The new Sony Xperia XZ Premium is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. So you can expect stunning performance and better battery life from the smartphone. Sony suggests that the phone’s 3230 mAh battery won’t leave you for a day after a full charge.
The Xperia XZ Premium also comes with a Smart Stamina feature, which is a kind of battery saver mode.
