Sony Xperia Z5 Premium review: Premium Definition

25 November, 2015
Sony's flagships have always been playing off each other in a nice but, after a certain point, rather repetitive way. When Sony decided to pass on QHD screens, it looked like it had the right reasons to keep up with 1080p for flagship generations on end...

Cheap droid phone (except android one) only receive update until 1 year after the release date. Most of them are never receive any updates at all. You want a prove? Go ask your friends who has cheap samsung phone (e.g. galaxy ace, galaxy chat, etc).

      But, apple deliver security updates faster than all droids (except nexus).
      Droid has many vulnerabilities too, google usually fix those bugs then quickly deliver the updates to nexus devices. but sadly for non-nexus users, they they have to wait longer. even most of them never receive the updates.

      Remember this: "Most of droid users don't use expensive flagship devices". "and they don't use nexus device too". And those kind of users will never ever receive any updates.

                  You dont get the thing about the lens do you?

                  So you re getting a lumia, not that overpriced inferior cr..p of an iphone?
                  Good for you.
                  I, though, would still recommend z5 to anyone as besides the topdog photo quality its video recording is unmatchable by any OIS device.

                            Z5 beaten by its own brand with a Sony NEX. What's more to say??

                            Even an old G4 takes better photos than this "premium" Z5:

                            Stop beating the dead horse. You have already bought an inferior over-priced phone.

Why are we getting such lens "issue" after spending on such a "premium" product?? Any reasons you making here are totally moot. As consumers, we want beautiful photos, regardless of wide lens or not. If such inferior is allowed to be sell on the market, then Sony should really reflect on themselves. BTW, Lumia 950 has wide field of view too. Take that, Xperia user.

                                  Design for Premium User Handset , at least get 5000mah for his phone to make premium user peace of mind for seeking charger.
