Best Smartphone from Sony.

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2016

I love this phone very much, especially it's front & rear cameras & pictures nice & sharp. Sometimes gets a little hot on the battery depending on usage & I always have to save power & cool it down. Connects my Sony Smartwatch 2 perfectly to handle calls & messaging. This reminds of my old phones I had that used to be under the name Sony Ericsson.

not a good cellphone the operation system is the worst

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2016

not a good cellphone the operation system is the worst, very inconvenient, press 3 time if you want to make a phone call, very frustrate, and camera is always on, this phone is always overheating, all the apps will pause because this . camera quality is good, battery is not very good design, will not able to provide a long time using. Sony didnt do a good job for this phone for sure. recently they just upgrade the operation system, is getting little bit faster, not big different still, really need get rid of this phone at any time!!

Good Phone, but Eats Battery at Low Life

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2019

Screen quality is good, but battery drains pretty quickly once it starts running low -- it does have power saving settings, but it doesn't do too much. Battery life is about 4-5 hours when using it a bunch, maybe a full day at minimal use.

Touch screen is accurate and responsive. Gestures work well, and small links/buttons, and typing aren't an issue at all.

Pretty good phone. It's sleek and fits well in any pocket.

I'd recommend it.

Everything I was hoping for. Upgraded from the original Z which I used for over two years before the battery started to run down quicker than I liked.

So far pretty good upgrade from my Z3. My only complaint is volume rocker position. It's a little low. Fingerprint seems too work well.

I've always been a fan of Sony / Sony Ericsson phones and this phone is no exception. I've just switched over from the Xperia Z, the original one in the series, and my wife has been using the Xperia Z3 for the last 6 months, so I get a pretty decent idea of the evolutionary phases this phone has been through. (I am not sure why I upgraded from the Z though because that was still going strong with a good one whole day of battery, no lags and no issues at all even after 2 yrs and 10 months of use, but the z5 is still welcome :-)

Firstly, if you are looking to upgrade from the Z3, you will notice this phone is identical in terms of dimensions and screen size. The good thing though is the flatter sides compared to the rounded sides on the z3 or z3+, this makes the phone much easier to handle and less slippery in the hands, but trust me this thing is still slippery with its frosted back and matt finished metal sides. I quite liked the rubberised edges on the Z, z1 and z2 which gave you that secure feeling when handling the phone but if you are one of those who slap a cover on anything, then you shouldn't be worried about it at all. I personally don't. (This phone is less slippery than the iPhone 6/6S / 6plus /6S plus).

The other noticeable upgrade from the other Z models is the fingerprint sensor which replaces the standard Sony power button. This thing is super fast and if you are one on of those who click the power button to see the time on your phone then you will certainly unlock it in the process. I'd recommend double tapping the screen to wake it up if all you are looking for is the time (the double tap wake up feature can be activated in the settings).

The Z5 sports a much better screen compared to its predecessors. It is Full HD like all the previous Z models (and honestly speaking you don't need a 2K or a 4K screen as all it does is drain the battery). The difference is in the contrast through and once you place the Z5 and the Z3 and the Z side by side you will notice how much better the Z5 is with deeper contrasts. (I don't prefer the Super AMOLED displays on the Samsungs because of the over saturated colours - they do have lower power consumption though and help with the battery life).

In general the battery on this phone is really good. Keep the Stamina mode activated and you will easily get through a day with heavy usage and may be a couple of days with light to moderate usage. The phone comes with a fast charger and charges pretty quickly in case you ever need to re-charge during the day.

I have noticed the phone does get hot / warm with certain heavy duty applications, but should be good if you are browsing or making phone calls. I don't think it gets hotter than any other phone though.

Sound is awesome with 2 front facing speakers, It is very similar to the Xperia Z3 and wont let you down.

Call quality is great as usual.

The phone is well balanced with its weight spread out evenly so it does not feel top heavy. Frosted glass at the back means no finger prints :-) It does not look as stylish (after the fingerprints have been wiped) as as the glossy glass sandwich construction on the previous Z models, but if you have not owned a Z before you will like it. The phone looks, feels and handles like a premium phone should. There is no feel of a cheap material or plastic anywhere. The minimalistic design of the Zperia has always been appealing and this phone is no exception.

I have not tested the camera on this phone so can't comment on it.

On the overall, this is a great phone, looks and feels more premium and stylish than any other premium phone (yes even better than the S6 / S6 Edge).

My verdict, go for it. THIS WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU.

PS: The phone is supposed to come with a pair of earphones but mine did not. I called up Amazon and they confirmed it should have earphones. I am not too bothered because my earphones from the Xperia Z are actually better than the other that come with this phones, but do claim your if you don't find them in the box.
