Planning to buy a Sony Xperia XZ Premium smartphone anytime soon? Well, now is the right time, if you ask me! Amazon.com is currently selling the device for just $627, and that’s around $173 off on the original price of $799. However, we can’t make any promises on how long the deal will be live, so it’s better to grab the offer as soon as possible. This is indeed a hell of a deal you can’t afford to miss.
As far as the specs are concerned, the Sony Xperia XZ Premium comes with a large 5.46-inch 4K display. Besides that, it is powered by Snapdragon 835 processor along with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage. There is a microSD card slot, in case you would want to expand the storage beyond 64GB.
Speaking of the camera department, the device packs a 19MP rear camera and a 13MP front-facing camera. Apart from that, it comes with features such as side-mounted fingerprint sensor, IP68 certification, and 3230 mAh battery.
The Xperia XZ Premium should be a perfect alternative to Samsung’s Galaxy S8, if you don’t fancy an all-screen front display. Instead, you are getting a sharp 4K HDR display and a bigger battery in case of Sony Xperia XZ Premium.
Now the question is… Is Sony Xperia XZ Premium worth buying now when the forthcoming flagship Xperia XZ1 is right around the corner?
We know that Sony is prepping to launch three new smartphones at IFA 2017. Of the three, the most premium – Xperia XZ1 – is shaping up to be one of the hottest releases of this year. But, there are no differences between the XZ Premium and XZ1 when it comes to hardware specs. A GeekBench listing has already revealed that the latter will come sporting a Snapdragon 835 processor and 4GB of RAM. Interestingly, we are talking about the same processor and RAM size we’ve seen on the Xperia XZP. So, don’t expect the forthcoming XZ1 to be far superior to the current flagship.
Plus, leaks are pointing out that XZ1 won’t be any different from the XZ Premium when it comes to design. Live pictures have showcased an XZ1 smartphone with bezels as huge as the XZP. Also, the Xperia XZ1 is tipped to come with a Full HD (1080p) display, while you are already getting a 4K HDR display in the case of XZ Premium.
