Sony Xperia Z5 Review

    See other variants reviews Score: 77.6 / 100

Sony Xperia Z5 is a totally amazing Android device released in 2015, packing a quite big 5.2" multi touch capacitive screen, an extremely powerful Octa-Core processing unit ticking at 2 GHz, and two cameras, a 23 MP back facing camera and a 5 megapixels front-facing camera.

Sony sells the Sony Xperia Z5 in a nice range of color variations, black, green, white and gold. The Sony Xperia Z5 feels much lighter than what one would think about a device like this. Even though this device just has 5.75 inches long, it manages to hold a 5.2" screen. This phone is very thin and good-looking, with a thickness of just 0.29". The Sony Xperia Z5 design uses Glass and Metal.

This phone has a beautiful 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) 5.2-inches screen, providing this device with a very detailed image quality. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

Sony equipped this phone with a high performance Octa-Core processing unit clocking at 2000 MHz, bundled in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 MSM8994 system chip with a big 3 GB RAM memory. Collaborating with graphic intensive applications, it also uses a 450 megahertz Adreno 430 GPU. The Sony Xperia Z5 has a 32 GB impressive internal memory and an SD card slot, more than enough to install lots of applications, games, songs, photos and videos without thinking about how much storage is left.

This device counts with WiFi connectivity (which can be provided to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE-A really quick connection and also HSPA+ connection type (which is a slower 4G variation) and the fastest 3G connectivity, using HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. The Sony Xperia Z5 has 2 Nano SIM cards so it's able to work with 2 different phone lines in the same device.

This cellphone has two cameras, a 23 MP back facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front camera. this phone's back facing camera has an aperture of F1.8 so it can shoot impressive photographs even in poor lighting conditions. It can also capture videos in 4K 3840x2160 at 30 fps, and slow-motion videos in (HD) (1280x720) up to 60 fps (2 times slower than regular videos). This camera also includes lots of amazing features: flash, fast burst mode, auto-focus, digital image stabilization, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting and geo tagging.

This phone uses a huge 2900 mAh Li-Ion non-removable battery providing this device a great battery life. Sony afirms this device has a 13.2 hs talk time and a 520 hs stand by time. An issue to evaluate is that this phone's battery is non-replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins to lose its charge, although with this big battery you will probably discard this phone before that happens.

This phone also comes with a handful of cool features like NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth and GPS Navigation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

The Sony Xperia Z5 is priced around $ 409, which is not so cheap for comparing with similar phones. The Sony Xperia Z5 is probably very appropiate for you no matter if you want a gamer cellphone, are looking for a social cellphone, need this phone for work or are a photography fan.
