This should've been the flagship, not a midranger. This is why Sony is failing so hard because they can't get it right and do something so simple as to offer users a choice. Then again, none of the big manufacturers do.

    Z5 looks like XZ's Forest Blue in disguise!

                Why?do Sony never offer more of a screen on there phones,as the Top & Bottom Bezels takes too much space on there phones,What will Sony do when Bezeless phones start to appear,Samsung got the critics for there design of phones,Why?can"t Sony never change the Design of there phones,so more of the phones screen can be used and seen for consumers

                                      hope this will get a sub-28nm SoC (SD625/626, Helio P20, etc)...

                                        For all the trolls out there, this is a mid-range device. Don't expect the specs to be wow.
                                        For a regular user this phone is great and if you wait 2 months, the price will drop a LOT.
                                        Meanwhile Sammy is drowning the market with crappy phones that come in 50 versions..
