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
Expandable storage, Good size, Waterproof, quad HD screen, camera
Overheating still an issue, Runs Android 5
It is great to see Sony regain their mojo and come back with a nest of phones with similar form factor and features at varying budgets that will appeal to a lot of people. Sony have always had a core fan base who have been left more than a little bereft a...

Beautifully designed, great HD screen, amazing 23MP camera with fun, unique features, excellent general performance, no overheating problems
No major updates over the Xperia Z3+
The Xperia Z5 doesn't bring many new features over the previous iteration in Sony's Z series, but does remain a unique offering compared with many other Android smartphones out there, providing great performance, a brilliant camera and an excellent screen...

Abstract: Update 11/09/2015 - Sony appears to have altered the extent to which it regards the Xperia Z5 as waterproof. Although marketing for previous Sony Xperia Z-series Android phones have shown the smartphones being used to take photos underwater, Sony's suppor...
For some, the Xperia Z5 will have come far too soon after the launch of the Z3+, but for me, it can't have come soon enough. While it's slightly disappointing that Sony continues to persist with the same screen size and resolution, the display itself is t...
New revised design, Improved camera, New fingerprint sensor
Expensive end of the line, No wireless charging, Still getting hot
Sony's Xperia Z5 is a remarkable improvement upon the Xperia Z3+ and is going to make any fan of the range a happy bunny. It looks stylish with a new thought-out design that really differs from the pack without being an ugly mess.Whether it'd be a real Ja...
