Sony Xperia Z5 is the flagship solution. This is the locomotive that leads the updated line of devices connected by a single index. Whether Sony has succeeded in creating an uncompromising leader, or a new solution from a well-known company can easily be lost in the ocean of offers from competitors - the answer in the Sony Xperia Z5 review.

Specifications

Important! Despite the absence of caps on the ports, the device managed to retain the basic protection against moisture. Of course, it is impossible to swim with him, but it is quite acceptable to use it in the rain.

Design and management

Appearance Sony Iksperiya Z5 bears the features of last year's flagship. Fans of the brand can easily recognize in the novelty already beloved device. Is that in appearance now dominated by minimalism. In addition, the predefined color of the screen saver matches the color of the case.

And in front and behind the phone covered with tempered glass. The back surface is additionally polished, and it looks quite unusual. There are several colors of execution: gold, gray and black. Pleasantly surprised by the appearance of green in the usual range. Butt "Bumper" is made of metalthat gives the device an additional margin of safety. Even if the smartphone falls, the impact force is distributed evenly. Due to this, the chance that the device will remain whole increases.

Thanks to quality materials, the Sony Xperia Z5 case remains clean and looks neat and tidy. Instead of a scanner on the back cover, which already looks trivial, the Sony designers went on a bold experiment: the fingerprint identification moved to the end face of the gadget. This is convenient, although it does require some habit of use.

Otherwise, the arrangement of the elements is as follows.

1. Below and above the screen speakers are located. Also on the front of the top module is built frontalki.
2. At the top there is a speaker and a headphone jack.
   
3. Charging is located on the bottom.
   
4. On the left, under the single side cap, is the connector for the Nano-sim and memory card. There is a version with two sim cards, which does not differ in value.
   

5. On the right is the power button, which simultaneously performs the function of a fingerprint sensor, a camera launch button and a volume rocker.
   

6. Rear flash and the main photo module.

On a note! “Sony” remains one of the few who continues to equip their smartphones with an “ear” for straps and laces. How this function is important and necessary is up to the user to decide.

The appearance of the phone Sony Xperia Z5 is not satisfactory. This is a well-defined design, strict and recognizable style.The gadget attracts attention and makes you want to take it in hand. One of the most interesting design solutions from Sony.

Screen features

Characteristics of the Sony Xperia Z5 claim that the 5.2-inch display supports FHD. Given the small size, you can safely count on clear image and complete lack of pixelation.

A wide range of settings allows you to customize the color, brightness and appearance of the system. The screen brightness is adjusted in the standard settings, as well as in the proprietary application from Sony. White balance is set manually. Automatic adjustment is unlikely to appeal to a user familiar with this concept. Viewing angles are almost maximum. Fully “light up” the image will not work, at different angles of inclination the image only fades, the colors are slightly distorted.

In addition, the screen of the Sony Xperia Z5 has several useful chips.

1. Looks very interesting the ability to use the device in gloves. It is comfortable and functional. Positive reviews confirm that most users have already managed to appreciate this screen feature.
2. Another useful feature is unlocking the screen by double tapu. Now it is present in several manufacturers, and each claims to its invention. Regarding the model in question, it can be noted that it works without errors and delays.
3. Availability of automatic screen backlight. As soon as the owner takes the Sony Xperia Z5 dual in hand, the backlight turns on. It is necessary to put the device on a flat surface, the backlight immediately goes out.

In general, the screen was very balanced. The matrix has a good resolution, consumes some energy, perfectly conveys colors.

Memory and performance

One of the most important points of the review Sony Xperia Z5 - the performance of the device. The gadget is positioned as a flagship, so the user can count on a high level of multitasking. The 810th Kvallcom offers uncompromising power, although the price will be high.

Important! As a rule, most owners complain about the high temperature at which the device operates. However, it is possible to “warm up” your device only under exceptional conditions (for example, shooting and playing 4K video). When performing everyday tasks, the smartphone is rarely heated.Therefore, it is worth noting that talk about the almost universal "overheating" is slightly exaggerated.

Three gigabytes of RAM is enough for any task. You can run modern games, applications, without fear that they will hang and slow down. But the internal memory (32GB) may not be enough. A modern user, who has become accustomed to taking a lot of pictures and storing all the information on mobile devices, will not have enough stock. However, this problem is easily solved memory expansion with SD-cards. Applications and games are easily installed on the card, it is very convenient, and also helps save space.

Adreno 430 is responsible for processing graphics. This is the most current solution at the time the device is released. In synthetic tests, the graphics chip shows excellent results; in real life, the picture is about the same.

Benchmarks clearly show how developers have managed to step in terms of performance in one year. When you re-run the indicators are somewhat underestimated, but in general the picture is very optimistic.

operating system

Smartphone Sony Xperia Z5 works on Android OS version 5.1.1.This is not the latest version at the time of release of the device. The developer has already made an official statement that whole line Z5 will receive an update to the new, sixth version.

The fifth Android is a new transition system. In comparison with its predecessor (4.4), Lolipop offers the user more freedom, as well as materialdesign that is still relevant. This is exactly the visual solution that Google developers still adhere to.

The system has a number of its own improvements. However, fans of pure Android can be calm. "Sony" did not begin to invent a new shell, limiting themselves to minor cosmetic changes. There are few pre-installed applications the minimum necessary, virtually no advertising. All unnecessary programs are easy to remove without getting root-rights.

The visual design of the desktop remained almost unchanged. This is a cross between the fifth Android and visual concepts and views from Sony. This duet looks very impressive. The system works quickly, without freezing and slowdowns.

Quality of communication and sound

Communication in the Sony Xperia Z5 e6653 is best implemented.Excellent voice reception, without loss and distortion during a call. Sure transfer of Internet traffic, as well as high-speed distribution of the Internet to other gadgets.

Important! The fourth-generation networks work well in the device, although this is not the best effect on the autonomy of the device. It is worth switching in settings for 3G, and you can win a few hours of work.

Wireless protocols, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth do not cause questions, everything connects and works pretty quickly.

The speaker plays music with almost no loss of quality. Nice to know that gadget able to replace a small portable column. The sound in the headphones has been and remains one of the most important advantages of the entire range. Sony puts emphasis on this point. With a branded headset, even the most demanding music lover will be pleased with the sound. The transmission of low frequencies is clean, without wheezing and other artifacts.

Battery and autonomy

The Sony Xperia Z5 e6653 has a 2900 mAh battery installed. The manufacturer claims that with such a margin of autonomy, the device can work up to two days without recharging.

Real figures will be slightly lower, but for a full day of work the user can safely count. Those who prefer not to load their phone with extra services, applications and games will win extra time. But in real use the device could not work for two days even with moderate use. A day and a half is the maximum of its capabilities. If we take into account current trends, the figure is not bad at all.

Camera Specifications

Sony Xperia Z5 dual equipped with two cameras. The same matrix installed in the entire line of devices, premium and compact models. The main photo module has a resolution of 23 megapixels. Of course, the camera is able to create really beautiful pictures. The abundance of settings allows you to shoot in different modes. There are several filters and manual white balance adjustment.

The front camera of 5 megapixels perfectly captures the face in the frame. As a result, the photo module is captured on the object, and the image is less blurred. The viewing angle of the camera allows you to make even a group portrait, without resorting to the services of a selfie stick.

Both cameras turned out to be productive, but there is no “zest” in them. Definitely, this is not the strongest side of the series, but for everyday tasks it is more than enough.

Conclusion

The flagship and the entire line of Z5 claim to be the most balanced smartphones in its class. At the time of release the price of the phone was 49990 rubles. Moreover, for both revisions, with one or two SIM cards. The design and performance of the device remained at a high level, the device is definitely able to give shape to its competitors.
