Xperia XZ2 Premium vs XZ Premium vs XZ2 | Which Sony is best?

We compare Sony's two 4K HDR smartphones, the Xperia XZ2 Premium and XZ Premium, to see if the sequel is worth that extra money. And we also compare the Premiums with the flagship Sony Xperia XZ2, which boasts HDR but no Ultra HD support.

The Xperia XZ Premium was the world's first phone with a 4K HDR display, and in 2018 it's still a great mobile. That display is stunning, Sony's camera tech excels and it runs as smoothly as when we reviewed it. However, since then the Xperia XZ2 and Xperia XZ2 Premium have been launched in the UK. These 2018 flagships boast updated specs including a Snapdragon 845 chipset, while the XZ2 Premium serves up Sony's first dual lens rear camera. This offers bokeh and monochrome shooting, while bringing the 4K HDR video recording and Full HD Super Slow Motion of the standard XZ2.

Here we compare all three Sony phones side-by-side, so you know which one might be best for you. The Xperia XZ2 and XZ Premium cost around £500 in the UK now, while the XZ2 Premium will release at £799.
