Sony’s 4K leadership now in a mobile device:
Xperia Z5 Premium stands as the world’s

vivid 5.5” 4K TRILUMINOS display for
mobile built with Sony’s BRAVIA TV
expertise including high density 806ppi

resolution of Full HD delivering an unrivalled viewing experience all in the palm of

trailer. You can also read more on the 4K display technology here.
The device is also built to allow you to delve deeper into your own creativity by
allowing you to capture video footage in 4K, with the option of preserving any
moment as an 8MP quality image. Add to that a host of Sony Handycam®
technologies means you can count on flawless footage.

A mobile camera experience unlike any other**:
Building on the cutting edge performance of the Z3 and Z3+, Z5 Premium combines
Sony’s next generation camera module, based on Sony’s interchangeable lens
camera αtechnology. As of September 2015, it was accredited by DxO, the
recognised industry standard for camera and lens image quality measurements, as
the leading smartphone for overall camera and video capture capability.
The large 23-megapixel, 1/2.3” Exmor RS™
for mobile image sensor ensures smooth,
clear capturing with true-to-life details. This
combined with Sony’s award-winning G Lens
captures more light and the 24 mm wide-
angle lens allows you to fit more in the frame.
The BIONZ™ for mobile image-processing
engine produces vivid, realistic colours and
reduces pixilation and noise.
One of the most exciting features Z5 Premium has to offer is its 0.03-second***
autofocus, which brings together contrast-detection for accuracy and phase-
detection for speed. Perfect for shooting that fleeting expression or split second
reaction, Z5 Premium lets you capture life’s greatest moments as they happen.
Tip 2: Find out exactly what can be captured in 0.03 seconds by checking out our
infographic here. And, why not experiment with the Touch Capture feature - simply
enable the “Touch Capture” setting in Xperia Z5 and experience how fast it focuses
before capturing the scene
Tip 3: Turn on Grid lines in either Superior Auto or Manual mode to help you capture
a more balanced and composed image.
The low light technology and next generation Sony image sensor means you’re now
able to capture beautiful night scenes as you see them, without the usual noise or
blur.
You can also get five times closer to your subject without losing quality thanks to
the power of Sony’s camera sensors, lenses and Clear Image Zoom technology.
With the continued popularity of content capture for social media, Xperia Z5 series
brings significant advancements in the evolution of Sony’s SteadyShotTM with
Intelligent Active Mode for video. Further improvements mean you’ll be able to
continuously capture action smoothly, such as riding a bike or skateboard, free from
jolts or shudders – check it out in action here.
Designed for life:

Balancing the latest technological innovations with a simplified premium design to
blend seamlessly into your life, Sony’s impressive design story continues. Designed
by leading creatives at Sony’s Creative Centre studios in Sweden and Japan, Xperia
Z5 Premium presents a high-gloss waterproof plate form, with etched mirror effect
Chrome, Black and Gold variations.
Rain happens. So do splashes and spillages. Even with elegant design and capless
USB, both devices have an IP68 rating due to Sony’s leading waterproof****design.
Z5 Premium’s design isn’t just a matter of beauty but also ergonomics. With an
integrated fingerprint sensor, you can pick up and securely lock your Xperia Z5
Premium in a single movement. Located on the power button on the side of the
device, Z5 Premium is designed to be both comfortable and practical.
Tip 4: Try locking and unlocking your phone via the fingerprint sensor to see how
quick and easy it is to access and then secure your Z5 Premium.
Powerful performance that meets demands:
Battery life is persistently one of the top areas where consumers want to see more
from their smartphone. Tweaked improvements mean Xperia Z5 Premium 3430
mAh battery offers up to two days of battery***** from just a single charge. This
means you can listen to more music, talk for days, and stay out longer without
having to worry about running out of juice.
With STAMINA mode you can extend this four-fold, plus with the brand new
optional Quick Charger UCH10 you can charge your phone fully in just 45 minutes.
Tip 5: Try loading up the settings app, and going in to power management. Put your
phone into STAMINA mode and see how much longer you can go between charges.
A flagship smartphone powered by an entertainment and content ecosystem:
Xperia Z5 Premium incorporates Sony’s rich expertise in audio technologies,
meaning you are able to enjoy sound in incredible details and clarity like never
before.
High-Resolution Audio uses twice the resolution (96 kHz) of normal (44kHz) audio
when recording the sound, and in doing so creates a much more faithful

reproduction of the original audio. Capturing hard-to-hear but incredibly important
harmonics that can be missed by normal recordings gives High-Resolution songs a
noticeably improved sound that is almost impossible to tell apart from true
analogue. Check out the graphs below that illustrate the greater frequency with
which original analogue soundwaves are sampled to prepare High-Resolution
Audio, as compared to CDs.
And now for the first time, Sony’s new High-Resolution Audio Headset MDR-
NC750 allows you to enjoy combined Hi-Res Audio music with Digital Noise
Cancelling – your tunes as they were intended to be heard, with ambient
background noise reduced by up to 98%.
PS4™ gaming on a smartphonei, through PS4™ Remote Play:
Keep playing your favourite PlayStation®4 (PS4™) games wherever you are in the
home with PS4 Remote Play******. Simply connect your Xperia Z5 series device to
your PS4 via home Wi-Fi and use the DUALSHOCK®4 Wireless Controller to ensure
you never miss a minute of the action – whatever room you are in.
