So here it is! My final review of the Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium! A big phone with a really great camera. Also, for those curious about the 4K display. It only activates when you're watching 4K content or content that it can upscale. Browsing the phone or reading webpages is still at Full HD+ similar to the XZ2. Hit me up on discord if you have any questions! discord.gg/mattmoniz
Hi! :D Can you test the new camer update that ads bokeh and monochrome? www.xperiablog.net/2018/08/09/xperia-xz2-premium-first-update-adds-bokeh-and-monochrome-camera-options/
Gta 4 For them, people sould only go with Samsung, Apple and Google. And sometimes Huawei. They just don't realise that some other brands like Sony amd LG are doing things that no other brand is doing. Like wide angle camera and boombox on LGs and Ulta Fast and smooth Sony UI vs Samsung experience UI/ 4k screen etc.
SHORT, CREDIBLE, CONCISE, SMART, STRAIGHT-FORWARD. A reviewer that doesn't need 10 mins or up just to drag XPERIA phones DOWN. All you need is a short amount of time to pour out your honesty and highlight the down sides and the good sides of the phone. IDOL! Keep making QUALITY CONTENT.
reason to buy sony 1: camera (best of IMX sensors) 2. sound (dynamic vibration + hi res + dac ) 3. 4k hdr + bravia trademarks (cause it will be great to share/cast/push 4k content on your bigger screen ) 4. supports memory card (your pocket media device) 5. water resistance 6. wonderful battery life 7. playstaion phone
Most Asian reviewers are putting it on top of the crop actually. Some european and merican also, but most merican are biasly trashing it, as usual...them dont even care about performance, camera or tech, just biasly trash, out of simple brand preference. Asian reviewers seem to respect and give credit to tech innovation more, and westerns seem to care about design and trends preference mostly. It is really irritating, but is as it is...
youdarkraver yeah true I think but the funny thing is when Sony was leading the market by miles in terms of design, materials and IP certification (Sony still is the best at IP certification and durability by the way as can be witnessed in tests carried out on this channel ie "Matthew Moniz" and on Jerryrig, just search for the videos on xz2 and you'll know) the people you are hinting at had other preferences then, mostly those that were set by their preferred brands namely Samsung and Apple. However, I feel sad to the extent of wondering what really went wrong with Sony again? If you just take away those design issues, Xperia xz2 premium is simply the most perfect phone out there. The harsh reality though is that it simply isn't and that's not going to go in favour of Sony unfortunately specially with that $1,000/- price tag.
Although I do agree certainly to Matthews design complaints here (I absolutely prefer the old XZ Premium design and headphone jack with some less bezels like on plain XZ2), but "design issues" are also brand preference... You ll see... For ex, Most will complain about this here fp being too low placed, but none will complain about the Note9 one being too high placed. But its the same bad design issue. Most will complain about this here back design not being practical on flat surfaces, but none so far complained about iphoneX (and all alikes) back protruding camera being unpractical in same manner also. Most will complain about bezels design here that could be extra screen space instead, but none complain about the notches designs taking a serious part of screen space as well... Its all about what does some reviewers favourite brand do in design and the other (Sony) doesnt that makes them trash the phone for design. And we know mericans favourites are Samsung and Apple, so they dont mind their design flaws, but Sonys they do, up to a point where they score trash the phone just for the design preferences. Asians notice the design flaws too, but take a stance that the phone is so good in tech, those design issues can certainly be overlooked. and dont score trash it for their design preferences.
Great device, it'll be really for me to choose Sony mobile phones over others but this video really gives details on why it's better in some aspects...great video Matt
My favorite phone of this first part of the year. I'd like to buy it, but I still find my XZ Premium great at everything. This dual camera setup is epic though, even the P20 Pro can't match it (although it's more versatile)! And maybe the XZ3 will have the new 48MP camera...
Xperia has 4K HDR camera recording, 52000 of ISO and Super Slow Motion in FHD ... and yep S9 also has SSM but in lower resolution ... Xperia is better than Samsung

Pretty much the only unbiased phone/tech reviewer I've come across. Other reviewers are so biased they don't even bother reviewing the phones a lot of us want. Good work man, keep it coming.
GSMarena was kinda nice to Sony lately. I am a little worried though about This beast, because its the girl that s going to review it, and god, she got tiny hands, and she allready said, its a huge phone, and she can almost not hold it... so maybe women wont like this phone as much. lol.
I love the way you follow Sony overall but the thing is other reviewers are after money if Sony is not paying them they won't review it but you DIY it that's why I love your with bruh.....
Moniz is the truth, not biased at all. He doesn't buy into the hype of any manufacturers, just solid unbiased insight which is refreshing in an industry where most phones are judged even before they arrive. Support this Man!!!!!!
Got my current Xperia 28 months ago. It is better than day 1, battery life is also better. I am sure I can keep it more 2 or 3 years and battery won't need to be changed. Even with Snapdragon 810 inside.. Sony sells less because people do not feel need to get new one within 1 year. They know it can last 3 or 4 easily.
OpFusion The higher resolution has many benefits. Even 1080p content looks better on the 4K display than using it on a native 1080p display. The same happens with 4K tv's when you use on them 1080p content compared to a 1080p tv. Also the system ui looks clearer too. You have to use this to understand the difference.
I think its the first Sony phone from a long time to proudly wear the Sony name it's a shame people don't talk about it. Great review. You are on point with it. 👍🏻
Who needs a fingerprint sensor and what for? I dont need it so it isnt really a drawback for me. I love my XZ2. The Display, the performance the batterylife everthing is great and these specs were important to me. Oh and i forget that it has no Notch. It was clear for me to buy no smartphone with a notch. I testet it in a media store with the p20 and it looks stupid and anoying, looks like they forced it to stretch the display, for me it looks bad. No Notch in sony devices yes dont make any notch at all sony keep it up you got 1 new happy costumer :).
The fact that you are one of the few reviewers talking about this phone makes you one of my fav youtubers. But that in itself makes me sad that no one is talking about this beast :'(
I appreciate the changes on the design and the dual camera but I still love my XZ Premium my only cons of this are the bezels and the plastic sides except the top and bottom. The reasons why I won't get XZ2 Premium are no headphone jack, design needs to be more ergonomic especially the fingerprint sensor placement and the bezels, I know it is not a big thing but I believe Sony can make a phone with a smaller bezels than this like the other companies have done. I'm looking forward for next year for XZ3 Premium or whatever name will be. I believe 4K HDR display on a phone will be a game changer soon, remember when Sony launched Xperia Z the first high-end Android smartphone that is water resistant? Knowing that most of the companies are doing this now especially with their flagship phones. :-)
Now I'm very curious about what they put in Sony Xperia xz3 premium... There are rumors that xz3 premium will have 43mp camera... Holy moly.. Hands down🙌 to this real smartphone company.
You always with your great and true Smartphone reviews! This is something really incredible as the level of quality of the Xperias in recent years has outpaced all its competitors and is worth paying the price for something so good, professional, efficient and functional! Who likes toys to use in automatic mode like pushing a cart or talking to a doll will buy other brands! But! Those who like useful, efficient and professional things will only buy Sony and this is a fact ...
Matthew Moniz thank you for the lovely review. On the fingerprint I get it but it's ok. In the future, Sony should use the fingerprint under the display which they have from JDI fingerprint in the LCD under the glass and for the wireless, you should say that the phones are should be bundled with the box from the company since they're wireless and prices of the phone are getting higher. Other than that the phone is very good. I totaly forgot to mention this actually there is a difference between 2K and 4K and that's 4K makes it more crisper than the 2K. You don't have to see the pixels but what it shows clearer image and display. If you tried, to the change the XZP to a 4K natively??
Bollox you see a massive difference between QHD and 4K I own the Sony Xperia XZ premium and this as well as the stereo speakers and camera makes me love it
I have been using it for a month and I can say that finger print sensor is very easy to use and the size is very comfortable. Screen is amazing, 🔋 is very goid, camera is the greatest of its kind!
I have the XZ2 and its really a good phone, excelent battery performance, excelent speed in everything, good camera, excelent dual front speakers and excelent audio with headphones, and its going to get android 9 soon
First : u need to change the window, transision, and animator duration scale by go to setting - system - developer option FOR FASTER NAVIGATION AND PERFORM. Second : have u try the new software update? It's contain some improvements on camera like bokeh & monochrome mode also contain the august security patch.
Thats why I still put my full respect to Sony , I know there is a lot of great smartphone out there such like oppo find X , vivo Nex , Huawei P20 pro , Samsung Note 9 , Honor note 10 .......but my first choice still is Sony , cause this brand Quality is brilliant !!! I know many people in this world really hate you Sony but not me , I don't care what others people saying and I'll always stay by your side ...love you Sony😊 , to be honest as a user , I'm proud of you Sony , cause you bring too many respectable " world first " on the smartphone 😊👍👍👍 Move forward Sony , do not let those haters stop your glory💪💪💪
GREAT review of the phone. I do have a question. I'm currently using the XA Ultra and thinking of upgrading to either the XZ2 Premium or the XZ3. I found both to be around $650's. Which would be a better choice for camera? It will be my backup camera for travel as I'm using the Sony Alpha a9 for travel. Thank you.
Sony in future : Xperia -5 8K Screen 6.45 inches FHD+ Triple Pop - up camera : 32+12+19 MP Hexad camera : 60+48+40+19+12+8 Snapdragon 895+ 6000 mah battery 80volt Fast charging and 30volt reverse charging Price : 16999 rs : 6GB 128 GB.. LOVE U SONY..💕💕💕💕♥️♥️ ONLY FOR JOKE , DONT TAKE IT AS SERIOUS..😀😀
I like this phone but it is big, but usually that's never an issue with me due to the fact that I wear cargo shorts or workout pants on the usual. So the thickness of it would never make me uncomfortable.
I was weighing on getting the XZ2 or the XZ2 Premium today. Even though it wouldn't take me time to save up for it. I couldn't justify the price of the phone even for the 4k. I have a mirrorless camera so I can care less about phone camera specs. So all in all the phone didn't offer much more. Upgrading from a Z5 Premium I chose the regular dark green XZ2. Cant wait to get it Monday. Maybe in a year or so I will buy the Premium version when new devices come out and price goes down.
How does the camera of the standard XZ2 compare? I might get the XZ2 because you can find refurbished phones for only £320 GBP (around 410 dollars) on ebay.
Great review. I really appreciate your fair and balanced reviews. Also, I like that you don't say a product is good or bad just because of the brand. I use a SONY phone myself (the first XZ Premium) and have used it for thr last year. Personally I am waiting for the SONY XZ 3. It is shaping up like it might be a really good phone.
CAn I know about the video recording in xz2 premium. Do it have slow motion video setting. Do it have star capture, timelaps , electronic aperture, light painting, and other camera modes?
Hi, Thank you for doing review for this phone, I am confused about phone selection Can you please suggest me which phone i should buy under $800 ? Sony XZ Premium , XZ1 , XZ2 Premium ? Or anything else ? I am music and camera lover i want both without compromise

Matthew Moniz what is the theme/ launcher you are using in XZ2 premium... btw lovely review😍
@matthewmoniz is the camera better than the pixel2 or its brother xz2 ? Hope you can do a camera comparison. Thanks
Matthew moniz I like your videos very much..cuz you are reviewing Xperia phones in unbiased manner..keep your good works for future...
Same price as the new Note 9. Don't see this doing well with that competition.
Hi! :D Can you test the new camer update that ads bokeh and monochrome? www.xperiablog.net/2018/08/09/xperia-xz2-premium-first-update-adds-bokeh-and-monochrome-camera-options/
You're the only mainstream UA-camr covering Sony phones. You're awesome dude.
I don't know why seems silly
Matthew Moniz Others are totally biased towards Sony.
Brad Haines I guess both sentences are correct. The biggies on UA-cam, especially Marques and Lew just don't cover Sony.
Rohan Tolani exactly! Other tech UA-camrs just don't care! Others only talk about samsung ,Google, Huawei , xiaomi , blah , blah blah blah!!
Gta 4 For them, people sould only go with Samsung, Apple and Google. And sometimes Huawei. They just don't realise that some other brands like Sony amd LG are doing things that no other brand is doing.

reason to buy sony
1: camera (best of IMX sensors)
2. sound (dynamic vibration + hi res + dac )
3. 4k hdr + bravia trademarks (cause it will be great to share/cast/push 4k content on your bigger screen )
4. supports memory card (your pocket media device)
5. water resistance
6. wonderful battery life
7. playstaion phone
Maven Sony yeahh!! Amazing!!!
Maven Sony 7.1 You can use it as a second screen by conecting your DS4 to the phone AND 7.2 You can use it as a second controller for your ps4
yes , ps4 remote play, nobody mentions that
Wont u mention its performance?
Maven Sony 16:9 is a big reason too for watching movies ..
Never stop covering any Sony device , this is the only channel which talks about Sony devices. Great video!!💥
You said it man "why other reviewers aren't talking about it?" Really why I wonder...
Great review agree with all that you said 👍🏼
Thanks Umer!!
Matthew Moniz I must add that I am beginning to find a great respect for you. Do keep it up and people like us will be with you 👍🏼.

Sony is best ever I'm sony fan ☺️👍
Only reviewer hyped about a Sony phone,thumbs up I love it!
Thanks man !
This channel is great indeed. If you're looking for more SONY content, go search Pixel Peeper. It is as good as Matthew Moniz tbh.
When everyone is releasing videos on the Note 9 and Matthew releases a video of an Xperia, respect. 👍
Yeah. 😎👍🏻
Nice and unbiased review. 😊
Another notion which I forgot to add is that if you want to use your phone for VR than the 4k is pretty much perfect for that application.
Great device, it'll be really for me to choose Sony mobile phones over others but this video really gives details on why it's better in some aspects...great video Matt

About 4k screen. Its usefull if im zooming picture and edit it. I must say this phone is for professional haha.
Man i have the XZ Premium and when i look to other phones their screen look blurry to me. I can notice the sharpness because i got used to its screen.
kftı͗w Well that phone does not run 4k all the time, so I don't know what you on about.

Naime Shirou no you can't
Why doesn't DXOMARK take notice of it?
RKB WORLD because they want the turbo intercooler money from gimmick company named huawei-honor.
Dxomark is pure BS right now
RKB WORLD Cause Sony dont wanna give em...nor the device for testing, nor the money for points.
Because sony dosen't pay them
Well, my guess is that XZ2 scored much more than 100, then they will publish XZ2 and XZ2P together.
Agree, the camera is the main selling point of this phone
I think its the first Sony phone from a long time to proudly wear the Sony name it's a shame people don't talk about it. Great review. You are on point with it. 👍🏻

The fact that you're covering Sony's phones is a damn good reason to subscribe to you sir. Liked and subscribed. 👌👌👌
Waiting for your xz3 review! Waiting to buy that phone 😀
I have been using it for a month and I can say that finger print sensor is very easy to use and the size is very comfortable. Screen is amazing, 🔋 is very goid, camera is the greatest of its kind!
Matthew, how about its very high ISO feature for video recording? Is it really as good as Sony says?
One of my favorite UA-camrs! Great vid
Thanks Revive!
Agree! Underrated due to bias of other reviewers. I want to have XZ2premium!!!!
short but precise review, this is how to do it. i wonder what's in store for the xz3 premium, night vision like the A7S2?
A fan from India🤩
Thanks for the review as i was waiting for it
You're very welcome!
Hands down best and most full review on UA-cam
Thanks Ahmad!
Excellent review. After a long time saw a video who appreciates the Sony camera and gives genuine review.
See a Matthew video instantly hit the thumbs button
I have the XZ2 and its really a good phone, excelent battery performance, excelent speed in everything, good camera, excelent dual front speakers and excelent audio with headphones, and its going to get android 9 soon
I am a fan from today onwards.
Keep up the good work.
i wish that all the other reviewers stop biasing samsung or even huawei and give this device it's value! thanks for this honest review!
You're welcome! = )
Sony ❤ 😍
So true, you need a case and I'm glad I got one that separates the sensor from the lens.
Is the FOV of the selfie camera same as XZ Premium or Narrower? Saw some test videos where it was narrower.
First : u need to change the window, transision, and animator duration scale by go to setting - system - developer option FOR FASTER NAVIGATION AND PERFORM. Second : have u try the new software update? It's contain some improvements on camera like bokeh & monochrome mode also contain the august security patch.
Thats why I still put my full respect to Sony , I know there is a lot of great smartphone out there such like oppo find X , vivo Nex , Huawei P20 pro , Samsung Note 9 , Honor note 10 .......but my first choice still is Sony , cause this brand Quality is brilliant !!!
I know many people in this world really hate you Sony but not me , I don't care what others people saying and I'll always stay by your side ...love you Sony😊 , to be honest as a user , I'm proud of you Sony , cause you bring too many respectable " world first " on the smartphone 😊👍👍👍
Move forward Sony , do not let those haters stop your glory💪💪💪
ur the best smartphone reviewer I swear.
No one can beat this beast
I believe your opinion, this new device of sony has improved a lot in its camera
Very good review Mathew, it's just the timing. I don't think many would want see the review of the Sony when everyone is talking about the note 9
GREAT review of the phone. I do have a question. I'm currently using the XA Ultra and thinking of upgrading to either the XZ2 Premium or the XZ3. I found both to be around $650's. Which would be a better choice for camera? It will be my backup camera for travel as I'm using the Sony Alpha a9 for travel. Thank you.
Very honest review. Thanks. This will be my next phone.
Awesome review....
Mathew could you give the link of the theme or launcher you are using in XZ2 premium
Nova launcher
Why is there a red arrow in the picture at 3:41 ?
It's pointing out the texture details on the wall as you can see there's much more details on XZ2 premium's shot compare to p20 pro.
Great review! Would love to see a pixel 2 camera comparison too.

Awesome camera review as always
Matthew is the camera better than the Note 9? I own the Note 9 but I'm not blown away by it's reproduction of images.
I like this phone but it is big, but usually that's never an issue with me due to the fact that I wear cargo shorts or workout pants on the usual. So the thickness of it would never make me uncomfortable.
I was weighing on getting the XZ2 or the XZ2 Premium today. Even though it wouldn't take me time to save up for it. I couldn't justify the price of the phone even for the 4k. I have a mirrorless camera so I can care less about phone camera specs. So all in all the phone didn't offer much more. Upgrading from a Z5 Premium I chose the regular dark green XZ2. Cant wait to get it Monday. Maybe in a year or so I will buy the Premium version when new devices come out and price goes down.
kendallarroz what mirrorless camera u have ? I have the Sony a6000
I have the A6300.
Hey Matthew would the 4k display be less likely to get screen burn in? Compared to a QHD?
It's LCD so the chances of burn in are low compared to AMOLED
How does the camera of the standard XZ2 compare? I might get the XZ2 because you can find refurbished phones for only £320 GBP (around 410 dollars) on ebay.
love the b-rolls!!! how did you even manage to keep it so clean!? even with a cloth it just stays dusty :(
Quick, short and quite convincing kind of briefing. It works on my machine kind of mind very well. Thanks
I miss that Xperia UI and themes which are now unavailable in Xperia 1,5,10,10+ & 1ii, 10ii
What camera did you use to shoot this video , because it was really impressive , mkhbd quality 👍
Matt Do you think DXOMARK gives a better rating to XZ2P than p20pro?
I really wanna see how Sony puts up against n9, please make a video
Absolutely great review, keep up the good work. I own a XZ2 Premium and the camera is fantastic.
Heard the update for Bokeh and BW is available. Interested to see the follow up of the camera update 😍
I had no idea the back was actual chrome, on Amazon is looked like a frosted silver. Oh well I'll still be Happy when it arrives Friday :)
Matthew Moniz did you notice any heating issue during your usage?
Sony 💕
When does this phone become available in the UK market?
Great review!
However...you can't tell the difference between QHD and 4K but you notice the difference between DSEE HX via Bluetooth and wired? 🤔
I would love to know more on the battery life if you use it as a daily driver
Great review. Always love your reviews
Great review. I really appreciate your fair and balanced reviews. Also, I like that you don't say a product is good or bad just because of the brand. I use a SONY phone myself (the first XZ Premium) and have used it for thr last year. Personally I am waiting for the SONY XZ 3. It is shaping up like it might be a really good phone.
Thank you so much for your review! The review have made me determined to buy the phone. Thanks again and *keep up the good work!!!*
Unbiased channel thanks for this nice review and video
CAn I know about the video recording in xz2 premium. Do it have slow motion video setting. Do it have star capture, timelaps , electronic aperture, light painting, and other camera modes?
Hi, Thank you for doing review for this phone,
I am confused about phone selection

Sony XZ Premium , XZ1 , XZ2 Premium ? Or anything else ?
I am music and camera lover i want both without compromise
