It’s a smart addition that genuinely enhances the iPhone experience and isn’t the gimmick I thought it’d be. For the uninitiated, 3D Touch brings an extra dimension of control to the iPhone’s display, allowing users to register soft and hard presses on the screen. So why the extra width and bulk? The answer lies in the iPhone’s new taptic engine, which powers the iPhone 6S Plus’ biggest feature: 3D Touch. In typical Apple fashion, it’s not really noticeable. In an untypical Apple fashion, the iPhone 6S Plus is larger and heavier than its predecessor.

In ploughing all its efforts into the 4K display, Sony has neglected the software, which, with Android 5.1 and a Sony UI, is no different to the previous model. The Xperia Z5 Premium is not without some flaws. Add to that a waterproof design, expandable storage, a reasonably quick fingerprint scanner and you have a very capable handset. The 23MP sensor picks up an incredible level of detail, has a fast 0.03 second autofocus, reduced quality loss zoom and good low light performance (a feature that escaped previous Xperia handsets). When it comes to the camera, Sony went back to the drawing board and atoned for previous mistakes by making the best smartphone camera of 2015.

Although little content is actually displayed in 4K - in order to save battery - but the 4K footage that’s available looks astonishing.

In that 4K display is a resolution of 2160 x 2840, with a ridiculous 806 pixels per inch. Someone had to do it and Sony was the first one to cross the finish line.
