As expected, Sony Mobile unveiled the new Xperia Z5 family, which includes three new smartphones for the moment: Xperia Z5, Xperia Z5 Compact and Xperia Z5 Premium.

We will be talking about the better-featured of the three, Sony Xperia Z5 Premium, which is also the world's first smartphone to boast an incredible 4K display.

Sony, the company that said earlier this year that it was not ready to launch a smartphone with Quad HD display, has just released a handset with a 4K screen, which is supposed to drain the battery's energy even faster.

According to Sony, the Xperia Z5 Premium's 5.5-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display supports a resolution of 2160 x 3840 pixels and includes TRILUMINOS Display for mobile technology.

The phone's display can upscale content to 4K, including videos and photos. The smartphone can also capture 4K video, which can be immediately enjoyed on the 5.5-inch display in their native resolution.

Hardware-wise, the Xperia Z5 Premium is powered by a 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, which is complemented by an Adreno 430 graphics processing unit and 3GB of RAM.

The flagship smartphone comes with 32GB storage inside, which can be further expanded up to 200GB via microSD card slot.

A power-hungry display requires a high-capacity battery

As mentioned earlier, the 23-megapixel camera on the back which features Sony Exmor sensor can capture 4K video. It also features LED flash and autofocus. In the front, there's a secondary 5.1-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls.

It's also worth mentioning that Sony Xperia Z5 Premium is IP68 certified (dust proof and water resistant) and drains energy from a non-removable 3,430 mAh battery that features Quick Charge 2.0 technology.

Sony Xperia Z5 Premium will be available for purchase beginning November 2015 for around €800 ($900), but pricing options may vary by country. The smartphone will be available globally, but the dual-SIM version will only be released in some countries.
