On the other hand, XZ Premium features a quite big 5.5-inch display with 2,160 × 3,840 pixels (807 ppi) resolution. According to Digital Trends, XZ Premium is bigger and better looking than XZs with diamond-cut at edges and wrapped in durable Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Both smartphones feature curved edges.
