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
With its excellent screen, superb performance, long battery life and great camera, the Z5 Compact is the complete package if you want top performance in a small package. Especially as fewer manufacturers are making well-specified smaller handsets.When it...
Fantastic compact size, Lovely design, Great fingerprint scanner, Loads of storage space, MicroSD card support
720p screen, Camera is slow to boot, No USB Type-C
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 d...

Abstract: Many years ago, when I announced my plans to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, my friends were astonished that I'd go for anything quite so big. I'd look ridiculous, they claimed, holding that to my face. Well if I did – and there's no guarantee the phone was...
What I love about this device in this time of phablets and big screens is its perfect 4.6in display, which is compact and handy. It is also pretty light at 138 grams.What won it for me, in fairness, was its really discreet fingerprint sensor, which unlike...

By squashing powerful specs into a smaller, water-resistant body, the Z5 Compact earns the title of best "mini" Android phone...

The Xperia Z5 Compact is the best small phone around, but then there's not much competition in this area anymore and there are a number of phones offering decent specs for a lot less. Those looking for Z5 design and specs in a smaller frame will be please...
