Sony has also collaborated with Amazon to showcase a few of its shows in 4K HDR on the phone from Amazon Prime Video, so it’s fair to say that there will be actual content to use with the 4K HDR screen on the phone. Sony is notably touting the phone as the world’s first 4K HDR phone, but we have to consider the fact that all of those pixels on a phone with a 5.5-inch screen seems like overkill. The Sony Xperia XZ Premium has a pixel-per-inch count of over 800, which is far more than what’s needed for a sharp picture where you cannot spot the individual pixels.
That said, HDR capability on a phone is a great touch, and with more HDR content being made available, this is a good move by Sony. LG has also revealed HDR support on its G6 smartphone, so this is likely to be a new trend on flagship smartphones this year.
