Sony Xperia Z5 Review! - They've done it, finally.

[@Dave2D]

I need to bring popcorn for your future videos. Awesome job as usual!

[@millmantso9023]

+Dave Lee I love seeing my favourite tech reviewers recognising other amazing and talented tech youtubers!! Huge fan of yours Dave!! :D

[@rayhananthaaa]

+Millman Tso It's like Justice League of techtubers :))

[@AshTailor]

+Rayhanantha Rasya haha!

[@Dez1zn]

Got the Z5 yesterday - awesome stuff. Camera quality simply stunning - unrivaled

[@KeezyGaming]

+Nerson Munsamy Ordered the green one just now - Can't wait!

[@xtasLOCO]

+Keezy dam kinda regretting sticking with plain o black haha trade ya...jk

[@KeezyGaming]

Tell you what man - I changed it to black! I think it looks more sleek and slim you know black all round - and a bit more professional :)

[@saimanojc]

I've always been a Sony fan boy and all my devices have been a Sony , until recently when I made the switch last year buy man after watching your review I found my love for Sony again and got myself one!! thanks mate!!

[@SlupergamingTechGaming]

Every review is like a movie! Well done Ash

[@ayouthwellspent]

Spending some time going back through your videos. Jesus, this is how reviews ought to be done. Killer job!

[@SuperSaf]

Did I watch a review or a movie? Lol, awesome stuff as always

[@AshTailor]

+SuperSaf TV Neither, just me running around aimlessly, lol. Thanks man. Really glad you came over to watch.

[@jbntv2778]

Almost 8 years, where's ur old sony phones?

[@denzelgarcia]

This is the future of tech reviews. I see the next big tech youtubers in you bro. I really do..

[@AshTailor]

Denzel, thanks man. I'm just hoping I can make the next video before thinking too big. I would hope to move onto more important content soon. Here's to hoping :)

[@machsta14]

This is by far the best style of review I have come across. I wouldn't be surprised if your channel blows up! Excellent quality

[@andreanelvira]

Wow first see amazing review of sony, well done bro I subcribe now and i hope u make more vid bro....

[@AshTailor]

Hey Andrean. Thanks so much man. In glad you stumbled onto me. :)

[@F4Y541]

Ash Tailor That video was.... Well done!!! M8 u were fantastic, u knew how u wanted the video to be like, who the audience were, and u also knew how u wanted the audience to feel, when watching the video. I r8 m8, u did gr8. The Z5 is also a great phone, however I'm just thinking if I should get it or not; seeing as though there are many other phones in the market, would it still be worth it? Please make a review of some sort, only if u want, and check out if the Z5 has gone outdated or not ( in comparison to other phones)

[@QuantumNetwork]

What a throwback, this review single handedly convinced me to buy a z5 back in the day, was obsessed, had an s10 after and then ended up with the iphone 13 pro cause i longed for that similar blocky and glossy design

[@niklasforslund7464]

Did you have to do SUCH an amazing review?! I had after weeks of going back and forth between different phones set my mind on a 6P but now I'm back to square one! C'MON!

[@AshTailor]

+Niklas Forslund Hey Niklas! Thanks for the awesome words man. Trust me, the 6P is also a fantastic phone. I'd go for that purely due to the fact that it has stock android and is just so fast. Nothing touches that. In my opinion, this has better features for me. What's important for you? :)

[@niklasforslund7464]

+Ash Tailor (ashthought) Hey you deserve the words! Yea I really like stock android. But that IP 68 tho ;) How are the speakers on the Z5 compared to the 6P? Loved the BoomSound on my One M7 and can't really go back to anything less now! ;) Thanks for your reply btw, your vids are amazing!

[@domingosvarelamarreiros7490]

This is the kinda thing that irritates me. A tech channel like this deserves more subs that any other tech channel. Awesome video! All of your videos I saw in Android Authority were the best and finally found your channel. This is by far my favorite KZbin channel, period. Biggest fan here, really. Cheers

[@AshTailor]

Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for finding and uber thanks for the awesome comment. Its difficult but im going to try and make something of it. :)

[@jacobchartrand6314]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, you have to love that editing style. It's Beautiful.

[@AshTailor]

Jacob, thanks for taking the time to check it out buddy. So glad you enjoy the style :)

[@andreicostan7528]

Really good intro. The cinematic is not something you usually find in a review video, but I appreciate the extra work you dedicated.

[@AshTailor]

+Costan Andrei Thanks Costan. So many others do such a fantastic job. I need to bring my own spin on it so im glad that you notice and appreciate it!

[@Thefastlane425]

Ash your a beast. I Just know that intro was a ton of work setting up that tripod in 20 different places in that opening scene. Loved it man. Can't wait to see Dom copy it next week!

[@AlainSaintSurin]

+Thefastlane425 Looool. Why you had to do that man? :P

[@AshTailor]

Hey man! Haha - You come out with the most funniest stuff but yeah, it did take a while and got some good exercise in despite having that massively annoying cold. Thanks for checking it out man

[@MatthewMoniz]

Really nicely done! I would have had to use my puffer by the time I got to the second level in the staircase. Third level I'd be waiting for the EMT. Love the new locations your using!!

[@louis.d31]

Finally a tech reviewer who digs the Xperia line! in my opinion they are the best on the market. they just don't get promoted as much as other devices.. And also, great video as always! it seems you really work hard on these.

[@BeginnersTech]

Awesome as always man so much time spent crazy

[@AshTailor]

+BeginnersTech Thanks bro. You're right. I was tired after that intro. You should see how many takes it took. haha.

[@arkimde]

best z5 review I've seen. other reviews usually slate this awesome phone, hence why it doesn't sell that much. most underrated smartphone to date..

[@AshTailor]

Thanks so much man :) I'm glad you took the time to check it out!

[@BradSnyder1]

The ideas you come up with for each video is truly amazing! It's really a work of art.

[@canoopsy]

Absolutely excellent video Ash! Keep up the great work as always.

[@JO9OH4Tech]

It's not just the visuals that make your videos great. it's the actual review and information you pack in that help take your stuff to the next level. Your top notch at both and that's why your are at the top of the KZbin tech review game 😄. Did I mentioned I loved the video? Great job Ash as usual.

[@AshTailor]

Hey bro. My videos wouldn't be videos without a comment from you. Hope the giveaway is going well :) Thanks so much man. The recent videos have been more reviews than anything else so im glad to get back on communicating verbally :) Still a long way left but glad to have guys like you on the journey!

[@JO9OH4Tech]

+Ash Tailor (ashthought) Ha yeah it's going pretty well actually. Glad to have you back with some reviews. I always learn a thing or two about what I can do better with my videos.

[@szodraigergo4008]

I think it's more beautifull than galaxy s7!!

[@MrWalker1000]

+Szodrai Gergő it always has been. Other oems are copying sony.

[@F4Y541]

MrWalker1000 I'm just wondering though, which one shall I buy?

[@jamescarlyle2630]

New to the channel and the content is unreal. Absolutely amazing job bro, a video a week at this quality is more than enough!!!

[@AshTailor]

Thanks so much man. it is proving difficult to do this sorta stuff on a weekly basis with a full time job but I'm trying! Got something cool coming this week :D

[@thatsdanzatastic]

seriously ash, how the hell does every video better than the last, a Sony phone wasn't even on my mind but damn...got my attention, keep it up sir

[@jacobchartrand6314]

+thatsdanzatastic Ya I know, I just got a new phone and now he is making me reconsider.

[@AshTailor]

Haha. Yeah it's a good phone, I won't lie they've finally made a compelling option with only the most minute of issues but even that is down to personal preference :)

[@PeceRocha]

One of the best reviews i've ever seen, again, how Ash?

[@AGNTV]

Super job on this one Ash. I like that you talked about the Sony specific audio features (and the shadows for the battery life screen shots.)

[@AshTailor]

Hey buddy! Thanks man. Glad you picked up on those. Thought they would help give some depth :) and yes, I'm by no means an expert but audio is important for a lot of us!

[@JustinIacobellis]

Every time I think it can't get better, you prove me wrong, Ash! Keep it up, dude.

[@patbell1039]

I got myself the Z5 compact this week and I have to say, it's an amazing phone. Fits perfectly in my hand and is quite fast. In low light situations the camera struggles a bit but in normal daylight the camera gives very sharp and vibrant shots. Battery life is great. Gets me easy through a day and a half.

[@kihunipunk]

Great review, Ash. Nice to see someone who appreciates Sony's design. My dream phone's the Z5 Compact. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@ShuvroMojumder]

this is the best review of the Z5. though already been a Z5 developer and with my deodexed rom. cool man. keep it up

[@AshTailor]

+Shuvro Mojumder (Nero White) Thanks so much man :) My Z5 Premium video will be up in a few days :)

[@ShuvroMojumder]

+Ash Tailor (ashthought) waiting for that. 😉

[@DrKha92]

+Ash Tailor (ashthought) can't wait, great review and this is the best review of the Z5, can't wait to see your review about the Z5 premium, keep it up

[@DrKha92]

+Ash Tailor (ashthought) lol actually you have been uploaded the review already, really nice work man , thank you

[@ShuvroMojumder]

+Khalid Al-Asmy thank god u found 😂

[@Dltreviews]

Ash you've done it again man. All of your videos scream high quality and I love watching them. The new location looked pretty awesome and keep up the great work!!!

[@AshTailor]

Hey buddy! Thanks for the awesome words of encouragement man! Yeah, I'm trying to find some other places to try and film, just to give and experiment with something different.

[@berezker]

All in all this video is just amazing. The editing and filming and everything

[@keepingtime]

What a brilliantly produced review video. It's reviews like this that make me pretty obsessed with a product but hopefully with just the right amount of balanced opinions. Loved how you cut to lots of great product usage scenes in. Subscribed!

[@AshTailor]

Thank you for the amazing comment. I'm definitely trying to keep this up :)

[@RifffRafff]

I'm watching old reviews from Ash, not because I'm interested in the phones but because his filming style is such a pleasure to watch.

[@AshTailor]

:D Hopefully this means you like my more recent videos!

[@slduk88]

Always love your videos Ash. Was like the beginning of an independent feature film!

[@victuringan1429]

Finally! A very honest and unbiased review! No regrets subscribing on this channel.

[@alia31382]

Wow, this is the first video i watched from you and you are better than the best reviewers out there! You should have millions of subscribers! Awesome job.

[@etoi_]

You have an amazing personality that just makes me want to binge all your videos :D Great job and keep up the sick editing.

[@frederickclemente6349]

best review for the z5 coz many reviewer are kinda have a hate on xperia devices and making an issue about it but all i know is z5 is the best so far . I enjoyed it very much :)

[@AshTailor]

+Fred erick Hey Fred :) Thank you so much! There is a lot to love about this phone, sure there are a few quirks but overall, it really is awesome.

[@frederickclemente6349]

yah and im really impress how sony didnt change z5 design very much from the past xperia phones and many people is mad about it but i think being unique in some ways that make the users proud of his/her owned product specially smartphones because now a days phone are being look a like, you know what i mean hahaha originality wins for me :)

[@TheOne18263]

Oh my God what an awesome video! loved it :) great reviewer as well. I also liked all the situations in which the phone was shown in and I was so so happy to actually see the FM RADIO in action!! Thank you and continue the great work!

[@dannywinget]

Dude how do you do it? Ha. You are a genius.

[@AshTailor]

Nothing compared to you man. One day...one day I might be lucky enough.

[@KevinRiazi]

Beautiful shots man! Keep up the great work.

[@AshTailor]

Thanks buddy. Been meaning to catch up! Must talk soon!

[@voltaire2001]

Excellent review.I just bought this one in this colorway.Can't wait.I have had 5 Z3 plus because I like them so much.Time for this one.

[@kiingboy]

Those phone snapshots are stunning and it's nice that you mentioned the enhanced audio aspects as well cause that feature gets left out by reviewers quite often

[@AshTailor]

+kingboy Well I'm by no means an expert but I do take notice cos, well, if you look at it - most of us use our phones to listen to music. So, why not? Thanks for the awesome comment man! Really appreciate it.

[@justasj7068]

You put in so much work in these videos you deserve so much more subs man

[@AshTailor]

+Justas Hope Thanks Justas (cool name man). Im not complaining as I have great commenters on my videos (apart from those that thumbs down, lol). I will never say no to more tho - will make me able to do more stuff!

[@Curucuncucus]

Your channel is a whole new level of tech reviews.

[@AshTailor]

Hey Edgar, glad to see you around buddy. That's more important than anything!

[@mathewmjohn7322]

Best review of Z5 seen so far. Awesome!!

[@samuelbaker5313]

Wow this is such a fantastic review! So clean, crisp, professional and most importantly informative! Keep it up bro :)

[@matiasacosta5121]

As always, one of the only original tech reviewers out there, keep it up man. And as a xperia z5 owner, I agree on everything you said, amazing work from sony. Cheers mate

[@oberonb-6129]

subscribed! I love your review it's fantastic! I'm also a Z5P user and I gotta say Sony really makes good phones since the Z's debut last 2013 but man why does many people hate Sony so much they're menu's unparalleled and it doesn't lag at all.

[@ajbglolz13]

You just make videos feel alive, another great work man

[@rajatmukherjee158]

Here is a video from 2015 and watched in 2017 and still love it.

[@a.krawion1872]

Your reviews are breathtaking visually. Keep it up!

[@gvzh8]

Wow! High production values! I have to take AA's videos with more and more salt these days. Very pleased that you have your own channel now! Fantastic review. Subbed

[@rasengan771]

how does it feel to be the best reviewer in the hole internet?

[@ColinMoriarty311]

AMAZING Video once again. I've yet to find a flaw with the cinematography. Your channel is going to blow up I know it.

[@richardanthony72]

Wow an honest review, nice work. I've been a samsung user since the S3. I'm currently using an s5 mini as I prefer smaller sized phones. However I'm currently looking at an upgrade and your review has really got me considering the Z5. Like you I want good audio output as I listen to a lot of music and I also want enough RAM to prevent the phone from glitching and freezing, something my s5 mini is prone to doing. Man you got me thinking........

[@AshTailor]

+Richard Downes Well dude, the good thing is that if you buy any relatively good phone you'll get the performance but yeah, audio is something that is still not given enough attention. Funniky enough, the lg g5 looks interesting for that perspective. Might be worth trying it out before committing to buy a big device :)

[@muktasarawar]

Presentation is Excellent. Now I am thinking to buy this phone :-)

[@AshTailor]

Thank you :) It's a good phone. You won't be disappointed :)

[@tonypowell250]

+Ash Tailor (ashthought) So what about the misaligned camera lense issue causing blurred image on left hand side of photos?

[@SuperiorityQomplex]

+Tony Powell I've got the Xperia Z5 Premium which has the same camera but I don't see this issue at all.

[@tonypowell250]

SerialQiller many thanks for your help...greatly appreciated. Would you say the Z5 premium camera is better than Z5 or Z5C and if so why? Also I know this is a lot to ask but would you say the camera is better than LG V10 as that is the phone I'm thinking about buying simply for the camera but must admit I hate the size of it.

[@tonypowell250]

Must admit looking at the specs of the Sony Experia Z5 all that glass front and back looks like an accident waiting to happen :-(

[@thorbjrnnielsen4324]

Crispier than crisps! Awesome review, awesome cinematography!

[@sauravchanda9037]

I really like this channel specially those creative way to start them.....kindaa stands out from the rest of the crowd

[@exploregadgets]

wow, your videos are awesome ! Just came through your channel. :)

[@AshTailor]

Thanks so much buddy. Don't be a stranger. I'll try and keep good stuff coming along :)

[@AshTailor]

Thanks so much man. Glad you found it :)

[@EIKOFILMS]

It is nice to watch a phone reviewer with a graphic design sense.

[@robert2013764]

Excellent review! 👏 I've had this phone for 2 months and I really love it. 😍

[@GustawK]

Very well made. A true inspiration to young tech youtubers like me.

[@AshTailor]

Hey man. Nice to meet you. Glad you liked it and its an incredible honour for it to be any sort of inspiration :)

[@bendickson7546]

I absolutely love your videos, you just know how to review these devices excellently with great cinematography, I agree with everyone here that you should have more subscribers. Thanks for the awesome work!

[@AshTailor]

+Jedi Master Hey Jedi Master (never thought i'd be saying that genuinely), thanks for the comments man. I'm trying so im glad there are a number of you that are realising it and well, having fun watching it. I'm only doing it fo' fun! and no, thank you for watching! :D

[@tupacole]

Best tech review I've seen in a long time.

[@Shadhinota_2.0]

Well, that review was... passionate. Nice job!

[@mhajas725]

Loved the intro really thinking out of the box, good review on that Sony I wish that screen was bigger I kind of like that phone, thanks for the video ☺

[@galmby]

Ash man you're a legend! Should have more views! Awesome vid man.

[@Nextthinkerz]

Ohh man! where was i this very time!! Discovered your channel...ssrly impressed, wicked videos!

[@KingJKickz]

Well i guess as soon as everyone on android authority watches the video and comes and watches a few of these on your channel, your subs will rise tremendously... I love this phone, it is so gorgeous to look at. It feels grown-up

[@AshTailor]

It really is an awesome phone. So glad they've finally got a good all rounder. Thanks dude. I appreciate the kind words. I hope so, that'd be awesome! Haha

[@KingJKickz]

Ash Tailor Production Level over 9000 so I'm sure you will. You and #MKBHD should do a video. Yours are on par. They have the production quality of his with the great info that Josh gives.

[@vihrenkostadino]

Production quality is one par with the best....Props,man

[@AshTailor]

Thanks so much buddy. Really appreciate you taking the time to check it out!

[@steffenmatter8906]

Thanks man you Are the First one who did a good Review about the z5

[@AshTailor]

+Steffen Matter No worries at all, thank you for watching and commenting :D

[@dianaanngallardo2230]

Love the intro! Feels like a movie... ♥

[@AshTailor]

Hey Diana! Thanks for taking the time to check it out. I'm stoked you liked it :)

[@jamayrian]

wauw an honest Sony phone review those are rare! I just subscribed senior keep it up

[@AshTailor]

Hey man, thank you for checking it out and also subbing :D

[@MrWalker1000]

+Ash Tailor (ashthought) oh you did a review on the z3 on android authority. Really like your style.

[@ZachAnderson]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@Tech4YourNeeds]

Amazing! Every time I watch videos is like I'm watch a movie. Rating department you get "Two Thumbs Up!

[@AshTailor]

Hey Luis, how you doing buddy? Thanks for the kind words man. If only you could give two thumbs up! Haha. Glad to give a little back :)

[@Tech4YourNeeds]

I'm doing good just working on an EPIC video for my channel inspired by you. With a touch of my flavor & twist surprise. Hopefully have done by Wednesday.

[@AshTailor]

Awesome man! Hit me up with a link when it's out! :D

[@Tech4YourNeeds]

Ash Tailor I will do

[@AshTailor]

***** Thanks so much man :)

[@daviddaaannggg]

you deserve WAAAAAAY more subscribers

[@M461Cfs]

best video quality. just love to watch your content

[@GregDevelopment]

I dont know how you do this every time... Unreal man

[@mshahtan]

I came here because of Mkbhd and I'm super glad I did. Good stuff man! am I missing something? did you have another Channel or do you have like 16 videos? absolutely love the presentation, the cinematography as a whole. you should do reviews for all the flagships out there. Really good stuff bro.

[@AshTailor]

+Shahrukh Tanweer Hey buddy. Thanks so much for popping over. Did Marques share or something? I should thank him :) This is my only channel and im hopefully working towards getting more devices and better ones too but as im still quite small its hard. Annoying when the ambition is there though. Really really appreciate the awesome comment!

[@mshahtan]

I'll be sure to share the channel. Marques had commented on the tweet for the VR review, i clicked on it anyway. I'm a Doctor, professionally but i do photography and im an absolute gearhead. The crisp yet warm tones plus the chilled out jazzy feel of the whole thing really resonated with me. I was pretty much vicariously living through you! the outdoor thing for the videos really give them an edge. Well done again, mate. Goodluck and keep at it, you're def. gonna blow up soon!

[@shinyskuntank1749]

Ash you always make really good tech vids, keep on the good work

[@macmomazz]

Loved every minute of it, finally something different. liked the way you didn't just sit there like most other reviewers. Keep up the good work. Got a quick question, I have the Z3+, do you think its worth it for the upgrade.

[@AshTailor]

Question - Do you like your Z3+? If you do like the additions that Sony put in then you'll love this. The major upgrade is the fingerprint sensor and camera. A bigger upgrade would be the premium if the size suits you. There's definitely a lot more this time around to justify the upgrade. :)

[@macmomazz]

Yes, I love it, I was looking at the premium, only thing I wish they would of done is throw in wireless charging. I've been seeing a lot of "fake" or useless 4k implementation videos. Only downside. Thanks for actually responding. That's awesome you really read the comments. Keep up the great vids, I know I'll keep watching.

[@AshTailor]

Thanks man. Really does mean a lot. The 4k display isn't useless, its just awkwardly placed being in a phone. There are some great uses for such a panel besides just viewing content, which if I can get my hands on it, would like to talk about.

[@smayn2534]

Nice review man! Love your style! Keep making more vids

[@OsamaAhmed-ov6om]

your video compilation is so pleasing. Subscribed. good effort mate. 👍

[@LeeBennett007]

I just love your reviews videos Ash. Sublime as usual! Please tell me that this is your daily phone, it has to be after that review?

[@platinum_tears]

How does he only have 13k subs? The quality is astonishing!

[@tripleblast003]

+Budder Platypus (hlex) now it's 34k :)

[@AshTailor]

+tripleblast003 Crazy, right. Managed to get two popular videos out which really helped. Hopefully it'll stay :)

[@75smit]

Everything you review is amazing you got that thing that make people watch entire video & kill that like button g8 job keep going

[@Muamarz]

Wow .. Just wow. You smashed it ash. Amazing video

[@sq9779]

[@AshTailor]

Hey man. Thanks for checking it out. Glad it helped in some way :) If there's anything else I can help with, give me a shout!

[@saturn3569]

U have the best editing skills man! :) Your video style such amazing!!44!!

[@AchHadda]

amazing review but what the intro is all about ? and was it filmed with the z5 ? xD

[@vusalganboyzada9852]

I aint think so

[@AchHadda]

Idk if he did it would be awesome

[@vusalganboyzada9852]

but actually the z5 camera is great..a video by z5 + a little editing = a great movie

[@AchHadda]

Yup cause if he did I would be proud of my choice of buying it

[@healthystrongmuslim]

the intro has the PlayStation symbols ❌🔺⬛️⭕️hidden in plain sight

[@harrybro2001]

the coolest video production of youtube among tech heads.

[@EphraimKunorishi]

Very nice review. Lots of work put in! :D keep it up!

[@petarnikolov4764]

The best review of Z5 in youtube. But guys, do you also get only 3.5 hours screen on time?

[@sarahwilliams3885]

[@jon4tina]

Very Tiff Needell Top Gear like review. A bit bias based on your obvious love of sony products, but a very indepth. Obviously put a lot of work in to it well done, I'll subscribe.
