Great design
Good screen
Excellent camera
Stellar battery life
If you're looking for strong battery life without compromising on design
This is your choice. The Xperia Z5 Compact offers a far better battery life than the rest of the competition right now
And that it manages this without bulking out its frame is fan

Plenty of power
Powerful innards
Compact design
Impressive camera
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

Small and comfortable

The editors didn't like
Can be laggy at times
Screen seems a little too small
Screen resolution is a big let-down. It doesn't match what we'd expect from a phone in 2015
And I wish Sony had made this a Full HD screen
If it had
This could have been a five star review – but I understand why it's kept at 720p. Saving on pixels has
Overheats
Disappointing screen resolution
Still a 720p display
No wireless charging
Screen is still 720p
A bit expensive?
It's small
But also chunky
Camera is quite slow at times
Lower power than bigger phones
Boxy exterior
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
Abstract: Sony updates its flagship smartphones rather frequently. The most recent additions to the range, the Xperia Z5 phones were available just barely four months after the Xperia Z3+'s local launch (the Z3+ is also known as the Xperia Z4 in Japan). On paper, t...
