Tann Hauser, 21 Sep 2016You mean the retested one? Ahah, love it how this site has... moreThe retested rating has a huge brightness setting bump from the original 50% (90 nits in the Z5) to 200 nits which in my opinion is the main reason why the rating dropped so extreme.

    Hi, GSM arena I m ur big and dedicated fan. Whenever I think to get some info about new launched smart phones. My fingers type GSM arena in Google search tab. However one thing I hame noticed. In every brand and their specifications why it's always mentioned non removable batters for every phone models in every brand. For an example I m using Samsung Galaxy j5 it's given in specifications that it has non removable battery. But in actual Galaxy j5 has removable battery. If I am wrong then I am sorry to raise such issue. But if I am not please can we fix it as soon as possible. Because I love this site and I don't want if anyone criticise GSM arena for this issue.

      Tann Hauser, 21 Sep 2016It doesnt They retested XA batterylife after a month and i... moreI thought qnovo was only about keeping the battery from over charging. Basically I thought the feature was about learning habits of when you charge so the phone hits 100% just when you are about to use it in the morning. If there is more to it please elaborate, because Sony hasn't.

      I actually thought the feature was a good idea, but pointless to me as my charge times are too erratic. I thought it would have been much better if the phone just used your alarm as the guide and hit 100% right as the alarm went off. Seems like a much easier and reliable method to me.

        Also video test used to be at 50% brightness, which was 106 nits on z5c and now all phones are tested at 200

          AnonD-481725, 21 Sep 2016Tann, what do you think about xperia z5 endurance rating??? You mean the retested one?
          Ahah, love it how this site has double standards.
          Guess only Sony gets the "bad update retesting and reporting" treatment here :-/ :-S
          Well if they put some certain edge phones numbers with edge feature off to look better, at least Sony should get the same lovely treatment and be tested with stamina on and some draining feature off

              Anonymous, 21 Sep 2016Not sure what to think about these battery test results. I... moreIt doesnt
              They retested XA batterylife after a month and it jumped from 40hr out of the box to 57hr, without any updates
              Shows Xperias UI intelligent learning feature is actually true
              Thats more than 40%
              So, X Compact having same qnovo and Sonys smart UI, means you can freely add about 40% to their measured endurance
              In a month of usage X Compact will learn users habits and endurance will jump to...90-100hr

At most I may watch a 5 or 10 minute YouTube clip on the phone. It's a 4.6 inch screen, why the hell would I want to watch a movie on it?

                    Not sure what to think about these battery test results. I had a brand new z5c two weeks ago. I could not get more than 7.5h of on screen time with stamina mode enabled. With the xc I'm getting 9-10.5h hours. Stamina mode is not enabled. Even with the zc3 I was getting in the 10h hour range. So I am not sure if their testing aligns with actual usage.

                      This is the X Compact, thus the CPU is not the 820.
                      Looking forward for the XZ Compact

                          Some people argue about this phone not having S820 SoC
                          guys seriously why would be the reason of using that SoC on 720p resolution???! it's just waste of resources and more battery consumption and much more price tag!
                          S650 (or maybe S652) is the best choice for this screen size and sony actually made a high end compact phone again!!

The essence of this phone is it... moreRight now most phones are bigger, but I can't see how a low res small screen would make a phone more expensive. But you can buy a lot of phones with 4.7 inch and S410, dirt cheap almost too. But this thing is brand new Q3 2016 with S650 and costs about 2x. Then again both Motorola and ASUS has set their prices up by 30% on new stuff. The Z3 had the same size and 720p, about the same price, but it had S800 or so.
