Sony XZ Premium Review: Clock Stopper

- The Sony Xperia XZ Premium is the first Sony smartphone to hit MrMobile's review roster, and it's not playing around. Cutting-edge silicon and a 4K display crammed into an ostentatious and water-resistant mirrored chassis means the XZ Premium makes quite a splash the moment you open the box. But it's only when you fire up the XZ Premium's super slow motion camera and shoot your first video at an absurd 960 fps that you truly understand what a monster this smartphone really is. Join MrMobile for the XZ Premium review!

[ABOUT THE XPERIA XZ PREMIUM REVIEW]
MrMobile's Sony XZ Premium Review was produced after 14 days with a Sony Xperia XZ Premium review unit on loan from Clove Electronics. The phone was occasionally paired with a Toyota Prius Prime and Casio ProTrek WSD-F20 smartwatch, and received a software update on the final day of testing.

That intro gave me geek chills!
+DetroitBORG Ha! Next time I'll go full Malcolm McDowell.
I have a completely irrational love for "Generations", I can probably quote the movie beginning to end.
+DetroitBORG Same here! Let's have a line-by-line drinking contest sometime.
+Roger Kirby Gets even creepier when you compare that scene to the core breach scene in Yesterday's Enterprise.
Hiiiii Michael!
I want your voice to narrate my life
Charles Xavier ... died a winner.

Finally a great reviewer who doesn't forget about Sony's flagship.
Magdiel Bishop Chill most I'm sure didn't receive review units.
Magdiel Bishop sony is stupid
Magdiel Bishop if he don't then his camera will stop working 😂😂
Magdiel Bishop yep..
Magdiel Bishop well, is actually Sony forgetting them, most companies would give review phones for people, while Michael had to get his from a UK shop.
oh dang that intro text though!!! very well thought of!
Concept Creator Hello friend!
he man!What up!
I love how every MrMobile video feels like Michael Fisher is telling you a story which always comes full circle. :D
A phone that can stop time? Should be called the Sony The World
Bob Fred Is that a JoJo reference?!?
Bob Fred MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA
WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Giorno on an S8 review and now this?
hahahaha
Words can't describe this review. It's so damn good. Intro is amazing!
I miss the days when phones had a physical camera button. The last one I owned that had a camera button was Sony Xperia Z1 from 2013.
Anish Somawar been beasting the Z2 since 2014, love it. Still fast as ever. Don't need to upgrade but definitely want the XZ premium international version :)
The display is one of the best out there (in professional mode). Colors are on point. Love this.
I need this in a smaller package :)
I just watched probably the best review video of XZ Premium.
the way you choose your words to talk about the phone.. amazing !!
honestly from your intros in the begining your my favorite tech review
This must be the first Sony phone I actually desire in YEARS!
also ... EXCELLENT REVIEW!!
This is the first I've heard of the over-night charge protection; Thanx
Long-time owner of the Sony Z5 here. The build quality is faultless, the design was enough to raise eyebrows during my visit to the US (wasn't available there at the time), and the fingerprint sensor is so smooth, you forget that it's there when you're unlocking the phone. Nice to see that Sony have stuck to all this with the XZ series.
that last shot of sea,reflecting on mirror finish!! awesome
watching the King from my XZ Premium. Top, PERIOD.
Best smartphone reviewer in the world by far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @mrmobile
Not really but I won't stop a fanboy's dream.
true!
Nope. Till the most anticipated LG V30 is out in next month or 2.
Ali Mirza reviewer...
Ali Mirza he never said anything about a phone.
Was waiting for so long for Mr. Mobile review of this beast !
Thanks a lot for reviewing it.. it's gr8 when u guys listen to your core audience.. Bravo!!
If I had the money....... I'd totally get this phone only for it's camera and that yummy yummy slow mo
ace 1121 me too
Btw i have over 12 sony phones. . Only xzs and xz premium is missing
TheMusketITuckedIt its not your money. . Idiot
TheMusketITuckedIt hmm.... Interesting, actually the term "having money " doesn't necessarily mean only that much money, but it man's that I can leave that much money aside for a *phone* ....so yeah i'd definitely be giving to charity much more than now if I had "Enough" money.
Thanks for the advice tho..
There's the ZXs that has the same slow mo capabilities, at a much lower price.
What's the hate with Sony phones? this has one of the most timeless designs.
Oh my gooood that intro is sooo epic !!!!!! Man you are THE best in the business
Hey MrMobile! I've recently made the jump from Apple to Sony after watching your "Alternative phones to iPhone" vid. I'm watching right now on my Xperia XZ1 and I can't get enough of this phone! IMHO, it's one of the more underrated phone of 2017. I hope you do a review of the phone soon, as it also deserves a video separate from its premium cousin. Cheers!
Why these companies neglect image stability when giving the video power to 4k, that blows..!!
watching on z5
thinking of switching from z5 p to zx p
Have Z5 too, in a month im getting new phone sto XZ P is in consideretion
Mine suffers from "Fingerprint hardware not available issues" and "Cannot record video" at random times so I am considering this phone imported.
Tech Triangle watching on z3
malek murshan you should wait to xz1 p
loving all the boating and sailing shots, beautiful.
You have the best tech reviews. Great job as always and Thank you!
Hi Res audio dac? Bluetooth 5?
DAC is Qualcomm's Aqstic DAC, so yes, HI res, and yup Bluetooth 5
That awkward moment when HTC, LG and Samsung do better work with Sony's sensors than sony does.
actually not a moment, years
Thai Binh every year. Lol
David hunsinger Check XZp photos. Far superior quality than any other brand right now.
Sethuna lmao you're hilarious.
Sethuna no OIS I bet any phone with it can run circles around that glass slab of garbage.
When I watch one of his reviews is like watching a short detailed movie where you get the best part of the movie in 6-7 mins unbelievable work 👍
Damn, the amount of effort that went into production of this video! Production quality is better than 90% of staff you can see on the cable TV.
I love sony mobile
And i which makes their phones better
video quality looks pretty terrible tbh
Fidel Guevara Sounds like your phone can capture 960fps with higher resolution?
It doesn´t change the fact that the footage looks bad and that it isn´t easy to capture....
Fidel Guevara That it is because he is shooting in 720p *all the time* to use the 960 fps feature. 1080p recording looks amazing and don't even mention 4k!
Senson Pan it's a gimick tbh its not that good to have
I've been waiting for this review!
The best review ever of the xperia xz Premium on RUclips congrats and keep it up!
would it kill ya to slim the bezels even a little?
This phone's development probably started before the S8 was released
and if you remember
Sony is a bit democratic on changing things
mo101epic
More like they want to keep their company name in the front, which is BS. Should have put it in the back. Look at the moto x pure or axon 7 for example. Plenty of room for stereo FF speakers.
Hurileno This is true. Phone's are in development for at least 12 months. Increasing the size of the display may mean reorganizing everything inside and changing the software.
Btw wanna hear a fact?
1.sony has camera button
2.samsung has bixby button
3. future IPhones will now have siri button😂😂😂😂
I like all your reviews, but this one was particularly well done!
Outstanding Review & Visuals You Captured Were Eye Pleasing.. Background Score Selection Is Top Notch..
What's the name of your other channel
+Taylor Shockley ruclips.net/user/rapidnadion
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] thank you sir i am now subbed to 2 of your channels
Sony xperia xz premium is a smooth operator.
Nice work, another well done review
Mrmobile love your voice and reviews
What a sexy phone
Sony: 960 FPS
MrMobile: The Time Stopper!
SloMoGuys: That's cute.
Fanboys: BEZELS
Adarsh Elamplavil it's a damn phone
Paul I know!😅
Sony: 700 dollars
SloMoGuys: 11900 dollars.
Sterkriger more like $119000.
Once again another amazing video👍 keep up the good work. 🤘
Love love love my new xz premium....thank you for reviewing !
this, oneplus 5, or wait for pixel 2
Johann Lopez not going to wait for the pixel two because I don't have the highest budget
Is this gonna become your new daily phone?
Tarun Ramanathan nope
A gorgeous display, a great and conveniently located fingerprint sensor, a camera which can snap terrific photos (and really ugly photos as well), that video mode, speed in everyday usage, no slowing down by whatever, great audio, looks, etc.
Quite a lot to love.
And that's why the XZP is my daily driver, not my GS8+, not my Pixel XL and not even my HTC U11.
This phone has character and personality. Most of the other phones don't. This is what counts to me.
Nice review, appreciate your efforts to make such videos, love this phone
Great review! Again, I don't see this Sony phone as a cohesive and fully polished unit considering a high price tag. Galaxy S8 is much better value. "Paid by Samsung" comments, please.
mo101epic better design? Hell fucking no!
mo101epic It legit has more bezels than an iPhone, though😂😂. I thought that was never possible.
The price for the Sony Xz premium right now is lower than any of the other big phones. And the Xz premium has just about everything other phones have and perhaps even more to offer. Sadly it still won't get the respect it deserves. Super slow MO, 4K screen, headphone jack, water resistance, stereo speakers (front firing)..and Yes, so what it has bezels.
TechLineHD i choose xz over any device
RagingUtai award for the most stupid comment goes to...
The HDR mode is indead so annoying! You can only do this in pro mode... Then the OIS is not in the normal slide of pro mode but again hidden in the settings.. WHY!?
other then that fully agree. The 960fps doesn't get boring, But for me where the camera matters... I can't stand the XZ premium..
samshit fan
Y21 Rico how is this related to samsung?...
Concept Creator because the features you want are available in galaxy s8 and you are indirectly shitting on Sony
Y21 Rico stop being a idiot fanboy and leave his opinion alone
Concept Creator HDR is called *Backlight Scene" and it works properly on Auto and Manual modes.
Why would you need OIS, which produces softness and blurriness on the corners of pictures/videos, when you can have Sony's unreal *Intelligent Active* digital stabilization. I'm as honest as I can be, take an XZ/XZs/XZp on your hands and try recording with Intelligent Active enabled. Compare it with another OIS recording from another phone and I strongly believe that there's no chance in hell you'll choose OIS.
Dat intro tho...so epic !
Great video as always !!
That intro script was so good I literally smiled thinking of how brilliant it was! How do you come up with these lines 😅
You really have your own unique style, and I dig it!
Is there a reason you had to remind me of Star Trek Generations? I don't want to remember Troi and Data crashing the Enterprise D.
+Dark Rush They say time is the fire in which we burn ...
The Enterprise-E is better anyways. :D
Magnetorheological Shut up, Wesley.
Sony over Samsung anytime
Why.. Im looking for a phone atm and im really interested in XZ premium but thing that you get ,,more'' with samsung bothers me.. i really want to make a good decision
why do you take sony?
why does sb else take samsung?
Really want to know in wich group i belong
Yeah i like every thing you pointed out
The slo-mo in this phone is so sick!!! 💕💕
Man, I just love your reviews. :-)
Never panic click so fast. Great review as always. Why can't the xz Premium have a finger print sensor enable other companies could?
Because the placement is so unique and a major US carrier put some deal with Sony to sell smartphones in the US for the cost of the lack of Fingerprint Scanner.
Idk why is it a big deal though. Installing a different region ROM will enable it, or just importing theirs from another country.
But no software trick can fix the weirdly placed fingerprint scanner and the memory lottery, as well as the inferior version of the phone that costs the same as the superior version in other countries.
I know this is not a correct way but just flash a different firmware and problem solved, still Sony should have finger print scanner enable as default
Johnny Pigman It's apparently a patent by HP or something that's stopping them.
What memory lottery is there, though? Do some models have LPDDR4 and others LPDDR4X or 6GB instead of 4GB? I am not familiar with what you mean.
a very kind review . . . for what is otherwise lackluster flagship phone.
Jhon Adrian Leonardo the only lackluster I see is your Kim Jong Un looking profile picture.
Excellent review. I live the slow motion video.
Always loved this phone, whenever I go into the shop it's always the phone I have a long play with but it's just not up to Samsungs level or even LGs now, but there is just something special about Sony that I just love
omg so many people hate this phone like Sony forced them to buy it.
And it's funny how people complains about 4k being overkill and said 1080p is good enough. But then when Sony goes out with XZs with 1080p, people said it's garbage because it's 1080p.
Gilgamesh LFX There is this thing called 1440p. Have you heard of it? Why do you base your comment on the extreme minority who think 1080p is too less?
is it a phone or camera review?
NJ Napila Camera in this phone is special it's real innovation from sony and i mean Slow-motion 960
I know this is an old video but I still think this phone is a great phone even today. I have given my 5 year old this phone to play games, watch RUclips and take pictures and he loves it and it still works great for eveything I stated above. I've definitely always had a soft side for Sony phones.
U always make good reviews.
Not ever gonna buy a Sony product people hate Sony because they have a bad after sales service.... Every time I buy a Sony product it gives me shit..., when i contact service center to fix the device those jerks know only one line.... Sir you have to pay 50 percent of price of the device to get that fixed... I have faced problems with my TV with my Sony phone with my Sony headphones with my Sony entertainment system I don't know the service ratings of other countries but in India.... It's very poor
Sounds like you need to learn how to take care of your stuff. Either that or don't buy directly from sony
In Germany they will replace any issue in 5 days (shipping included). When my Z2 was dead, they even send me a Z3
Good idea to have two phones?
Those bezels make it a no buy
You never failed to Wow us with your reviews. Great review Sir 👍
Your reviews are just legendary Michael. 👏🏻
But, is it 🅱 O N E L E S S
Sorry boneless machine 🅱️r🅾️ke, we have bone machine tho
I don't like the xperia design. Which is weird because I still think it's a pretty phone. I don't like that the corners are square. It feels like they were too cheap to cut the corners (ironically).
Darnell W. I agree about the design. I think what I dislike about it is the 'boxy' look.
Darnell W. I wish the corners were more square tbh. I want a phone with razor sharp corners … it'll be a pain to hold, but I think it would look great :D
Funny thing is that I love the design. It reminds me of my Lumia 920/1020 days with Windows Phone. I could understand why someone wouldn't though.
Stevo Philo ah yes. The angles on the corners remind me a bit of my old 1520. Though I think it had even sharper corners. 920, 925 and 1520 … I love their designs. I actually also miss the design of the HTC 8s with its colourful bottom. Oh the days of Windows phone were so bold and bright when it comes to design. Such a shame … nobody is doing colours anymore … only black while and variations of silver is all we get
Unbox your phone
Great choice of music, I love it buddy!
You won my like and my love with that opening. ♥️
Sony with that god tier software optimisation. Dab on them haters!!
LeBeautiful Did you even read that before you wrote it? God tier cringe.
Erik Tamarit yeah, its everyday bro #jakepaulers4life
i like sony phones but i wouldn't say their optimisation is their strong point....
LeBeautiful I hope you're using the term "dab on them haters" ironically...
I had a Sony phone for 2 and 1/2 years. Changed to a custom launcher after a month because of how terrible the software experience is. Otherwise great phones.
That phone could easily be built into a 6.5 inche. Very unnecessary 2 inches up and down . Waste of space
Bezel hater alert.
We get the dual front facing stereo speakers and large front camera sensor, and the large bezel means big protection to the main screen.
Drop your S8 now on a concrete for about waist height and show it to me in fully working condition with no cracks or dents whatsoever.
Axon7 and Moto X Pure would like to have a word with you.
Johnny Pigman
I had seen the NoteFE with big bezels which were blue.
I think Sony Flagship with colors that are not black/silver would be mega-amazimg.
I would want Blue or Red colour
Erwin Schrödinger
too bad there's not much contrast.The wallpaper itself has red tint.
But Sony is making great designs despite the huge bezels.They need to give a serious upgrade to front camera and front speakers.
Are you seeing MobySmartcats concepts.
Planning to sub
Great review as usual.
I will never get tired of your poetic!
Why do Sony mobile have so many haters? It's unreal the amount of flak they get at seemingly every phone they make; even if they made the perfect phone some entitled keyboard warrior would try to find some reason why people shouldn't buy it.
+EpicShrey514 I think a lot of the criticism is pretty fair. The company hasn't evolved it's design (hw or sw) in way too long and it's shipping flagship phones in N America with disabled fingerprint sensors. Obviously the mobile division isn't where a lot of effort is going. I just happen to like this particular phone because it has a camera that does things no other phone camera can do.
EpicShrey514 Because they always give the US market the short end of the stick (no fingerprint scanner limited, ways to purchase) when it comes to their flagships and want to charge $700 to $800 for them.
The US government is also the main reason why Sony can't put fully working fingerprint scanners in their country. They have a deal with a US carrier that will expire next year and hopefully allow them to provide an update that would enable it.
Still better than getting the inferior version of a phone in the US for the same price the superior version costs in the other countries *cough S8 cough*
EpicShrey514 so Sony and Samsung both have the same price. Think about this people will be amazed when you carry an s8 or this phone. Just the camera doesn't make sense right? It has to be good looking and should have more features...
Well, Sony had made a lot of missteps in the past, from the Z3+ to the X Performance.
The XZ Premium is probably the phone which I feel is the first step in properly righting the ship. I hope they keep going with whatever made them decide to actually start making a worthy Sony device.
Better camera then galaxy s8,,, fastest phone compare to iphone,, better ram managment, crispy display,, all in one is xperia xzp...😘😘😘
rocky reto no offense dude but if you think like this then you are actually living in a dream...
DAVEISION Gaming ^
Camera is definitely not better than the Galaxy S8
Yup.
According to DXO-mark it should be on par, last years Xperia X performance has the same score as the S8, the module on the XZP has been slightly improved, so should be comparable or better than the S8.
Man I am watching it over and over again!
I subscribed as soon as i heard your intro for this phone.
Sub 300 view squad!
NOTIF SQUAD ASSEMBLE
You make some great videos!
Probably the best review Mr. mobile has given on a phone. Almost poetic the way he describes slow motion.
A 4k screen that runs at 1080p most of the time and which is not visible in sunlight.
No fingerprint scanner in 2017 and no OIS. And some people call this best phone of 2k17. Lol 🤣😂
No fingerprint scanner in the *US bro
There is ois
A gorgeous display, a great and conveniently located fingerprint sensor, a camera which can snap terrific photos (and really ugly photos as well), that video mode, speed in everyday usage, no slowing down by whatever, great audio, looks, etc.
Quite a lot to love.
And that's why the XZP is my daily driver, not my GS8+, not my Pixel XL and not even my HTC U11.
This phone has character and personality. Most of the other phones don't. This is what counts to me.
Karsten Samaschke s8 has better camera and a far better design and s8's display looks more gorgeous. Don't deny it. ;)
U can do 4k all the time. . If u know little bit of programming, . No finger print scanner for us only, 5 exis eis better than any current flagship. . Amolded displays also has many negatives points also. Like burn in issue which is very common
Weak speakers, bad in sunlight, aging design, crappy outdated skin, no finger print reader, $700 or more...i wonder why they don't sell many in the US.
Dan Satalino outdated skin. . Really. . A lot better than. Samsung's cartoonist skin, 4k hdr display , 960 fps. . What else u need..
Are you blind or deaf? He said that the screen isn´t really bright enough, which it isn´t just like the first Z5 premium, and the 960 fps deal? just a party trick for an otherwise mediocre camera, again as always with recent sony flagships.
ROURKE its 4k hdr display. . Obviously screen will not get bright enough
So? the S8´s display is also HDR so if that´s not the issue then either sony SUCKS at manufacturing panels, or 4K in smartphones actually implies some really negative points, i mean not being able to read whats on your phone´s screen? 2012 issues lol.
The speakers are way better than the s8
although Sony doesn't acknowledge RUclips reviewers I am glad you took the dive on doing this one
you make awesome videos buddy..! i've seen a lot of your videos and love the way you interact and deliver you content thru verbals and all..keep it up.!! and yes not to forget, this title is hilarious..and maybe misleading for some ppl..! :P
Plastic side bezels. Joke on a phone of this price.
Cause every good phone needs a hater right?
Paulson Dumbbells plastic takes impacts better than metal or glass... So there's that
Paulson Dumbbells it's nylon I think. Pros of plastic without the cons.
Plastic serves as antennas which provides better reception
Here's a guy who sees everything as black and white.
I wouldn't use this if I got it for free. Those bezels
Jobaa87 u sound dumb
I'ts because he is. He'd rather have no phone than a really good flagship from Sony.
I already got a better phone in Moto Z and that one was released a year ago. Sony is about 2-3 years behind in technology
Incoming Sony fanbois
No, you would.
What an amazing intro. You are unbeatable.
very good review! the best one i've ever watched!
Don't buy Sony phones is my advice. The build quality is the worst. That glass cover glue will peel off if exposed to above average levels of heat. Sony UI is very dull and has no soul. Only reason you would get this is for that slow mo camera, is it really worth it
Their build quality is fine, so it the UI.. atleast it isn't slow or bloated.
Donaldo
I can guess you used z3 which had hardware malfunctioning but just remember you will comeback to sony the day you use any other non google amdroid for more than 6,7 months and thats where you find lag on any other brand than sony
The UI being "souless" seriously sounds like an insignificant criticism. Normally I don't like having to use 3rd part launchers, but in this case that really is a simple solution, since the phone isn't terribly bloated and the parts that would stick through look fine. It's a complete nonfactor
Don't get me wrong, this is a niche product, but for people who really want 900+FPS video, or a 4k display for that matter, this could suit them nicely
ibrar Adil It is quick yes but other than that the experience was awful. The glass catches fingerprints and becomes oily. and the other thing is Sony phones are the most difficult to customize and to put a custom rom on. Almost gave up trying to put twrp on the z3
Don't listen to this man. He's is probably one of the people who haled old touchwiz as featureful, while every other android manufacturer was slimming down their software skins. Sony's UX design is stock android, but with useful additions which vanilla android is yet to include.
I've never heard a single case of heat ever causing a Xperia flagship to break apart and unless he can provide some evidence, I can only assume he has some personal issue which makes him want to damage the reputation of Sony. Also, 'glass cover glue' LMAO, don't insult our intelligence with such a bad bait.
ohhh mrmobile I was just about to sleep then I saw the thumbnail and I couldn't resist .
greetings from Saudi Arabia
i only subscribed because i really enjoyed the video also your voice is relaxing.Looking forward for oneplus5t review :)
fantastic review .
