@Xajel and DarkKrypt
I've still not managed to test the 4K in other apps, but will do soon. As far as I can tell upscaling occurs as reported by other sources: @720p and up.Will test 480p soon.
@Gitroo
X10 was a groundbreaker at the time because of the eye-opening introduction of Android and everything it could be. Compared to competition it was about on par spec wise, but Sony pulled it out of the big with design nd UI design, as per usual. Check YouTube for Sony's Rachel UI demo and you should be able to find timescape which was one of the first social network accumulators for smartphones. It truly was spectacular for the time. Build quality was spot on too, only thing at the time that beat it was the IPhone.

I do find that Erricoson was pretty unique and creative back in the days. I still find Xperia V the best looking phone in history until Sony bought them out then moved everything back to Japan. Its software supposedly still being handle by the Sweden team but nothing like how it was, just sticking as close to stock android as possible starting to feel lazy. With all the multi core SoC, they still haven't come up with their own multi screen operation which is super disappointing.

Thanks Ricky D for the impression, I heard a lot of praise for the X10, can someone give me a run down on why it was so impressive and what were its competition at the time? It came out before I even own a cell phone.
The Xperia X10 was a mix of awesome ideas that were poorly implemented. So it was announced in late 2009, at that particular time it was THEE Android, the 1st to use a 1GHz CPU, it had 384mb RAM, more than any Android in late 2009 and it had the highest resolution screen of any Android in 2009, it's only completion that year was the Motorola Milestone. What it also did was bring one of the 1st truly custom UIs in Android, the problem was that it was on Android 1.6 and SE had done almost too much to it. In terms of design the X10 was second to none and its camera was the best.
What followed was a lot of delays due to the software and so on, the Xperia X10 ended up being released somewhere in early to mid 2010, it had taken so much time that by release the HTC Desire had arrived with more RAM at 512mb, the best custom UI at the time; HTC Sense UI, had the same 1GHz CPU, and it had Android2.1, then the Samsung Galaxy S (i9000) arrived with Samsung's own Hummingbird CPU (now known as Exynos), it to had more RAM (512mb), a custom IU that strongly resembled iOS but was also incredibly fast and feature rich, had a SuperAMOLED Display, a ton of internal storage at the time (8GB), and it to had Android 2.1.
The X10 was then plagued with software update delays, it received Android 2.1 while the Desire and Galaxy S received Android 2.2 Froyo which had the JIT Compiler making them a whole lot faster. Th Xperia X10 also did not have multitouch which the Galaxy S and Desire had, making X10 a tad awkward for gaming, it also did not have a proper Camera flash, the flash was a Camera light it did not flash you had to manually turn it on like a video light and hope it would give enough light, the Desire had a proper flash, the Galaxy S did not even have a flash
Androids were just so quirky at the time.
Anyway, the X10 went down as the best looking Android with the worst support, we did get redemption when SE released Android 2.3 Gingerbread for it earlier than Htc and Samsung, skipping 2.2 Froyo, but by that time the X10 was old and successors of it and competition were out. SE made a lot of mistakes with it, the TimeScape UI that was like BB Hub basically aggregated all your social stuff from FB, Twitter to Email in one place, but it lagged like hell and when the update to 2.3 came along TimeScape was removed. MediaScape, the video and imaging hub was great, but TimeScape and MediaScape both were resource hogs and SE eventually stopped developing them, the Xperia Arc and onwards did not have it.
You may go check the Xperia X10 Rachel thread, there were a ton if arguments, complaints and compliments there, people jumped ship in droves due to poor support, some of us stayed, but I eventually gave away my X10 and got the GS2

EXCELLENT Analogy ... I had NOT even thought of this before! I guess that's why I took to BB10 so quickly as I actually LOVED the UI layout of TimeScape UI yet never got to use it.
right ... #Mindblown!
Well done! Looking forward to more posts of yours.
PS: So when will we see you LEAVE the SGS bandwagon and return to Sony?! Hmm.

Thanks man
Like I said, the X10 had awesome ideas, just poor implementation, Sony are forever so damn close to greatness but never go that extra step to achieve it. Look at how brilliant BB Hub is, that is a incredible implementation of what TimeScape should have been.
I very nearly left Samsung for the Z5 Premium, but I decided against both iPad Pro and Z5 Premium and got myself a Sony PS4 1TB along with PlayStation TV and PS Camera, so I'm still a major Sony supporter
If there is a Z6 Premium or Ultra that is better than the Note 6 I will get that, I keep a close eye on Sony all the time.

@Ricky d
"Battery life isn't as good as my Z3. But it will still last a solid full day. As an example, I got up at 8am, used the maps to get around the city of London until midday, sat on a train for three hours with nonstop streaming music and on WhatsApp and instagram, sat bored in the airport for 5 hours on CoC, music, photos and WhatsApp, then the battery went as I boarded the plane at about 8pm. 12 hours, but constant use. I'll post a screen of the usage later. "
Also I've posted this on whirlpool forum
"
http://m.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z5_premium-review-1344.php
I'm concerned about the battery life abit for the z5 premium
Sony xperia z3 endurance rating 85 hrs
3g talk 23.13h
Web browse 12.03h
video play 11.47h
XZ5P endurance rating 66 hrs
3g talk 20.27h
Web browse 9.29h
video play 7.14h (though every upscales, can you turn off 4k upscaling?)
XZ5 endurance rating 73 hrs
3g talk 17.13hrs
Web browse 14.35h
Video play 7.53 (which improves by 39 mins not much effect in 4k upscaling and .3 inch bigger screen
Hmm what to do now
As my Z3 has 6-7 + hours of screen on time..
And z5 is starting to look better battery wise then z5p
Edit ;
Going hunting for other reviews quickly
From express.co.UK
"
Alongside its standard Android battery saving mode, the Z5 Premium has some clever tech which powers down the CPU when there's a static image on the screen."
^ forgot about this
From phone Arena with a source from Twitter
There will be an upgraded stamina mode for xperia z5 series with marshmallow"
@Ricky d im Mixed in the battery I have a z3 which gives me 6-7 hours + screen on time
What's your screen on time for the premium
I don't really want to switch to another phone - The Z 5 Standard lol

@Gitaroo
Timescape was first and was better by conception. As Tsepz_GP pointed out it was ahead of the hardware and ultimately unfeasible to maintain. Timescape on the X10 also had full plugin APIs and saw other lesser social networks join the inputs.
@DarkKrypt
That day I described was the hardest I pushed my phone and the hardest I'm likely to push it so I won't be doing a rerun. But for that day I got 4h45m screen time (49% usage breakdown) when I was down to about 9% battery. This is the usage screen as promised. I don't turn on ANY of the optional power saving features like Stamina mode, Ultra Stamina or queue data nor do I use any power saving apps or ritually close recent apps.
