The editors liked

  • Great design and finish
  • Good camera performance
  • 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
  • The Sony Xperia Z5 looks good

The editors didn't like

  • 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
  • Expensive end of the line
  • No wireless charging
  • Still getting hot
  • Runs too warm
  • Only Full HD screen
  • Screen could be brighter
  • Angular design less ergonomic
  • Not innovative enough
  • 1080p screen
  • Few upgrades
  • Similar design
  • Gets very hot
  • Mixed performance
  • No USBC or Marshmallow
  • Bland design
  • Screen could be better
  • No Android Marshmallow
  • Overheating still an issue
  • Runs Android 5
  • Design too similar
  • Spec list not heavily upgraded
  • Fingerprint sensor has problems
  • Hard to buy in the U.S
  • Bloatware needs to go

  • It's good to see Sony finally upping its game and lavishing some upgrades worthy of the name on its flagship phone. With an impressive new camera module, a fingerprint reader and refined design, it's a highly competent handset that, for fans of Sony phone...

  • If you're going to buy a Sony phone, make it this one. The Xperia Z5 is the best phone Sony has ever produced and it's up there as one of the best Android phones on the market right now.After the abomination that was the Xperia Z3+, it would have been eas...

  • For some, the Xperia Z5 will have come far too soon after the launch of the Z3+, but for me, it can't have come soon enough. While it's slightly disappointing that Sony continues to persist with the same screen size and resolution, the display itself is t...

  • Abstract:  In the design of the unit, Sony has opted to make use of all four sides of the handset when it comes to the positioning of the various connection points and control options. Situated in the top left corner is a 3.5mm jack socket for attaching a headset de...

  • There's no doubt that the Xperia Z5 is a solid flagship smartphone from Sony and an improvement on the Z3+. We certainly like the new frosted glass rear cover and the addition of a fingerprint scanner in that slim power button. The camera isn't great comp...

  • Abstract:  Sony's flagship Xperia phones have long impressed as all-rounders, but can the latest Xperia Z5 continue the trend? It faces some tough rivals in the form of the Galaxy S6, and iPhone 6s, but if any company can produce a top-notch handset, we have faith i...

  • Waterproof design, Frosted glass back, Good camera performance, Great battery life
  • Fingerprint sensor has problems, Hard to buy in the U.S, Bloatware needs to go
  • The Sony Xperia Z5 isn't a flagship phone, and is also too expensive to be considered a true mid-range handset. It sits in something of a no-man's land, yet has the goods to be more than serviceable. The issue is that the device doesn't do enough to sta...
