The Sony Xperia XZ Premium is in many ways the most futuristic phone of 2017, as not content with just a QHD screen like the Samsung Galaxy S8 and LG G6, it’s instead got a 5.46-inch 4K 3840 x 2160 display.
It comes in at an unprecedented 807 pixels per inch. To put that into perspective, the Samsung Galaxy S8, which itself has one of the best displays around, comes in at just 570 pixels per inch. And it’s a screen that supports HDR content too, making the Xperia XZ Premium the world’s first smartphone with that combination.
And that’s not all the Sony Xperia XZ Premium has going for it. It also has a top of the range Snapdragon 835 chipset, paired with 4GB of RAM, a mammoth 64GB of storage and a microSD card slot.
The design is stunning too, with a mirrored glass back paired with a metal frame, and there’s a brilliant 19MP rear camera capable of taking 4 photos before you even hit the shutter, so you never miss a moment.
It’s leagues ahead in video, as the first smartphone to be able to capture slow motion footage at 960fps, and it’s got a high-spec 13MP front-facing camera.
Rounding out the specs, there’s a fingerprint scanner, dust and water resistance and a sizeable 3230mAh battery with fast charging, combining to make this one of the most exciting phones of the year.
The network is offering the phone in Deep Sea Black (though don't be surprised if other shades arrive later) on plans starting at £32 per month with £129 upfront. That's an Essential Plan, but grab it on an Advanced Plan and you'll also be able to take advantage of Three's extras, like inclusive tethering and free roaming in 60 locations.
Best of all, right now you can get the first 6 months half price on Advanced Plans, meaning you can get the Xperia XZ Premium from just £20 per month for the first six months, with just a £99 upfront cost. That also gets you a respectable 1GB of data, unlimited minutes and unlimited texts. But whatever plan you choose you can't go wrong with a phone this good.
