IFA 2015: the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium is now official and features a 4K display

Sony‘s press conference at IFA 2015 wasn’t exactly filled with surprises, but the announcement of its devices confirmed some features that we didn’t necessarily believe in the rumours. Chief among its announced devices, theÂ Sony Xperia Z5 Premium is now official and boasts the world’s first 4K display on a smartphone. On its 5.5-inch display, that makes for an utterly mind-boggling 806ppi (pixels-per-inch) and Sony says that the device won’t suffer to much from this extra visual acuity thanks to a 3,430mAh battery that will last two days. While it may take awhile for the world’s technology to even take advantage of the Z5 Premium’s 4K display, the device includes 4K upscaling technology to help make the most of its early adopter status.

The Z5 Premium also wasn’t named that way for the fun of it – unlike the Z5 and Z5 Compact, the Z5 Premium will feature a special mirror-like finish that gives it a rather futuristic look. It also features the same 23MP camera on the Z5, and for all intents and purposes, is pretty much the same device on the inside as well, rocking a Snapdragon 810, 3GB RAM, 32GB with microSD support and the same IP65/IP68 water and dust resistance. And of course, it features the same fingerprint scanner that is now embedded in the power button.

Sony says that the Xperia Z5 Premium will become available in November this year. What do you think about the world’s first smartphone with 4K display?
