Sony Xperia Z5 Specs

After using the phone for almost 2 years, here is my review of it. After around 6 months, the phone started slowing down and by the end of the first year, I had to factory reset it. The phone crashes my computer every time I connect it and it is in the wrong configuration. The phone looses LTE signal where other newer phones such the V30 on the same network won't (unsuprisingly). Software is near stock android with features like double tap to wake/lock but lacks some customisability such as the colour of settings menu etc. Apps crash and hang very often, where Instagram stops working twice every day. The display is excellent (clear, bright and colour accurate) but some bug causes it to have a different tone (lightness) of display occasionally. The camera is average where auto mode is not on par with similar devices from the same era (Note 5) in terms of sharpness and noise. Manual mode is only limited to ISO and white balance, which is very limited. Video recording is excellent, especially the Steadyshot (EIS). The stereo speakers are nice but became softer after Nougat. The equalizer keeps automatically switching for no apparent reason in the background when I scroll past autoplay videos which are muted. Now for the worst part: the battery. My average screen on time is just 3 hours, which is horrid, and thats with just pure web browsing and texting. The phone's standby drain is so much I lose 10% overnight in normal reception areas. The battery also gets very hot (46 degrees celsius) when I use it to do web browsing. It literally means I have to bring a portable charger every time I go out. The charging is still slow even with the Quick Charger I bought from Sony. This means it spoils the overall usability of the phone.

Great phone, awsome camera, oustanding color screen depth. They need to upgrade the antenna when i had my galaxy s5 and in certain areas I would have 2 bars of 4g and with the Z5 i would have "no service". For me coverage is the most important. I used it as a hot with my Galaxy Tab 2 and the Tab 2 works great. Overall great phone i would recomend it.

snappy UI gr8 camera elegant design somehow low loud speaker but still very clear , Fingerprint Scanner is accurate and faster than iphone 6 plus , Extremely solid performer for gaming and web browsing , I recommend this phone to every body
