Smartphone 4K HDR in action: check out the Sony Xperia XZ Premium's display



Admittedly, it's a bit tricky to convey that distinction when the screens are being filmed (not in HDR) and displayed on your home computer or phone's display (also not in HDR). We've done our best to give you a taste of what the XZ Premium can do here, but this is one of those screens that you're really going to have to see for yourself for the full impact of its image quality to sink in.
From what we've seen today, the Xperia XZ Premium seems all kinds of promising. It's got a display that's nothing short of impressive, runs what sure seems to be the most powerful processor around, and manages to not look half-bad either (its predilection for picking up fingerprints like a magnet notwithstanding).
We're going to have to take one of these handsets back to the PhoneArena labs and perform our full spectrum of display tests on it before we can close the book on the Xperia XZ Premium and its 4K HDR screen, but that's one analysis we can't wait to perform. Keep checking in with us to make sure you don't miss it, and for now, enjoy this first look at the display in action.
