Fitted with a superb 4K display and 23 MP camera, the Z5 Premium has many enviable elements, but falls just shy of being the go-to 5.5" flagship phablet.
PROS
Superbly crisp display; Solid camera performance; Good battery life; Generous screen real estate
CONS
Difficult to handle; Back cover heats up when multitasking
VERDICT
Retailing for R13 800, the Z5 Premium is quite an investment. But the fact that it's the only phablet touting a 4K screen at the moment gives it a distinct edge. For phablet users aiming to be ahead of the pack, the Z5 Premium should indeed stand you in good stead, especially if you put said 4K capabilities to use on a regular basis.
