Sony's mobile division has been in a rut for a while. If IDC's latest report is anything to go by
Dominance by the likes of Huawei and Lenovo is only adding to the company's woes. Rather than sticking with the standard formula of yearly refreshes
It's 2015 and this is the same style and design of smartphone that Sony have been calling the Xperia Z for three years now. Is that a bad thing? Well, that's up to you. When Samsung, LG and Motorola are offering up compelling upgrades with new and impr...

One of the best smartphone cameras on the market, Great performance, Lovely screen
Sony's design language is getting tired, Underwhelming battery life, Last year's version of Android
Sony's Xperia Z5 is a mobile photographer's dream with a breathtaking camera and great display. However, you're likely to be turned off by the underwhelming battery life. It's a respectable choice, but other Android handsets are even more compelling...
Abstract: Why have just one flagship when you can have two or three?This is the situation we find ourselves in with Sony's 2015 fall line up. Making its debut at IFA this past September in Berlin we now have the Xperia Z5, the Xperia Z5 Compact and the Xperia Z5 Pr...
good battery life, water resistant, front facing speakers, elegant design, fast, clean software, good picture outdoors
not the best display, expensive, camera suffers in medium/low light
The Sony Xperia Z5 is a great smartphone, but once again is an incremental update from its predecessor - the fingerprint scanner being the biggest new feature. Although the Z5 is a durable device with fast and clean software, you'll have to ask yourself i...
The Sony Xperia Z5 looks good, has plenty of power, its camera can take some great snaps and it won't die when you spill your drink on it
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
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...
Abstract: Back with a vengeance or a whimper?Twice a year every year, Sony issues a new flagship Android smartphone. This rapid pace has propelled us from 2013's Xperia Z to today's Xperia Z5, across five generations of what's been fundamentally the same formula: d...

Sony's Xperia Z5 is one of the most desirable and feature-packed phones of 2015, boasting a strong everyday camera, sharp visuals that can be customised how you like and an improved (but still gorgeous) design that incorporates one of the best fingerprint...
Major design improvements, Great fingerprint sensor, Stronger battery life
Expensive, No wireless charging, Still heating up
The Xperia Z5 is a huge improvement on the Xperia Z3+ with a new fingerprint sensor and a sexy design, but there are still a few little issues stopping it from getting that perfect score...

Extremely comfortable and playfully chunky Compact hardware, Excellent fingerprint reader with smart placement (though not so good for offhand use), Learn the quirks and it'll serve you well
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
The Xperia Z5 is a conundrum, and that conundrum is the reason this review has taken so long for us to put together. Rather than just marking the phone as a “don't buy”, I think it's worth taking some time to figure out why you would and wouldn't buy the...
It's good to see Sony 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 previous Sony phones, raises the bar s...
