It can play your local videos and videos on your home network - all in native 4K, of course, plus it has extensive subtitle settings. Named simply Video, the app is a lot more than a player. It's still available to download from the Play Store, of course. There's no FM radio on the Xperia XZ Premium, and Sony's proprietary song recognition app Track ID doesn't come pre-installed. According to Sony, the result is near Hi-Res Audio Quality, but it only works with wired headphones.ĭynamic normalizer evens out the volume differences across tracks, which is great if you've mixed multiple albums from multiple sources. Then there's DSEE HX, which uses an almost wizardly algorithm supposed to restore or rather extrapolate compressed music files, like MP3s into high-res audio. The Music app offers a variety of audio settings - ClearAudio+ determines the best audio quality settings depending on the track you're listening to. The app can find the track's video on YouTube, look up info about the artist on Wikipedia, and search for lyrics on Google. You can share music from the phone to compatible players. The contextual side menu offers much of the same browsing options - by folder, network folder and online services, in this case, Spotify (it's just a link to the Spotify app though).

The Movie Creator can automatically or manually make shareable slideshows Music app Then tap the Share button and send out your animated slideshow. You can do it manually too: pick photos and videos, change their order, add color effects and music (you get a small audio collection to start you off, but can use custom files too). It automatically creates short videos from the photos and videos you've shot. Movie Creator is similar to the Google Photos Assistant. Sketch is a fun image editor with a mini social network for sharing art We stuck with just browsing through what others drew. If you're talented (the below screenshot reveals our mediocrity), you can share your creations on the Sketch mini-social network. Sketch lets you fingerpaint over a photo or a paper-like texture, add text, stickers, photos and so on. Image editing is handled by several apps, including the default Image Editor, Sketch and Sticker creator (so you can create your own custom stickers to send to your friends). Then there's integration with online albums - Facebook, Flickr, and Google Photos (someone should tell Sony engineers this is no longer called Picasa). This includes network storage so that you can view photos from a DLNA server (your home computer, for one). You can also browse photos on a map instead (you can manually add geotag info too) or by folder. The Album app is beautiful and functional Photos are organized by month, and you can use pinch-zoom to change the size of thumbnails (then they smoothly animate into the grid).
Lower down, the first photo of each month is shown at twice the size of other images. At the very top of the list is a slideshow, showing off your photos.
The Album app organizes images into groups of thumbnails and sorts them by date. It switches to 4K resolution upon opening a high-res image (this means most of the time considering the 19MP snaps from the camera). The Album app is among the most comprehensive and feature-rich gallery apps we've seen, and it's fast and easy to use.
