Moore Welsch, 17 Sep 2015I have doubt with processor. Isn't Mediatek = mediocre ?obviously the engineers at sony know better than to generalize processors based on their brand.

Hmm.. I'm a sane person, still bought Z3+ and so far happy with it especially after the latest. 251 update. Is it really necessary to mock people who bought Z3+?

"The M5 is still plagued by the typical for Sony non-even edge-to-edge sharpness"
This reviewer needs to know the basic of science and a little bit of photography would help.
You cannot and will never get a perfect sharpness across a photo. Does he/she reviewer know that a camera glass is round, is not 100% flat, so the image project on to a sensor will be sharp in the middle of the frame, but never around the corner edges. Just like a human's eyes.

Ok guys, so... Check your key test findings. You've put "M4 aqua" instead of M5, and "loudspeaker //todo". So yeah, that.
Now regarding the phone, upon reading the introduction i found myself thinking " well, might as well get this one instead pf the z3 compact" (because of the screen that is, and as long as all the other stuff worked properly). But no stereo speakers, no battery test, benchmarks that are as good as nothing until you guys get your hands on the final software... I'm sticking with the Z3 compact.
I agree, this is closer to beta testing. Perhaps you should have waited a bit longer, but as long as you update the review in the battery and performance pages it's still nice.
Also, i dont see anything wrong with the sample pictures... I mean yes, the corners look soft as f*ck, but otherwise the pics look amazing

I honestly want to be fair, and I think overall this is a very capable phone. The photos look really nice with tons of details and polished overall output. I don't see reasons why somebody should do bad-mouthing to it.
Give credit where credit is due.

Gsmarena that's not reviewing, that's beta testing that you've done over here. I know you wanna be the 1st, but with a non-final firmware the only thing you can be objective about is the design and built quality, nothing else.

Sony as ever, don't have the best post-processing in their photos... Despite a new sensor, they still manage to make it look mediocre. And its not even looking good for the battery life.

I certainly hope so, otherwise it's going to be hard to sell compared to redmi note 2. Sure, you get more megapixels and the IP rating, but is it worth paying double for that, especially when the performance is basically crippled?
Btw, GSMArena has benchmark results for redmi note 2 but no review? At least I wasn't able to find any. Would be an interesting comparison.
