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

The Xperia Compact is a pleasant surprise. A thoughtfully executed design and solid spec combines with several clever touches such as the finger print sensor power switch to create a highly usable and desirable Smartphone that is proof that good things do...
Well designed and put together, Surprisingly strong specs, Great camera and battery life
A bit too thick, Heats up while multitasking, A bit expensive
Sony has always done a great job of making smartphones, and while the Japanese manufacturer did not make as big a song and dance about its IP67/68 rated durability (waterproofness and dust resistance respectively), the Z5 Compact certainly feels well made...
Despite its diminutive physical size, the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact has some big shoes to fill and a lot of expectations to live up to. Albeit a little aging now, the Z3 Compact is still a solid device, with a very select market of its own and a group of fan...
Powerful Processor, Great Camera, Fingerprint Sensor
Display could have been better
Sony has been in the premium segment for a long time and the Compact versions of the flagship devices have always been fascinating as it offered all the goodness of the flagship devices in a smaller build. The specs are always top notch and the most impor...
IntroductionSony's back, and it's back with great aplomb. The company has brought us an entire Xperia Z5 family of smartphones ranging from the Xperia Z5 Compact for small pockets to the 5.5-inch Xperia Z5 Premium with the industry's first 4K display in a...
Abstract: While it's only been barely 10 weeks since Sony's Xperia Z3+ (aka Xperia Z4) was officially launched in Malaysia, Sony is now rolling out a new flagship smartphone, the Xperia Z5. The new Z5 looks like it could be the biggest upgrade from Sony since the Z...
Good battery life, Friendly to smaller hands, Plenty of power
Screen is still 720p, A bit expensive?, It's small, but also chunky, Camera is quite slow at times
The Sony Xperia Z5 Compact snatches the ‘small phone, big specs' baton from the Z3 Compact with ease. It updates the processor and the camera, and doesn't mess with too much else.It also beats the Z5 in a few fields, trashing its battery life and seemingl...
Wellbuilt and IP68-certified design, Very handy form factor, Nearstock Android experienced because of minimal software tweaks, Twostage dedicated camera button, Impressive performance from rear camera, Topnotch display
Overheating issues of SD 810 is very noticeable, Fingerprint scanner could be improved, Pricey

Beautiful aesthetics, Impressive camera, Great performance, Good display
Volume rocker placement, Slow camera shootouts, Fast heatups
Sony is known for its elegant smartphones, and it's astonishing that the Japanese company has managed to make the Xperia Z5 Compact a waterproof device despite not having cover flaps on some of its ports without altering much of its current design. It's a...
