Althou 4.7 can be achieved, with that extra width.

I'd like to see them fit a 4.8" screen into the same sized body next time. I really don't think it is too unreasonable and that 4.8" is still small enough to be used by anybody comfortably given thin enough bezels.

Heavier and thicker ? Who cares ?! Its good. Bad ? Sony cut spec, 2GB vs 3GB etc. Why is sooo expensive ?! Especially if we compare the prices to Z1C and Z3C when they were released. Is the screen again cracked ? Device isnt overheating ? People say...yes! Battery is not so impressive like before. Z1C had 2300mAh, Z3C 2600 mAh so Z5C should 2900mAh ;) Sony what you try do ?

dd, 07 Oct 2015Snapdragon 810is too powerhungry that is probably why 90+ e... moreIf you're a modder, you can turn off two of the four "big"cores and you will get a 90+ hour rating. Furthermore, if you have programs like greenify that'll reign in all those background processes like Google play services, it'll get even better. Also if you're really after battery, you can turn the big cores off altogether and it should have even better battery life than the Z3C!

No camera can match this range of detail and sharpness in day stills, noise levels are neglectible as to those advantages. turn it to 4:3 ratio and you loose that edge fudginess he mentions in the review, but somehow they always fail to mention that.

Still shots are maby better than before but not as good as note5, there is a lot of noise.
Videos are great but not in low light, note5, G4 even better. And even LGV10 is not yet here with manual shutterspeed video settings. For now note5 wins for clear sky for me.

The camera samples are excellent! plenty of details with great dynamic range and accurate color. They are better than the samples of Galaxy S6 and iphone 6s! Why the reviewer said they are not as good is really strange! If you don't believe me, go compare them by yourself.

Why no 4K Samples with h.265?
This is the first phone in the world to do that !
At least we would like to see the File size difference and Compression Quality !!

with so powerful device, you may as well have power-saver turned always on. So times should be better then. This device should have 2 stages of power-saver.

2700mah with a 720p screen? And this is the result? 11h browsing time and 13h video playback? Not very efficient.
