“Twice a year every year, I review Sony’s new flagship Android smartphone and am left disappointed… it’s yet another near miss from a company that used to be known for knocking things out of the park.”
Reviewer: Daniel Cooper
“Sony’s Xperia Z5 is a mobile photographer’s dream with a breathtaking camera and great display. However, you’re likely to be turned off by the underwhelming battery life.”
Reviewer: Chris Hall
“All things considered and the Sony Xperia Z5 is a step forward over the Xperia Z3+, one that we’d happily recommend to Sony fans looking for an upgrade. But it lacks the panache we’re seeing elsewhere in Android…”
Reviewer: Krystal Lora
“The Sony Xperia Z5 is a great smartphone, but once again is an incremental update from its predecessor – the fingerprint scanner being the biggest new feature.”
Reviewer: James Peckham
“The Xperia Z5 is a huge improvement on the Xperia Z3+ with a new fingerprint sensor and a sexy design, but there are still a few little issues stopping it from getting that perfect score.”
Reviewer: Max Parker
