Leading up to IFA 2015 there have been a ton of Xperia Z5 leaks. Finally, we get to see the real thing. We already knew roughly what we were going to get with the Xperia Z5 and Z5 Compact, but one we didn’t hear as much about was the Xperia Z5 Premium with the world’s first 4k display.

A big Z5 feature is a new large 1/2.3 Exmor RS™ for mobile 23MP sensor and F2.0 G Lens. Sony says this is the fastest autofocus smartphone camera in the world, which takes only 0.03 seconds. That is faster than the blink of an eye.

Just like in previous models, the Z5 will have a very clean and elegant design with a combination of metal and glass, while keeping it’s waterproofing. It has a 5.2″ 1080p display and will come in White, Graphite Black, Gold and Green.

It’s smaller variant, the Z5 Compact has a 4.6″ 720p display, making it easier for one handed use. It comes in Yellow and Coral, in addition to White and Graphite Black.

All the new Z5’s will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, a 64 bit octa-core CPU, 3GB of RAM (2GB on Compact), quick charge, and new battery standby features that are capable of two days of use. A fingerprint reader is also built into the power button making it easy to find and use.

The real excitement is for the Z5 Premium edition. It is the world’s first 5.5″ 4k display smartphone. That gives it a pixel density of 806 ppi. To make sure everything always looks good, Sony have stated that it will upscale all your content. That means everything from photos, Netflix, YouTube, and more, will all look great on it. The camera is also capable of recording 4k and being able to watch it in 4k right on the device. To power everything, the battery is 3430 mAh and also capable of lasting two days. Internal storage is only 32GB, but supports microSD cards up to 200GB. More than enough space for all those 4k videos. As for colors it comes in Chrome, Black, and Gold (see picture at the top for colors).
