Design
At first glance, you’ll know it’s a Sony smartphone, the device sports the company’s overall signature look. Boasting of a Metal and Plastic mix design and covered exquisitely with a Corning Gorilla Glass 5. It has all the IP65/IP68 certifications, offering dust, scratch and water resistant of up to 30 minutes underneath.
We can see the dual shooters in their unique position just like on its predecessors. The dual-LED flash is on top of vertical cameras in that order. It’s quite bulky to the sides as usual measuring 11.9mm in thickness and weighs 236g. You should be able to get it in Black and Silver colors only.
Display
It’s obviously Sony ain’t digging the whole totally bezel-less hype or even the notch. The XZ2 Premium ships with lots of top and bottom bezel, which might be a disappointment to some people. The Sony logo still sits at the bottom corner, while the top houses the usual features.
Furthermore, The 5.8-inch UHD+ IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen is one of best screens ever on Mobile. Boasting of a breathtaking 3840 x 2160 pixels in resolution and a mind-boggling 760 pixel per inch density. See all your movies, games and details on the screen in dense clarity.
