Sony Xperia XZ Premium G8141 and G8142 Model Number Differences

Updated on Sep 6, 2017 by Tuan Do

The Sony Xperia XZ Premium was introduced along with the Xperia XZs, and the ZX Premium attracts a lot more attention because it’s the flagship of the year by Sony. As compared to other Android flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S8, S8 Plus, or the LG G6, The Xperia XZ is clearly the winner, at least in terms of specs.

The most prominent features of the XZ Premium are the super sharp 5.5-inch 4K HDR display, the 19MP Motion Eye camera that supports super slow motion videos at 960fps, the Qualcomm’s newest Snapdragon 835 SoC with 4GB of RAM, the water-resistant construction with glossy mirrored surface, and Android 7.1 Nougat.

The phone is available in 2 color options, which are Luminous Chrome and Deepsea Black. Apart from the color, the XZ Premium is also released in two variants, namely G8141 and G8142. They both have the same cameras, the same SnapDragon 835 processor, the internal storage of 64GB, the same network connectivity and battery.

Let’s see the differences between the two model numbers.

Model Number Sony Xperia XZ Premium G8141 Sony Xperia XZ Premium G8142
SIM Nano SIM Dual Nano SIM (Dual-SIM Dual Standby)
Carrier / Country North America & Europe Asia & Europe

So, the only difference in hardware is the SIM card tray. The G8142 is the dual-sim version and you can use 2 Nano SIM cards in the dual standby mode. That means both SIM cards could be active and you will be able to receive phone calls or messages from either at the same time. When you are using a SIM card for phone calls, the other will be temporarily inactive until you hang up.

Which version do you buy in your country? Let us know in a comment below.

    Good morning. I would like to convey my many thanks to you for your very informative and useful difference between the two models of Sony experia xz premium models. I have been searching for the same but could not find it but fortunately yr column has published it. I would like to inform you that I intend to purchase this new phone. Two things I would like to clarify from you. First whether I can buy it from Dubai 8142 model which is for Asia including India. Whether the same will be available in Dubai in Sony stores or through souq.com online store etc. Since the price difference in India and dubai is around Indian rupees thousand. Dubai price is cheaper.Secondly If I purchase it from dubai whether I will be getting all the features of the phone which will be available in the phone if I purchase it in India. And also if I purchase 8142 India Model from dubai whether I will be getting all the future updates. As you have mentioned the only difference between both the phones is of single and dual sims. Pls help me. And if I purchase 8142 India Model from dubai pls also tell whether model no. 8142 meant for India will be available in the markets of Dubai. And whether I will get the guarantee for one year in India if I purchase it from dubai. Thanks and regards
