The phone's camera can capture action at 960 frames per second, far slower than any competing device. Sony touts the XZ Premium camera's super-slow-motion video feature as one of the phone's star attractions, and it sounds incredibly cool on paper. If there's a downside, it seems to come from Sony's photo-processing software: Every detail is just a little too crisp, particularly in nighttime shots, and this creates noise that the iPhone 7 Plus' images don't exhibit. Like the iPhone, the XZ Premium is water-resistant, not waterproof. The camera's wide lens resulted in more expansive beach images that seemed to capture a wider range of color than the iPhone's camera did. The XZ Premium's camera even created a neat glare effect from a streetlamp that I didn't expect to love but did. Fireworks are notoriously difficult to capture, but compared to the iPhone 7 Plus, the XZ Premium's shots were crisper and clearer. The XZ Premium's camera captured some stunning photos, particularly during the fireworks show.

I compared the XZ Premium's stills to shots from an iPhone 7 Plus produced under the same conditions, relying on both phones' automatic modes because we wanted an out-of-the-box comparison. I took the phone out to a beach in ultrabright daylight with sand and water threatening to ruin any good shots, followed by a July 4 fireworks show marred by streetlamps and crowds. The XZ Premium's 19-megapixel rear camera is the phone's other marquee feature, so I put it to the test under the most terrible of shooting conditions. Camera: Solid shooter, but super-slow-mo video is a gimmick

I don't often stream shows to a small smartphone screen, not when I have a 50-inch TV at my disposal, but the XZ Premium sucked me in. I stumbled into Zelda Fitzgerald’s Southern summer adventures in Z: The Beginning of Everything, in which the trees were a brilliant green, every character's eyes sparkled and Zelda's lipstick was a perfect shade of crimson. Sony spotlights Amazon Prime Video in the Xperia Lounge app it preinstalls on your device, but because Prime Video isn't available to download in the Google Play Store, you have to go through an arduous process to side-load the app onto your phone.īut there is some good news: Amazon's HDR shows look insanely good when you stream them on the XZ Premium. The bad news: Getting to Amazon's HDR shows is damn-near impossible. Sony recognizes that 4K HDR videos aren't exactly commonplace (yet), but Amazon Prime Video is one place you can stream them.
