3:10 , to fix that, go into into settings and preferences, --> display, and change image enchantment from off to x-reality.

@harveyquinto22438 жыл бұрын
My Z5 overheats when playing heavy games. But doesn't get hot too much unlike the Z3+/Z4. Performance is good. Multitasking is good. Display is also good. Fingerprint scanner sometimes not accurate especially in cool/cold places or when your finger is wet or have moist on it. I had to wipe it off. Battery is acceptable. Although when WiFi is on, I only get 8 hours using it. But when WiFi is off and only listening to music or texting, I get a day and a half. Camera is awesome. I recommend using it in 8 MP in low light. It is the default setting and the sensor is designed for 23MP. I read it somewhere that it has 'oversampling' feature that makes your pictures to look like it was taken in 23MP even though it was only taken in 8MP. Video stabilization is great. Not a fan of OIS. In very dark places, the sensor struggles making the purple or blue tint visible on the side, especially on the left side. Front facing camera is good in daylight. In low light, it is acceptable but the purple/blue (red or pink) is sometimes visible on the side. The camera does not protrude and the camera lens is made of plastic so if your phone lay flat on the table, the lens can be scratched or damaged. I recommend buying a case. Sony should change it to glass lens like the Samsung so it wouldn't scratch easily. Another thing is Sony never recommend the Xperia Z5 to be submerged completely underwater. They even labeled Xperia Z3 as the 'best waterproof smartphone'. Overall experience, it is great phone. 9/10. The minus one is because of the plastic camera lens. hehehe.

The finger print scanner works perfect for me in both left and right hand. If your having troubles I think you haven't set it up correctly. I use my left middle finger and right thumb. You can store up to 5 finger prints so I have doubled up on these two making sure I cover every angle and hold. Also did my left index finger as well for the last one. It's stupid to do 5 different fingers as you will find out you only really use your right thumb, left index and left middle due to the button placement.

I have had this phone for nearly 2 years now and have no complaints. I have dropped this phone countless times on tiled flooring, wood flooring and even on tarmac! I must say the durability of this phone by far surpasses the durability of Samsung and iPhone, which are phones I have had in the past. Apart from a few scuffs on the side panels, my front screen or back screen has never cracked as opposed to its competitors. The phone does overheat sometimes but its never posed as an issue for me as the phone continues to work fine. The fingerprint sensor is logical, pretty fast and conveniently places for me. overall I am very pleased with this phone

i have the z3, z3+(z4) and the z5. now before you hammer me for being a sony fanboy, i also have owned/used the samsung s5, s6 edge and note 4 as well as the iphone 6 and 6s. i quite prefer the fingerprint scanner on the phone unlike your preference, it might not be as responsive but it makes more logical sense than the iphone or samsung's location. you just have to program it for all possible finger placement which is a chore, but its more seamless. waterproofing has gotten me out of sticky situations which i always had to be extra careful with the other phones. camerawise, yea the z5 is better in good light but hey i dont expect much out of a tiny sensor anyways, it performs better than the even smaller sensors used by the competition, but hey if i really want quality shots i'll use a proper camera. usage wise i tend to not bother to carry a powerbank with me when im using the sony's but i'll carry one in case if im using the rest. somehow the sony phones give me some level of confidence that the other manufacturers don't. the sony might not be the best in terms of handling or camera or battery life, but as a complete package, it really something. And if i need to have grab a phone in almost any situation, i'll definitely pick up the z5 to go about my day, given the choice of the s6 edge or iphone 6s.

Okay the Z3 is awesome but the z5 is a lot more convenient, handling is pretty much the same. The justification for the price increase is the much better and faster camera, the flapless design (USB is now waterproof) and you back not havingl alot less fingerprints. Other than that Z3 and z5 not much significant changes. Honestly fingerprint sensor, I don't really care much about it. If you don't mind a glossy finish, the z4 would be a great option to the Z3 and it's about the same price as the Z3 now

@samsonokoro50368 жыл бұрын
Bro of course it doesn't have a better camera, I have tested several of these phones and the only phone that I can say currently with a better overall still camera performance is the s7 edge and that's cause of its low light performance cause it has the better hardware for closer subjects. But if your taking pictures of landscapes at night or really far objects the s7 edge is weaker. I always advise people to do their own tests and not just listen to any one's opinion. In terms of video, the stabilisation quality of the Sony beats the S7 easily which makes for better video recording. The s7 edge like all Samsung camera phones over saturate colours, this I have seen especially with reds, blues and greens. Very few reviewers talk about this and few when they do make it seem like it's not really an issue. Very few are objective cause they want to satisfy their Samsung and apple craze or love and don't care if they are biased.
@JimmyChem9 жыл бұрын
You missed the point with the button placement. The volume rocker is in the perfect position for watching a video in landscape mode. You can hold the phone in one hand in landscape mode (right hand) and easily adjust the volume up and down with your right index finger. Second, you've obviously not calibrated the fingerprint sensor properly. Mine is calibrated to five different fingers/positions. When calibrating each finger, it even tells you to move it around to generate a variety of positions. I can pick up the phone with either hand now from any angle and the sensor instantly recognizes my prints and unlocks. It is flawless if you set it up properly in the first place, even for lefties.

+BarrelTrollz There are themes and clocks you can change. The Sony UI is pretty minimal android and is great once you get the Sony apps tucked away off the homescreens. I got mine through Bell mobility in Canada - got a glass sheet screen protector put on - best I've ever used. Not sure what case is on it - pretty minimal, clear back, with black edges all around - doesn't hide the phone. I prefer a bigger screen (but not gigantic) so the compact was a bit too small for me. I had a z1 before - this is same size but much improved i.e. speakers, fingerprint sensor, etc. I checked out other Android phones - LGG4, htcm9, etc.- but I still really liked the z5. I've been very happy with it. The glass sheet screen protector and case have kept it in perfect condition for the past 2 months. Honestly, I've never seen a screen protector like this - can't remember the brand - was put on at the store and was guaranteed - you can't even tell there's anything on the screen - keeps the phone looking great.
@spookybaba9 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I agree about the screen at other viewing angles where the screen may fade or wash out colours. My last phone was a Lumia 1020, so the Xperia seems to be a bit of a come down from such a great camera phone and black Glass screen - Which made all the difference giving a supreme colour and deepest black blacks. Overall, it does me. The switch to Android from Windows was all that I wanted to do, given Microsofts apparent lack of interest in it's customers. I would have opted for the Xperia Z5 Premium. But my network provider doesn't stock it. I guess I made the right choice with the regular Z5 because they both have the same processor and I reckon that the 4k screen on the Premium will be a huge demand on such a relatively small - or simply not big enough - procensor. Whereas it gives the standard Z5 seamless interactions. Overall score 8/10.

I am not sure after my Z1 what will my next smart phone, but if new Xperia devices still have the touch-screen issues, i will not go for Xperia. And also camera in Z1 is pretty decent, even below decent, you say Z5's camera is pretty well, i hope this's true. But as you say, Sony's UI is really near to Stock android, i agree with that, UI is clean, no extra irritating features, and if you root the device you can remove Sony apps (Lounge etc.).

Apple gets a lot of forum abuse for only updating design every two years but Sony has been year after year churning the same phone out. That is despite loses every year! I believe Sony make quality phones, my Z Ultra is testament to that, still rocking. The problem is they have nothing new, just following the crowd rather than inspiring it. Putting the fingerprint reader on the side may sound revolutionary but IMO it is better to have two buttons to turn the screen on. Hope it is a success but TBH I cannot see why it will be.

Hey Matthew -- This video is much crisp & sharp.. & also loved your review .. 😃 Anyways .. Sony Xperia Z5 is good phone but there are two major points Sony needs to be improve .. 1) Overpriced -- Sony set a such high price in today's competitive market .. so, obviously we have a lot of alternative options .. like Nexus 6P , Moto X Style , Oneplus 2 , LG G4 , etc with its lower price but equally performance. 2) Heating issue - Again Z5 getting Warm even in moderate usage . This is not just for this Z5 .. I have already noticed on previous Z models as well.
@MatthewMoniz9 жыл бұрын
Nice recap Shrikant ! I agree the overheating has been an issue with some Sony phones especially the Z3+ and I agree it's priced a little high compared to the competition.

ive been using this phone (e6853 version) for about 2 weeks. major apps installed (about 25) and i noticed that it really drains a lot of battery compared to the lg g2. the phone didnt last from 6am to 10pm at all. no way! maybe if you just using it not that often. mine will drain at 5pm... also the top back gets really hot. overall, the phone was below my expectations.

Oh come on, the Auto-focus on the Z5 is much faster than the one on the Galaxy S6. I have checked some other videos, and I know what I am talking about. The overall camera quality of the Z5 is not better than the S6.

I have the sony z5 and also had the samsung s6, lg v 10 & iphone 6s, and i think the best overall phone was the sony z5. I think the finger print is fast and accurate but i am a right hand dude, also the camera is my favorite pictures look awesome the only thing is that it does take time to save pics i think the other phones are faster in that department. also waterproof and excellent built quality, and think the screen is really good and better the iphone 6s but not as bright as the samsung s6 or lg v10 but more than enough and viewing angles are good.

I'm right handed... I think having the volume toggle on the top left side of the phone is the most natural position for the hand. Having them at the bottom right either means you have to strain your thumb to reach them... or you have to move the phone up so your thumb can reach it.... The only bad design of the phone tbh.

I bought my Z5 when the Galaxy S7's were in the market. The reason being this is my second Xperia and as far as being able to pick up mobile calling signal my Z1 and now my Z5 can beat the pants off any other phone. I was also getting one and a half to two days battery life until the Marshmallow update which put me back to one day at best. Doze isn't worth s**t. Hanging out for 6.0.1. Apparently Sony are able to reinvent Stamina.

the z5 for 450$ or the z5c for 400$? I'd love a smaller phone but ppl've told me that a z5c lags somewhat, unlike the z5 on which such a case is rare. is that true? :o
@TechnoGeek2098 жыл бұрын
no the Z5c never lags , but the normal Z5 isn't that big , I mean compared to the Z5p it fits just fine in a pocket and isn't that awkward to use with one hand . Also worth mentionning , the Z5c has only 2gb of RAM and an HD screen whereas the normal Z5 has 3gb of RAM and full HD screen and a slightly bigger battery .
@mazinbashar41408 жыл бұрын
Samy_06 Yeah, I am aware of those specs. I'm fine with the 720p screen and the battery is also fine on the z5c for me. But, does the extra gig of ram on the z5 create a huge difference? :o Actually, I have tiny hands, really tiny. So, I'd love using the z5c over the z5 if the performance is similar to that on the z5, or like, pretty fast.
@TechnoGeek2098 жыл бұрын
+Mazin Bashar Well two gigs of RAM and a super powerful CPU are enough for a smooth experience whatsoever but if you're willing to do a lot of multitasking , lot of apps in the background consume a lot of RAM but it's not that dealbreaker . If you have really tiny Hands then you have to go with the Z5C , actually it scores better than its bigger counterparts in benchmarks like Antutu so yeah I don't think there would be any incidence on its performance , I've owned several devices with 2gb of RAM and they were extremely snappy , sometimes even faster than devices with more RAM .
