The Sony Z5 Premium with 4K display is insane.

What to say?

Why?

Yes, that’s probably all that needs to be said.

Why Sony? Not only will a Snapdragon 810 powered phone trying to drive that many pixels probably run hotter than the sun, but now you’ve effectively forced every other manufacturer to go down the 4K route too.

So, 2016 will be the year of the Ultra HD smartphone.

Fantastic news for consumers who are already crying out for better battery life on their devices.

Still, at least there’s also the Z5 Compact and a more ordinary Z5 for everyone to consider instead. Hopefully the new 23-megapixel sensor will be a game changer for the Xperia range.
