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
There's no doubt that the Xperia Z5 is a solid flagship smartphone from Sony and an improvement on the Z3+. We certainly like the new frosted glass rear cover and the addition of a fingerprint scanner in that slim power button. Once again, the camera is g...
Waterproof design, Frosted glass back, Good camera performance, Great battery life
Fingerprint sensor has problems, Hard to buy in the U.S, Bloatware needs to go
The Sony Xperia Z5 isn't a flagship phone, and is also too expensive to be considered a true mid-range handset. It sits in something of a no-man's land, yet has the goods to be more than serviceable. The issue is that the device doesn't do enough to sta...

Abstract: Sony devices have always come thick and fast. After all, the original Z was only released in March 2013 and since then we've seen the Z1, Z2, Z3 and Z3+ (aka the Z4). However, the relentless pace of releases hasn't always been matched by an equal pace of...
Abstract: Many of us are getting to grips with the new Sony Xperia Z5 flagship. It has excellent camera capabilities and now the Camera 2.0.0 update has started to rollout for the Xperia Z5, Z5 Compact and Z5 Premium. Today we're showing a Sony Xperia Z5 camera upd...
We honestly cannot fathom why Sony is considered to be an “also-ran” in the world of smartphones, especially when it is able to produce a handset as likeable as this one. The Japanese tech giant should be applauded not only for creating a small-screen dev...

Abstract: Sony's latest flagship, the Xperia Z5, has been dubbed the "Bond phone", thanks to its appearance in the latest James Bond film , Spectre – and with its frosted glass back, embedded fingerprint sensor and stunning 23-Megapixel camera, it is worthy of the...

Slightly more Pierce Brosnan than Daniel Craig, the Sony Xperia Z5 is a solid phone that never quite blows us away. That is until you get to its camera. A feature good enough to recommend the phone on outright, this stunning shooter is let down by the pho...
