The editors liked
Fast fingerprint reader
Impressive battery life
Stable performer with few hiccups for only 2GB RAM
THE
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
Small device with flagship internals
Clever fingerprint reader
Great battery
Excellent construction
Perfectly and properly small in a world constantly throwing out big devices
Spec'd to perform
Which it does
Upgradeable storage
Can play PlayStation 4 over a network (if you have a PS4 in the home)
Supports high-res audio
Res
The Sony Xperia Z5 Compact's small size makes it very comfortable to use
But without sacrificing the power and performance of a flagship phone. Its camera takes great shots and it won't die when you get it wet
Compact design
Impressive camera
Long lasting battery
Fantastic profile
Excellent 23MP camera
Water resistant
Finger scanner
Flagship-grade hardware
The editors didn't like
Nevertheless Sony has once again made a compelling handset worthy of your consideration if you're after a handset with a sub5.0inch display that's easy to use and reaches the calibre of much larger toptier smartphones.
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
Too many preinstalled apps
Good but not great camera
Can run a little warm
Screen hasn't changed much
If any
Camera can sometimes take a few seconds to load
MicroUSB drives won't load up
Its blocky design lacks the finesse of other flagship handsets
Compact design, Impressive camera, Long lasting battery
Still a 720p screen, No wireless charging
Sony's new small form phone is the hidden gem of the Xperia Z5 range - it's just a shame there isn't a Full HD screen...

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...

Sony's Xperia Z5 Compact has had to meet some key criteria this time, just as the Z3 Compact before it. It still needed to be the example for all miniature flagships out there, and surpass the high bar set by its predecessor, the Z3 Compact, a powerful —...

It's not that the Z5 Compact is a bad phone in any truly discernible way, it just isn't my cup of tea. And with so many other options in market, you really don't have to buy a phone you don't love. The Z5 Compact isn't fastest, cheapest or the phone wi...

Sony has three mobiles coming this year, and we've already checked out one of them, with the Z5 passing through our reviews desk with considerable difficulty. Unlike this review (Z5 Compact), the Z5 was a dog, with huge performance issues, major glaring b...

Abstract: Remember when mobile phones were hilariously enormous? As technology improved, they scaled down to the size of a landline phone. Then they kept going, becoming small enough to slip in a shirt pocket. When the iPhone arrived, it made a virtue of being just...
