Fingerprint scanner
Beautifully designed
Great HD screen
Amazing 23MP camera with fun
Unique features
Excellent general performance
No overheating problems
I love the new design. It's a great improvement on the clear glass back and sharp edges of the Xperia Z2. The Z5 is lighter
It's thinner
And the frosted glass back is nothing short of gorgeous. I think it's up in the realms of the Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6

Its camera can take some great snaps and it won't die when you spill your drink on it

Can get hot
Software slow
Battery life isn't as good as it was in older devices
No major updates over the Xperia Z3+
It still gets too hot – the Xperia Z3+ was unbearable and though this is much better it's still not good enough. Playing a game for an hour shouldn't make the phone unholdable
And Sony needs to rethink the processor for the Xperia Z6
I really would have
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

Abstract: Sony devices have always come thick and fast. After all, the original Z was only released in March 2013 and since then we've seen the Z1, Z2, Z3 and Z3+ (aka the Z4). However, the relentless pace of releases hasn't always been matched by an equal pace of...

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 dev...

Slightly more Pierce Brosnan than Daniel Craig, the Sony Xperia Z5 is a solid phone that never quite blows us away. That is until you get to its camera. A feature good enough to recommend the phone on outright, this stunning shooter is let down by the pho...
Expandable storage, Good size, Waterproof, quad HD screen, camera
Overheating still an issue, Runs Android 5
It is great to see Sony regain their mojo and come back with a nest of phones with similar form factor and features at varying budgets that will appeal to a lot of people. Sony have always had a core fan base who have been left more than a little bereft a...

Even with strong specs befitting a high-end phone, the Sony Xperia Z5 adds little over its predecessor to make it an exciting option over rivals like the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge...
