The Sony Xperia Z5 Premium is now available with an SRP of Php43,690 and a cash based SRP of Php40,990. Check out our hands-on and first impressions here.
For many years Sony has had its share of ups and downs in the smartphone market. They were a bit late to join the Android train many years back but when they did, they made a splash especially with the introduction of the water-proof Xperia Z. Others followed the path of making their flagship devices IP68 certified.
Yet, for some time, it seems that Sony has been playing catch-up in their roll-out. The design has been almost the same for the past 3 years and incremental upgrades in the hardware are not as impressive.
Not until this week when Sony announced the new Xperia Z5 family. At the top of the heap is the Xperia Z5 Premium, the first smartphone to sport a 4K (quad-FHD) display. That distinction is as resounding as many other titles claimed by other brands before — first true octa-core, first with 4GB of RAM, first with 256GB storage, and many more.
Here is the comparison of hardware specs of the entire Xperia Z5 line-up.

The Xperia Z5 Premium is more of a show of prowess — just because they can. Packing 4 full HDs into a display just 5.5 inches across is indeed a feat.
For a long while the over-all look and feel of the Z1 right up to the Z4 were almost the same from a certain distance. Sony has made significant changes with the Z5 design to differentiate it from its predecessor.
Ultimately, consumers will decide with their if these are enough to make the Sony Xperia Z5 the smarpthone to beat this year. Expect the Xperia Z5 line-up to be released globally in October and probably November in the Philippines.
