Is that all? Not at all, it's just the introduction.

Sony decided to sell this cellphone with an extremely powerful Octa-Core processor speeding at 2000 megahertz, included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 MSM8994 system chip with a big 3 GB RAM. Graphic intensive applications often uses a lot of CPU processing time, so this device also has a 450 megahertz Adreno 430 graphic processing unit to help the CPU with those tasks.

Sony is offering the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium in black, gray and gold. This cellphone only has 6.08" long and 2.99" wide, but it manages to hold a 5.5" screen. This cellphone is thin and good-looking, with a thickness of just 0.31". Talking about its aspect, this phone is mainly created with Glass and Metal. This phone feels much lighter than what you expect from a phone this size.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, a 23 MP back side camera and a 5 MP front facing camera. Its back side camera lens has a 1.8 aperture so it can shoot impressive pictures even in low lighting environments. This phone can also shoot videos up to 3840x2160 (4K) at 30 frames per second, and slow-motion videos in 1280x720 (HD) at 60 fps. This phone also has many cool characteristics: flash, fast burst mode, auto-focus, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, time lapse video, smile detection shooting and geo tagging.
