The "Sony Xperia Z5 Premium" has made itself pretty loud on the smartphone market primarily for its 4K display. But how is the phone when it comes to the battery life? We have seen Sony do impressive work on many of its Xperia phones' batteries, but the problem with the "Sony Xperia Z5 Premium" is that its Snapdragon 810 chip isn't so much battery life friendly.
The phone comes with a massive 3430 mAh battery, which is 500 mAh more than Z5's (which by the way scored 73 hours on its battery life test). However, it looks like the Z5 Premium can't beat the Z5 when it comes to endurance rating.

For 3G talk time, the "Sony Xperia Z5 Premium" lasted around 20.5 hours.
