Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Photo Samples

Sony Xperia Z5 premium definitely has something to attract those who choose to pick something lustrous and good looking which has 5.5 inch 4K UHD display and mirror finish on the back panel (not available in the other two variants). The framework that Sony has used is almost the same as what we have seen in the earlier Xperia Z series phones but it has curved edges and  glossy back which works just like a mirror, it has a chrome ring around the camera lens, and the camera and volume keys placed on the right panel  are accompanied with the power button which has a finger print sensor baked in.

The much highlighted feature of this phone is its first in its class display which is the 4K display, we won’t say its something that will wow the users but yes it gives you some benefits over the other phones, be it watching 4K resolution videos without a hassle or viewing natural images clicked by its 23MP camera.

Camera Overview

Sony Xperia Z5 Premium delivers a mighty camera which has 23MP sensor and F2.0 G lens which might sound good to the shutterbugs. Good to hear that after Sony Xperia Z1 this is the first time Sony has completely changed its camera module. Sony has big claims about the speed of its autofocus which is said to be 0.03 seconds, we must know its faster than the speed we blink, good for clicking picture of fast moving objects.

We examined the camera, the autofocus works really well and its quite fast and accurate, the zoom is not blurry, colours are also rich. The camera can be considered good for shooting in natural light but misses a few marks when it comes to low light pictures, it is not as convincing as we expected it to be, overall the camera is great, but it certainly not the best that we have come across when compared to other 2015 flagships.
