A few things you missed. For one, the navigation buttons have changed to look more Pixel like. This change is pretty big for previous Sony owners, the old buttons are an eyesore hahaha. Another thing is the fact that they have a setting to enable distortion correction for pictures taken with the phone.
How to get picture in picture to work with youtube: 1. Do not use the RUclips app instead use Chrome or the Samsung Browser. 2. If you get asked to use the RUclips app press cancel. 3. Change to desktop mode and if you are using the Samsung Browser then switch back to mobile view but if you end up with something that looks like the RUclips app then it will not go into a window. 4. Play the RUclips video in full screen. 5. With Chrome press the home button or with the Samsung Browser press the picture in picture icon. I hope I did not forget a step.
You can get picture in picture mode for RUclips by going fullscreen, make sure the video is playing and pressing the home button. At least that's what I do on Google Chrome. Don't have Red.
Also: camera quality has improved at night. Not as good as an S8 (still) but it's not an embarrassment any more. It's actually remarkably simple to get very decent night shots now. There's also a mode to correct the lens distortion.
I don't know why people are so desperate to get the newest Android/IOS OS when it's never fully optimised until many months down the track. I don't want to be a beta tester at the expense of performance and optimisation..
Was expecting a bit more from this update when I updated my Premium last week. Was looking forward to the picture in picture feature but I too found it doesn't work on like RUclips Seems a bit better on battery life for me and performance on mine has always been good
Mattias Spies, I was wondering about battery life because every time I update my phones to the newest versions of Android, I always get battery drain issues. It's the reason why I don't bother updating my phones anymore.
Jeremy Tanudtanud I updated my phone immediately to Oreo after purchase so I had a clean install in fact. But battery life is 1.5 days with normal usage.
I upgrade to but i see that you have the button of the circle on the toolbar that you click on there are colors for me after the update is not like that why ?
Does this update already come with USB-C to HDMI output support? It should be a native feature of Snapdragon 835, but it is not (was not?) supported by Sony in its XZ Premium. Both S8 and U11 and many other phones have it. Can someone test this?
Idk is that because the theme, launcher, or Oreo OS, that the UI in this phone is totally bad. Some icon have circle shape, some are squares, some are different shape. And the animation of going home from an app is just same as my Android M (just swiping down without any animation from the app)...
I thought aptx was already there? I had it for sure on my z3 not sure about the z. But who cares if you have "high" end sony bt headphones you get ldac from sony which is much better.
Probably not, but the phone is already maxed out in speed already. It's a speed demon, even the iPhone X failed miserably, especially in games where the XZ Premium was able to load up Temple Run 2 and GTA SA even faster by a couple of milliseconds, and in every other games, iPhone X is ever so slightly ahead as well; what a powerhouse the XZ Premium is!
And yet doesn't have small app, screen recorder and also double tap to wake up. I'd like to upgrade from my z5 but now this feature gone I think I'm gonna stuck on my z5 and my z3 lol
Jay Mike well it maybe true but still ridiculous act to remove this feature. I must say I'm not comfortable to always push the power button all the time just to turn on the screen. It has great durability, so for remove this consume battery feature, it's stupid. Don't you see another phone? They have it. So well i'm gonna stuck on my z5. Or maybe buy iphone or any other phone in the market.
Roger Wittekind yeah sure. You can use touch block if you don't want to. Well gonna be not convenient to open touch block feature through setting. mine's just need to use small app so one click setup and my phone won't active when it in my pocket. Be a smart guys if you think tap to wake up a waste feature, then wrong~. I don't want my power button broke so easily and then BAM. Dunno what to do. Well my friend own z5 and gladly have tap to wake up while his power button was broke. What can new series do when the only way to turn it on is broken? better thinking it now before something happen
Rio Rahmansyah Good point and I have had to have a power button replaced on an old LG phone before because it got wet. But my xzp is not my 24 hour phone so it gets turned all the way off a lot.
Roger Wittekind yeah well good for you. It's just my opinion as an old Sony user since the first z. New series is really great. No doubt about it. But with missing those features, it lost something special than any other phone. And I used those three features alot. Especially memo in small app. It's really good to have my memo hang on notification bar so I won't forget anything.
I think it was to reduce the battery drain. Because with double tap to wake your phone's touchpad always stays on when you switch off the screen waiting for your input which means it can cause some battery drain. Still a bad move to remove it though.
Stop telling people out there you don't need that feature when Sony did not provide it at the first place. If they DID you may off this feature manually.
This is a bias review mate, well done! I mean camera improvements? Really? Sony make the cameras for most of these mobile developers, the flagship phones have camera's from the same developers.
My sony Xperia xz premium still rocks solid.
Got mine last week.
No bug at all!
Everything is still great
XZ PREMIUM IS KING
SONY IS THE B3ST!
You forgot to mention the update in Sony camera to correct image distortion! For many users this is the biggest fix so to speak in oreo for the XZP
02 NUK
Samsung fan boys are hating that Sony got the update before hand! 😂
Actually the LDAC that sony phones have been using already is of much higher quality than the aptx from qualcomm
Maikeru Dabittsu thats why android made it to core
AkHil AcHu yes

is xz premium front camera has flash light feature like in XZ1?
spYder do you have the xz1? if so are the camera qualities of the xz1 and xz premium the same (Quality not features)
I don't know why people are so desperate to get the newest Android/IOS OS when it's never fully optimised until many months down the track. I don't want to be a beta tester at the expense of performance and optimisation..
Mr2pint Any software will have bugs even in its final version, it's a fact, consumers are the final testers, that's why feedback is very important.
what's that got to do with what I said?
I gotta say some people reported better performance on oreo than nougat.
And better battery performance as well
already updated...1.4GB ota
Reza Yusuf Gadjali bro bgmn penggunaan hp xz premium. ?
Very good
Best phone this year.
with 8.0 update
is front camera has the flash light feature like in XZ1 ?
Android chỉ có là sony chịu khó update hệ điều hành nanh nhất mà thôi.😊😊😊😊
a couple of annoyances is that it doesn't show the battery level of bluetooth devices, and they haven't updated the dialer application.
If you are going to give a biased review or review something you're not excited by... Then don't bother.
Was expecting a bit more from this update when I updated my Premium last week.

Seems a bit better on battery life for me and performance on mine has always been good

Warning: Upgradation of 8.0 to 9.0 Pie, spoiled the " 4K performance" of my Sony Xperia XZ Premium mobile phone.

I had it for sure on my z3 not sure about the z.
But who cares if you have "high" end sony bt headphones you get ldac from sony which is much better.

Is it any faster?
It feels faster and lighter than nougat.
Probably not, but the phone is already maxed out in speed already. It's a speed demon, even the iPhone X failed miserably, especially in games where the XZ Premium was able to load up Temple Run 2 and GTA SA even faster by a couple of milliseconds, and in every other games, iPhone X is ever so slightly ahead as well; what a powerhouse the XZ Premium is!

Gihan Prabash and yet they have double tap to sleep lol. It's a waste to remove that feature. It's really useful
Nick
I do not want that feature when the phone is in my pocket.
