Sony Xperia Z5 Premium - User Reviews

  • No, Z5 premium is different. It overheats up to a very uncomfortable temperature. The screen shouts "don't touch me". The CPU begs you to stop the power thirsty applications. The glue literally melts. The battery drains within minutes. Till you have no other option than to wash the waterproof telephone with cold water. Trust me.

  • 4k but no 4k ! you can never watch 4k vr...what ever you do! adb hacking will only resize the screen size to 1/4 size... and no app can hold the 4k vr correctly you can never watch 4k youtube and adb hacking will not true 4k thats only emulation of screen size no true 4k you cant even playback mkv file or 4k hevc codec file... so what can i play with 4k? there is no 4k for sony ~ this is scam there is no 4k on z5 premium this is useless and the cpu heats up in 3minutes and stuck.... you cant play anything when its hot stink sony ! now i know why sony has gone out of market even google has kicked off sony phones... hahahahaha where is my 4k? where is my money? shhhhhhhhhhp

  • from where you bought this phone please share

  • plz have any one been able to upgrade his or her Z5premium Android version to 8.0?

  • i bought it yesterday. It's awesome. You can not defeat a royalty class smartphone like this with some BS overheating. Sony, im really honor having z5 premium.

  • Does anyone know whether or not I can use the 18W fast charge with a never phone if I switch out the micro usb cable with usb c?

  • replace battery..buy battery and ask shop to replace it..

  • i have upgrade my z5 ..rom and operating system too..buy part from shopee shenzen china ..pm me if wanna know..

  • i dont have plans to replace my z5 premium but my dog destroyed it. overheats when using 4k in more than 5 minutes but i dont use the camera I have a canon g7x mark ii. overheats if games like mobile legends also overheats when you watch youtube. its not a good phone but i have it for almost 4 years. i usually use it for call, text and browsing. not good for gaming and even youtube. im just a sony fanboy few years ago I will not recommend this phone to anyone

  • Im using one its stll super fast smooth and not over heats until i put brightness full in 34 Celsius in day

  • Hi, curious to see a long term z5 premium user, what rom do you use right now? Is it not overheating? I just got a unit with a broken screen (to be fixed later), but I want to know which is the best rom that addressed the overheating issue. And sometimes the sound on youtube playback seems to be desync over time.

  • I have been using this since the day it was released no problems for me been using it in pools for pictures.., for my gaming needs , the screen display were so good 806ppi , cameras were also good till now i have it and no problems or repairs at all sony were meant to last more thats why i bought sony products never let me down.., still using it and find no reason to change for the latest xperia

  • No it means that the pgone will close all apps and tells you phone is overheated therefore you cant use it until it cools down

  • it have camera heating problm?????....plz tell

  • Snap 810 + 4K display are the great combination for faster overheat, since snap 810 is the transition from 32 to 64 bit plus qualcomm just learned to make from 4 to 8 cores and qualcomm must make it under 1 year, so the chipset design is already defective, can't control the heat from clockspeed, if you feel the apps will freezing it is mostly because throtling down from overheat, yes sony didn't learn from defective 810 and still use it, while samsung didn't want to use it because samsung has already make 64bit 8 cores chip since Note 4 so samsung is in PRO level while qualcomm just student who begins to enter the higher level of chipset

  • I have this phon and is a Great phon And yes you can go buy it

  • My z5 premium is 3 years old and still very good. Battery is startig to get shitty, but that is to be expected with a 3 year old device. I see no reason to upgrade yet, I will change the battery only.

  • Some heat more than others, according to notebookcheck.net, this phone heats up to 43.1°C or 110°F under maximum load (100% CPU Usage), these temperatures can be reached under normal use. Somewhere around 46°C (113°F) and 47°C (117°F) is where you feel a slight burning sensation, not dangerous though. 41°C is the max for comfortable use for most people.

  • I don't really understand what people mean by a phone heating up. Is it that it gets so hot beyond handling? Every. Phone heats up at some point.

  • It's enough use for almost every task you throw at it. Only his heat, not a problem if you are living in Scandinavia

  • You haven't answered my question. Would you still recommend it?

  • The Sony Xperia Z5 Premium may seem amazing based on the details provided, however the main problem we face with this phone is the fact that it overheats very fast. The phone can get very hot as well as as another common problem for this phone is that you may also face problems in the future that your aux in isn't working properly and that you will have to download the app sound about to manually select the sound playback of the device. If the phone overheats, all your apps will be suspended until the phone cools down, in my opinion even though the phone says 4K, i'd say that it can really take up space really fast, furthermore the YouTube app often freezes based on my experience.

  • Please can anyone here tell me if I can still go ahead to buy this phone. Don't refer me to any other phone. I just want to know if it could still be of good use this year

  • Okay then

  • Go get s7, mate 9 or something from last year. Z5 premium is not for gaming. The cpu is to old

  • Well i want buy this phone, but did this phone better between z5 premium and xz/xa, i an heavy gamer but warm is not problem to me if its not start lagging

  • I've been using it for secondary phone, yes the battery life could be better and the heating issue is like any other sd810 but surprisingly good camera good design and can play pubg as backup with minor hiccup at low mid setting

  • im dying for phone like you described. z5 premium is the best design in my opinion. i realy want to buy it bit the specks are to weak for 2019.im vary sad that this design is gone forever maybe

  • Get a new phone bro.. 😀

  • what should i do nova legacy doesnt work on sony experia z5 premium

  • No

  • Can anyone let me know about its emui version and firmware version pls ??

  • Only if you run intensive apps like gaming and video recording for a very longtime.

  • Its long overdue considering most companies only support upto 3 yrs in security updates and 2 yrs Firmware Upgrade.

  • No

  • Does the Sony xperia z5 premium support wireless charging?

  • 19000

  • I've been using this phone for 3 years now. Great phone. Heating issue is common to Snapdragon 810..

  • Can anybody share their experience about battery .i want to buy .and what price in pakistan

  • I'm using Sony z5 premium for 1year now. It is good phone but have heat issue. And display is not bright as amoled display.

  • Does this device still recieve security updates? I haven't got anything after 2018 june

  • Nice one but littile bit expensive. I am still using almost two years. Used in multiple countries Australia, Singpore, India and Sri Lanka. This is my third SONY. And compatible with all my other SONY products.

  • Dear Sony, please recreate a phone like this Shrink the bezels to Mi Mix style OLED display No notch Side fp sensor Chrome, Gold & Pink colours

  • Does it heat up fast ??

  • Excellent choice i do have a z5 premium and it is a beast! also beautiful like a gem....

  • I'd love Sony to go back to something like this, but with OLED display and slimmer bezels.

  • Well, i have sony expria xa1 ultra and i want change to sony expria z5 premium, so what u think???

  • I couldn't play 4k videos on my device. Does somebody know a method to play 4k videos.? I tried various players like mx, vlc, installed different codecs but nothing work. I also changed display resolution to 4k, 2k using adb commands, still fail to play 4k. Only thing it can play is what i recorded in 4k using phone.

  • Come on man, I bought this phone brand new not too long ago and battery life has been awesome, even lasts longer on heavy use than my previous Huawei Mate 9 with it's huge 4000mAh. I guess it's different for all but you could get the battery replacement for a cheap price.

  • Forget this one. Need to charge at least twise. I'm not a gamer.

  • hard core usage battery backup?

  • Thanks for your reply. It's unforgivable for a premium phone to have headphone jack issues. What's even worse is the issue still remains unsolved by Sony...

  • I used sound about app to connect head set. It's kind of annoying, everytime need to switch on the app to make head set work.,and switch off to make loud speaker work, and need to select headphones ( no auto detection). One more, you have to buy pro version. My idea is don't go for this phone, go for xz,or xz premium. If you have more money xz2 premium give good overall experience with good low light camera.

  • Could anyone who owns the Z5 Premium share with me their experiences on the headphone jack malfunction issue? I'm considering this phone, but the headphone jack issue has me thinking twice or thrice.

  • You're joking right ? I have the XZ2 premium and it's a beast, buttery smooth performance even when watching 4K HDR movie or playing games while remaining relatively cool when compared to the S8.

  • I'd like to buy this phone and not the xz's. The Xperia Z series performs better then xz. Finding one... that is another issue. Apparently they wore too good.

  • xz premium, it has 4k hdr display. Some says you can't really see a benefit of having 4k hdr display. But i can see the quality of 4k display than fhd. You can see the difference when you watch low resolution video side by side. Plus xz premium never heat up when you do 4k video recording.

  • Go for xz or xz premium.

  • I'm interested buying this phone, is it worth buying in 2018?

  • It's same for me. I think we have to deal with it

  • why is my fone taking so long to charge almost 3 hours

  • I have a problem with my phone. The ringing volume, music & vibration is extremely low cannot even hear or feel it when in my pocket. please advise what can be wrong? As I was told that I need to back up all my apps and info and reset the device back to factory settings. Please help - South Africa

  • Same thing happened to me too

  • Sony should have bezeless phones as new trends

  • Try coming in 30 frames per second, you don't really notice the difference in quality,but you should be able to record for a long time without the device over heating. Worked on my z5 premium.

  • Device is awesome. Photos really good. But I can only record 4k videos up to 2min. After that camera app shutdown to cool the phone. Full HD 60fps is up to 6min. But HD video doesn't make any problem. Is this normal?

  • It never shut down, but camera app automatically shutdown once it reach heat limit.

  • The 4k can.be really felt if you know how to utilize it. And thus so far never had problems with overheating or batterry problems by charging it properly. Never till 0% and never till 100+% plugged in and it still holds as fresh and rarely notice the 15% stamina mode using auto brightness and image optimization

  • I bought it fresh when it launched for 650eur and was dissapointed that youtube didnt support 4k bet phone itself is freaking awesome expecially for the time its made.sad par is after warranty ends everything broke. Micro usb charging loosened out and aux not detecting headphones ( can be tricked with soundabout app) and mic is shit. Just thrash. Good news is to fix all that including both screen and back chrome thats scratched is only 100eur in local mastershop including work so before grabbing a new one ill fix this and stick to it for 2years or more before something worthy comes out for the price i would like to get

  • Same exact phone as the Z3 plus but with more pixels and slightly bigger display.

  • flash it with a custom rom xD

  • got my chrome Z5P in May - love it, still awed by the look and feel, almost like holding a piece of art. yes, it does get a bit warm shooting video or heavy gaming - racing games and RPGs can keep it fairly warm - but it's never got hot enough to shut-down or reboot, say nothing of being hot enough to burn a hand. ... definitely a phone I would give high marks to - at least in my experience d(-_-)b

  • Can I check or test waterproof of my z5 premium after repaired from Sony Range,,,,

  • It is a gimmick, it's just more useful in watching content like YouTube because of its 4K display

  • I want to buy this phone. But im afraid 810 will burning my hand. Its overheat compare with original z5?

  • Sort of gimmick I think

  • PK - Better buy Q Phone

  • Anyone had problems with the Wi-Fi, I had mine last year and it just keeps on disappearing and eventually it can't be detected. I have to do a factory reset but even though the wifi is finally detected it disappears again after a couple of hours. What else can I do to rectify this problem?

  • the z5 premium is not worth the money and has become absolutely obsolete due to its poor architecture. The processor has a faulty architecture and you will be only using 6 cores even during running the most demanding games due to the phone shutting them down to reduce its heating. it does not detect otg compatible devices,the headphone jack sensor is faulty and it has the worst battery optimization. I suggest you avoid getting this phone as there is a high probability that you will regret your decision.And the 4k display is a gimmick as you wont notice it anyway

  • The same thing happened to me

  • This or iPhone 6s?

  • Switching from s7 edge(Exynos) God This phone so smooth The only downside is battery Not as durable as s7

  • Turn on the setting in app

  • The 4K display is not used to it's advantage unfortunately... :(

  • Personally Using this mobile, 100% OTG will works.

  • guys the headphone jack issue is because of its headphone. I used to use my own headphone for two years and it was ok. then it broke and I switched to the one sony provided with the phone (MH750), after a week or two, it messed up with the headphone jack and it doesn't detect headphone connection anymore. now I have to use a third party app to manually output the sound through the headphone jack and if I send it for repair, i'm afraid that I gonna loose waterproof thing. please be aware that the headphone you are using go in and out smoothly. the one sony provided and some other headphones go in hard and this gonna force the pins and push them out so the detection pin will break.

  • Thank you for the warning.... And beware of the fake products....

  • There is one option in the status bar which is called "Detect USB device". Try turning on that, OTG will probably work

  • pull down the status bar, you will find a pen like icon near before settings, enable the detect usb icon... next time you plug in the OTG you must enable form the task bar detect USB...

  • I bought a new Xperia z5 dual, However the OTG failed to work. It can not read any external device if connected. What can I do?

  • Looking at how much high-end flagships have advanced, there isn't a need to root it, come on. ANDROID OREO is perfect already, plus it is running on a high-end flagship, why root it when u can use the apps at ease? Yes I know rooting helps in increasing performance with custom softwares, and also helps in removing bloatware, but rooting wouldn't help much on a high-end flagship, instead harming it more because of the price u are buying it if u are concerned with that. I would recommend u to get a low-end or mid-end smartphone if u are into rooting the smartphone, u will see a bigger performance improvement

  • felt like unfinished flagship by sony! and treated as stepson! :( Sony later put all its mind on XZP which is basically successor to z5p CONS in z5p 1. plastic Lens, will scratch over time 2. Display not Vibrant as X series 3. Stopped at 7.1.1 4. no usb -c given 5. heats up ALOT 6. poor finger sensor! PROs in z5p 1. easily rootable and DRMKEY EXtraction TOOL works (see xda) 2. supports Kcal when flashed thru recovery 3. Double tap to wake feature PRO in XZP 1. first flaghsip with 4gb ram! 2. corning glass camera lenses 3. vibrant powerful screen 4. amazing finger sensor CONS in XZP 1. hangs on oreo 8 (or atleast not faster as it was on 7.1.1 2. on Dt2w (double tap to wake) 3. drm keys can never be saved! and 4. difficult process to obtain ROOT (see xda)

  • Have this phone since 2016. + Still have enough computing power + Was updated to Android 7 +-: Found no sense in 4K display - Had to replace audio jack two times - Bluetooth audio implementation is unstable

  • It is worth it, but can also get a newer one, like the XPERIA XZ. It is still receiving updates if u are into that, giving u a little information, comparing it to my XPERIA Z3+, XPERIA Z5 and XPERIA Z5 PREMIUM which have the notorious SNAPDRAGON 810 that heats up quite fast, XPERIA XZ doesn't heat up as fast as them. Besides, since the SNAPDRAGON 820 doesn't heat up that fast plus it is built in a 14nm process, it have better battery life even with a smaller battery than the XPERIA Z5 PREMIUM. But if u are interested in this smartphone because of the 4K display, go for it, and u will have to watch out for the heat, or u can wait for the price for XPERIA XZ PREMIUM to drop, if u are interested in how the XPERIA XZ PREMIUM performs, for me I don't have any heat issues when playing 4K videos for long periods of time, same goes to the camera, u might as well go for that if u are eyeing on the 4K display

  • Hi Mike, This phone is great to use. Pros 2.0GHz Octa Core Processor Qualcomm Fast Charging 2.0 Back Camera Quality is excellent Waterproof Cons Front Camera quality isn't that great Still stuck with 7.1.1 update (won't recieve anymore updates because the phone is old now doesn't really matter because I upgrade next year) Phone came out 2015 and it still uses micro USB Battery can only last a few hours

  • If you buy it brand new w/ warranty, yes w/c is rare nowadays for a 2015 phone. 2nd hand? No....

  • Should I get this phone, is it worth it?

  • Hi, Raymond I sent my phone to sony. First time they didn't fix the headphone port the phone was still the same condition as i sent it. (They slighty scuffed it but it isn't really noticeable) I sent my phone again the second time and the phone was actually repaired this time.

  • They already mentioned that the XPERIA Z3 and XPERIA Z5 lineup won't be getting ANDROID OREO, and it has already been confirmed. But still my XPERIA Z3+, XPERIA Z5 and XPERIA Z5 PREMIUM are still performing well even though they are on ANDROID 7.1.1

  • That happens on my phone since I had it so I assume it's natural

  • Hi Raymond, My headphone port has failed recently on my Sony Xperia Z5 Premium. I contacted sony customer services and I told them what the problem was. My Phone was covered by sony warranty so I didn't had to pay for any charges. You should consider checking if you have warranty on your phone if you have you should be able to book the repair. (free of charge)

  • Once again the z5 premiums wifi connectivity has failed. I have never had a phone with so many problems. What a dissapointment!!!

  • Not getting Oreo for some reason, despite being released late 2015. Even Samsung S6 is getting the update, which has lower specs and nearly 1 year older...

  • you bought a replica or stupid enough to go to setting and set the cam on 21 ,, its set in 8mp in default you have to change it, and also you are a sagol.

  • Your probably bought at a sidevendor or too blind to check first before purchasing the chinese knock-off fake. Go rant somewhere else.

  • Z5 premium on Bangladesh is not what they advertised, it doesn't have 4k display and camera quality is just 8 megapixel. I used z3 for 2 years , that was the best phone in the world but z5 premium is just fake. I don't know about other parts of the world but all z5 premium in my country are fake. Please test your phone with apps like antutu benchmark

  • S7 edge I got after z5premium and it's far superior...

  • 4 times in 6 months for me cancelled contract after that...

  • Any heat problem I want purchase pls answer this phone good or bad

  • Ear jack of this phone suffers from serious quality issue. Less than 2 years, ear jack out of order 3 times. Can't wait to go back to Samsung phone.

  • i just wanna ask about the android version.how to update it to nougat 7.1?

  • Depends on what type of smartphone u want. If u want performance, GALAXY S7 EDGE is the way to go, because it is the most powerful of the 3 when comes to performance. If u want the best display then the XPERIA Z5 PREMIUM is definitely for u with a 4K IPS LCD display, if u are willing to sacrifice some horsepower with some increase in heat. Overall I would say the GALAXY S7 EDGE is best, currently, if u are concerned about the software updates, because it is the newest of the 3, so software updates will still go to the GALAXY S7 EDGE. Do note that the GALAXY S7 EDGE will be getting ANDROID OREO a few months later

  • Depends on what you want. If you are after strong battery life, Z5 is the definite choice. If you want a good screen, probably S7 edge or Note 5. The Z5's screen is a high resolution one, just the LCD isn't the best quality. Camera is either the Z5 or S7 edge, my personal choice would be the S7 edge although the megapixel count is lower, the colours pop out more and look overall better. For looks, it's either the S7 or Z5. The Note series never really popped out to me much unless you count the Note 8. Hope this helped.

  • I love thia phone, but it gets too hot easy and fast! You can't even see a video on YouTube that passes 3min. A really shame for a what they call "premium" phone. Same problem if you will try to record a 3min video...

  • It is the album application, use Google photos application.

  • S7 edge or note 5 or z5 premium?

  • there's normal 4K and 4K HDR contents. Z5P only supports normal 4K, unlike XZP.

  • I'm using Xperia Z5 Premium. When i open the Album & click an image to view it, it take some time (3-4 seconds) to brighten and sharpen the images. Is this normal??? Or image should be bright and shape when we just View the image?? Could someone reply soon

  • I have bought this phone but unable to play 4k videos. Is there any specefic player which required to play 4k? It freezes video and only sound play. Please help how to fix this issue Do I need to root? Or only any specific resolution works

  • 5 star phone

  • Bought mine last december 2016, it's good but the audio jack after 10months was not responsive at times maybe bug or hardware problem, my issue now with this phone is that it wont charge! its hard to go to service centers these days, hard to travel here in KSA.

  • :)

  • is this mobile have 7.1 update in pakistan

  • Arguably the best smartphone ever, full stop. I bought this last February after it had been 15 months on the market. Now I am still impressed with its quality (sound, camera, features) and smoothness of operations.. :-)

  • Will updating the OS to 7.0 fix the issue of device getting warm/hot easily?

  • lol ikr

  • This was the first phone in 5 years that I kept for 2 years. S2, S3, S4, note 4, & then Z5 premium. A revelation. Fastest gaming platform ever used (tried several), brilliant display, stereo speakers, audio quality of a high end hifi component, UI versatile, stutter free and buttery. Last year there was still nothing better on the market so I used my 12 month contract to get the wife a crummy iphone. Not sure what to do this year. Maybe a note 8, except screen resolution no better than note 4, maybe xz premium except so similar to z5 premium. Could be sticking with z5 premium for year 3....

  • So has mine, the repair centre takes a week to put it in order. I had to buy a Bluetooth headset , I have been a die hard fan of Sony Xperia, this is my 4th Xperia. The z5 premium gets abnormally hot too.

  • Maybe you should learn how to use a phone properly

  • Quote "The best phone ever". Unquote You must be kidding me. This phone is giving me a headache, inferior phone that is laggy.

  • The audio port has stopped working in 1year. Not good quality.

  • This phone headek guys bcos anytime creates new problm this phone.i suffering so hard

  • Will come with the Z5 premium Android 8 tanks

  • Well it sounds like you have shitty internet or there is something wrong with your phone, send it back.

  • And size

  • Hello guys please I have urgent question,,do you see such waves in camera while light is low?yes it doesn't appear on pics after capture but they told me its Sony sensor collect the light when it's low,,is that real?please answer me

  • At my phone Z5 premium on Mobile data even when is locked is take me 10%/hour. WTF

  • Mine is still working fine for ANDROID 7.1.1 compared to the first version it came out, just a slight difference is it drains a bit more

  • The Sony Xperia Z5 Premium was an okay phone however after the Android 7 update (from personal experience); it is plagued with lots of different issues. The phone will quickly drain battery regardless on whether it is being used or idle. The touch-screen is awful because after 10 minutes of playing a game, it will only respond to single touches and this experience is continuously repeating itself much to my annoyance. The touch-screen does not respond to rapid tapping so it is detrimental to certain applications; an example would be something like Rhythm games or Action games. The phone will quickly get hot regardless of what you're doing; whether it is watching videos on YouTube or sending a text message to a friend. In my opinion, the only pro it has going for it is that it has a nice screen.

  • Best phone ever. New version of the same lineup (http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_xz_premium-­8593.php) is noticeably worth then the current one: a) battery is not as strong b) has more RAM (with lower batter capacity that is a disadvantage) c) doesn't have dedicated micro sd slot d) has more cores (with lower batter capacity that is a disadvantage). So in short, new version will have shorter lifespan, and potentially not as good performance as current one *(depending on what you do). Current phone: Still receives updates; still has strong hardware to back it up on; solid; good choice. Newer phone = rubbish.

  • This is still a good smartphone. Still receiving updates even now, but not sure if it can be upgraded to ANDROID OREO. Maybe u can wait a little longer so u can have second thoughts about it?

  • Is this still considered a good phone today? Still has software updates? Or is this going to be extinct soon? Considering buying one but not sure

  • Yes!

  • The reason why is because the smartphone now gets used to how often u use it, hence it will decrease. If u use the smartphone lesser, it will increase to 2 days long. For your information the battery life is actually a estimation only, it doesn't mean u will only get that kind of battery life, it is how long u can last before your next charge

  • When i bought battery long about 2 days and on standby was wrote 48 hours . On stamina 64 hours and on ultra stsmina mode 2 weeks. Now after 1 year on 100% writes 10 hour not 2 days anymore. On stamina 12 hours ans on ultra stamina mode just 1 day 4 hour. When using phone battery goes on 4g 33% hour. Adter 3 hour battery is 0 % wtf

  • Does the mhl feature still work when running nougat.

  • The only reason why is u downloaded too many apps in this smartphone, making the RAM using much more as before, will slow down the smartphone

  • This phone seems to suffer from lack of CPU power. When starting up the apps Pokemon Go, this phone starts slower then Samsung Note 3. When throwing pokeballs, sometimes to ball is like travelling in slow motion and drop short of the target pokemon. Will think 3 times before purchasing a Sony phone in future.

  • Then I guess that is hardware issues

  • I got only 35% RAM usage at 1.79Gb free memory..so i believe it's not the RAM issue..if it's on the hardware issue, then it could mean a dent on Z5 premium's reputation coz i had used 2 units and both had the same issue...take note, i prev owned a Z2 and now also using Z3 and both are running smoothly.

  • U mean XPERIA Z5 & XPERIA Z5 PREMIUM? There is no major difference in specifications only the display & battery are bumped up for XPERIA Z5 PREMIUM. FHD to 4K, 2900mah to 3430mah.

  • I've been reading a lot of bad reviews, but I've been using mine for the past few months and It's been a wonder, I bought it in 2017 and It's been a lovely experiences, It's fast, yeah...It does overheat a little but much less than my previos phone(Iphone 5s) and I love that altough It's quite big, it doesn't feel like a big phone

  • Hello. Is z5 premium and z5+ different?

  • Why u need to wait until 2 years before changed to Samsung?? If ur Z5 Premium already give u problem since the first month of using, why not just get rid of it?? Be honest to urself rather talk bs'

  • Been using the Z5 Premium for close to two years now. All I can say is..I can't wait to sell this phone off and go back to using a Samsung. During the first year of usage (when the warranty is still valid), I have send the phone back to the shop for repairs 4 times. And it wasn't even fully fixed after that. And now, the phone is flickering due to it's ROBUST water resistant properties. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best, I would rate this model a -3.

  • Hey I live in Singapore too. U said your XPERIA Z5 PREMIUM stops for a few seconds when doing things. Maybe u can download some CPU-Z app? I used DevCheck to check the RAM, the reason could be because of the RAM, if it is lower than 500MB or so then it is because of that then the smartphone will stop. If the RAM have somewhat 800+MB free then I guess it would be some hardware problems

  • Hope that an update with help solve issues with this phone. Screen up and down real fast- touch response issue, heat, Freezing, Pauses, operating issue at times can not turn Z5 premium off.

  • Im really impressed with the specs of this phone.But i am now using my 2nd unit after the 1st one got water damaged and I encountered the same issue with both units: ALWAYS LAGGING on internet connection both WiFi or Data (im on SG and internet is definitely not an issue)...when i surf or play a video on internet HD or not it always stops for around 5-10secs every 20-30secs of playing/surfing. Does anyone here know why and what is the solution?..i'm always a big fan of Sony but this one really pissed me. My Z2 before has no issue like this.

  • Worst experience ever with mobile phone, it was always heating up specially during taking videos. And for now the happy ending the mobile is not working anymore because it fall in water!!! The price for fixing it is around 400 USD which is similar to the new one price!!!

  • I suggest you to buy xa1 ultra, it's newer, and doesn't suffer heating,

  • I am thinking on getting either Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra G3226 4GB RAM / 64GB ROM or Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Dual E6883 5.5" 23MP 32GB, wich one do you think is the best option for me? I play a lot of games and all of a sudden I change to FB, Whatsapp, other game, camera, etc. Basically I need a really fast and reliable phone.

  • No. This phone performs good even though it overheats because ANDROID 7.0 fixed the overheat so there is lesser throttling

  • ERRRRRM don;t be silly! 7.1.1 is not out yet for z5 premium even bloody 7.1 is not officially out and is experimental. YOU cannot complain if you stupidly flash your phone to something that sony is not even supporting yet. Blame yourself and not the sony z5 premium!

  • Samsung j7 is a midranger phone compare to z5 premium which is a flagship. Just like comparing toyota and volvo. Lol

  • After up date 7.1.1 so many problems are created apps not installed properly after installing write to next and volume kee not working perfectly.

  • OnePlus 5.

  • I am about to get this phone... any suggestions before i pick S7 Edge.

  • This is because ANDROID 7.0 is much smoother than ANDROID 6.0.1, thats why there is no overheating

  • Wait for new update since last 5 month finally i sold my fone of 15k and puchase j7 prime

  • Using this fon for 3month. Before upgrede to android 6.0 get small issue like heat when playing games. After upgresde abdroid 7.0 my fon more better. Like it soooo much. The brightness from low to high every time open the fon its awsome. Not brihgt like before. Slowly bright make my eye comfortable. Like this upgrade

  • After the latest update (Android 7.1.1) my phone`s volume key, don`t active!

  • i did on my x compact both used as controller and screen for my ps4 so i can use without tv, both did great but i prefer playing by dual shock controler

  • After the latest update (Android 7.1.1) my phone`s volume key, don`t active!

  • Am planning to get this phone to replace my ps4 controller. Anyone who has used it for this task.......and also for MHL

  • I buy it in saudi Arabia Great phone Only issue (heating than phone work slow specialy camera) Any solution

  • My Z5 premium screen easy to get warm ,,using only about 10-15 mins ,, then the warm made my screen unresponsive and scrolling up n down unwillingly

  • Are u using Android 7.0? Because I heard it doesn't overheat compared to Android 6.0.1 :)

  • I've been using this phone for a year now. My phone doesn't get hot at all! It only gets slightly warm when I play games. It really is a great phone but for like many others my audio jack also stopped working suddenly. I can still listen my music with headphones but now I've to use third party app to do so. Anyway after a year of using it the phone still feels smooth, no lags at all. Battery life is great. I get 6 to 7 hours of screen on time.

  • Z5 premium is superb..in its functions..but I faced problems with its battery life. And it's headset jack..I have been replaced my phone for 3 times.. Now iam using 4th phone..

  • model # E6853 or you can press the technology field where expand located.

  • Does your phone have earphones and what is the model number?

  • The phone is great but it gets hot fast, the battery drains quit fast although it wasn't when i first bought it, the headphone jack stopped working once and i had to return it to the supplier to fix it.

  • Guys any issues about this phone? I need it before i buy this phone and any suggestions of buying something else?

  • Yes bro it gets hotter than xa1 ultra,xz and xz premium, nowadays here we have 27 degrees so my z5 premium gets hot in less than 3 minutes and it continues, it's like a stove in my hand all the time, in winter it was much better, hopefully performance doesn't decreas sharply unless it becomes too hot,if you watch movies phone becomes a heater after 5 minutes and brightness reduce alot to control heat, i watch lots of movies so i give my phone break time every 10 minutes

  • Bro does sony xperia z5 premium gets much hotter??

  • headphone jack quit working along with power button. terrible phone, great resolution

  • It depends on the phone dude. Look at the phone specs. More powerful phone, more Android O features you will get. Lower phone specs will reduced the features on Android O you will get.

  • Switched from iPhone 5S to this phone. There are some pros about it but my opinion is mostly negative. Pros: - Great Screen, - Feels premium, - Decent performance. Cons: - Headphone jack doesn't work, it's a chronic issue, - Speakers are very quiet even at max setting, - Back is fingerprint mark nightmare. This phone is a good effort but when I cannot use the headphone jack without 3rd party software or the speakers are not loud enough to watch Netflix, this phone is a failure. 4/10

  • He suggest u to buy Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime because he thinks its a good phone. This shows that he doesn't care too much on performance, thats why he is satisfied by the phone. I suggest u to get Xperia Z5 Premium because it is really a good phone. Better performance (definitely) than Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime. And plus u like this phone, so go for it. People get phones by their own opinions like u like this phone, we decide what phone we want to get people give opinions just for u to decide

  • You should compare their specs and its your decision which one will u pick.

  • Hi guys...i need serious help.... i really love this phone but someone suggests me to buy Samsung j7 prime and he says '' its a great phone'' ... what do i do now? Plz i need a quick help...

  • I think there is 95% chance that z5 premium won't receive android 8. It doesn't matter android 8 support 512 mb RAM, the companies decided which phones they want to upgrade, (some people think naive like this that now android 8 support that amount of ram so all this kind of phones will be upgraded). Buy xz or xz premium if you want updates, X1 ultra has a really magnificent screen it amazes every one,but upper and mid Ranger phones wont get many updates

  • I think z5 premium won't get android 8

  • One of my friend got z3+. It get hot and auto shutdown camera app. It ridiculous I haven't seen such a thing from other brand flagship.

  • Google promises that Android O will comes to every devices even new or old devices, low-end to high-end, you will get Android O update. Even if you have a devices with 512MB RAM, u still get an Android O.

  • I would think that Z5 would be the choice. Midrangers like XA1 Ultra may not be updated to Android 8 because of the chip. Z5 would probably be updated to it. Look, a Google Neuxs device with the same chip as Z5 (Snapdragon 810) and got Android Beta Program still can run Android 8

  • Can you afford xz or xz premium dude??? As you know xa1 ultra is mid Ranger and I'm sure it will get just one major update

  • Shall i go for xa1 ultra as i think that z5 won't get any future updates like android 8?!

  • US version has fingerprint on right side but it is disabled due to some problems, if flash another region County like Europe version the fingerprint works fine,

  • I heard from JerryRigEverything about Sony Xperia Z5 premium it has 2 version just like Samsung on their Galaxy S7 and S8, US & Global version, I dont know code version for these 2 version, but What I want to tell you about, There is No Fingerprint scanner on side right on the Power/Lock screen button for US version... suprisingly enough. Global version has all content on this specifications, but the problem is on US version. that's all I wanted to tell

  • I currently own this phone and although i could spend all day boasting about it quite frankly i wont. This phone still has the same issue as the previous Xperia Z range, the phone bends. My phone was less than 3 months old when i noticed the phone looked a little mis-shapen, so i decided to log a call with Sony and as the phone was expensive enough as it is i never purchased insurance, only to be told that unless i wanted to pay £300+ to get it fixed then there was nothing they could do... and even then there was no guarantee that they could fix it. I kept being passed on from manager to manager as my argument was it should be covered in the warranty only to be told that the warranty only covers manufacturing defects to which my response was surely it is, if i cannot even stick the phone ion my pocket without it bending, but no matter how hard i tried pressing my argument i was never going to get anywhere and their support team was useless, and in the end i ended up getting frustrated with their lack of help or support I just cut them off. Overall it is a very strong and stable phone with very great performance just make sure if you're planning to buy it buy a strong case to prevent it from bending, and dont stick it in your jeans pocket. Overall: 8/10 (looses two marks for the build quality and the fact it bent)

  • If u are the kind of person who like to watch videos get this because of the stunning 4k display. I would recommend u to get this phone or if u want more performance too then u should wait for XZ Premium

  • is it advisable to buy this phone?

  • cool down bro

  • When u don't even know that there is another saying of it and u spoke out urself. Good job. Seen a lot of these people

  • Lol dude it can be called processor or chipset. Go Google and type Snapdragon 810, the first result will show Snapdragon 810 Mobile Processor. Lol ur wrong

  • Dude Snapdragon 810 is not processor its a chipset

  • Greatest phone eveeeeeeeer... i love it so much.

  • But why would you want it, though? Edge-to-edge displays such as the Galaxy S8(+) have been proven TERRIBLE for the device's durability. Knock it on the side of a Starbucks tabled and you'll end up with spiderwebs on the display!

  • But i can support 2 day battery life right?

  • Come on, dude. Snapdragon 810 is a bad processor. The chip throttles a lot and hence causes battery life to be shorter than usual.

  • does anyone one knows when Sony will launch full screen models like s9 or s8?

  • Here comes the mobile preacher,lol But good to know that you are having a good mobile experience. But does anyone one knows when Sony launching its new full screen models

  • Even if you have one third of all these problems you have mentioned you should definitely blame yourself and certainly you need to learn how to handle a mobile safely, otherwise don't buy mobiles not until you're educated enough in this realm

  • Perhaps you should buy my phone.only then you will have your answer

  • How many lies did you write? Can you count them pleassssss

  • This comes from Sony fanboy Display went blank 1St month!connector was loose.screen broke,repaired, back panel broke,repaired,touch broke,repaired,screen broke for the 3Rd time inspite being in a case,repaired,the new display touch doesn't works,about 15% of the touch is dead,nom responsive.i am dealing and managing with it,heats up too easy.......planin xz premium now

  • Lol you should definitely go through a course to learn how you should handle your phone properly, this phone is absolutely fantastic and should be recommended for all those who are after quality

  • Neither z3 nor z5 have never had this problem you mentioned here this is the first time i read such rumors, buy z5p or another x series smartphone and don't worry even a little

  • Try to download android 6 Rom and flash it with flashtool app on pc.

  • One of the worst phones I've ever had. In the first year of having the phone I've had 3 repairs and even had to get a replacement handset sent out by my network carrier. Headphone jack breaks multiple times in a year (on both the original Z5 Premium I had and the replacement). The phone claims to be waterproof but it has broken today being in my pocket while walking home in the rain. Would not recommend this phone at all.

  • Does this phone run hot and close apps like the Z3?

  • I bought it from KSA. It was awsome. But when i updated to nougat via air. Some sever problem is arising. When phone comes during using any apps next time ring volume doesnt work during any call or sms. It solves when i restarts. Everyday i have to restart 2-3 times. I master reseted the phone but the problem was unsolved.

  • Z5 premium is a stunning phone, i and 2 of my friends have this monster, it has no issue instead it becomes hot soon, so no body care for your lies

  • Worst phone I've ever had! From day one I've had trouble with this phone. Constantly drops calls, has poor reception everywhere I go, trouble sending videos, trouble recieving pictures and videos from different devices, annoying auto-fill texting, etc. The only good thing I can say about this device is that it has a good camera. Unfortunately for me I'm one of those people who like to use their phone as a phone. Experia Z5 premium is just an over priced digital camera.

  • I thought the battery is 3430 why it can only support 66 hours of endurance rating..

  • back up all your contacts and media or what so ever, then do a factory reset/Hard reset

  • how is this possible when S7 use sony camera? stop talking nonsense

  • XZ Premium!

  • What is the best Z5 premium, S7 edge or X performance...

  • Wow 2 yrs before it showed problems? Compare that to a Samsung phone just months of usage will lag or hang up... Try backing up pictures or important files on your phone like copying them over a pc/cloud then do a full wipe/reset also reformat sd card aswell... Or check for OTA update first before doing what I suggested.

  • My Z5 premium started to have lagging issue lately after 2 years of using it. How can I check and resolve this problem? I found the lagging issue when I wanted to delete the pictures in the Album and the action took me 3-5 seconds each time :-(. Can anyone guide me on how to resolve it? Should I send it to service center to check on it? Thanks to advice

  • Sony xperia z5 premium 6.0.1 amazing 7.0 naugat waste

  • When is 4k, not 4k?.......When it's made by Sony!

  • Best is Z1😉

  • I didn't have any single problems with this device. All you have written in this site are lies (camera becomes dull battery draining etc.) this phone has never given me a single problem (lag, batterydraining, images/pictures/camera becomes dull) It depends on how you use your phone...

  • Is it true that Z5P camera can be dull because of large megapixel?

  • Worst device. Not worth for money. Purchased one year ago..replaced for 3 times for various issues...audio jack prob, excess heating for no reason,Phone gone switch off and unabe to start. Now warantee is over.. Replaced on last day of warantee.. Still havin problem with device...overheating for no reason, battry draining for no reason.taking more time in charging.

  • Z5 Premium

  • After the new update I received a few days ago my phone has been doing all kinds of weird things. I can't send pictures but I can receive them. The screen display time always changes back to 15 seconds but it's random.

  • Which is better Xperia Z5 Premium or Xperia Z3?

  • Without a doubt, YES

  • Guys is Z5 Premium amazing device? Yes or No?

  • Sony Xperia Z5 Premium was working fine until the last update which came last week after which it didn't reboot. I did all the manual tricks as Sony customer service wanted but in vain. Even though its not my fault but they are saying I have to pay for its repair its not fair. So be careful before any updates.

  • Camera can be dull because of large megapixels. But other than that you will be more happy with Sony as it never lag as Samsung.

  • I have the phone , i thought sony was better than samsung at least in the camera the camera on s7 and s7 edge is so much better , the xperia z5 premuim camera is dull even if you tried other cam apps like manual camera or camera ics plus still the image is dull dark image and if increased the brightness you lose details , the phone is heavy in hand shape is not as nice as samsung , the screen display is by default more blue you need to adjust the white balance to make it good. Sony didn't give an update to adjust the camera and the camera app doesn't have the same controls as the camera on xz premium i don't know why they can't upgrade the camera app to give more controls like the app of the xz premium

  • i used to under water to snap photo and video and it was excellent,problem is after few minutes the LCD display blinking until become dark i even set to 100% the brightness but still dark.what would possibly happen to my Z5 premium?

  • No it doesn't, which sucks!

  • Baterry very small for this resolution display, (800ppi 4k) waste of battery only. People can see different in 5.5" full hd or 4k or 16k?? 330ppi, 440, 560, 800 or 1150ppi??? Think no. That different we can see, notice computer display.. 22", 27" and bigger. 4k 27" display ppi low than 350, we cant notice different 4k and full hd in that size

  • Does z5 premium have white color? Reply please...

  • Best phone i've ever had. Sony is the best

  • This is an average phone, performancewise, because most of the time it's slow, but it's abit faster than the others I've had or own, but it can't even compete with an old pushbutton phone, so smartphone software sucks bigtime, unless the problem lies somewhere else?

  • Can you please check does anyone have stuttering on twitter while scrolling

  • I would recommend buying something else. Changed my first one after just a week as the camera lenses became blurry. On the second one, the earphones plug stopped working after about 6-7 months. Their customer service is really bad. I've sent the device to be repaired, and they haven't done anything. And many software problems as well. I'll never buy a Sony phone ever. I am preordering the Galaxy S8 tomorrow. Can't wait to get rid of Sony.

  • A nice gimmicky, ultra high definition display from Sony, which just goes to show that they knew it wasn't necessary, on a screen this small.

  • Everyone knows that Sony phones are the slowest on paper, but the fastest in real world usage, apart from the suckers that buy elsewhere! From it's old but still classic, rectangular framework, to it's supersonic speed at opening web pages and YouTube videos, this phone is the one to get, especially if an F.M. radio and a multitude of audio settings are up your street? so buy with confidence!

  • It's really a beast whis amazing screen, performance, speakers, and camcorder, just still camera needs a little work

  • If you have 4k content you can watch it on this brilliant 4k screen, it's not Sony's fault that os is not 4k, and honestly 4k is about media content who cares about icons

  • A sporty looking glass sandwich, topped off with Sony software, that is no better, (often alot slower) than my cheap Xperia E4g, so what are Sony playing at?

  • I saw this happening if you use a case on the phone. The flash reflects off the surfaces surrounding the lens. If you use a cover, try removing it and test?

  • You should change the back panel of the phone

  • This is the phone to get, if you don't like super amoled displays? because it consistently outperforms the mighty Galaxy S7, in day to day usage!!!!!!

  • Im having issue with the back camera, there is shade of thick yellow light in the photos whenever im using flash. Im using nougat now. I tried everything bit none of them fix the problem.

  • It appears that they've sorted out the heat issue, after many complaints, so purchase with confidence! but it might have a major battery drain issue, running Nougat, owing to a problem with Chrome? so you'd have to download another browser, that doesn't use Chrome, because The Z5 Premium's stock browser does!

  • I'm new user of z5 premium.About the heat isue would be at the center,slight upper.But,the phone is metal so it easy too get and easy to get cold try put your case on.Hey,z5 is 2015 models it run lollipop,this year 2017 run nougat try not to update update to ur phone, it will get slow..this is user experience.Buy xz premium instead if u can effort,anyway I'm enjoying it!

  • hi! im planning to buy xperia z5 premium but i need to know about heating issue because its is using snapdragon 810 which in general gets hot and another thing i would to know is battery life. can any one please help me in this regards. thanks in advance. takecare and gudbuy for now.

  • Ask a Photographer, or someone who works with Photoshop and/or Advertising, and they'd say the Colour Gamut of the Galaxy AMOLED panel is TERRIBLE for their craft. They want real colors, they want true colors, they want colors exactly as the human eyes can see it, and that is why Xperia's displays are better. I became sick of the super-saturated colours after four years of nothing but Samsung Galaxy. The Z5's more natural colours were a real breath of fresh air.

  • Come on Sony, let's see a software update, that gives us super amoled like colours on our displays, because the present ones look terrible!

  • Anyway I'm malaysian too..i using Z5premium in malaysia does not meant that it effect the quality of the phone.My phone running nougat so..report it to sony help service.

  • Sony have once again proven to The Critics, that the squared off edges, is the ultimate design for a mobile telephone! So many call it boring and ugly, when in actual fact it's a classic and masterful design! so hats off to Sony, and keep up the good work, over there in Japan!

  • A truly awesome design, from The Japanese electronic giants!

  • amazing!! wow

  • A premium phone, at a premium price, so you'll be better off buying the XZ Premium, which has a H.D.R. display!

  • Sony are once again crowned Kings of the mobile phone industry, after producing another sparkling masterpiece, in the form of an all glass affair, when they should have made it metal on the back, but fear not, because The Japanese know what they are doing, when it comes to making electronic equipment!

  • Sony have come a long way, since the Ericsson years, with little or no recognition, but If you want a mobile, that is snappy and attractive, then this is the one to get! Well done Sony, for unleashing this beast into the wild, and keep up the good work, because made in Japan, means it is the best!!!!!

  • I meant that it opens web pages and YouTube videos alot faster than The S7, S6, and S6 Edge, so Sony's software optimisation appears far superior?

  • It's a shame about the tacky glassware, but hopefully they'll start using gorilla glass, in conjunction with an amoled display, even if it's full H.D, or even 720?, because I can't tell any difference on The Galaxy S7, between 2k and 720, which is the resolution I usually run it on.

  • it's probably to reduce the weight but yes you are right it doesnt give the solid feel like iphones and samsung s7. what do you mean by good at web content btw?

  • Sony uses cheap glass, that looks and feels like plastic, for the display, which is unforgivable at this price point!

  • This would no doubt be the best phone ever made, if it had a display like The Galaxy S7's, but Sony phones shine, when it comes to opening web content, so you won't be disappointed in that department!

  • The display apologies, when it sees The Galaxy S7's, so don't buy this phone for it's screen, but if opening web content's your priority? then you should be a very happy camper, because Sony mobiles are notoriously fast in that area!

  • U can download the official room from Sony and use the flash tool to install 😃

  • You might have a fake?

  • This phone has a screen that feels like plastic, so I would hardly call it premium!!!!!

  • Just wanna ask. im malaysian, my z5 premium is malaysia set. but i still not receive any update to Nougat 7.0. is it becos of malaysia or asia set still unable to update to Nougat or any cause? *sorry for my bad english

  • I want to no if is possible to change 4rm android 7 to 6. because Android 7 ringing volume and music volume suck. Very low

  • Benchmark scores are meaningless!

  • My geekbench multicore score dropped from 4k to 2k after android 7 update. Why?

  • Yeah i had the same problem

  • You mean 4G/LTE at the same time, right? Yeah it'll definitelly fry up the phone, even in 3G it already gets hot so much more with 4G and soon even 5G.

  • Aesthetically their just the same, but Connecting on two networks at the same time drains battery faster than single sim. Either way you can just disable SIM2 if needed.

  • Now I have another problem , the camera button and the bottom speaker stopped working , beside the on/off button stopped working 2 weeks ago and I have had the phone only 2 months

  • Sony lose out to super amoled, in the display department, but edge out the competition, when it comes to opening web content!

  • The Snapdragon 810, is hardly cutting edge, when you compare it to the processors of today! but are they any better?

  • Hey guys i want to see if i buy sony z5 p dual or sony z5 p :D which is better?

  • I suggest getting The XZ Premium, which has an H.D.R. display! or The Galaxy S7 or S8?

  • Come on Sony, let's see this over the air software, for this so called 4k display!

  • Since updating to nougat 7.0 my sound has deteriorated when watching something or when phone is ringing! Ran diagnostic test and says phone is fine! I have seen on Sony site that alot of people are having same problem. Come on Sony get it sorted, I didnt pay good money for a premium phone with poor sound!!!!

  • Am I the only one who have stuttering on chrome? Its not fluid. Thats the only problem I have with this phone. Other than that, it's just perfect.

  • It's a typical Sony phone, at a typical Sony price!

  • Sony devices are not weak at all, it is the best no doubt, Sony smartphones are just underrated.

  • Why Sony phone is so weak ? Everyphone go for internal storage 64-128gb and main camera with OIS - HDR frontfacing more than 5 MP and Sonyphone remains 32 gb and back camera only HDR frontfacing camera still low MP ? No way to gain market !!!.

  • There's no ultra power saving mode on Nougat, so what are Sony playing at? Come on Sony, pull your finger out, because we expect alot better from you, because made in Japan, used to mean it was the best!

  • The display is 1080 or lower, most of the time, so Sony ripped us off bigtime!

  • It drains so quick becuase it has a 4k screen...

  • Please help. Chrome or Black?

  • i have xperia z5 permium in chorme color since 2 months and i am so happy to having this beauty, wonderful and great user experience, great, beautiful and sexy design and great camara. yet not a signal problem with it and of course great battery life better then my previous apple 6s plus and galaxy 6 edge.

  • I agree, this phone is a rip off!

  • after a month of use I had problem with the power button , does not work anymore , needs to be replaced and only the part costs $ 18 . the phone is too slippery and falls from your hand easly , the battery is not as they say it is , it drains very fast , need to have the battery saver on all the time

  • The Z5s and Samsung flagships, have poor WiFi connectivity!

  • I have a problem front music is not working well

  • In my xperia z5 premium. When Android 7.0 update, my front music is not working well.

  • Hello, Ali !!!! I'm very disappointed in you, because I thought you knew better, than to slag off a Sony phone? Oh well, I hope you enjoy your next super beast mobile, that is made in Hong Kong! let's hope it lasts more than a couple of days!

  • Buy an Apple, Samsung, or one of those cheap Chinese phones, then, if you think they are better?

  • Just buy it, because it's a beast!

  • Well done Sony, for creating this beast, which will go down in history, as The World's first none useable, almost 4k display!

  • You can't flood a waterproof mobile! what a beast!

  • Hello, Ali! What phone do you recommend, then?

  • Mark, you are flooding the page with your hilarious story about the 4k screen and the fast Web browsing, get rid of this smartphone please.

  • Hey everyone, here in gsmarena it says that the memory slot is up to 256 GB, but in Sony specs it says 200 GB, anyone knows if it trully supports 256? thanks

  • I highly recommend this beast, if opening web pages quickly is your priority?

  • Why Sony, why? What the hell were you thinking of, when you made this phone, that doesn't allow us to use it at a higher resolution than 1080, when viewing web content? Did you really think you could fool the general public into thinking they were buying a mobile phone, with a 4k display?

  • Default is 8MP, you can set it to 23mp (5520x4140)

  • 3820 x 2160 = 8251200 ~ 8MP

  • Nougat is android 7.0 actually, and the Z5P is getting it.

  • It's a screen we're not allowed to use, because the software doesn't support it!

  • They still won't give us the option of switching resolutions on Nougat, so how can anyone say this phone is futureproof and worth every penny, when it won't be getting Android 8? Come on Sony, admit it, you just did it for bragging rights! tut tut!!!!!

  • A screen that won't power on due to lack of battery looks the same regardless of how many pixels it features.

  • Please let me know the fastest browser you've ever used? and enjoy your Z5 Premium!

  • WiFi issue, running Nougat, because I'm losing a fair amount of battery life overnight, with WiFi search during sleep switched off!

  • Well done Sony, for releasing this superb software, because it's flying on Nougat, after a very sticky start!

  • I have my z5p fore 10mont. and it's great. Today I get 7.0 and for now everything is ok. I don't have eny problem jet.

  • Hey everyone, here in gsmarena it says that the memory slot is up to 256 GB, but in Sony specs it says 200 GB, anyone knows if it trully supports 256? thanks

  • Hi Mark understood your desire /right to use complete 4k resolution screen. of course it would be better. Even some online comment hopeful that it will even support QHD 1440p same as S7. May be in the future when android support 4k for apps and game or sony release newer 4k phone , sony will open up 4k resolution with software update. By the time may be battery already weak lollllllll but there is always charger and power bank on standby. Hi Dennis, agree with your first 3 comment but no.4 not at all. ""4) even if you are watching content in 4k, it would still be impossible to tell the difference between a fhd and the 4k screen at 5 inches, be realistic."" Your no.4 statement is a typical comment online that we can found , cannot notice difference between 4k and full hd by human eye. one simple question can you notice the difference between hd and full hd and difference full hd and qhd 1440p? Believe me it will be significant more beautiful when u see 4k movie in 5 inch 4k resolution phone . I will be lyign if saying 2 time or 3 time more better. But believe me it will be noticeable difference. lolllll

  • It was going down 25 percent per hour, but only recently, because before that, It was lasting twice as long!

  • 1) you won't be able to tell the difference on 5 inches. 2) it would drain your battery within 3 hours if it was rendering everything in 4k all the time. 3) you are zooming in web content even on a 1080p screen to read text. If you were viewing stuff without zoom it would be very difficult to read on a fhd screen. 4) even if you are watching content in 4k, it would still be impossible to tell the difference between a fhd and the 4k screen at 5 inches, be realistic.

  • Then you should have 2 hours of battery life and 6 months of battery lifespan, just relax, Sony does everything in the right way, never mind.

  • Why not? and we should be allowed to use all the 806 pixels per inch that we've paid for!

  • I've already got the Z5 Premium

  • Why do you want to view Web browsing pages with a 4k resolution???!!

  • Haha mark. why u need to view web in 4k? Tell me any other competitor that offer better resolution? huawei flagship only 1080,most other only 1080... only better is s7 and htc which offer in 2K which is 720 * 2 = 1440p . 1440 -1080 which is only 20 % higher. Imagine you can watch 4k video if you have, 4k video recording or youtube 4k video on a true 4k screen 3820 x 2160 (816 ppi screen). Also for photo even if u using 13 mp camera but on 1080 p screen your photo is downscale to 1920 x 1080 =2073600 ~ 2M photo quality but on z5 premium you can view better which is 3820 x 2160 = 4147200 ~ 4M quality photo. Sony is not .... on you because it is the first mobile company in this world to offer you 4k mobile phone on large scale. The only company to offer u opportunity to watch true 4k video , recording , movie without downscaling at this moment even after 2 year already launch. By the way now the price already go down alot. It is highly recommended to buy it. hehe lollllllll.

  • It runs at 1080 or lower, when viewing web content, the home screen, and nearly every app. imaginable, so it's just Japanese marketing hype! No wonder Sony don't sell many mobiles!

  • Sony phones open Web content faster than other manufacturer's mobiles, so it's not all bad news!

  • I am getting my z5 premium tomorrow....i wish i had seen your comments before! I would have purchased another phone

  • No almost 4k resolution support on Nougat, mentioned on The Internet, so Sony have ripped us off bigtime, yet again!!!!!

  • Mark o mark.....nooobbb hahahaha lol..... U.H.D is 4k. didnt u see samsung named its 4k tv as S.U.H.D? Lmaooo... Yes i do agree normal web browsing, ui , app game is only at 1080p. They only activate the when viewing 4k video content and picture. so both video n picture will be at 4k resolution, beautiful video and photo.. There is reason for it because android lollipop and marshmallow not support 4k for game and apps.... rumours says will support starting in nougot. The other reason is battery life 3420 mah will not be able to support 4k resolution , it is very battery consuming will reduce battery by half. 4k resolution screen will need to have at least 7000mah which is not quite possible for 5~6 inch phone. thats why samsung still not and will not release a 4k phone any time soon. lolll lmaooo nooob .

  • It's allover The Internet, that it's flying on Nougat, this phone is out of this world, you have to see it to believe it, and IPhones are the best! but Sony fanatics tell the truth!

  • If z5premium get nought 7 India version.

  • It was a beastly update!

  • New Manufactured Z5's comes with an updated/fixed SD 810 v2.1 that Sony don't advertise.

  • They are all beasts!

  • Well done Sony, for unleashing this beast into the wild!

  • Why Sony, why? Come on, pull your finger out, by giving us the option to switch resolutions, on whatever we are viewing? because as it stands, it's a half finished product! Even Samsung give us that option with Nougat, so there's no excuse!

  • It was a potential best seller, until Sony shot themselves in the foot, by not allowing us full access, to the U.H.D. display, which can't even view web content, any higher than a resolution of 1080.

  • The 810, is a fine processor!

  • Sony must optimise their phones better, because I've always found them to open web pages faster than other manufacturer's phones.

  • Mark, what smartphones do you have???

  • Come on Sony, pull your finger out, by making this 4k display useable, by allowing us to view web content, at it"s maximum resolution, instead of 1080, full H.D.

  • Come on Sony, pull your finger out, because we're all waiting for the Nougat software update! We understand it's full of bugs, but waiting this long is ridiculous! Made in Japan, is supposed to mean it's the best, so get your skates on!

  • They call Sony, for sticking to the same squared off design, but The Critics know nothing, because you can't improve on perfection!

  • Well done Sony, for suspending the Nougat software update, but how much longer is it going to take you, to iron out the bugs! one month, two, six or a year? Come on Sony, pull your finger out, because made in Japan, is supposed to mean the best!

  • You could be right? but The S7 looks like an L.C.D. when using basic mode, and they say it's the most accurate display ever, when this mode is activated!

  • Nope ips Display have More colour accuracy As Compare to Amoled display

  • The best phone ever!!!

  • Have Sony pulled the plug on Nougat for good?

  • This beast is the pinnacle of the z series, and a monumental accolade, to everything made in Japan! so hats off to Sony!

  • If you want the fastest phone? buy a Sony! and if you like paying top price, for an L.C.D. display, and last year's processor? buy a Sony! Do you see what I'm getting at?

  • I think The 810, is probably the best processor, since the overheating issue has been fixed!!

  • This thing is a beast!

  • It's very possibly still the best phone out there!

  • Yes, liquid crystal displays are inferior to super amoled!

  • You are correct when you say super amoled, is in a league of itÂ’s own!

  • The case is recommended everyday with any any smartphone.

  • It looks cool and professional, fast, decent battery, but the body doesn't feel as solid as the Z5 or XZ, like the Z5 the corner is a bit sharp and slippery in the hand. Keep it in a case or you'll break that back glass at it first drop.

  • Yes, super amoled, is in a league of itÂ’s own!

  • Buy Sony, if you want the fastest phone, in real world usage?

  • The Z5 Premium, still has the edge, over the galaxy s7, when it comes to opening web pages, so this is the phone to get, if performance is your number one objective?

  • Open your eyes, then you'll realise what a real display looks like, when you see the S7!!!!

  • I seriously doubt, you've even seen a z5 Premium, apart from on you tube!

  • No heating issues at all in my z5 premium It depends on screen size and battery and water proofing to choose between them

  • Go blindly for the X, I'm using it and it's simply superb.

  • You made a point, but in general, LCD is still better for sure.

  • I write whatever and whenever I want, if you don't like it it's your problem,

  • LCD is not better in some cases doesnt have a deep black and amoled can only turn on certain number of pixels so it helps battery life a lot lcd colors is more real and i think there is no better screen it depend on person need some prefer amoled so mind your own business

  • Dont worry, according to him/her there will be FHD 2 FHD 3

  • Actually, i own Xperia smartphone and have my sister's s7edge in my hand now, the colors of the s7edge screen are terrible, no wondering why LG and Sony the two of the best screen manufacturers didn't use amold instead of LCD until now, amold colors are eyes killers and has nothing from facts :|, sadly.

  • You are just saying theories, you have never compared them side by side, you should know Mr.noob a screen's quality depends alot on each companies tweaks and technologies implemented in it. I don't need to go to shops to compare them,we have the best phones of all brands I compare them every time I want, you don't have them that's why I suggest you compare them side by side

  • I think the x, the newest is always the preferable.

  • Nah, only the deep black XD, with that yellowish white, never, LG and Sony are ready at any time to use amold, but the amold doesn't show any better or even similar experience like IPS.

  • Ivwant to buy a new phone which one is better z5 premium or xperia x.. I do play heavy games and take lots of pics.. Does z5 really gets warm..

  • Side by side, an Amoled screen trashes a old Sony LCD screen. Old technology vs latest technology and Amoled easily wins. Just go to any phone site and Amoled wins easily.

  • Both are great, if you have no financial problems get z5 premium and enjoy its ultra HD screen, for battery and camera they are almost the same,

  • Put them side by side, you can see Amoled has inferior quality, you can see a lot of bright colors that tend to be yellow, believe me that pure black didn't help amoleds to win against my Sony z5 premium. So which one is more important?

  • There is only UHD.....No such thing as UHD 1 or UHD 2.

  • which is better z5 or premium please i want to bye one but cant decide which one should i take hows the camara in both and does the premium holds up the reputation of its larger battery or z5s battery is better please say

  • If you see black not pure black in sony but in amoled screen pure black

  • Ten times oversaturated and non natural colours.

  • Stop trolling you lying troll!

  • No it absolutely has no battery problem, if you're heavy users it holds one day.

  • LG v20 is one year newer than z5 premium, so it's natural to have stronger processor, z5 had undoubtedly better screen and performance (LG sucks in performance and Screen) Camera both are great,and battery on z5p is better, believe me stay away from LG, get Sony without any further thinking

  • They lied to you, your problem is because of Android 7, do a factory reset, and wait for new update

  • after installing the nougat update the phone got a sudden heat very rapid and very hot and suddenly don't work I went to sony market they told me that the motherboard need to be changed which is so disappointing in such an expensive phone

  • It should be flying on Nougat, because it was alot faster than the Galaxy s7, when they were both running marshmallow! Oh my God! what a beast this mobile is! Well done Sony, you make the best phones out there, so three cheers to all the Japanese engineers, that created this masterpiece!

  • lg v20 or z5 premium.??? which one is best..plz help me

  • Dear users do you have any issue with its battery performance..how is it

  • I noticed that after adapted nougat the battery drains so fast, any body noticed that???

  • Lol, by your comment now you have completely proved how amateur you are, Ultra HD is another name for 4k,this is last time I answer your comments, nooooooob

  • Mine is fine!

  • This is a UHD 1 and the UHD 1 and UHD 2 are both 4k, GOT IT !?? anyway, what is your proof that this display doesn't work at full resolution always???

  • Already using Z5 premium now :D

  • But it's ten times less amazing, than The Galaxy S7's!!!!!!

  • It's just about pure white, if you turn the brightness up? so you must have a defective unit?

  • It never displays 4k, and only displays a higher resolution than 1080, on one or two Sony apps. and Netflix, so you can't surf The Web, etc. etc, at it"s maximum resolution, which is U.H.D, NOT 4K, so please do some research!

  • Agreed, i have never been interested with Samsung amold screens, its colors looks like liquid paint.

  • Thanks dear (^_^). Yeah amoled screens have no white, they are yellow, and if you watch pictures including white you can see how picture quality is inferior to Sony screens, Sony screens are outstanding.

  • Mark, are you trying to that the display of this smartphone doesn't function as a 4k resolution, why did you come out with this idea? Depending on what? Do you have a proof?

  • Yes yes and yes, you are 100% right, i was checking my sisters s7edge, indeed, the white is not pure, it is kind of yellowish.

  • Still remains the 4k UHD Native Screen phone. Even the now bigger 5.8 or 6.8" Shamsung S8 failed.

  • Truly tec nooooob number 1, if you think Sony decived you,just go and buy another brand, go by a Korean phone or a Chinese then you'll understand the meaning of rip off, My 4k z5p, can show more details against 2k summy phones and those details are quite visible to naked eyes.

  • I can swear you have never seen s7,just in your mind you've created an image of it that it's beyond amazing, but by my z5p I defeated s7 easily, s7 display has no white,a yellow display, green,blue,pink are much better in my phone, even my friends, s7,note 5, note 4 users admitted their defeat, but you amateur here advertise for s7, what a shame

  • The z ultra's display, might be as good as the Z5 range, but they can't compete, with the one on the Galaxy s7, so you might consider getting that phone?

  • There's apparently still no way, to activate the UHD display, for whatever we are viewing? even with the new software, so Sony are still ripping us off bigtime!

  • the display is amazing, comparing to my previous xperia Z & Z2

  • It's better than the s7, at opening web pages, but the display on the Z5 Premium, is inferior!!!!!

  • He's a half wit at best!!!!!

  • The Z5 Premium scores around 1800 on Linpack, compared to the s7's 675, and it's alot faster at opening web pages, so the Sony is the better choice!

  • It scores almost 3 times as much as the s7 on Linpack, so why is that?

  • But it's superior to the s7, at opening web pages!!!!

  • aaand you have to pay for them for the icrup, when in play store they are free..

  • Nougat updates are coming back, with more models than before!

  • Lol, who knows how you used your phone? Your comment proves nothing, first learn how to use your gadgets properly

  • This phone should be renamed to Sony Z5 Inferior. In less than a year, the ear jack malfunctioned 2 times. Just after 4 months of use, the ear jack malfunctioned and the contact-point for the charger became loose. Sent for repair and they soldered the joins instead of a new replacement. Five months down the road, the ear jack malfunctioned again. The Sony customer service in Singapore refused to replace it with a new set. Quality of this Sony phone is inferior, repair workmanship is not dependable and Singapore Sony customer service mentioned it's ok to post this review online. Would strongly advice to avoid purchasing a Sony phone.

  • Another thing is RK options was sony Z5 P. HP something iPhone and Pixel which one do you suggest ???? Definitely not Z5 P

  • Dear first of all he/she mentioned that cost doesn't matter so iphone or pixel does not differ Second RK mentioned that he/she does not use camera and don't listen to music so either way sony or iphone camera and lack of 3.5 port is not an issue Third 7plus screen is 1080p which was a standard till last year so I don't call it low resolution Fourth i didn't say other phones are slow i just said apple has a very good support on games and apps and some of them are exclusive

  • Dear first of all he/she mentioned that cost doesn't matter so iphone or pixel does not differ Second RK mentioned that he/she does not use camera and don't listen to music so either way sony or iphone camera and lack of 3.5 port is not an issue Third 7plus screen is 1080p which was a standard till last year so I don't call it low resolution Fourth i didn't say other phones are slow i just said apple has a very good support on games and apps and some of them are exclusive

  • Deer anonymous, sorry for interrupting you, but you are guiding him to the less worth, iphones were performance only in the past, but nowadays, there are no more slow and fast smartphones, so apple is losing their game dramatically, only their old loyal fans who are still their products, yet, in terms of display the are using Samsung display and with a low size and resolution, in terms of camera, the primary ones is sony and the selfy is Samsung, if you want to consider them a competitors then they are in the last class, i admit about their great graphics processing performance but everything else, colors, exposure, dynamic range....auto-focus just average or below.... And finally the worst thing are their prices....No sd card, no dual sim version....... Nooo

  • I also have to mention that you shouldn't mind spending money for apps because AppStore have no equivalent and good apps and games are not free ;D

  • It seems you haven't made your decision yet but if you ask me i think you must get 7 plus it's the sure bet for you if not i can't guide you any further good luck

  • I don't listen to music.....

  • Yes I noticed that too, it's looking heavy with stamina mood

  • Compare it's display against the s7, then you'll realise what a real one looks like!

  • If you're keen on playing games i suggest you to go for apple devices i use my mobile phone for streaming torrent but i play all of my games on ipad and apple invest a lot in games there are some games on appstore you cant find any where else. If you dont have problem with 3.5 port go for iphone 7 plus for sure its the best option for gaming another thing is ios developers dont drop support for games a good example is asphalt it was supported on ipad 2 till last month you cant find this kind of support on any other device and you didnt say anything about music ?????

  • But there is one problem when i activate stamina mode the phone responding is heavy not smooth like before on marshmallow

  • Already did love the update a lot

  • I installed it yesterday Z5 Premium dual. Best update! good battery life, great feel/user interface...go for it!

  • I don't know about that, but the Z5 Premium and compact, are worth buying!

  • Is there a better display on a mobile phone, at viewing web content than this?

  • Xz man the xz... GO GRAB IT!! Overall the iphones yesterday were known to their performance, but nowadays, there is no slow and smartphones especially which is within the iPhone prices, and yet iPhone specifications are very common, 12 mp camera, 4.7 inches on HD display, ios is a restricted software, 2000 ma battery only.... The worst thing that it is pricey, Apple is recording the highest price in the market.

  • I installed nougat yesterday, it's there

  • I never used a sony handset b4 and I'd like to use one soon which brings me to my question. I got a LG G4 and I'm planning on getting a phone other than LG and Samsung. Is the Sony xz worth it? Or Apple's iPhone7 is?

  • Use of mobile for me is calling, playing games, watching videos on youtube, whatsapp, social sites. I don't use camera.

  • You are welcome (^_^)

  • Thanks bro ^_^

  • The S7, hands down! displaywise, but The Premium, for surfing The Web!

  • Do you honestly believe, that the Z5 Premium, has a better display, than the Galaxy s7?

  • No Nougat here, but plenty of Marshmallows!

  • Why lie about a phone's resolution, when deep down you know the truth?

  • Am I the only one, that has bought this phone? because I thought nobody bought Sony handsets!

  • Has anybody else, compared this phone to The S7? if so, what are your thoughts?

  • What are your opinions about nougat update???

  • Can you stop please i know what are you sayin bcuz i studied photography but it is a expert matter you cant expect every one know it so stop it and dont be rude

  • The Z5 Premium, has a very good display, but the one on the s7 destroys it!!!!!

  • UHD-1, or ultra-high-definition television (UHDTV), is the 4K standard for television and computer monitors. UHD-1 is also called 2160p[6][7] since it has twice the horizontal and vertical resolution of 1080p.[6] It has a resolution of 3840 × 2160 (16:9, or approximately a 1.78:1 aspect ratio). UHD-1 is used in consumer television and other media, e.g. video games. Many manufacturers may advertise their products as UHD 4K, or simply 4K, when the term 4K is traditionally reserved for the cinematic, DCI resolution.[7][8][9] This often causes great confusion among consumers.[7][10]

  • I didnt say you are not correct i just told him dont answer so we prevent conflict omand please read this The DCI 4K resolution standard, which has a resolution of 4096 × 2160 pixels (256:135, approximately a 1.9:1 aspect ratio). This standard is widely respected by the film and video production industry.[5] The DCI 4K standard has twice the horizontal and vertical resolution of DCI 2K.

  • Dear can i ask a question what is your main usage of mobile phone if you answer this wmquestion we can guide you better

  • Please dont answer him does not worth it

  • wow today i got android new ver of Nougat thanks sony.. this is awesome.best speed :D

  • Watch GSMarena review and lessen well :

  • Thumbs up :), i wish i can do the same :(.

  • By all your comments you just want to proof your lack of knowledge and understanding, bravoo you have done a good job.

  • That is true indeed but consider that there are some limitations about iphone you cant share things with android or WP easily you have to use itunes for some operations another thing i dont like about iphone 7 is removal of 3.5 port it means throw away all of your headphones in garbage Pixel is a very good handset and security of android improved a lot in nougat. its really hard to choose between iphone 7 and pixel but i prefer android for one special reason because i can use torrent on my phone

  • If you want a fast phone? by the Z5 Premium, but if you want a 4k display? buy a television!!!!!

  • I don't have money issue. my concern is about android & windows is that they can be hacked easily. in android & windows phone virus is the major issue. whereas apple doesn't allow anyone to breach any kind of access to iphone & doesn't allow to get hacked or to put virus into iphone.

  • Sony ripped us off bigtime! because what good's a U.H.D. display, if we're not allowed to use it to it's full potential? They should have given us the choice of selecting whichever resolution we like, which would have also addressed any battery drain or performance issues, related to running such a high resolution!

  • There are no 4k phones on The Market, because The Z5 Premium, is ultra high definition, which is lower resolution! but Sony still ripped us off, because we can't use it to view Web content, and even The U.I. is only full H.D. or lower?

  • The World's first 4k phone, doesn't exist, because The Z5 Premium, uses a U.H.D. panel, which is lower resolution! Sharp, and maybe one or two others made prototypes, but they were never put on The Market, so anybody who says otherwise, needs to go and see a Psychiatrist!!!!!

  • I think you need to go and see a Psychiatrist, if you really believe it has a 4k display? because there's none on The Market!!!!!

  • Let's face it, anyone that thinks it has a 4k display, needs to go and see a Psychiatrist, because it's a ultra high definition panel, which is lower resolution!

  • Guys i got nougat update today, anyone installed it? And if there are any problems?

  • wow today i got android new ver of Nougat thanks sony.. this is awesome.best speed :D

  • Get your facts right, about the screen resolution, because it's actually UHD!

  • uhd, isn't 4k!!!

  • You mean the fast charge ???? Actually you cant disable it by some option if you want you can use a normal 5v to 1A charger thats the normal output for mobile phones fast chargers charge batteries by different out puts depended on different percentage if you check your charger for Z5 there are 3 numbers on it for out put but normal chargers have only 1A

  • I have no idea, you should know. I want to ask you about the charger, the output, how much mah??

  • So how can i disable the option?

  • Just don't use fast charging if not necessarily, it kills your battery faster.

  • Thanks for the update

  • I got this phone on Dec. 27th 2016 upgrading from Z2, till now the phone is amazing love its quality Battery : the same as Z2 even its larger in Z5P Screen : super amazing resolution Speakers : So clear but Z2 speakers are little bit louder Camera : Good Charging : fast charging is amazing it can be fully charged in less than 60 mins N.B: i didn't figure any heating issues (i don't play games on phones) only browsing, using apps and watching videos Now waiting to see whats new with the nougat update

  • Lol, what a noob, design is a matter of taste so everybody has his or her own taste

  • I don't have such a problem, try resetting your phone maybe it helps

  • People in the world know that z5p is 4k phone...why wouldn't U accept that fact

  • ugly design never gonna win htc

  • My Head phone jack wasn't working i installed SoundAbout and it started to work properly . However after the last update of Z5P Marshmellow headphones stopped working and are not even working with SoundAbout as well . What is the Solution ?? ...... Does anyone having a same problem

  • No man sony can't be a lier in people eyes .. there are many pros will know and tell people that sony throwing kies on them.. z5 isnt sold only for normal prople .. there are too much experiments being done on it

  • It's exactly 4k with 800ppi, you think microscope tells lies???, it is in the review, so don't try to be ridiculous by telling lies

  • It's Q.H.D, NOT 4K!!!!!

  • You're welcome dear, I think Samsung will use 2k again,if another 2k screen on Samsung flagship go for z5p, If you have any questions I can help you

  • Thank u very much pro.. much appreciated.. that what i ever wanted to know .. I am thinking to buy a 4k phone .. its either be a samsung phone (may be s8) taking in consideration no 4k samsung yet.. or z5 prrmium.. 8 have to wait untill s8 comes. Iam a samsung lover but if s8 hasn't 4k display i would go directly to sony .. again thank you

  • It's a very nice phone, but I'm only giving it 75 out of a hundred, because of it"s inconsistent, web browsing performance, but that's probably down to the software? The build quality is excellent, and it's a looker, so buy with confidence! The 4k display, which is actually abit under, is a rip off to say the least, because there's no way to activate it, so it's virtually useless, unless you're viewing exceptionally limited content, such as one or two Sony apps? so you can forget about viewing web content, etc. etc, at any higher than full H.D.!!!!!!!

  • Yes dear I have z5 premium for 8 months, and if you watch a 4k movie you can see more details against even a 2k screen(I compared z5p vs note 5 alot)

  • So are telling ne this bexause you experienced a 4k vidoes on z5 or or telling ne what you have heard ir something else ? Do you have z5 premium ?

  • It absolutely has an amazing 4k screen, it's so sharp and quality is truly high, if you choose it for screen its 5.5 inch 4k won't let you down it's superb

  • Thanks a lot

  • Price is not an issue for me. Apple has strong security, doesn't hang & there is no way for virus. whereas android phone security problem, hangs up a lot & gets attack by virus

  • Metal frame with a glass back

  • Hello guys iam wondered how 4k videos are on z5 display.. have anyone of you experienced a youtube 4k videos and i mean 3840×2160p please answer .. does z5 premium really have a 4k display ?

  • Hello guys iam wondered how 4k videos are on z5 display.. have anyone of you experienced a youtube 4k videos and i mean 3480×2160p please answer .. does z5 premium really have a 4k display ?

  • Beware G5 and one plus 3 has better specs like both have better camera in low light both are SD 820 and 4gb ram has better battery life specially G5 actually i prefer G5 with a good case rather than sony Z5 and the battery is replaceable I suggest you go for G5 you won't regret it

  • i think to go for xperia z5 premium because it die hard

  • Can easily crack if you drop it to stone. IT happened to me, luckily back glass replaced by sony service. Now i use it with a thin soft plastic case :)

  • Innovation G5 Die hard phone Z5 OS customization and good build one plus 3 All of them has good build quality I don't know really hard to say wnich one to choose

  • Please cross out HP personally i would go for pixel or iphone if cost doesn't matter both are superb But i also like sony UI it is very smooth

  • Made of tempered glass only breaks if you drop on something very hard like on stone pavement

  • What is the back of this phone made of? Is it glass or metal? It's so reflective. Does it crack easily like other phones with glass casing?

  • Great :D.

  • For what it is worth, I have a Z5 and it overheats sometimes. Most often with apps with extensive use of camera and graphics (video, augmented reality), less often due to heavy general usage. Overheating should not be a concern for the regular user. Besides that, there is a lot of annoying stuff with this phone and I regret my purchase. (ex.: turns off when plugged in at 1%, external SD not operating as internal (apps move back when updated), glass cracks easily for the benefit of less scratches, softer and lighter casing makes it easier to bend, turning on takes forever, if you need to encrypt it you will also have an annoying signal when not entering passcode after restart, when fingerprint log in fails you are prompted to type SONY in capitals). Also, integration with Sony products and services was a part of my rationale to buy this phone, so naturally I regret it even more on that basis. Due to the fact that there is no other top line company that with such an ease lose their commitment to their service portfolio. But, again, for the regular user that is not into Sony services, this will not be a concern. It is a concern, however, that when you want a waterproof phone, you also want it to be sturdy. This phone is not. The first in z-series was sturdy, then lighter and more polished phones came out on the expense of their durability. This is not a phone fit to be handed over to your kids when you are done with it.

  • i do not know which phone i must buy this Z5 or one plus 3 or LG G5 ,, the most important thing for me is high quality

  • I agree with him dear i didn't figure such issues till now

  • Even when playing high graphics games or recording video with a high resolution or frame rate?? Are you sure.

  • Sony Z5 premium is the best in specs

  • Same here totally agree

  • The complaint that Z5 Premium overheats is a total lie. I am having it and nothing like that.

  • which phone should i go for 1. Sony Xperia Z5 Premium 2. Iphone 3. Google Pixel XL 4. Hp Elite X3

  • Due to overheating issues.

  • Does anyone have micro stutterings while scrolling on web? But it only occurs on some web pages and just slightly.

  • What I mean about "noise" during zooming in is (if i can describe it in layman's term) some artefacts present an photo becomes blurred hence the (technical term) "noise. There were (apparently) some issues with the speakers of the Z lineup that before it was updated to Marshmallow the speakers were loud and then it became kind of soft and week thereafter the update. Being the 5.5" phone that it is would you say definitely the Z5 Premium's speakers are louder than the Z5 and Z3? You said the photos doesn't look warmer but definitely not cool-looking like the bluish cool of the Z3? Have you had anymore updates to the camera to improve quality, speed & performance? On the multitasking does the apps (or games) still reload or does it keep memory and loads almost instantly? Bootup/startup is under 30 seconds?

  • i am tried of thinking between this phone and one plus 3 and huawi p9 , i need a phone with good mafucture quality to stay with me for years whci one is best

  • Yes it does overheat when recording with a high resolution or frame rate or playing a high graphics games, same as most smartphones.

  • for me i didn't face this issue till now any phone under heavy usage for sure will face the heating issue specially with games

  • The camera is nothing short of awesome, and I'm telling this as someone who used the Nexus 6P before this phone. Selfie camera is so-so, but it wasn't meant to be great in the first place. But the main camera is awesome, if you know what you're doing. Average Joe prefer to see the exaggerated artificial sharpness, oversaturated colors, overexposure and other post-processing goods, which make an photo appear great and "popping out" on phone screen. But if you know anything about photography, then you know these kind of things are crippling your photos permanently, and you can say goodbye to any true post-processing (Photoshop, Lightroom, etc...). With Z5P, captured colors are very natural, object edges are not oversharpened, and in 23mpix shooting mode, details are unmatched. It is the easiest thing on world to jump on some hatewagon, criticizing "wounded" brands and praising currently popular ones, which many tech-portals do today (accommodating their reader base), as well as their readers. It is a bit harder, though, to do some research, to make your own judgment based on facts. However, GSMArena review of this phone is one of better ones.

  • Z5 Premium will (most probably) get the X series user interface with upcoming Nougat update (and that one is around the corner), so that is of no relevance more or less. If you prefer the Z5 Premium (which I did) just go for it.

  • I heard that Z5 Premium got overheating issues. Is it true??

  • imo go for the newest "XZ" in case its price is ok for you but you will miss the radio app. if you need it! also check the design which is better for you as they are different For me i went for Z5 premium due to radio app + larger battery in addition to that I didn't like the XZ design a lot but both of them are super high quality in the hands!

  • I'm very confused, should i choose Xperia Z5 Premium or Xperia XZ? both these phones were great. I wanna pick Z5 premium. However, the Xperia X UI looks amazing. Which makes me think of choosing XZ. Any suggestion???????

  • Totally agree.. This phone is nothing but cheap! Don't waste your money. They call it premium but it doesn't live up to premium. Sony could do better with the audio system and camera which they are known for. Aside from those downfall . The phone is okay but I need my phone for Sharp images, good camera and speed!

  • To owners of Z5 Premium-I use iPhone SE 64 GB and it works great, battery life is great, but as a Linux user it annoys me that I need to reboot to Windows (I use for games) every time I want to transfer something because of the iTunes that dont exist for Linux. Also forcing me to use iCloud if I want to make the most out of my iPhone is getting annoying. I am considering selling it and switching back to Android. As a previous Sony user I want Xperia again, XZ is expensive and doesnt offer much advantage over Z5 so I am considering Z5 Premium which can be found cheaper as it is late 2015 model. How is battery life? Can you go all day on 4G with lots of use? Sound quality via headphones? Sony supposedly has one of the better audio chips and I use my phone for listening to music so I wonder if it is an improvement compared to iPhone. Screen quality? I know its 4K but iPhone has a damn good screen (colors/contrast/viewing angles) and I read some concerning comments that visibility is not so good when viewed from the side, is that true? I also read it has some heating issues, does is just get warm or overheats?

  • My phone when I play games after 10 min the screen hangs and the buttons home and back hang Olso till I block the screen, any body have an idea is that software or hardware?? And is there any body faced the same problem?? Please answer me

  • what kind of error occur after system update ? I want to update my system.

  • You will receive several updates once you connect it to the wifi but all of them are different in content and size i downloaded almost 5 updates and then the phone become stable with no more updates

  • I just bought this phone yesterday and it keeps on asking me to update the software.. I have updated the software for 4 times now.. How to fix this issue? Thanks!

  • using since 5 months, perfect phone. Just a single complain: I usually take 4k videos and have no problem with that but i dont understand why sony cant just put the 4k recording setting on the general video recording resolution settings? unfortunetaly when i transfer my videos to pc and see them on bigger screen, 1080p recording is awful compared to my 5 years old iphone 4s. I just dont get it and never use 1080p. thats why i complain to cant choose 4k as default resolution :)

  • I just got it last week the chrome color also upgrading from Z2.....really super high quality phone comparing Z2 quality and xperia X.....Really its a PREMIUM device!

  • Ive been using Z5 Premium Dual since August last year. Ive the chrome one. My friends go crazy about it! They cant stop talking about it! They said its super classy and sleek! Well, the heating problem is still there, but nevertheless, Im still a certified SONY user for life! Z5 Premium is the best!

  • I tested it last and left it standby in stamina mode it didn't decrease even 1%

  • thats because the Z5P has a higher pixel density(almost double) and it takes out the battery faster than the z2.

  • Sure dear its a super premium device,,, liked it

  • Whatever, what matters is the real life experience.

  • Its because z5 is 4K and z2 is 2K

  • It because the 4k screen use more battery that fhd screen and z2 have smaller screen

  • Z5 has best camera in the world. Fastest autofocus and great pictures. You font know to use your phone

  • My Z5P in stamina mode at 100% gives me 69 hours while my old Z2 in stamina mode gives me 144 hours.....and Z5 P battery 3430 and Z2 3200mAh???!!

  • I bought Z5P almost a year before. Camera performance of said mobile very much poor in night.overall Worst experience.

  • Very powerful

  • How is battery life when using Xperia Z5 premium dual?

  • Thanks for your reply but I am first own to my Z5 p.

  • Result of buying 2nd hand/refurbished phone.

  • I bought it from month and now I noticed that when I play games sometimes the bottom part of the screen stop working although the upper part of the screen works properly, what is this??

  • Only got 2 or 3 month back had to put it in for repair because lock/power button, camera button and volume button didn't work aswell as fingerprint thing. Got it back yesterday and it's already stopped working again. Seriously annoyed

  • Need a software to put my phone to order

  • Z5P all the way..

  • Is z5premium still ok for now? I want to get new one...

  • Just curious , wish to know any other Sony Z5premium user facing same issue as me. I just send my z5 premium to sony service center due to unable to charge, Always shuts down after booting up to Sony welcoming screen. Noticed few people was there with same issue...luckily haven 1 year yet....

  • haha exactly! the whole X series is meh.....even XZ, for a 2015 smartphone, hands down Z5P its one of the best. If you're looking for something more powerful, get the 2016 ones like S7, V20, Mate 9 or even a Pixel for faster updates, or OnePlus 3T if you're in a budget :>

  • Thank you very much Sony!I had samsung s5,htc m7 ,lg g3.I became a sony fan from 2003.Never fail.Solid ,beautiful,elegant,powerfull and stable.Who buy a Sony never regret .Sony is QUALITY.

  • Hey there, in low light use only 8 mp.

  • What makes me confused the quality of this phone it really looks premium specially the chrome color even the regular Z5 variant over the xperia x

  • I cant everything in terms of detailed specs, but here goes (based on my experience with Z5P) 1. Yes, Updated mine a few days ago 4. Camera still takes 1-2 seconds to load, not instant. Colours are better, definitely not warmer. Night shots are indeed better, but noise still present. Saving photos is much faster, though not instant. Zoom noise? I never actually experience that, so im not exactly sure about the "noise". 5. Speakers are better than any of the Z or even X series. But S7's mono speaker is still louder. S6 even louder. 6. Rebooting time still slow AF. Updates did not do any justice in the reboot time. The phone itself perform much faster, but start-up time is still extremely slow. Changing sim will require you to reboot twice, this is probably the most irritating part of this phone. 7. Nougat for all Z5 series gonna be at Q1 2017 8. Heating issue still present ( i live in a tropical country ), though I felt it only when the device is rebooting/starting up, 4K video taking especially. For normal camera and video capture (1080p), it will still heats up, but not as hot as 4k, especially is the screen brightness is all the way to the top. I've been using the Z5P since the launch day in my country and still loving it ever since. Hope that helps. :>

  • Well, if its not a Pixel or a Nexus, updates will be slow or later. No one can say that Z5 series will receive Android O or P, and so does every other manufacturer out there. Getting updates for 2-3 years is good enough for me, even in marshmallow, this is already a solid phone. Even better than the current XZ.

  • Rooting = Disabling Bloat Sony Apps = Longer Battery Life.

  • Which settings did you touch?

  • 1. Does this phone have the latest November security update? 2. Is the memory storage the UFS-type? Or something that is slightly slower? 3. Is the memory LPDDR3 or the newer LPDDR4? 4. With the latest camera update does it now open/load up faster? Colours warmer and not cold-looking? Night shots better? Quicker processing/saving of photos? Zoom still noisy? (Had Xperia phones in the past and the same symptoms seem to occur...poor memory management hence the apps load slow, camera takes 1-2 seconds to actually open, photos has a bluish/cool tinge, night shots is poor with a purple/orange tinge when adjusting the Manual setting, digital zoom has so much noise) 5. Heard the speakers sound tiny and muffled compared to past Xperia Z phones, Galaxt S7, etc. 6. And why is the startup/reboot lasts almost 60 seconds? 7. Nougat anytime soon? 7.0 is out Sept/Oct and 7.1.1 out December. Can we expect a major update soon? 8. Still have sign of heating after latest update? (If i'm taking a video it would only be 1080p)

  • Phone heating is normal when you are connecting it to a Wifi or mobile data connection because it is consuming a large amount of battery life.

  • This is a known heating problem. Its due to Snapdragon 810 CPU and the heating problem can't be stopped. It adds to bad battery life.

  • Agree with you dear but sony always stops updates for 2 years old devices and nougat will be the last for Z5 family this is why am confused

  • Z5 Premium all the way dude. Best phone eva

  • 88000 is not bad result(at least om mine z5 premium).its great improvment over 801 who scored 50000

  • Hi, I'd love to hear how did you root this phone. Is your bootloader still locked? How is the camera quality after root? What settings have you changed to get 6 hours OST? Thanks

  • i bought this phone and i had problem because the phone is heating in my hand while I'm using in chatting or browsing, and this is minium requirement , i think they have to fix the phone heating problem, many users told me they experience the same problem and i have replaced the phone with non Sony device.

  • Z5 premium much worth it. From what I have seen Even though xperia xz much faster. But still the performance doesn't make any difference. Better to wait sony to come up with a 4GB of RAM. And last one the score of xperia z5 premium in antutu benchmark is a disappointment. However, I never believe the score from antutu benchmark.

  • Budget wise it is cheaper than XZ and is just 1 yr. old 2015 flagship and Sony's standard will still get Software updates longer than any non-Google OEM. Also is the only current 4K(UHD) Smartphone to date and maybe hopefully will have a future successor.

  • Z5 is very good for smartphone becouse ram and chipset is nice the engine is quadcore nice

  • Not a best choice to replace xperia xz over z5 premium. wait for a better and higher specs from sony

  • Also i mean future updates as i think that nougat will be the last update for Z5P

  • Z5P hands down. X doesnt even have waterproofing and a weaker chipset compared to 810. But X might get Nougat sooner than the Z5 series.

  • I think this smartphone similar to Premium Dual (Not trying to be rude or complaining) because Premium is better than Premium Dual.

  • Z5 premium or xperia x to upgrade from z2?

  • Sure dude!! Eeehhh ❓ Haha

  • You are right I noticed that it is the latest update from marshmallow

  • Just reset it from reset button near the sim card

  • Agreed, the best phone. 4K screen is awesome, and after root + some settings, I'm getting 6hour SOT. It's just amazing phone.

  • Is your phone rooted?

  • How come you receive Nougat.... Android Nougat didn't rolled to Z5 Series Only to X Performance & XZ

  • The very best

  • I just received nougat software update is there any one installed it and what are your opinions about it??????

  • Connect the usb stick by otg interface and then use detect the usb icon. You can add that icon on status bar icons when you go to edit that

  • Free some storage dude

  • Dear Sony, You need to step up your game. Please bring an XZ premium with something like 4k for the Z5p. Please put in atleast 6 gigs of ram, an improved 23mp camera perhaps with a newer sensor. High quality sound, external and for headphones. 4000Mah battery and all aluminum build. I need to see you become King of 2017!!

  • So my Xperia Z5P went dead today !! my battery went to 0% and the phone won't boot or even charge no led light ... nothing my warranty ended last month anyone have a solution if i tried to install a new ROM will it help !?

  • Can't wait to get Nougat on this monster.

  • i have same problem in Z2, once i reset factory the problem solved. this problem get because of virus, android can't protect it self variance IOS "unfortunately"

  • Its stable and beast of a phone- great camera, good battery life, great screen, super build quality.. I have chrome so looks real VIP...

  • Chrome

  • In xperia z5 premium. On Max player 4k display working

  • How i used USB in xperia z5 premium

  • Yeah, me too!!! This was the best flagship phone last year and hoping for it's successor with native 4k LCD Screen 5.5" or more, even include a stylus then it'll be the best phablet that doesn't burn or explode.

  • Used iPhone1,2,3. ss note 1,2,3,4. Z5p is the only phone i hv no complain about. Its solid, premium quality. I hope they come up with 2nd gen of z5p.

  • should we hear all your boaring and anoying history about how you bought , droped and the problem about your phone ?

  • Does it support imo and skype well...?

  • Try sony pc companion.

  • No, just gets warmer than others, due to Snapdragon 810 chipset. Sony added dual heat pipes in these models to assist with the extra heat, so no problems there.

  • Does it over heat?

  • try to install again or download again. if no good,reboot and start all over.

  • Xperia system update downloading but not installing successfully. What might be the issue? How to handle this?

  • Can't wait for Sony to release the next Z5 Premium with UHD native screen.... In the meantime I'm rocking with this phone.

  • Z5 premium

  • You have the same problem as mine, (mine is Z2 though).. I don't know why, but a lot of Sony users I've encountered got the same problem... My father uses Z2 also, and he also got that problem a couple months back..

  • Best phone of 2015 and probably even now with native 4K UHD screen. Great for VR!

  • Price is depend by colour tupe. Gold and chrom version cost more then regular black version. In Switzerland up to 70CHF.

  • What are the differences between the dual sim verion and the normal international? And why is the dula sim version cheaper at about 430€ vs 500€ ? At last would you reccomend this phone in novemeber 2016 thanks in advance

  • I just a bought a z5 premium 5 months ago and I can say is that it's good, i love it! But it broke last week because I accidentally drop it and now the screen is not functioning. It doesn't have any crack at the screen tho. TT_TT

  • Latest devices are always the best but also expensive. But if you don't mind it being that Z5 Premium is a 2015 flagship and cheaper now then go for it. It is the ONLY PHONE WITH 4K NATIVE DISPLAY!!!! Good for VR if you into it.

  • Which one would you recommend in 2016 priv v10 or the z5 premium Please help!

  • Ok..so its it worth to change my note 3 to z5p...at my country z5p as become cheaper now due to new xperia...thanks :)

  • Great! another positive feedback :) I think now its the best choice now between all current xperias

  • Which one would you recommend in 2016 priv v10 or the z5 premium

  • Advantage of z5p is its dust and water proof,so with its camera Disadvantage :the 4k feature drains the battery P.S: but if you put ur z5p in staminw mode it can last up to 7 hours straight gaming(clash of clans),facebook and youtube

  • Advantage of z5p is its dust and water proof,so with its camera Disadvantage :the 4k feature drains the battery P.S: but if you put ur z5p in staminw mode it can last up to 7 hours straight gaming(clash of clans),facebook and youtube

  • Most obviously the stylus and it's much bigger, plus it's a 2013 flagship phone vs a newer 2015 flagship. Just check their specs.

  • Helo z5p user,i using a samsung note3,but i want to change to z5p,can i know advantage and disadvantage between z5p and my note 3,cause i love z5p design and my note 3 start to lag and having problem thanka... :)

  • Yeah, the only current phone that has a native 4K Screen on the market. Hoping for them to release next year XZ Premium with 4k Screen aswell w/ latest SoC and probably higher RAM(if possible).

  • Sony abandoned Z series but still hasn't managed to bring anything better in the market than this beast.

  • Hey, i bought the international version 3 months ago and this phablet is amazing, yeah it warms a bit with the constant use but nothing to be worried. I love it. Buy it! you'll no repent! Greetings

  • I have this phone and its an amazing one, the latest update solved the heat problem, you want a reliable, fast phone, a phone would stay for years working properly? then this is the phone you are looking for

  • Thanks dear

  • Playing HIGH GRAPHIC GAMES/RECORDING 4K VIDEOS does make the phone warm but not much with the latest firmware version which they have fixed. But don't worry cause it won't explode or burn like Samsung phones. As it auto-closes apps that causes high cpu usage.

  • Hello guys am planning to get this phone the coming days upgrading from Z2,,,i prefer the chrome color,,,, but am asking does it have a major issue or any other problems??

  • Can't you read the specifications? Ever since last year it has a IP68 Dust/Water "RESISTANCE".

  • Is the z5 premium completely waterproof

  • Sony Xperia XZ...

  • Please I just bought this phone , I can't put the Google bar in the home page it messaged ( can't put budget on the page ) anyone have an idea?? Please answer me

  • Loud

  • Z5 Premium of course, it's the only phone with 4k resolution atm.

  • Sony Xperia Z5 Premium or htc 10

  • Hey hi. How is its Speakers? Low or loud?

  • Go to XDA Forums. There are alot of topics there about Sony Phones upgrading, downgrading, custom roms, etc.

  • DavenFMr10 hours ago I bought this Samsung simfree, 3 days later it stopped working, Samsung repaired it under warranty, it always gets hot, battery life is not as good as it is was at the start, once it starts getting warm I turn it off, because the battery is much worse when it's warm. Got myself an Z5P now.. This Z5P will keep me going until Sony release another Z5P with 4k Display variant plus it doesnt burn or explode like Samsung phones.

  • I bought this phone simfree, 3 months later it stopped working, sony repaired it under warranty, it always gets hot, battery life is not as good as it is was at the start, once it starts getting warm I turn it off, because the battery is much worse when it's warm. Got myself an S7 edge now, only because samsung pulled the Note 7. This S7 edge will keep me going until samsung release another S-Pen variant.

  • Guys..need help how to down grade z5premium to original software version?

  • Most VR gears actually support Z5p since it's the only phone that is fully capable of 4k currently. Just be sure to have proper ventilation as it really gets hot in 4k and of course it wont explode like Samsung.

  • Any VR Headgear supporting this? This will look better since it has a 4k resolution/806 ppi pixel density support better than any Samsung phone. I mean no other phone have reached that level yet but only Sony did,

  • I just bought this Z5 last month and i very satisfied with it. The battery is great, if you not a heavy user it will last 4-5 days and i tested it already. Heating issues, only heat when use 4K video and play high graphic games, for me this heating issue is very minor problem as long i'm not a heavy user (if you want to play high graphic games, buy a Alienware :p). I bought this phone coz of the camera image quality and also the built in stabilization is superb. This is my honest opinion. Never try never know ^_^

  • i had this phone and the sound quality is great ^_^

  • Nope it does not.... It only happens to the "S7 Series" that overheats their screens crack.

  • yes it does

  • if this phone overheats the screen will burn and yellow spots will appear and it will over heat easily. otherwise its good and the camera is nothing .

  • Thank you for your explanation

  • Thanks. How many hours the both of them last ?

  • I have had the Z5 Premium for 10 months now and my gf has the note 5, and my phone always outlasts hers

  • Hi there, lots of Q about the Xperia Z 5 Premium, have had mine close to six months now. First of all, I have yet not seen any competitor be in the neighborhood of the 4G LTE speed of this phone where (at my work) my old Z2 reaches the download speed of approximately 36Mbit/S, my coworkers iPhone 7 reach 45, Samsung 7 reach 41 iPhone 6 42, my Z5 Premium goes over 100..... More than double the speed of the poor competitors downloading data, film and movies..... It gets a bit warm running 4k applikations, not to warm, doesnt shut down when filming 4k, works perfectly and flawlessly and do you know what? It can, its the only smartphone in the world that can!!! Battery life, when running 4k, pretty poor, needs recharging every day, but it can 4k......... Battery over all is awesome, I recharge normally about every third (3) day, sometimes every second day, if its under 40 percent I recharge, havent heard of any competitor that is close to that. The screen is awesome, and works perfectly when photo or filming in 4k, guess what, the 4k screen shows exactly what the great 23mp camera delivers, competitors poor screens have to recalculate the image, with some obvious flaws... I have the goldbar, love it, looks so good, got it pretty cheap to, there will be a new one to take its place from Sony soon. Until then, this is the only one, 4k, I have had it a good time now, cant find anything weak about it yet, so until it has been replaced, THIS IS THE GREATEST SMARTPHONE OF TODAY!!! Please, if any cuestions, just fire away, glad to help if I can. Br Lassee

  • Wich battery last longer the note 5 or the sony xperia z5 premium. For youtube streaming and gaming. Please help me choose.

  • thank you for your reply but is it loud at the same time, like htc audio quality thanks again

  • Brightness is good enough if you not put on adaptive brightness.Battery life is good if you not using many stupid apps.if you keep it in your hand and play high grafik games ofcourse heats up.

  • With headphones super quality audio. Ac3 player app gives better sound.

  • i like this device but before i buy it i have one question, how is the audio quality with using headphones..because i tried M5 and the audio is too low,, kindly advise me as im an audiophile thanks

  • Am about to get a phone to use for one year plus but considering this 2 kindly suggest pls 1. Samsung note 5 2.Sony Xperia z5 premium

  • any one pls comment if this phone supports volte

  • Im not an expert, but if you are after; waterproofing, go for Z5P. Screen size, go for XAU Battery life, go for Z5P (assuming the capacity) Performance, go for Z5P Camera, go for Z5P Brightness issue, turn off the Adaptive Brightness in settings, and manually slide brightness to your preferences Heating issue is with SD810 used in Z5 & Z5P (when you use apps that requires high amount of processing. 4K video recording, high graphic games etc for a period of time)

  • My Z5 premium is'nt got new update release software. Why?

  • ucb C is a good thing, but not very important. yes it has a LED notification light

  • does this handset support volte

  • Single Sim uses highest possible LTE Speeds and more supported Bands than a Dual that is half LTE Speed and less Bands.

  • Is there any difference between the single sim and the dual sim version of the Sony Xperia Z5 premium as far as performance is concerned? I've always been a firm believer in single sim handsets because they've all served me very well but I'm willing to give the dual sim version a try.

  • SD 810 heats up. The Nexus 6P has it and it gets warms and sometimes very hot. 820 is fixed that issue.

  • Dont let trolls fool you, every phone heats up specially when using the camera(4k recording) or high graphic games but it wont burn or explode on you!!!

  • If you're a gamer and play heavy ones, the battery lasts shortly. For normal use (sms & calls) you could count on you're z5 premium for 36 to 48 hours. If you add social networking apps, This phone can handle if up to 1 day.

  • how du i connect my data and wifi with my sony z5

  • The Back side like mirror. good but does it have Scratch-resistant glass, oleophobic coating on the back ?

  • Hello guys. I wanted to ask that iam confused about that whether to purchase xperia xa ultra or z5 premium..? Heard that z5 have very low brightness and heatup issue... and about xa ultra that its a good phone but low battery storage and camera is of not that much good quality.. so need expert advice who personally used both the phones.. no rumours..

  • Problem wth sony dmartphones is there low contrast display.

  • Yeah its very nice

  • Guys this mobile did not usb c . Is it big problem ??? And is this mobile have notification led ???

  • Xperia Z1 has 2 GB of RAM. None of the variants of Z1 have 1 GB RAM.

  • Lolzzz plz use this phone once before give your opinion. ..... this phone is totally compete the all brands... awesome I just love it .. battery timing and camera is sufficient

  • I have read quite a few comments about this phone. Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course. It is easy to spot the I-Phone users most of the time. First about the camera being poor. Any idea how many other big names use Sony's camera?? Apple, Samsung, Lg and more. Second, ram does make a difference to an extent. Just like in most real world applications, bigger isn't always better. I have a Z1 that I got from China long before it was available here, and with 1GB ram, it was better than the Samsung S6 i tried. The samsung couldn't run my Need for Speed game without freezing up. Everytime. Third with the battery. Not every piece of equipment will be the same. Just like vehicles, 2 identical cars wont be the same. One may get great gas mileage, the other not. One may have lots of repairs, one may not. I have just ordered a new Z5 Premium in Chrome, and I know it will be a 50/50 tha everything will be perfect on it. After over 4 years, I still get a day and half from my Z1, and that is checking emails all day for work, some surfing and many, many calls. I used to get over 2 days. I know 3 people with the Z5 series. only one is disappointed with the battery life, only a day. The other 2 get at least a day and half. But the first one is a you tube addict, so conclusions can be drawn from that. I have had a Sony phone for over 6 years now, and have tried Samsung in between, LG and Google. I have a very old phone by todays standards, and I can outperform some I-phones, and some other much newer and more expensive smartphones. But some I can't, depends on what you are dealt. One friend just got his new Samsung S7 and I can download a video faster than him with this Z1. Its all about the averages people, in my opinion.

  • how about the overheating problem? is it still there? im not a heavy user. what's caused the phone overheat??

  • I have had my Z5 Premium since it was launched, I love it and the battery life is magic compared to my old Z2, if I use just as a phone and text I can go for at least 4 days without a charge and then I only plug it in cos its a habit. Heavier use, surfing, watching vids I can get about two days on the go then its needs charging, hope that helps you and enjoy your Z5 :)

  • Batt life is quite okay. Not a very impressive one but i would say is good enough. I am kinda mid-heavy user..i do a lot of browsing, youtube, and sometimes gaming. From 7am to 2pm i need to charge it. But for regular use, like a little browsing/youtube, make some calls and text (whatsapp/bbm), i think i can make it until night time with no problem. Compared to my previous s6, z5p's batt is better/longer-life.

  • my device sony xperia z5premium has a problem of wifi and data being on even if i switch it off this affects my charge as it consumes power and credit due to data usage.the problem has lasted for 2 months now plz assist

  • Hello guys i am planning to buy z5 premium but i am not sure about its battery life as i ve seen quite a few negative comments regarding its poor battery life so if any of xperia z5 premium user can guide me about z5 premium battery life i would be thankful.

  • Dude, although it is 4k screen, but the screen is IPS, the power consumption of this screen type is mostly measured by the background light, yes the number of pixels makes a deference, but not seriously.

  • Thus is Beast of FLagships!!

  • No other Phone can beat this even that samsung exploding phones. HIGHEST PIXEL DENSITY or RESOLUTION (806 ppi). Sadly it's limited by Android OS.

  • Not only that!!!! It'll kill the BATTERY FASTER THAN LIGHT!!!!..... So what's the use of it being a SMARTPHONE if battery runs out in just an hour or two.

  • dude ?!! smartphones don 't need more ram like pc!! os is heavier and app too for pc .. tasks are simple compare to pc !! 3gb ram is enough for an android phone /

  • Actually, if you use less ram, then you'll have a problem of heating. Because, the phone can not handle some problems. For example, iPhone 7 has 2 gb of ram, but iPhone 7 Plus has 3 gb of ram. Because iPhone 7 Plus has a bigger screen and dual cameras. iPhone 7 has smaller screen and only one camera. This is what RAM works for. RAM provides the performance to handle big things and solve issues. So, bigger quantity of RAM means less heating.

  • they probably cant use more ram because of the heat they allready have problems with that

  • Sony deserves to be out of business. I used to be a big fan. Their phones are so disappointing. Poor battery, poor speaker, poor camera, low volume level. How can you compete with Sammy, Apple, and Lg? smh siighhh

  • There was no comparison. Because, the Ram is all the same in both computers and smartphones. Higher ram means higher performance.

  • Dude please don't compare a SMARTPHONE to a GAMING COMPUTER, seriously...

  • Look, I don't say Sony Xperia series are bad smartphones or something. But, ram is the most important performance provider in any electronic device. For example, if you haven't at least 8 gb ram on your pc, you can not play gta 5 properly. Or, if you haven't at least 2 gb ram video card, you can not play the latest games from Assassin's Creed. Like computers, smartphones need a good ram to work. If you want to play Asphalt 8 or if you wanna multitask your apps or if you wanna use dual camera; you will need a higher ram memory. Today, 3 gigs of ram is good but it won't be soon anymore. I would recommend Sony make a 4-6 gb ram smartphone or i can guarantee you nobody will use Sony smartphones. Because they will be insufficient.

  • Ram means everything to you then you should remove all iPhone from any top 10 if ram is is most important thing I've had sony xperia z2 for 2 years no lag at all it hasn't got slower or anything works perfect it's about ram management

  • Go for an Iphone 6s or Galaxy S7 (or Edge) the sony is not worth the money man the camera will dissapoint you and it does heat alot... this Z5 is a good model but its a little bit expensive (second hand is a better option idk)

  • simply the best Smartphone i'm very satisfied with it

  • Why the hell can't I get a Z5 premium? Overdue for upgrade, they were there, now they're gone, Sony! I'm not happy Bruno Jelly

  • True , big capacity battery but not perform up to the standard , need to charge day and night , if gaming and entertainment frequently , then need to charge twice a day ! Origin charger just normal charger , need to buy quick charger for $49 .....

  • Dont buy sony xa / xa ultra xa ultra.buy z5 or z5 premium

  • Buy Z5 or wait for upcoming XZ flagship.

  • I'm new for XPERIA so please advice me Which is the best mobile Z5 Premium or Z5 or S7 Edge ?

  • The honest truth is... Sony doesn't need 4 or 6 gigabyte of ram to run fast and smooth. The fact that 4 or 6 gigabyte of ram is in any phone is redundant and unnecessary in phone. A phone can never be or overrun a PC in the real world. 3gb ram is more than enough for a smartphone... If other OEM's need any more than 3gig, It shows their sloppiness in software to hardware craftsmanship.

  • suggestions required please- Should i buy Z5 premium or XA ultra. AS per configurations in terms of technical aspect and the size Z5 seems better than XA ultra. But since XA ultra is latest in the market will it have better resale value than Z5 premium. 2. Charging 60% in 30 mins mentioned as a feature ? is that a clich. 3. which of the 2 has a better battery life and the body heats up less.

  • remove this phone from 'top 10 by fans' list. it is a very old phone with an only 3 gigs of ram. it can not even compete against lg g2.

  • Lol

  • Price for z5 is higher coz the spect is higer too than xa ultra.But i.admit that xa x or eben xa ultra have just pure beauty design.

  • For its utmost quality, Sorry but I'm not accustomed to low quality cheap products.

  • of course they make a profit, because they sell product at excessive prices. but you fan boy still buy an overpriced thing for what, for pride or for stupidity?

  • Hello every one fan of Sony I have simple qes I will buy Sony mobile I want to buy xA ultra and I found z5 the price for z5 is high allittel than xA ultra which I get please advice wait replay spoon . Thanks

  • Phone superb with battery finest

  • Similar question aforementioned below. Black or Chrome? I'm undecided.

  • is battery terrible ?

  • I love the Z5 Premium! Does everything I need it to do! The battery doesn't last though. Needs charging day and night. And the latest software upgrade starts reminding you now from 30%.

  • Thus Sony flagship is a work of art cell!

  • Dont be so retard,sony is sony,better brand in masterpiece,samsung is just a down away,maybe samsung user need to put sony brand on their phone to look more great...lol

  • Hye SONY! I'm a SONY XPERIA Z5 PREMIUM user. I'm a great fan of SONY. & SONY XPERIA Z5 PREMIUM CHROME is really awesome device! Please, upgrade this device with Android 7.0 Nougat as soon as possible! please! please! please!

  • Heat specifically means high intensity or power consumption, the qualcomm 810 is a power hunger which makes it heats up a lot, but sony always gives their smartphones a complete control on the intensity to decrease when it becomes overheated then increase it when it becomes normal ''overheat control " you can recognize that sony is the less thermal issues between all smartphones which has the same chipset.

  • Sure, Sony becomes hot under heavy usage, but that's better than having my phone self destruct while charging.

  • if your phone gets hot does it means it have powerful hardwares? and i know sony shutdown units when its too hot...

  • My dear Sony's products are always have great built, hardware and software quality. And always quality products asks us more money. I love all Sony's products

  • black always

  • I'm big fan of Sony xperia mobile but his price is very hight and RAM is only 3GB. this is not fair

  • Of course gold

  • black version is the best looking.

  • What's better the chrome or the gold version ?

  • Been a garbage man for two years now, dropped my Xperia in the packer unknowingly loading and packing all day until I realized it was gone later in the day. I dumped my truck and had a workmate call it sure enough it was in the load. I picked it up gave it a wash in the sink and still going strong. That's what to expect from Sony.

  • @ABHIJIT BISWAS WEST Since the Xperia Z2 all devices support VoLTE ;) we have a local contest where you have to call the newspaper at 2pm and win tickets... My family wins the whole time, because we have amazing fast xperia phones :D

  • SONY has made it pricelessly, but does it support VoLTE ? if NOT,it may be priceless but entirety "worthless" in today's 4G era.

  • sony=unique

  • Actually these days are best days,Sony introduced best flagship Xperia xz,and sells are maybe low but still Sony made profits of it.

  • I know it's a hard time for you sony fanboys....I feel for you guys

  • Sony All time favorite. Design, software, specifications are state of the art and unique. In fact some devices of Sony had heating issues but still Sony is the best. Samsung, Htc and like these other mobiles looks like ancient. Rubbish software and non user friendly hardware like as menu, power or volume buttons. SONY you rocks.

  • It becomes hot under heavy load, but wont create problem, I mean the performance dosent decrease

  • this phone has JackProblem.given to service in last 2 months 2 times.any solution.....bought it before 4 months

  • dies it really have a heat promlem???

  • Lol nobody cares

  • Lol, you have no idea about what you say,if you continue like this people call you dumb, because your saying are exactly opposite of reality

  • Hi guys. When it comes to phone Sony knows the taste of your heart. X5 premium am in love with I really love Sony so much. Am your biggest fan.... Like no other

  • Samsung is filth, Samsung is terrible, sony better camera, better screen , better sound , samsung or apple never reached her heels , sony First place forever...

  • This phone is absolutely amazing. Only one problem for me, the volume buttons are painful to get

  • Bye sony samsung and apple much better

  • Sony is gone for good. Their last good device was the Z2 after that everything was a horrible mess..And man, even though the software is a quite stockish, the optimization is one of the worst...Sub 300$ phones provide better performance than X performance

  • I love samsung so much

  • I charged with Samsung FC (from my a5 6) and it works. Original charger whitch You get in box is not fast charger (not in Europ). Better option is FC from Sony if you use it every day.

  • Charged it with the supplied charger did't worked 4 me.

  • Download another massaging application.

  • Can someone help? How can I resolve the problem that, when ever I want to send sms with multiple contacts it immediately convert the message to mms. Is anyone there knows to correct this problem.?

  • Show me your cold xperia z5 premium ?

  • Can i use a samsung logo in z5 premium ? Because i love samsung. Samsung forever !

  • Sony have a little problem with over heat. I have z5p and it's great phone, but sometime it is very hot and I dont play game on it. For huawei I cannot say, because I never use one. But... Sony is Sony.

  • I use fast charger (from samsung) and it's work ok. I usualy use original charger whitch I got in box. Only if I need phone and battery is empty, then use FC.

  • I was using huawei p7 for 2 years i started to move a bigger move select between s7 or z5 premium it was not money issue but i liked this phone much than s7 i bought it it was awesome great sony sony sony

  • It is very unfortanate and distasteful in page that present the flagship of Sony to ask questions for samsung, the Sony is a class by itself, Sony is the one category it themselves, is like Candilac

  • Thus is Real question or just nonsense postings by Shamesung competition???

  • Can I use samsung fast charger/apple charger for my sony z5 premium? It is hard to find another Sony's fast charger !

  • According to DxOMark, the S7 has better camera than the Z5. X Performance matches both the S7 and HTC 10 as the best camera phones of mid-2016

  • which one better? huawei p9 or sony z5 premium? i am more of gaming person, camera is not that critical to me, need good performance, less heat issue

  • You are liar. This phone heat issue was solved. You make liar because you Samsung fanboy Stop liar for Sony.

  • With such a review you have just messed up my budget. Now I have to get this phone against my meager budget. Currently using the Z1 for over 2 years now and just managed to save up for Z3+ and here you are giving such an awesome review. Its all good.

  • Thanks a heap. You've really helped me to decide. I will get Xperia Z5 premium E6853 (single sim). I hope I will find chrome color because that's my favorite. Bravo Xperia!

  • Between these 2 devices S7 & Z5P , which one is best choice ?? which one has better cameras , battery life and water resistant ?

  • Such a liar, z5p getting hot so bad, heat problem never resolve, show me your cold z5p, and ill use a jug of water to shower you

  • Disagreee with thus post Z3+ is Japan version and those points are non issues with Sony's updates to software !!!

  • Thus SONY Z5P is a Beast of Flagship!

  • Z3+ was one of the biggest failures in the Z series, Z2, Z3 and Z5 have been really good. If you want to buy a complete smartphone which has great battery life, no overheating issues and stunning camera go for the xperia X, if you want bigger screen then go for Z5 premium. Both X and Z5 premium are classic phones from Sony.

  • Hey guys, looking for some advice. I'm really torn between this and the standard Z5. I currently own a Z2 and was dreaming of owning a 5.5" Z-series smartphone, and I guess I had my wish answered; this is it. The things that are holding me back on getting this, is that, first, is the audio jack issue, is it really a common problem on this device? Next is the battery life, does the standard Z5 really last longer than this one, despite the minor increase in display size and the larger battery, considering it outputs 1080p most of the time and considering the smaller battery of the standard Z5? Why is the video playback runtime short? Does it automatically upscale videos that you can't play them on their native resolution? Next, which color should I consider? Stuck with either the chrome or black, but was leaning more towards the black. The chrome is too luxurious to handle. I might consider the chrome because this is probably (unless a reboot is decided) the last of the Z-series; i.e. a legacy device. And other questions, is the chrome finish on the back easily scratched? The sides when you remove a case, can it easily scratch them? The sides, do cases, if ever, chip the paint off like the paint was just placed on top the material, or is the material made up of that color? From my experience in my Z2, cases did not chip the paint off. Just some "OCD" or "perfectionist" questions here because I plan not to replace the phone in the next 3-4 years. I'm really careful with my things, and that's me. Not unlike some who replace theirs almost every new release. Thanks. Answers would highly be appreciated.

  • Glad to see you happy with your phone :).

  • i am using Z5 premium about 1 month.i play clash of kings and clash of clan.i use my phone about 1-2hours without keeping it free.but my phone was not hot.yaait was warm but little. good tip for you,this smartphone is waterproof so sink it in a jug of cold water

  • sony z5premium

  • exactly i had a samsung galaxy s4. that was a stupid mobile.after 4 month it's IC or something was gone! so i got a j5,it was slow after some months! so i got sony z3 compact that was supvvv phone.still using about 4 month.only problem is some time it gets hot,but not so much.(i think its normal) now thinking to buy a sony xperia Z5 Premium.

  • I really feel encouraged by some comments while others are scaring. I intend to own Xperia Z5 premium E6853. The chrome color appears awesome. I have happily used other Sony's flagship phones except Z3+ and now Z5. Kindly advise whether I go straight for the Z5 premium or I drift back to Z3+. There's indeed something special about flagship Sony's compared to their midrange. I feel I want to stick to these high end great machines even if at times they cost an arm and leg.

  • Plus SONY Z5P camera sensor is Best camera ever tested! Hands down...

  • Not sure what your saying since you begin with SONY and end up speaking about SONY sensors on competitor cells... which SONY is major supplier sensors on these cells!! Get It ??

  • I have been using this phone from last 2 months not have a single issue . The only thing i noticed which is not as accurate as it has been advertise is the camera focus 0.003 seconds camera shutter speed and what they advertise clear 5X zoom . Dont whether its a software issue or whatever however Zooming is improved alot but this is not exactly with a quality which is advertised. I compare the zooming quality with samsung S6 and S6 wins in zooming . Apart from that speed , Display , Design and battery timing is awesome even camera is outstanding but SONY has to take step to compete with samsung in camera quality and features . SONY Z5P ROCK !!!!!!

  • Troll... For fast charge You need fast charger. I had and it is true 30min/60%

  • Nice trolls

  • Sony cut the cost of the phone by manufacturing their own screen instead of using Gorilla Glass. After months of living with the phone, I could say that the screen is as good as the Gorilla Glass if not better. My phone slipped twice already from the top of my shower heater, which is about 2 meters tall, and dropped to the tiled floor. The screen of the phone is still in pristine condition. Also, take note that I don't use any screen protector or tempered glass.

  • Fast battery charging: 60% in 30 min... ? "NO" inverted commas it did't not even close

  • I've never seen such a cheap display screen in such a pricey... Thats where samsung leads. Sold mine just a day ago O.o

  • Learn to write first. And don't compare crap Samsung with Sony...

  • a9 fam hehe not unless you want water resistance then go for the z5 hehe

  • 🔝🔝📧&#128­285;🔝 The title tells the answer. You could use it to break every iceberg. It does resist a bit of water. But it can be used as a sponge too.

  • The image sensor, iMX300, is a 25 MégaPixel multi-aspect sensor. 5984×4140 Pixels. But Nokia's two monster camera phones, Lumia 1020, and 808PureView, and the Lumia 1030, that never came, are multi aspect too. They all have a hidden, major, common weakness: They'all have no full-resolution capture mode. A full resolution capture would bring a picture with black corners. That's, where the field of view of the lens reaches it's limitations. No problem for power-users! Such an image would allow extracting all aspect ratios from one picture. Did nobody think of this before? Such an useful feature, which maxes out the actual capabilities of the camera, could actually be delivered with a software-update! And some some third-party apps always hit problems with multi-aspectation. That's why the Google camera maxes out at 4096×2160. That's 256:135 DCi4K. With a full-resolution capture mode this could be patched too‼

  • galaxy a9 pro or xperia z5 premium??

  • The phone is not wather proof. Mine is totaly fried. And i just put in in a bal with Water, for 1 Min. IT was a 3 months phone i payd for IT 650 euro. I am so disapointed in this phone and Sony. So do not put IT in wather. Sadly i mist go Back to my old z3.

  • that so called junk is cache,for all of you wich dont know what i that googel it,and you simpli go in setting,storage,internal storage,click on chached data and clear it,that it in fact cache is not problem,i clean it once a mounth,and i think phone i maybe a bit slower after cleaning it,i dont ee point of celaning it.. and cleaning the ram or whatever is that called now on that rubbish app,is usles,becouse it will shout down for example facebook,and then facebook will turn on again becouse it must work in backaround,otherwise you wont recive any noticifactions or anything form face. that if fact affect battery life badly,becouse app will turn on again,at there is no need for that its not just case with clean master its with all app like that one,and app wich saves battery life,well you can quess they dont,just slow down you phone,and waste energy form battery,all of tht rubbish is usseles

  • I agree with you, i also had this problem, heat problem still remain, battery drain so quick and lag when playing games, sony the best brand for me but when this happen it ruins my trust. Z3 problem never dissapear in z5, it still remain. Do something to keep your best quality of your product.

  • Heats up badly bro. Im facing this problem now. Battery drains so quick and have lag problem

  • Guys please tell me this phone heats up or not when playing heavy games??????? Guys please answer...

  • Shall we say here we go..!!!??

  • Excelente cell Sony!!

  • it is a great phone >>>>>>>>>>>>­

  • I love this too much. It is the best smart phone of the year 2016. Love Sony

  • Awesome phone ................... Trying having one approved by gaurav kotian

  • Rubbish phone........so slippery in hands........smudges everywhere in few seconds......hardly used...had to get a mother board replacement....lucky had a warranty or else would have been screwed.......Sony we love your phones ....just wake up....or if u have an agreement with other companies that you wont make better phones compared to their products and keep supplying them spare parts than we have nothing to say......!!!

  • I recommend this application just for deleting junks, any thing else noooooo, especially boost charge it ruined my battery so I had to change it :(.

  • and if you need to clean cache you can do it in settings,my phone works the same if i dont clean it

  • NO DO NOT download that shit,becouse of that stupid app my old xperia l was incredebly slow,when i deleted that rubbish phone worked 10 time better

  • I already own this device. This story based on my experience. Read carefully

  • Go to manual setting on camera and turn it to 23mp. 8mp is auto mode

  • The best smart phone ever. Downloading clean master app from Google play store for free is recommended to maximise performance and battery life.

  • ..ok I'm against marriage in general though, it's not you.

  • did you set it to 23mp?

  • Without having z5 premium.. You dare say troll story with small knoledge Z5P is the only 4K phone with impressive performance Everyrhing is COOL and smooth nd Battery life is OK for 1.5 day To say Z5P you have to buy Z5P first LoL

  • Claim warranty

  • I wanna marry him anyway

  • The best comment here!!! 6+

  • According to me SONY XPERIA Z5 PREMIUM is osmmmm mobile with great features with worst battery backup and now the new issue wifi is not working in my SonyZ5P after the recent updation. . . I feel very bad fa thisss..help me fa this issue SONY. . . Waiting for your valuable response. . .

  • Go to service centre and told them my phone speaker is not working properly

  • Z5 premium had a bad battery life. It drains so quick and too much heat and lag. Such a dissapointment to buy this smartphone with a high cost, its true because im the one who facing this problem and this the end for me for sony smartphone. Im not try to make a bad stories but it is true about sony flagship.

  • Sir can u tell me how is the internal audio quality when watching dolby featured movies is this smartphone has sorround sound any help regarding this will be helpful thank you

  • Had the opportunity to to play around with this phone a bit. very good, no annoying lags, very good camera, very responsive. downside is the battery life and heating when playing games or intensive using.

  • Stamina mode returned in the 6.01 update

  • Think twice before buying an Xperia Phone. Awful Camera Speed, bad battery life (they release the 6.0 update and remove the stam. Mode) and very slow. This is the z5, one of the best Flagships from Sony. They say its Camera is one of the best on the Market, but iy works very bad, even the camera of my asus zenfone 2 is faster and take sharper pics. Sad but brue

  • i hvng low sound in ma z5 p .... so if anybody having solution for dis ???

  • Pls check it before buying there are lot of problems in it. I bought it within two months I got problem with 3.5 m jack and got phone replaced. The phone I got has a scratch and dent on its side, and now during call with loud speaker caller hears his own voice ( again defective)

  • I'm using Z5P for 6 month, everything working out great & superb.. Confidence to use when in mind, u know that Sony product is very good, solid build, robust & durable.. 4K screen superb, stereo is very good, camera is fast & capture sharp & nice picture, doesn't matter with little noise sometime. Battery life is good enough with power saving mode option. 4K & HD video recorder works out very well, great detail with nice mic.. Never overheat but just a little warm when using about 3 4 hours of browsing or watching youtube, thank for cooling system inside.. For sure, I'm very satistied with my Z5P, fantastic chrom color with pride of "Like No Other"..

  • Display only 4k but camera quality is very poor camera like m4 aqua I use this phone 2 month heating issue camera is only 8 mp not 23 so guys this phone display is awesome enjoying movies

  • used only 2months and now the 3.5mm jack port is problem, sometimes can detect sometimes cannot.

  • 1 day.

  • Z3 is one of the best phones in the Z series, I used it for year and a half till I switched to Sony X.

  • Xperia z5p sure are the beast,even better than samsung that always lag,sony is the best went it come in quality and durability

  • Dude you replied to the wrong person

  • Can anyone tell me whats the battery life like on this device. I am not gamer. Lots of mails, chrome, youtube, calls, viber and camera. Thanks!

  • Why is that ? Z2 ? And what about z3 ?

  • Even note class ?

  • dude i didnt say it was built like a tank, i said it wont overheat like the x performance, any phone will crack at anytime having protection is always good

  • uumm what are u talking about any phone will break with the right drop, im saying that the x performance has issues

  • Yes shame is slugghish and cheaply built... there built cheap to keep their turnover high and consumer to keep buying new models!!!

  • Are you used android phones? Lag is most popular issue in Samsung phones.

  • What is lag

  • it s fantastic

  • Yes. 4k is 2160p, the camera shoots 2160p @ 30 frames per second and the display is 2160.

  • Using since Feb , and extremely happy with my Z5pre..

  • Both have similar power and camera. Note 5 - popular phone with lag. Z5 premium - durable phone and no lag.

  • Is it a 4k phone or not? Can i watch the the 4k videos online and make 4k videos?

  • have you honestly checked that poor gps connection. its piss poor on all apple product. prove me wrong on that. it hasn't been fixed since 2011.

  • My still snaps with newer cables. However, I've found that an older connectors, about 5 years now, that I have won't.

  • its water resistance not water proof

  • it only upscales it. if it isn't full 4k then you wont see the benefit. its like a camera that can record 4k but the display you watch it on is only 1080p. defeats the purpose of recording in 4k because you will never see the full spectrum.

  • if you need a case and tempered glass to keep your phone safe and usable then its not the phone that you claim it to be.

  • S7 all the way.. nothing to beat it until note 7 appears.. Sony keep screwing stuff up.. losing stamina mode.. dodgy fingerprint scanner. I own a S7 edge and an old Z Ultra (and before that a Note 1) not really comparable to each other but Samsung have moved further forward than Sony. Possibly to the further detriment to Sony. In a recent article it's suggested that only Nexus and Samsung are actually keeping devices up to date with the most current security updates.

  • Sorry dude that 'be safe' doesn't belong to Samsung.

  • Dave, you can use the "COMPARE" feature on this page, a new page will load with your desired phones side by side. I suggest you compare the devices base on these "key" features: Display, Platform, Memory, Camera, and Battery. Lastly the price! I hope you make the right decision, but as always the case, devices are only look good in commercial pictures and videos, as soon as you have it and the enchantment wears off, you will find that you have little use for it and makes you wonder why you bought it in the first place! lol (^_^)

  • the samsung s7 edge is better in videos I think (4k) on the other hand the x performance is only (1080p) in video capturing

  • the s7 edge dude, the x performance cant record in 4k overheats on the camera just go with the s7 edge and be safe, get a good case and tempered glass

  • Are you expecting something to till you that Samsung is better her on sony page, anyway, sony is definitely king of quality, maybe you can find more fun in Samsung devices but you have to expect troubles whenever it becomes older.

  • Go to service centre.

  • hi guyz, please help me to choose which one is the best mobile; Sony xperia x performance or samsung galaxy s7 edge?

  • note 5

  • Use mx player for playing videos on android.

  • I second that.. btw my z5 premium dual native player doesn't play 4k videos that I download from YouTube. Some 1080p lags as Well. The 4k content lags on players like mk, kmp and vlc.. I am disappointed. I had option to choose S7 edge and iphone 6s with my contract and I chose z5p dual gold because I wanted to support sony.

  • Please tell me note 5 or z5 premium. Which is the best for me to buy

  • Sony xperia z5 premium is the best 99.9%

  • Mine no issue..

  • I has a Z5 and it died cause of water... So it's not water proof don't believe that... But the good thing that I bought again Sony Z5 but premium but I learned: noooo water

  • Hello friends, Im in great confusion. I want to buy a phone out of these two options. Please help me. Which is the best phone to buy? Samsung galaxy note 5 or sony xperia z5 premium. Please help me

  • must be the sun.. it causes the glass to melt

  • on z5 premium? I'm not sure why it drains fast (i have a regular z5 so we have identical devices pretty much), maybe you watch a lot of videos? Because z5p upscales any videos and pictures you watch to 4k, and you can bet that 4k drains A LOT of battery.

  • Fingerprint not work after 6 day used.I'm very very upset.

  • i bought z5p on Feb. Camera is the best, crystal clear and sharp. and Hope soon release VR for z5p like samsung gear VR.

  • Actually z5 is the last good phone made by sony. X series are terrible with average camera quality. I dont know what actually happen, probably sony mobile division is currently in financial problem.

  • Dissapointed, went swimming during broad daylight and the screen died, didnt even submerged it in water. Funny part is the customer service said water was found inside the phone.

  • Hi guys, I got this phone 2 weeks ago and I'm finding it hard to charge my phone? Battery life is not bad But the charger doesnt "clip" in when I charge it? are any of you experiencing this?

  • Buy z5 premium

  • what are you saying !!! the fingerprint scanner is the best of the best it didn't fail once with me

  • the earpiece is loud and calls are very good and clear on all applications and voice calls

  • Hi guys I tried putting my Z5 premium in water and the camera's started bluring like theres moist how can I fix this ?

  • How do you use the fingerprint option on xperia z5premium.

  • The phone is awesome but the camera has a hard time on low light pictures, I also updated the software to 32.2.A.0.224 which I feel is a waste of time cz the battery drains like hell. Any who's running the 32.2.A.0.224 version?

  • Very good

  • You've enabled proximity sensor

  • Don't get Z5 You can choose between Z5 compact and Z5 premium If you don't like both of them and you want a Sony phone then go with Z2

  • Only water resistant? ip65 and ip68 means that the device can survive both sinking in water and strong water currents. I know why Sony changed it's view on the waterproofing, it's because of stupid people forgeting to firmly close the ports, or dumping it into sea without watering it after that. Z5 is water resistant yeah, but it's also waterproof actually. I have a Z5 and i always put it under the sink when I return home and wash my hands, or a the nearest restaurant, putting it entirely inside a jar of water to show off to all stupid iphoners what's what. It's been a month and so far it's certainly waterproof, or at least mine is.

  • screen size differs

  • the only difference i know is that the premium has a 4K screen and a wider display

  • Same case happened with me n they are asking for additional 10000.Is this the same with u or they r providing without any additional cost.

  • Guys which one to buy Z5 or Z5 premium? Whats difference? Really confused which one to buy Please help Thank you

  • Guys which to buy Z5 or Z5 premium? Whats the difference? Really confused which one to buy. Thank you

  • I purchased a sony mobiole c4 without completion of six months touch problem started so give it to service centre of sony after 10 days they told me that company has offered for z5 as the touch of c4 is not repair its part are not so they told that company had decided to give me z5 , it is not seal packed ,so should i take it against c4 or i should wait for the screen to be replaced

  • Update : Collected my phone from Service centre and it's working properly under factory reset. The Customer Service recommended to register the mobile in Sony homepage to enjoy another 3 months warranty. This is a plus point worth mentioning.

  • long live sony! 4k screen 23mp camera fingerprint scanner

  • Hi..What about the battery it drains very faster..sony said it will last 2 days but reading reviews they say I doesn't even last a day...About To buy it shall I....

  • this is a very great mobile

  • iPhone 6 Plus it was good for takes Picture, and Video, I cannot say "NO", I had a iphone 6 plus before, but I dont like about iPhone 6 the sunscreen light are bad, not bright enought,,

  • IPhone was better, now android is leading don't forget that.

  • 4k display, hi resolution audio...superior camera ( note iphone 6s is using sony imax camera) whats your argument?

  • i agree with that

  • iPhone is a better device by far

  • I don't encourage you to buy it. I have it and I am not happy. Negatives: the bottom 288 pixels are taken by the arrow bar which makes screen smaller practically. It's hot like hell especially when you charge it or use it in a normal download activity or video shooting. Very bulky and hurts the hand holding it because of sharp angles. Flash is so dim, camera is a disappoint. It's not slow but it's not blazing fast. With the price very near to iPhone 6s plus get the iPhone.or get note5. Screen is fabulous I admit.

  • Yes, it's totally waterproof. No need to worry about that..

  • All phones becomes hot when charging and when heavy usage.

  • First of all you have to compare iphone 6 plus to z5 premium or 6 to z5 because of screen size, secondly ios or Android then you will not be puzzled، good luck.

  • Good comment i agree i have my z5 p since the day it was release and must say it just excellent phone in every day use it delievers and fits my dagly needs like webbrowsing using camera it actually dosnt matter what you use it for it is very good phone and all this newer flagships from 2016 a run for the monney the z5 p is ifen in 2016 some of the best devices you can find on the market

  • 1. Update to Marshmallow 2. Factory reset 3. Wipe cache partition This tips will help you.

  • They are both good phone! It depends on what brand you prefer. I prefer SONY Z5 Premium Dual (Have it for three months already). I need a Dual SIM phone, because I travel a lot and need the Dual SIM functionality...

  • Wash it in cold water. It's water proof.

  • hello,i would to ask,is Z5 premium is better than Iphone6?

  • Why my xperia z5 premium dual getting so hot ? How to resolve this problem ?

  • There is X-Reality for mobile...

  • I'm using Z5 Premium n next week I'm going for vacation in india now it's raining over India... Is dis Z5 waterproof?

  • So much lag when playing simcity buildit, iphone is much better. Wasting my money so far.

  • My 1 or 2 day. It depend how often you use phone. But 1 day at least. My is old 4 mounts.

  • Heat problem, xperia z3 problem still remain, never resolve, such a dissapointment.

  • Z5 Premium isn't waterproof. Its water resistant only. All Z5 series are water resistant. Don't sink your device into water. It may not survive it.

  • Bought Z5 premium on Feb and sent for repair in Jun. The earphone connector is out of order. Charging port is loss and at times, did not charge. My personal opinion, quality is not sturdy enough as compared to Samsung Note series.

  • where the same comments. respond to your question. I've encountering that cases so far.

  • Yeah! :D

  • I just wanna ask about marshmallow update, is it good or not for z5 dual premium ?

  • How is the battery since it has 4k screen?

  • Bro , Trilumions disply s the world superior & number one display, nothing is compared to trilums.....

  • is this device have low sound speakers as the all Z series ? and it's back easy to break as all Z series to ???

  • Bro , Trilumions disply s the world superior & number one display, nothing is compared to trilums.....

  • I think there is something that blocks the front sensors near the camera. Check out.

  • Samsung Note 4 is a better alternstive to Z5 premium because Note 4 has longer battery backup compared to Z5.

  • Samsung is very bad phone. Many problems have it, hanging, lagging, and many more. Sony is very better.

  • Yes.. Go to device connection > usb connectivity > detect usb device...

  • It most certainly does support USB host. So you can plug in flash drives and other host related USB devices, just as long as they don't draw too much power. If that is the case then plug in a powered USB hub.

  • Ask for warranty and take Z5

  • Sony is really great but super underrated and criticized. I am not blind about specs that's why any Sony phone is good for me. The Xperia phones are great but not without any negatives.

  • My z5 premium dual getting so hot and battery drain so quick, what should i do ?

  • Actualy it has an octa core processor

  • mine also does that at times... I have never understood why thou.

  • -How is the phone performance? -Did it get over heating when playing games or using camera? Could someone answer it

  • i had purchased a sony mobiole c4 in six months only touch problem started so give it to service centerr of sony after 7-8 days they called me that company has offered for z5 as the touch of c4 touch had not came from the company so they told that company had decided to give me z5 ,also it is not sealed pack ,so should i take it against c4 or i should wait for the screen to be replaced

  • my phone's screen straightaway goes dark when I accept phone call, can someone explain what I need to do to solve this problem?

  • If they provide super amoled display and octa core proccessor hn it taht will be best!!!

  • yes

  • NOPE

  • Does z5 premium support otg

  • Even the Sony X cell did great in GSM water test and Not even waterproof! Unlike the SONY Z5 Beast Flagship!!

  • Did anything goes wrong after using it in the pool?

  • yes i tried it under water in swimming pool.... and it records fine and clicks beautiful pic under water....love this Phone...best phone available in Makrket

  • Did anyone tried it underwater?

  • Warning warning samsung fanboy detected here,haha:))

  • Although Samsung screens and camera colors looks sharper and lovely but it doesn't matter what you love, it depends on which gives the real colors or close to reality, secondly 4k screen always 806 ppi but if u are watching videos less than this ppi u will see it at its own ppi, your are not expecting that the screen turns off and on pixels according to the vedio that you are watching.

  • best mopile z2 z3

  • Downloaded native 4K videos. Loaded it on both Z3 and Z5 Premium and watched the videos side by side at full brightness and X Reality engine on. The Z5P's screen is definitely sharper and the colours are much better. It is a great achievement by Sony.

  • good luck with heating issues and battery drain when the phone is constantly rendering everything in 4k xD. also dont think there is any apps out there working in 4k. so apart from photos and videos, i dont see any real benefit. Also, when the phone upscales FHD content to match the 4k resolution, it would look better than if you actually viewed it on a FHD screen due to the proximity of the pixels to each other/less gaps.

  • what the heck?A camera phone picture output is better than dslr pictures? you're not using the dslr in proper way.

  • It's a great phone because it's very fast in all aspects but before i suppose to have z2 by comparing this both z5 premium(chrome) is very accelerated in every function but it's display is not brighter and if it over heats it's display brightness automatically decreases which is notgood but it's camera is fantastic but I compared my z5 premium with other phones such as s7 edge, 6s plus, LG g5 comparing with them it's super fast so I love this phone If you want to buy a marshmallow with stupendous performance you must prefer z5 premium it's really fantastic.

  • if u use the auto mode the camera will go to 8mp, u need to turn to manua mode and set to 23mp for good quality picture.

  • it happens with every phone that goes under water, s7 does that too

  • Exactly what happens Screen goes crazy

  • Looking for feedbacks on its touchscreen. Like previous models such as z1, when the phone comes in contact with water, your touch wouldn't be accurate plus the screen will go crazy. Is this issue gonna happen with z5 premium?

  • samsung is a lunch phone

  • I do really think it's down to personal opinion on most things, but I feel your putting down of the s7 compared to the z5p is completely wrong. I myself own both a z5p and s7 edge and the s7 edge is multitudes superior. Even down to the screen which the Sony (should) demolish any other phone. The sony has 4k, sure, but it's on a LCD panel which doesn't match up to a Quad HD super Amoled. The Sony has a 23MP camera, sure, but the pixels are tiny and it's apature is bad because of this, also it can be very blurred when zooming in. The samsung has a 12MP camera but is honestly the best camera I have ever used on a phone, and honestly outshines many dslr cameras I've owned. The Sony phone may be what YOU are looking for, but you will be in the .1%. If anyone is reading this, go buy yourself an s7 edge or s7. Don't waste your money unless the only thing you care about is playing ps4 on your phone. It's incredible how much better in EVERY ASPECT the s7 is.

  • I did scan the same finger two times in the database. And, the result is that when you scan, it's a lot more faster which makes me really like it. ... So, I think maybe you could try and it might increases from 2/5 to 5/5 or 4/5. Hope this would help :)

  • Hi all New purchasers congrats for ur New phone Would you please tell me honestly is the earpiece volume during calls is low or loud? I tried before 2 water proof Sony mobiles and I can barely hear the call I sold One after 2 weeks and the other one I tried it before buying another phone. So how it is the earpiece volume performance of z5 premium?

  • I just purchased one. Till now only overheated once and in fact turned off automatically. Although I have nothing to complain about, I however am still not satisfied with the volume of the hands free speaker. The same problem I had with my Xperia Z. It would be helpful if any one who encountered the same problem can give his advice.

  • Totally wrong, SONY Z5 premium fingerprint is the best in its accuracy and location comparison with others.

  • After extensive research from online reviews and blog sites. I went ahead and purchased an S7 to replace my aging LG G PRO. Biggest let down I've ever made. The quality of a Samsung phone just isn't what it used to be. I was left with going back to Apple or try something new with Sony. So when I got the phone I was amazed by the feel and look of the phone. This phone is beautifully crafted. The phone UI is so plain and simple I just couldn't believe my eyes. It's almost stock Android which I love tinkering with. And the 4K screen is amazing when viewing multimedia. The online reviews are completely wrong about this phone. Just to add, the PSN features and remote camera app is what sold it for me. Being able to play PS4 games on a phone just knocked me off my feet. What shocks me is that I got this for 565 usd. Best phone I've ever bought. Sony did it right on this phone. It has everything I need. If anyone plans on getting this phone, get the chrome version. You'll get tons of complements and comparisons.

  • Good phone overall

  • This phone is great performance wise, camera is fantastic, sound is great. The feel and screen size is perfect!! NOW, the screen is very low light and battery overheats if you use the screen above 60% brightness for more then 15 min. REALLY HOT! Also the fingerprintscanner to unlock.... i love the phone but lose patience with that stupid unlock button. Unlocks 2/5 times.,... they were not ready for this and now we(clients) have pay for it. I wish that button had more work done on it !

  • Z5 premium is best for me.. Good camera with 23mp and high memory.. Best buy

  • I just brought it last month. For me, I really like this phone a lot. I think the quality of photo is good even though the automode is not that good compared to Iphone. But if you know how to use manualmode, i feel that it's better. And, for other performances I didnt play games that much so I think the battery is enough for me to play Line, instragram, website, sometimes youtube and taking photo. And, one last thing is the screen. It is pretty awesome to watch HD video, but if your video doesnt have at least 480p, it can be difficult to watch on this bigger screen with 5.5. Overall, I like this phone with the design. Lol

  • HELLO every body Can any one that have z5 premium . Share me his opinion of z5 ???? i want to buy it ???

  • it's a great phone... and I love it but plZz sony give infrared blaster on the next sony smartphones

  • Oouh i see...i must buy chrome version soon bcoz chrome version is limited edition here.in my country in malaysia retail price at sony store is MYR2,699.00,first launch time a go is MYR3,099.00..today i visit sony store and i hold it and woww look so gorgeus,i feel in love with sony z5 premium chrome

  • Xperia Z5 Premium is the flagship model with almost twice the price of C5 Ultra..So, obviously it will be better of course

  • obviously it has what they say.. what do u think a brand like SONY will fool customers into buying something tht doesnt have what they state ? I wonder what their future would be then

  • Hey bros can you move the apps to sd card in M version?...

  • For sure! I have one too and no regrets whatsoever. And i tried S7, Note 5, HTC M9 and G4 before. Xperia Z5 Premium was the better choice hands down. Snappy, better battery, better UI, better signals (GPS, wifi and GSM), the possibility to move apps do SDcard, the r/w speed in external memory... It's the complete package in a gorgeous look! There's nothing as beautiful as this chrome piece of art!

  • so u have this Xperia and does it have all they say here ?

  • I got one with the exact history. take Chrome. Its better than they say, 2 days guranteed provided it is bought from a SONY showroom, not an outlet

  • This or Samsung S6 edge plus??

  • Hello guys i want to ask which one is better sony xperia c5 ultra or sony xperia z5??

  • Can u hear the call clearly without any compromise is it clear and loud enough I mean the earpiece not turning on loudspeaker

  • Hey guys currently i m using sony xperia z ultra purple colour more than 2 years and i m planning to buy z5 premium...which colour is great between chrome and gold?how about battery life,how many hour screen on time(SOT) on z5 premium??

  • Nope.....no such issues in Z5 Premium... It's speakers are well membraned.And it's with IP68 waterproofing

  • I was wondering. Is the sound loud enough through the mobile ear speaker while on call or not. Is it affected by waterproofing I tried before.acro s and sold it within 2 weeks bcz I.couldn't hear well thru the mobile ear phone. I tried Z1 it was.the same issue. So can any owner of z5 premium let me know?

  • Sony sells this phone like phone with 4K screen but it's not true. It uses 4K resolution only when you plan videos or look images in their program. Phone display works on 1080p resolution. Big minus for Sony.

  • Happy Z5 premium users and satisfied with almost every aspect. But the camera can be improved, esp the front.

  • for fast charging you can buy fast charger,in croatia headphones comes with phone,its plastic but its wont shatter if something hit it,and in fact that isnt lens,its cover over the lens(of coure you probably dont know what is the lens..) z5 stereo speakers,ps4 remonte,much better multimedia apps(album,music,and movies) x-reality engine i dont know now isit double tap to weak and things like smart call on s7,but i konw they isnt on s6 cool camera feature on z5p s7 should be faster but it want be big difference it wont bed,my frend have z5p and is didnt bend i guess you see its bend on channel jerry rigs.. im not sure isit channel called like that,but that test is stupid becouse you want be able to apply same power everytime.. sony ui dosent lag overtime like samsung ui s7 is a bit better phone,but its more expensive now,becouse z5p is realised last year on IFA,and z5 dosent feel like midranger,and you are troll

  • Packed phone. Update was about 1 hour. As smartphone Works finne. But if I call to someone screen tuurns to black - i dont see whom I call, I cant cancel. After2-3 minutes and pressing some buttons I´m able to cancel calling. As Smart computer - 10 points as Phone - 0 points

  • Using Samsung and Sony for last 2 years, 1st one crashed with all data inside, while later one survived through android loli marsh update. My 1st hand experience till the moment. BTW, N70 and E63 still long live in this android age :Peace:

  • its called a paid bad marketers to write bad comments on gsm SONY feeds. Its all over Sony posts. i.e. you do Not see me go to shame posts writing bad comments or experiences on there feeds, why waste my time!! its a shame ... Shame stoops to that level! Haha

  • Phone features is ultimate. I would like to request SONY to provide the feature like SAM SUNG private mode.

  • front camera of sony z5 premium is not at all good

  • Just a reply to this as I'm a Z5P user, the phone itself doesn't bend easy it's actually quite solid. As for your comment about what is in the box - The phone does actually come with a fast charger 100% battery life in 60 minutes and it does in fact come with Sony earphones which you stated it doesn't. This either makes me think you haven't infact purchased the Z5P from an official store (second hand) or the contents in the box must differ in different countries.

  • I used to own 3xSamsung note generation n currently using z5p. No doubt Samsung has the best design, but phone only last u less than 2yrs for its flimsy material used n start lagging overtime. Z5p has such premium solid design, water resistance n excellent friendly finger print sensor.

  • I have this z5 premium its a good phone in terms of battery screen and cam, but when it comes to this metal body it's a total failure this phone is meant not to fall ever, it cant resist any shock this metal border is a total failure

  • I like the z5p, i'm using it And its much better than the M4 aqua,but the flaslight is not that good,its so heavy And when i play on it about a hour its getting very hot

  • Lol, z5p has sharper screen than any other phone out there, i compared it with many 2k phones,,yeah yeah you use samsung galaxy core and just read about it,sorry i cant understand you.

  • Lol im rich enough to own both of them and many more phones,i have z5p and i dont care you have both ,when you call this midranger its quite clear you are sammy fanboy because i call s7e the same thing,so im a correct or you are?!

  • guys listen the z5 premium is last gen phone but non the less it is an spectacular phone.Its battery is remarkable and lasts super long downside is the video calling drains the most juice except that battery life is very good.The camera don't start me on talking about that (awesome camera photos and video best around).Its a very good phone which no one will have a problem with and most importantly wont lag and its not a Samsung lag beast.

  • I have the Z5 Premium it sucks too heavy, bad low light front camera, 4k is a gimmick Sony phones suck. Get a S7 Edge or HTC 10

  • S7 Edge still new so u cannot compare the new with the last year 2015 like that,haha..but Sony have a better material than Samsung actually. Can u imagine why are too long the samsung create the phone with dust proof and water resistant like that?? the Sony already have that since 2013.
