    See other variants reviews Score: 69 / 100

Sony Xperia Z5 Compact is a powerful device released in 2015, equipped with a 4.6-inches display, a great Octa-Core processing unit ticking at 2 GHz, a 23 MP back camera and a 5 mega-pixels front side camera. We will get a better idea about this cellphone's advantages when we get into specific details.

Sony decided to power this cellphone using a high-tech Octa-Core processing unit speeding at 2000 megahertz, bundled in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 MSM8994 system chip with a big 2 GB of RAM. A key advantage of this cellphone is its astonishing 32 GB internal storage memory and an external memory slot, allowing the user to install tons of apps, games, photos and videos without thinking about how much storage capacity is left.

Regarding its construction quality, this phone is mainly made with Glass and Plastic . Sony didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 4.87 ounces device. Though this cellphone is only 5 inches long and 2.56 inches wide, it is able to fit a a 4.6 inches screen. This cellphone has a gorgeous design, with a thickness of just 0.35 inches. Sony is offering this cellphone in color 16 777 216.

The Sony Xperia Z5 Compact features two cameras, a 23 megapixels back facing camera and a 5 megapixels front camera. It is capable of shooting 4K 3840x2160 videos.

Sony packed this phone with a gorgeous 4.6-inches display, and a 720 x 1280 (HD) resolution, which makes all images and videos look perfect.

This phone includes WiFi connectivity (and it can be shared with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE-A) really quick connection and also HSPA+ data connection (a bit slower 4G variation) and the fastest 3G data connection, over HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. The Sony Xperia Z5 Compact uses a Nano SIM card to use GSM services.

This cellphone also includes plenty of cool features such as Fingerprint unlock, Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (enables communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories), GPS (Global Positioning System) and Radio, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

This phone features a 2700 mAh long lasting non-replaceable battery, enough to provide the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact with an incredibly long battery life. An issue to take into consideration is that the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact's battery is not removable so you won't be able to replace it when it starts to lose capacity, even though with this big battery you will probably buy a new cellphone before it happens.

This device is the right choice if you you love taking pictures, will use this device to play lots of games, want it mainly for internet broswing and social networks or will use this phone for work.
