This basically has the same effect as the first procedure only that we’re trying to make sure the combination is done correctly. Holding down the Volume Up button before the Power key has a different effect than doing it otherwise. If by any chance your Sony Xperia XZ Premium is still not responding to this, then here’s the next thing you could do… Officially called Motion Eye, the Xperia XZ Premium has a 19 MP 1/2.3” Exmor RS for mobile sensor with a 1.22 μm pixel pitch, f/2.0 aperture and 25 mm wide G Lens. It also features 4K video recording, which supports SteadyShot video stabilization alongside the standard 1080p/30 fps and high-speed 1080p/60fps and a 120 fps recording in 720p options. The front selfie camera has a 13 megapixel sensor (1/3.06") with 22mm, f/2.0 lens and 90-degree wide angle lens, same as the Xperia XZ but now features SteadyShot with Intelligent Active Mode (5-axis stabilization) like on the XZs. Around the front there’s less difference, with both phones sporting a 13MP selfie snapper. Takeaway There’s also more power here and a bigger (though not massive) battery. Differences in the design are less striking, but there’s a sense that the XZ Premium has been further refined, and it’s certainly a good-looking phone.

The major change, though, comes in the corners - the softness we experienced with so many Xperia smartphones is now gone. The XZ Premium photos have as sharp and detailed corners as their center, and that's an excellent improvement over the past Xperia phones, XZs included.The aperture is one thing that hasn't changed for quite some time - it's still f/2.0, not the brightest out there, but it's really okay. Camera UI and features However, if the problem occurred out of the blue without apparent reason, then it should pretty easy to fix. To do so, follow these steps… You might rightly be asking why this is the case – and the answer would be battery life. Rendering 4K resolution every waking minute would absolutely decimate battery life, so instead you’ll see native 4K resolution in certain instances: when watching native 4K resolution videos in the pre-installed Sony app, for example. My desk at home is one of those space-saving flip-up desks, which I assume isn’t perfectly level when flipped down; the phone has fallen off it countless times. I haven’t encountered such issues with any other handset I’ve used.

Sony has worked on improving the Automatic White Balance and the colors are more accurate than their previous snappers. Indeed, the images turned out true to real life with accurate colors, great contrast and wide dynamic range. The Xperia XZ premium is also an extreme fingerprint magnet, looking smudged and greasy practically all the time – unless you obsessively wipe it down. The big selling point is the 5.5-inch 4K HDR screen. Currently, content that can fully take advantage of this is limited, but it’s growing all the time, and this is a huge jump from the 1080p display of the Sony Xperia XZ, as well as being bigger.

How to use the Software repair feature on Xperia Companion to reset my Xperia phone

Of course, that all comes at a cost, and the Sony Xperia XZ is still an accomplished, fairly recent flagship, so you’ll have to think about whether these differences really matter to you, or whether you’d rather save a chunk of cash and opt for the standard model. The Sony Xperia XZ Premium also has a brilliant slow motion camera, which can capture footage at 960 frames per second. Sony has revamped the 23MP camera they've been using for a while, and demoted the once flagship-grade sensor for its XA mid-range series. Instead, it developed a new top-of-the-line 19MP IMX400 ExmorRS sensor also known as Motion Eye, which we already saw on the Xperia XZs. What this means in practice is two things. First, the ability to capture super slow motion videos at 960fps (most are around 240fps), and second to capture images before you have even pressed the button. Yes, really. Sony went with a slightly lower resolution for this IMX400 Exmor RS sensor (previous models were at 23MP), but have kept the same physical dimensions, so this has resulted into the pixels being 19% bigger.

Notable features include a 4K HDR ultra-high resolution display and slow-motion video capture at 960 frames per second.

That’s probably a good thing, because the Xperia XZ’s megapixel count feels like overkill, and while you can take great snaps on it, rival handsets like the Samsung Galaxy S7 and iPhone 7 with far lower megapixel cameras have it beat.
