The editors didn't like
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
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
Phone can get a little warm
Battery won't hit two days (as advertised) even with Stamina mode

After spending a while with the Sony Xperia Z5, I am actually going to be sad to see it go when I switch back to my Nexus 6. The build quality of the Z5 is one of the best I've ever seen, the screen is great, the performance is smooth, and the camera butt...
Awesome camera, Great battery life, Just updated to Marshmallow, Dedicated camera button
Feels fragile in your hand, Weird button placement, No stabilization for the camera, Fingerprint sensor removed
Quick takeThe Sony Xperia Z5 has a sleek look, designed with a metal frame and tempered fingerprint-resistant glass over the display. It delivers a decent display and a solid processor, with a battery that will definitely get you through the day. The real...
It's important to remember that our evaluation and criticisms of the Xperia Z5 are in relation to one of the better smartphone cameras presently available and one rated very similarly to the Z5, that of the Galaxy S6. While there are instances where the Z...

The Sony Xperia Z5 produces very good still image and video quality across the board and with its angular shapes and dedicated camera button offers ergonomics that, on a smartphone, come as close as it gets to a real camera. The device is let down by an u...
Viewed in isolation, the Sony Xperia Z5 is a great phone which excels in almost every area. It packs plenty of processing power, RAM and storage, while MicroSD expandability is a real plus compared with the iPhone and Galaxy S6. The Z5's screen is also b...
Abstract: “Can you review the Xperia Z5? ” asked several colleagues. And with that, I requested for a review unit from Sony Singapore. I believe many consumers have had great experiences with the Xperia Z series, myself included. But most of the Z5 reviews I read o...

Rightfully a flagship device, the standard Z5 is always going to be in the shadow of the Premium, super-flagship. But for a piece of hardware like this, available on Amazon for $565 or so, that shouldn't be too much to worry about if you're not too bother...
