Wow. Man you just gave the best review on Xperia xz premium. Loved it.
+Shane Vyas thank you, glad to hear this, stay tuned for my full review of the htc u11
The most profesional review i have seen so far for the XZ Premium. You really deserve more subscribers. Keep up the good work mate!
thank you mate, will definitely keep trying my best, stay tuned for more videos like this!
Yeah..all other youtubers saying bad stuff only about Sony Cam..this is a true review...slightly reviving my trust on Sony Again...yeah the cam looks good and has better color accuracy than Samsung, but I must say that in extreme low light performance is still behind...Being a selfie person i'd prefer a phone that could take bright and noise free selfies in low light like my Xperia C5 does. But F2.0 and no front flash, i wonder how sony would achieve that. Samsung has an edge over Sony on this
subscribed and notifications on.
Funk5Punk for sure it's brilliant. Thorough and covers every aspect. Next level reviews.
dont forget android o promises to improve battery life and one of the firet phones it will arrive on is the sony xperia xz premium
Android Guy looking forward to that
It better saves some serious battery coz I have been hearing that each iteration of Android promises better battery life but most of it seems to be meh~~~
Jesse Lim Jia Nian yes that is true but it was like that cuz they kept adding new animations that really took up a lot of power but with android o there are no new animations it's basically a revision of android n just more optimised and more power efficient
Just as I saw in many other videos... XZP is the phone to beat in 2017. The speed and optimization of the Sony UI is true to life. Well done Ray!
+Andrew Hall thank you Andrew! The xzp is incredibly fast, Sony's done a lot, finally
please don't call the square design old..it's so much good looking... it's what makes many Sony fans go.for it... all the phones now a days are curver like the old iPhone.. but Sony is the only unique one....
I have the XZ premium and the design looks stunning in real life. It completely eclipses S8 and iPhone 7s plus when they are put beside my phone. The glass and aluminum construction really give it a very classy and expensive look.
Well said bro..
the square shape is SONY signature and sony fans love the way sony does , curve shape is so boring they all look the same
@@davishthai4422 absolutely right
Most people don't get the idea of sony's design and complain more about its bezel. Samsung and other phones compete with bezel less design. You know these are trends. Like jogger pants after 6 months or later they change making the older design obsolete. But sony is like levi's,wrangler, as if it were jeans. Original style is always original. That's the beauty of sony
+mik jagger i do love the design language on Sony phones and own an xz premium, the omnibalance design together with glass on the back makes it so sophisticated and delicate. But when it comes to techs, less bezel does help make it a lot more modern and futuristic, my very own thoughts.
Great analogy Mik!
Stuff the trends, if one gets better, stereo, speakers, Sony can nut and chin me as often as it likes!
I detest that phones are not having FM radios these days, as well. .
Agree. Classic design never dies.
Great and in-depth review. Thanks. :)
4k on sony! loving my self watching TH-cam in 4k
+shane avlis daily driving the xzp, love it
Damn this was a real and depth review, the best i have seen so far, god work mate!

jamayrian its a really promising phone, a rare sony phone that is mature :)
jamayrian SONY is true innovation
Hey flashingdroid hats off to you buddy. You are such a great reviewer I ever seen. Really enjoyed your way of reviewing, not a single second was boring. And I am having one question please sort it out does that super vivid mode only works in images or videos or it also works in apps and games. Thanks in advance
@FlashingDroid,
What brand and type are the earplugs you're using seen at 09:30 ?
great review just subscribed👍👍👍which phone would you pick??? and whoch phone will last longer in coming years?? i own note 4 edge ot only last me 2 years motherboard was shot. thanks
+Michael Lui thank you mate, glad u liked it.
Both the s8 and xzp has got brilliant build quality, the futuristic design on the s8 might last longer before it gets outdated. The camera is also flawless in low-light
But u will like the 4k hdr screen on the xzp, and the smoother user interface
Wooooww... What a review? So captivating... I was so focused like I was in a class, damn.
For me its the SONY XZ Premium. I have had mine around 2 weeks or so now, and I am 100% satisfied with my choice. The 4K screen is absolutely stunning. Even when just using chatting apps.....the screen is super crisp, clear and bright. And colours just simply "pop" on the screen. The phone is very fast (faster than the S8 as proven on side by side comparison videos) and the touch screen is super responsive and as smooth as butter.
The camera is very good and the predictive picture function is brilliant (got pics I thought I had missed), as is the dedicated camera button on the side which allows for immediate access to the camera. The slo mo is impressive and I have had a lot of fun making vids and thinking of new things to do in slo mo.
Aside from that the build quality is excellent and the phone feels like an expensive premium device in the hand. Imho SONY have outdone themselves here and made a phone that is every bit as good as anything made by the competition.
are you using the super vivid mode?
Ven Madalogdog you mean in the settings for the screen? Yes... I have it on that mode
Allan Lamb what about the battery life is it good????
I use the sRGB mode. Things still look great. The vivid mode annoys me in the apps list and other things. Videos probably are ok but I don't like when saturation is overdone :)
Awesome phone. Good review as usual Ray. Look forward to your HTC u11 review, have a good weekend!
Best comparison video of these two devices I've ever seen. Great job dude.👍🏽
nice comparison keep up the good work
very professional review. Will move to xz premium. it's my first video of your channel. I love your expressing & talking style.
Just got one exellent review. I want your voice as my ring tone. Totally chilled
U have the best smarphones reviews . Great video as always. Thank you
Very very good review thanks.
What settings were both display in when you did display comparison
Best review I have ever seen thanks
A very good review 👍
Just subscribed! You deserved it!
+Commanche thank you! stay tuned for the htc u11
Very nice review.
I have a question, can you record phone calls with xperia xz premium like with lenovo phones and CAT phones, already inbuilt phonecall recorder? And can you make a review of xperia xzs?
Best review of this phone I've watched so far
Great Review, Thank You
Hello ray.. Im planning to get xz premium, but i cant decide which of the two colors (chrome and deepsea black) should i get. Maybe you could help me decide. Thank you. And more power.
Lol just pick one you like. Will the mirror effect annoy you? Deep sea is surprisingly reflective too. Chrome will keep cooler in sunlight. It will also attract more attention as light reflects off of it. The mirror one will also have you awaited at the gates of Valhala, to ride eternal, shiny and chrome
very nice and informative
+Angel thank you!
FlashingDroid did XZP get hot when playing video games?
But can you tell which is the better colour of sony xzp. please
Nice review mates.. thanks for this
Notification are ON
love ur vdo
very good and detailed review.. one question does it get hot or warm like older xperia models
+Juned Kaka thank you! not at all, the karting videos were shot in 4k(except the slow motion) kept filming for the whole morning, and it survived
Juned Kaka Hi, I saw your videos with XZ, any plans on getting Xz premium
leaving a comment here Juned Kaka - if you're getting a xz premium, i'd love to see your camerashots as well!
raf ay surely yes .. waiting for the price to drop :p
Kjetil Liknes surely will do :)
just a quick question, in this video have you set it to the highest settings when you have played dynasty warriors unleashed? because I'm playing this also in my Xperia XZ but not as smooth as it seems in this video.
+Oliver Marcelo of course, its fhd, with high settings. mind you, the xz premium uses a more advances cpu and gpu than the x
+FlashingDroid xz*
Yep, anyway thanks for the info. I'm considering to buy the xzp. Now, I have a reason.
+Oliver Marcelo yep, as the xzp play games I'm 1080p, that adreno 540 just overkills it
what is this game u played in xz premium?
Like it . Ray Good job.
+robertlsy thanks mate! finally another comment from you
One of the best reviews for the XZP out there. Thanks! I'm using Z3 and now I want the XZP ahahahah
What is the title of the game in 6:05? thank you
what do u advice htc u11 or Sonny did pre
+Ahmad Awad u11 for better lowlight photography, but xzp for better display,sony's in house multimedia features
in 10:18, selfie test, the color in that telephone box , which one is true one, S8+ or Xz premium, that color have so much differeces.
Excellent review clear and informative. So considering battery life camera and audio capabilities would you choose HTC 11 or Sony XZ Premium?
+mark heath thank you mate! audio capabilities would be a tough competition, as the u11 gives better headphone audio output and boomsound speakers
but, the xzp feautures dual front facing balanced speakers, ldac for high bitrate bluetooth streaming (to Sony audio systems) and dseehx
camera is also not an easy decision, u11 gi es better lowlight pictures, but xzp shoots rock stable videos and super slow mo
mark heath To me decent daylight photography of XZP and 960 slow mo are the game changer.
i have decided to buy one xzp chrome after your Review. Thanks a lot :)
I'm deff buying this phone when might the price drop
Nice comparison, I got my XPZ 2 weeks now (also made videos on my experiences) and I'm really happy with it.
As far as I can say all top Smartphones this year are really close in most aspects. I like the classic design of the XZP but can understand why some people see it as outdated.
In the intro and walking the traffic was too loud which made it difficult and impossible to understand.
I had to many bad expiriences with Samsung to still buy stuff from them anyway. (great products but bad management backup and support.)
Can you do a low light selfie test with XZ Premium and compare with S8 plus? I'm quite curious to see how good is that 1/3.0" sensor in Sony front cam...given smaller f/2.0 aperture.
+Indiappa sure, stay tuned for xzp Vs g6 Vs u11 Vs s8, will try my best to include low-light selfie test, u know, the sun almost never set here in London, in summer.....
are you going to review the HTC u11?
Ron Mckay sure, stay tuned :)
Bezels are not wasted space on the XZP since there is high resolution audio speakers and front facing big camera sensors behind them. They are there for a good reason. BTW, I keep my XZ Premium at super vivid mode since it gives the best color sharpness in my opinion :)
+KLRGT500KR vivid mode… thats why it really depends on personal preference 😂
Vivid is, well, vivid. Not as accurate for photo or video editing (use sRGB mode for that), but it will make colours pop. Personally I use the sRGB mode and have xreality off. I prefer it that way unless I want to spruce up a movie, then I'd use standard Trilumonious and xreality. However, normally I watch movies on my TV instead. But this phone display is so nice, it's tempting to get some headphones and watch a 4k HDR movie, seeing as my TV is 1080p non HDR.
please do areview on samsung a7 2017
Which is better amoung XzP and Nokia8 ??
Thank's for ur attention😊
Great Comparison
+Saqib Shahin thanks mate!
Did you say "Buttery smooth." to describe the xperia app switch speed?
I just got here from watching fake camera comparison between xzp and s8 ..this is the most honest review for xzp
Finally the true review of xzp best phone of 2017 everyone is reviewing that s8 or g6 thnq buddy for xzp s best review
10:20 The amount of light is focused on the person at S8, but at premium on the background. That is why the background appears more well illuminated at premium. But the colour of the London buses has always been plain red like S8 shows, and not pinkish red like the premium performance.
Thank you for your review you really helped me decide should I wait for Sammy Note 8 or it's time to replace my Z1 thank you. Beast xz premium deep sea black come to Papa
Freydon Kort So what are you getting then?
It would seem he wants a Deep Sea XZP
S8+ vs Sony xz premium front camera which is good.
Watching in 2019👈.
I love SONY!
💜
just nu thought or the design. There is nothing that is outdated about Sony Xperia XZ 's design. It's a classic timeless beautiful design.
+Jerry Berglund ya, agreed, but those bezels... would be better if they can remove the bezels but keep the same design language
Why? In my wiev the bezels are perfect letting fingers rest into. There is no such places on Samsung. Even HTC has big bezels but all seems to love it anyway
Top and bottom lid is there to make gaming better. Gives more distance.
How about XZ1?
xz premium el ganador del 2017 😉
I almost regretted getting the S8 but after seeing those huge bezels I think i made a good decision XP
How's the battery life on the XZ Premium
If you're spending more than the 3-4 hours of heavy usage on your phone per day, maybe you need to do something else ;p
Well that was quite professional!
So the only downside is the design (which I liked)? This will be my next phone, but in black color...
based on multitasking and gaming and battery life which is winner S8 or sony XZ ?? because i watched other vid that s8 has the longest battery life, but for you what will you choice ?? Sorry to my bad english
+Pama Levi the exynos version is surprisingly worse than the s835 version which we have here in the UK. The us s8 should win easily in terms of battery life
ahh ok ty
BEAUTIFUL looking phone! ... but those bezels 😕 I'd buy but not sure I could deal with the size of the bezels. I'm a multimedia fanatic. I dunno ... maybe when the price comes down a little more. Thank you for your review. CYA.
If you like multimedia, then you may need to consider how content fits on those long displays (s8, lg etc). It either has black bars (effectively bezels) or you cut off the top and bottom. It would work well for cinema movie aspect ratios though
nice one
+Ali Hejazi thank you!
6:20 Game's name's
This must be confusing to the rest of us here who are the avid fans of widely popular US based youtube tech reviewers. Because they don't usually review the Sony phones as detail and honest as this one.
+Reyalist Corneja thank you! Will try my very best to review phones from all brand 😎
i do more understand than Chinese version. Love this xoxo 😆😆😆
Komiliae Hidaeyoshi thank you mate :)
very good sony xzp
The name of the game?
Waaaaw I want this Xperia XZ Premium 😍 😍
Great comparison. Agree the xz premium daytime shots show better detail and contrast than the s8. While s8 is better still at noise reduction in low light but Sony has improved even without ois.
I. M already purchased this Sony xperia xz premium.. But still watch
Many video.. Wtf. Because. This phone really beasttt
lol same. There is no point since it's not like I can go out and easily buy other phones. Even my xzp was half price opportunity came up 2nd hand.
Rennie Ash... Oh suberbbb.. Xzp awesome
OP, If you need to slow down the video frames to compare the speed of the apps opening, it's not worth mentioning. Even if the apps load faster I would still prefer the S8. The Sony simply looks outdated. Kudos on the screen but the design looks old. I have owned my S8 since it came out and I can tell you that it does not slow down or deteriorate as mentioned.
love your video, i think xzp is better s8+ in performance (a little bit) and camera but i will choose s8+ (amazing design, good performance, very long life battery for youtube) ;))
Sony's box design is a classic and I think Sony were right to keep the top & bottom bezels, but I do think the phone would have looked better if these bezels were a slightly slimmer either side.
Also, I don't understand why Sony didn't employ the edge to edge screen like the screens found on their mid-tier XA1 models? The XA1 looks so much more modern and keeping with the current trend. The XZ Premium would have hugely benefitted from the edge to edge display, especially with the stunning 4K.
If these two small design flaws were addressed, the XZP would win over alot more popularity. The comments I've read on review videos and posts suggest that alot of potential buyers do love the phone, but are still put off with the current design. So I think Sony would be wise to address these issues with their future models.
I'm still buying the XZP though because it's a fucking beast!
By the way @flashingdroid, nice review!
Maybe those displays in the xz(p) need more space? It's not a dealbreaker. Personally I'd get just as annoyed at Samsung's curves, lack of frontal holding space, and lightbleed effect due to the curved edges. Once the initial wow goes away is when you find out what you actually like in a phone :) It's also when you find out annoying things like the camera photo distortion (warp), which hopefully gets fixed in a firmware update.
Theo best Sony Xperia XZ Premium
+Max Siqueira my favourite, at the moment
I love your accent bro
To me the design of XZ Premium looks much better, but that's just my opinion and also XZP crushed S8 everywhere. I'm going for SONY.
BTW, what's that song? 11:40
+Khursheede Wani I love the xzp as well, daily driving it :)
Bit of a late reply, but great review here.. I like the square design of my XZP.. it gives it a unique look from all the Galaxys and Iphones everywhere and its nice to carry around something different. The bezels house the speakers.. so they arent that much of a waste of space... Also bigger bezels means better protection from being dropped or falls.. The S8 is very flimsy and more fragile.. although I must admit.. the S8 camera ia nice in certain senarious, but the differences are so small, I would never buy one..
咁你覺得samsung定sony嘅機好用啲吖？
+SiuChoWai Cherry 其實真係視乎邊部機既優缺點比較適合自己
s8 相機夜拍，近乎無邊框，自家功能贏，但指紋解鎖個位奇怪
xzp 4k hdr，雙喇叭，界面順啲，相機白平衡超準，但邊框粗，極端夜拍一般
FlashingDroid ok thank you😊
i love sony
Definitely go for *XZP*.
Hey, you were supposed to pick one.
Best reviewer after Joshua Vergara from Android Authority
+Indiappa wow, really appreciate it, there're a lot of great reviewers out there, will keep trying my best to shorten the gap :)
Today I went to the shop to get Samsung note 8 or S8±
And now I am enjoying my new XZ Premium
Why.?I am a note guy i had note 2, 3,4 till today. Note 8 is massive not nice . They should have note 8 with Note4 screen size to me just becomes Impractical. And if you put case on it it will be a proper BRICK
Galaxy S8+ Are you real 🤭 it looks disproportionate too long for that width same for the note 8. In my case if not note. something else. But that's just my opinion
Sony right size screen almost as Note4. And that 4k screen is omg.
If Sony would just make those bezel's smaller, I would get one. Even the girl phone maker and Google are stepping up there game. Cmon Sony, you can do it.
+rag e63 I love their design language, just take away the side bezels, slimmer the top and bottom bezels a bit, will be really happy
If only the design was switched with the XA1 ultra it would be absolutely perfect. One has to wonder why the 'budget' XA1 gets an edge to edge display
It (xa1)doesn't need as much screen hardware. They may also be testing using the cheaper phones where it doesn't matter as much. I like the zxp rounded edges. The "touch of quartz" top and bottom edges is also very nice (remember how they had these on their TVs 4 years ago?)
S8 is big and powerful while the xzp is light and fast. It's a win win for both
+JG rana ya, if u look for the absolute smoothest experience, strange to say, but Sonys done a better job this time.
but Samsung's got way more in house features
FlashingDroid yes! that's exactly what I meant
htc has the best headphone jack audio i believe. sony needs to close that gap.
+MrWalker1000 lg g6 quad dac version has the best one, but if u are in the us, htc is the best, right now
what model sony earphones are those in the video?
HTC U11 and XZ premium is best of 2017
techno mania best comment I’ve read!
