Sony Xperia Z5 Premium with 4K display announced

Xperia Z5 Premium is the world’s first 4K smartphone  comes with 5.5-inch TRILUMINOS display . The 3840 x 2160 pixels resolution accounts to a pixel density of 806 ppi and can a display get sharper

Another feature that built exclusively to the Xperia Z5 Premium is the ‘upscale to 4K’ – which basically enhances any native or third party videos or photos to 4K resolution. So, you can now enjoy viewing Netflix, YouTube or your personal clips in ultra-high quality. Furthermore, you can capture in 4K using Z5 Premium, but you can preserve any of the content as an 8 megapixel image to save some storage space.

Just like the Xperia Z5 and Xperia Z5 Compact, the Xperia Z5 Premium is also powered by a Snapdragon 810 chipset, which features octa-core CPUs, 64bit support and latest 4G LTE standards. There’s 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of inbuilt storage, but you can expand that by up to 200 GB via microSD card.

Moving on to the camera section, the department is led by a 23 megapixel 1/2.3 Exmor RS sensor with F2.0 G lens. Sony has completely re-imagined its smartphone camera module for the Z5 series for the first time since its introduction with the Z1 series. The new camera unit can get its focus right in just about 0.03 seconds, according to the company, which apparently is faster than the blink of a human eye.

Sony Xperia Z5 Premium has a finger print scanner integrated in the power button of the device. The phablet also comes with IPX 5 / IPX 8 rating, which means that the device is waterproof and is protected against dust.

The Z5 Premium brings all the latest audio codecs and also has a wide range of connectivity options. Sony is launching the Z5 series with Android 5.1 Lollipop on board. The juice for the device comes from a 3,430mAh battery and considering the fact that the device has a 4K display, it will be quite interesting to see how long the smartphone can last on a single charge. Sony has enabled Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 2.0 technology on the Z5 Premium.
