The only advantage the 5 has over the XZ3 is a better CPU and two extra cameras, and it costs 850€ (at least), the XZ3 has 960fps slow-motion, wireless charging, both speakers are front facing and it costs 500€, it's a better buy in my opinion.

Rdmkr, 05 Sep 2019Sorry but you can't just ignore the whole height dimension ... moreand as a reminder, a 6" 16:9 phone has a 14% greater screen area than a 6.1" 21:9 phone, although scaling issues make the difference "feel" even bigger imo.

Marko97sx, 05 Sep 2019Too small? Weren't you people crying for a compact version?It's too small and too big at the same time with their ridiculous, unbalanced aspect ratio.

sohail shafayat, 05 Sep 2019This phone is narrower than a 16:9 5" phone, approximately ... moreYes, and that is how small you can expect UI elements, your keyboard and videos in portrait mode to be scaled. The width of the screen determines that. I really don't understand how narrow phones became a thing. 16:9 for me.

Nope, Sony lover here, but only untill I got samsung and saw what a good camera is (still hating samsung for different reasons, but camera ain't one)..
So according to you - Sony has the best camera but is a victim of conspiracy theory from dxomark and similar sites ? :D

Fairly promising flagship in the compact size everyone wanted. (To an extent.) Great, colour accurate panel with deep blacks, the S855 SoC in tow with a generous 6 GB of RAM. The small battery was to be expected for this form factor, and it's perfectly fine for most people. It's going to get the most out of its 3140 mAH cell with Sony's excellent battery management software. Triple camera system seems to be the same as the tall Xperia 1, so we can expect a good all-rounder.

Marko97sx, 05 Sep 2019Too small? Weren't you people crying for a compact version?nice width but 21:9 aspect ratio is crazy and useless innovation. youtube videos are mostly 16:9.
how about movies? well, who still watch long movie in phone now. most people cast it to tv or use smart tv's apps.

I think there is a fan base for Xperia Compact phones for those persons who don't spend much time on their phones. If someone need sth. like iPhone XS but don't like IOS or need android, this Xperia 5 could be a work of art in your pocket.

FHD+ resolution & 3140 mah wont be problematic beside sony's software optimisation much much better . And yes its phone not phablet . Ergonomically its best user friendly not bulky .
