Been after an upgrade for ages and found this phone. Ordered it Last week and it arrived in 2 days :). Absolute beast of a phone, I'm amazed its gone under the radar really. Its officially going to be released in the uk anytime but oddly it was potentially never going to be sold here. I managed to grab one from overseas for £650 :). Retail price is going to be £800 I believe.

First time I used the camera I was amazed at low light performance. It can literally see things you cant. I took pictures of sky at night and you can see all the clouds in detail. Stars i couldn't see appeared and I could see my cat sat on the fence in the dark I didn't even know he was there till I pointed the camera. It does a great job at this. Iso related noise is apparent specially in extremely dark areas but it helps improve pictures around dusk immensely images appear almost as if taken in day.

The screen is just amazing but it was pretty good on my z5 premium. and the Front facing speaks are outstanding specially with vibration adding to the depth of bass. watching some UHD videos and the surround sound really works well. you can clearly hear where the sound is coming from and really pops around you.

I'll leave the description at that for the minute as ive had a long day :). interesting to hear what people think of this phone as I was surprised it hasn't been mentioned at all here.
 
You can view Youtube in HDR and it looks grrea
Not sure I see the point in powering a 4K display only to render everything, except a few select apps, in 1080P

Its a lot better now, My z5 premium was literally supported by nothing at the time and that was disappointing. Youtube in HDR is amazing and just viewing everything in gallery is great. the support is growing and tbh I like the fact its in 1080 for screen and 4k for content. everything scaled nicely and saves battery.
 
Are they good quality?
I am trying to open them but can't really see them zoomed because the application kind of freezes with weird colours all over my display...

Yes they are pretty good. I had my Panasonic LX100 camera with me and most of the time preferred to just use the phone... Can't say why you can't open them. Works fine opening link on browser.
