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
Sony Xperia Z5 review – Battery life Sony tends to make lofty claims about its phones' battery lives, that ring true to begin with and then slowly decrease over time. Take the Z3 for example, it lasts a strong two days for about a year and then drops off...

Great design and finish, Good camera performance, Fingerprint scanner
Can get hot, Software slow, Battery life isn't as good as it was in older devices
For all the posturing of the Sony Xperia Z5, there is something that's incremental about it. The design has progressed a tiny amount and for the most part we like it, but it's not a dramatic move like we've seen from Samsung, so will likely be perceived a...
Abstract: This review is currently based on the projected specs which are rumoured to feature on the upcoming phone. Please note that we can't confirm that the details below are 100% true until the handset is launched. The Xperia Z5 is being linked to a September 2...
Improved sound quality, Good fingerprint scanner, Sharp photos, Crisp, rich picture, Fast operational speed,
Runs too warm, Only Full HD screen, Screen could be brighter, Angular design less ergonomic, Not innovative enough,
In some ways, the Z5 feels like a revised Oxford dictionary. The language and layout is the same, simply more words have been added. Sony has largely stuck to the same Xperia Z script - the Z5 feels like a kind of mash up of the Z3 and Z3+ - and in terms...

Abstract: Sony's Xperia Z5 initially grabbed my attention because the smartphone looks different from most other Android devices on the market. At first glance the so-called “Bond phone” resembles the type of smartphone a secret agent would use in between bouts of...
Abstract: 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...
Great Build Quality and Attractive Design, Great Camera Performance, Dual-SIM 4G LTE Support, microSD Card Slot, Buttery Smooth Video Stabilization at 1080p 30fps, Fast and Responsive Fingerprint Sensor, Good Music Quality and App, Waterproof
Average Loudspeaker Performance, Battery Life Below Expectations,
The Sony Xperia Z5 is a really capable smartphone and a worthy successor not just to the Z3 but to the Z3+ as well. It may not break free from Sony's design language and that is probably one of the reasons why it may go unnoticed. But it is every bit a fl...
Classy Appearance, Bright and Vivid Screen, Snappy Performance, IP68 Certified, Good Camera
Bit of Heating Issue, Oddly Placed Volume Rocker
Love it or Hate it- Xperia Z series smartphones have been successful in impressing us. The series might have gone through some hiccups lately but the latest release- Sony Xperia Z5 Dual is a wonderful upgrade from previous smartphones. There is nothing mu...
