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.
