using this phone for about 3 weeks and i found that the screen backlit led on the top and right of the screen is noticeably bright while showing white or light colour contents and also the grid patterns on the touch panel is so annoying while using the phone under strong light

I said it before, the whole 810 bad reputation is based on true facts but, Z5 series really don't overheat. They get warm yes, and a lot but nowhere near an overheating level.
Think it like a good little heater for your hands during winter, just start toying with the camera and within 3mins the phone will be warm.
Call me paranoid, but the heat is welcome to me if it's at reasonable levels, and it is. Without underclocking the SOC!

AnonD-442781, 26 Nov 2015Wait, so is vr not in 4k? That's pretty much the only reaso... moreEven if the VR apps only display at 1080p, the screen itself will reduce the pixellated effect. But only the resolution of the software is still 1080p which means a single pixel of software output will be rendered as roughly 4 smaller physical pixel with this display.

Wait, so is vr not in 4k? That's pretty much the only reason you should have 4k really.

Please GSMArena, please stop this stupid new type of review system hiding everything and making us click what we want to see leaving everything else hidden. Its utter non-sense and total crap. Moreover after click on Click to reveal, it doesn't reveal all the content properly.
Please don't lower your standards by coming out with such useless idea of this type of review system. The earlier review system was way much better.
I hope you are listening to your beloved users like me who don't want you to go lower standards for anything.

Impressive but no matter how fan you are of Sony, you have to think hard, is it any better iver a Samsung S6 Edge+? Is the 200€ difference worth over the Samsung?
Many Sony fans will probably jump over my comment and say how silly I am not to say yes. i like Sony even when it was Sony-Ericsson, which in humble opinion was a lot better than nowadays. The problem is that after the launch of the first Z series, and the novelty of the water resistance feature, none of the following models appart from the excelent design inovate that much to stand over the competition....
Many also will think a lot before choosing this phone because the Iphone...
I sincerely hope this phone meets the high expectations that Sony expects otherwise Sony will be the next HTC....

And here comes the bad news:Crapdragon 810 still overheats and takes huge hit on performanses.It seems that this SoC is so badly flawed,that there is no way around it.Every 2015 flagship that used it had problems with it,and they were some pretty nice smartphones to begin with.So the race to 64bit SoC will be payed very dearly by some manufacturers like HTC&Sony who happens to trust Qualcomm to much.Even medium phones with SD615 had a lot of problems this year....that happens when you rellyed on just one company without plan B.

If you're just going to rant or complain, then don't forget that we have a lot of choices available and we have the freedom to choose. There's no point in dropping irrelevant comments, esp. if you don't like it even fr. the very first it was launched.

All these reviewers make their assertions from their personal experience and nothing more. The only credible and fore most authority is dxo mark, they are the world's leading professional camera rating body and they state categorically that the Z5 has the best mobile camera in the industry. Gsmarena and all the various sites only render opinion, none of what they claim is recognized and can be quoted in the industry or by professionals as standard.
