Ultimately, the XZ2 Premium is a strong flagship with some quirky features. But it also has quite a few flaws. I won't harp too much on the outdated design, since personal taste is subjective, but I can't ignore the massive price tag.

The range-topping Xperia XZ2 Premium adds a 4K display and dual cameras to Sony's formidable Android flagship, but the phone remains stuck in the past.

Expert Reviews | Tom Bruce

Expensive, bulky and with below-average battery life, the Xperia XZ2 Premium lags behind the best flagship smartphones.

Trusted Reviews | Jon Mundy

It's a highly accomplished device by most technical standards, but it simply doesn't hang together as a friction-free, pleasant-to-use smartphone.

Unless you desperately want to film in 4K HDR or often find yourself filming in low light, this phone doesn't do enough for its high price tag, and it's not pleasurable to use.
