Extremely comfortable and playfully chunky Compact hardware, Excellent fingerprint reader with smart placement (though not so good for offhand use), Learn the quirks and it'll serve you well
The camera isn't as good as Sony would like us to believe, Neither is the battery life – power users need to carry a power pack or have a charger on hand, Inexcusable pauses and slowdowns, despite updates in the interim, Rear lip is a turnoff on the stand
The Xperia Z5 is a conundrum, and that conundrum is the reason this review has taken so long for us to put together. Rather than just marking the phone as a “don't buy”, I think it's worth taking some time to figure out why you would and wouldn't buy the...
It's good to see Sony lavishing some upgrades worthy of the name on its flagship phone. With an impressive new camera module, a fingerprint reader and refined design, it's a highly competent handset that, for fans of previous Sony phones, raises the bar s...

Sturdy, solid Sony design, More powerful, with more RAM, compared with previous models, Clean, easy to use user interface, Decent camera
Mostly identical to older, now cheaper, Xperia phones, Fingerprint scanner is a bit flaky
The Sony Xperia Z5 is exactly what we expect from a Sony flagship: nothing more, nothing less. There's enough power onboard to make for smooth, seamless operation, and the camera is good. For better or worse, if you've seen any Sony Xperia Z model release...
Beautifully designed and built; One of the most water resistant phones out there; Excellent camera (when it loads); Still supports upgradeable memory; Can be used to control a PlayStation 4; Supports a fingerprint sensor for enhanced security; Location of
Phone can get a little warm; Battery won't hit two days (as advertised) even with Stamina mode; Camera takes longer to load up than it should; Fingerprint sensor won't touch wet fingers; Bugs;
Because of the bugs and battery life, it's hard to fall in love with the Z5 the same way we did with last year's Z3. Perhaps when they're ironed out, we'll find a phone that has the goods to really take on the competition, but until then, it feels a littl...
The Sony Xperia Z5 looks good, has plenty of power, its camera can take some great snaps and it won't die when you spill your drink on it
Only minor updates from its predecessor means it lacks the excitement of its rivals. Its waterproofing no longer allows for full submersion, meaning it can't be used for underwater photography
Even with strong specs befitting a high-end phone, the Sony Xperia Z5 adds little over its predecessor to make it an exciting option over rivals like the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge...

This is a very good phone but it is not necessarily any better than the iPhone 6s/Plus, Samsung Galaxy S6 series, or the LG G4. Most international reviews compare it favourably with Samsung S6 series, LG G4, Moto X Play/Style, and iPhone 6s/Plus. Techr...
Sammanfattning: The Sony Z5 smartphone. Photo: Peter WellsThe Xperia Z5 and Compact are essentially the same phone in two different sizes, small and medium. A larger Z5 Premium is coming in November, but that's for another article.There are a few small differences betwee...

Sammanfattning: The Xperia Z5 isn't yet released in the Australian market, and Sony is making some bold claims about the quality of its camera, and not without good cause; the camera can produce some amazing results, but is it really the market leader? Last night in Sydn...
Sammanfattning: With almost all Android manufacturer's user interface overlays starting to melt in to one homogenous, stock-like Android experience, it's becoming harder and harder for flagship handsets to stand out. They're all offering much the same experience, so it s...
Great camera, Excellent battery life, Solid design
Heats up a lot, Mixed performance from processor, Display could be better
The Sony Xperia Z5 will retail for just shy of R12 000 depending on your retailer, and for that price you get a smartphone that should be great based on its specifications, but ultimately falls short of expectation. Perhaps the Z5's saving grace is its 23...
