Haven't had any distortions yet using the video playback. I'll keep you posted if I run into it. I guess the most disappointing thing about 4K now is that it's beginnint to look "normal", ie you don't get that terrific excitement you did when you played 4K like you did on the Xperia Z5. The other thing also is that there is no indication on when HDR content is playing on the phone, even though I've put in original HDR content on the SD card and played it thru the video app. Netflix does not have any HDR options right now, and it's hard to tell whether the Amazon Prime feed is showing me 4K HDR. I'll take some screenshots of content and paste it here for opinions.
while on my walk outside with 3 smartphones (iPhone 7, Google Pixel and Xperia XZP), I found the Sony over sharpens most of the images, but sometimes it looks like the most lifelike. Usually the pixel wins out, the camera on that is just much better than this one, much as I hate to admit it. I've been using Sony smartphone since 2001, so I'm pretty much vested and keep my faith in Sony most of the time, to the detriment of my wallet.
However in some cases, the Sony is better than the iPhone. The camera starts up faster than the XZ, and the Selfies are much better than both the pixel and the iPhone 7, primarily to the large 13-megapixel front sensor.
Battery life on my 90-minute walk took the battery from 94% down to 53%, but I was streaming FLAC via Bluetooth (ldac set to preferred) the whole way, along with YouTube background streaming, taking HD & 4K video and taking camera shots to compare with the other two. I was also texting and making calls as well. Considering all that, along with the screen on time probably 40% of the time, I would say the battery is terrific.
I'll upload the photos and links later tonight.

Seems like I will be joining you guys with the Premium next week.
My XZ didn't serve me too well. On the other hand nor did I treat it too well 
Too many drops on the ground without any protection and my microphone is apparently messed up now
Next week will be like Christmas Eve for me 
Sony 55X930E and later the same week, the Xperia XZ Premium.
Incoming 4K HDR comparison.

@alinefx - nice pics. i think the XZP holds its own quite well against the pixel. details and color are on par if not better. I think DxO should score it very high. Btw your super slow mo vid link doesn't work. copy paste works, but the actual link does not.
@mckinley - damn! that sucks about your xz.. but glad you are joining the club!

Quick 72 hour update on my time with the XZ Premium.
It's quick, very quick. Makes the XZ feel slow and sluggish. I watched the Champions League final in 4K last night and I was just lost in that screen, the extra pixels don't really offer much difference to image quality as such but what you do get compared to other devices is crazy sense of depth to the image or video. As expected it just simply breezes through daily tasks without any lag at all. I haven't really had time to test the camera but i'm happy that it performs better than the XZ so far and is on par and if not better than some of its rivals.The Audio through my MDR-1000x headphones and some Hi-Res audio too is again taking things to another level. One other thing about the colour, I've got the deep sea black version and it's anything from black. Most of the time it looks dark blue sometimes green but never black. The phone looks stunning because of this and makes it a head turner too. Overall I'm over the moon with it and can see me keeping this for while rather than getting the next flagship it's that damn good!!

@XJ that sounds awesome. i wish i had a really nice pair of headsets to enjoy hi-res but the best headphones i have are the ones i got for free with the XZ haha. they aren't exactly top of the line. Tomorrow is the big day for me. I can't wait. It is definitely the fastest phone on the market in overall performance and that screen is going to be drool worthy. I did notice the thing about the color not being really black when I watched videos, but I guess that makes sense for something called "DEEP SEA" black? the blue/greens give that deep ocean water feel, which I think is very classy indeed. It's going to be all I think about tomorrow and I honestly don't think i'll be able to focus on anything else until I've got it in my hands and have set it up the way I like it.

So unlike my LG 4K HDR TV, this phone has no indication when its playing HDR content. A typical android screen capture won't work due to DRM so i had to try and take a photo of HDR content playing with the Pixel.
HDR Content Playing on XPZ
HDR Content Playing on XPZ - 2

@XJ oh it is... i am constantly refreshing the tracking page to see if it's moved but alas, it is still stuck in NY. I guess it's not scheduled to go out until late tonight or early tomorrow morning and make the 5 hour trip down here. sigh.
@alinefx - how does your LG indicate the HDR? What player are you using on your XZP? As far as I know from seeing vids/reading stuff (no real experience though), for online streams, you don't even see them as available unless your device supports it. But I agree, it would be nice if there was an indicate of 4K or HDR or whatever, when appropriate. BUt i think it has to do with the player or maybe a setting?

So, XZP owners - is there an option in the settings with regard to the display resolution like in the galaxy series or the screen is set at 1080p? |
