Since the video is in French, the information is not clear but from the translations of various French readers helped to connect the dots. Based on the translation, the Xperia Z5 Premium will feature a whopping 4K UHD display on a 5.5 inch screen. When released, it will become the first smartphone to feature a 4K display and we are eagerly waiting to see it in action. On the other hand, the Xperia Z5 features a 5.2 inch 1080p display.
All three devices will boast a 23 MP camera on the back which is claimed to be the ‘fastest autofocus on the market’ with a focusing speed of 0.03 seconds and improved low light performance over the previous Xperia devices. The Camera app lets you choose the resolution in the Superior Auto mode between 8 MP (16:9), 20 MP (16:9) and 23 MP (4:3). The fingerprint scanners are on the right side of the device, also claims two day battery life, dust and water-resistant design. The interesting thing is that the USB connector is also said to be waterproof but there is no visible cover.From the previous leaks, the Xperia Z5 is rumored to run on Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, have 3GB of RAM, 32GB storage, and an 8 megapixel front facing camera.
