on 18:9; I'll weigh in that I see no disadvantage for the XZP in the near future. There is very little content in 18:9, 4K has far more content, which isn't saying anything. Also apps still aren't universally scaled for 18:9, I despise letterboxing so apps and content not scaled to 18:9 would drive me batty. Even if Apple hops on the 18:9 wagon, TV (and YouTubers) isn't going to suddenly switch from 16:9 to 18:9.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bummler:
I have an microphone- issue with my Note 4.

It has 3 Microphones. The Mic on To(rear mic) works fine its active when Recording Videos and phonecalls over LoudSpeaker but the two mics on the bottom (front mics) have some issue and are really quiet.

I have to scream when i do normal phonecalls and also in whatsapp nobody understands my voice.

First i thought it would be some dirt in the mics,but i cleaned them and the issue is still there. i know that i can change the Microphone Sensibility in the mixer_paths.xml, i just dont know the details and values.

i also tested with" Hi-Q MP3 Recorde"r some settings. i can increase there the front mics on the bottom 20db+ and then the sound is fine but its just in the Voicerecord-program and not in the system.

So its not a real hardwareproblem that forces me to change the mic or the phone.

So i need to know which values i have to change in the mixer_paths.xml and how to do it step by step and i know that some more people have that problem.

i hope for your help and i know that this board has some real good programmer and experts.
