The Xperia XZ Premium is the successor to the XZ. It now comes with a larger 5.5-inch 4K display that supports HDR and features better dynamic range, contrast, and 40 percent higher brightness levels. The front and rear glass panels are Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5, while the metal frame has been double-anodized for a more premium look and feel. The rear glass has a mirror-like finish, with the Deep Sea Black and Luminous Chrome color complementing that finish. The phone is also IP68 certified that makes it dust and water-resistant.
