It's hard to believe that this is the last ever Sony flagship phone to be equipped with offline FM Radio. LG managed to keep it until their last and final flagship model, the V60. I still value offline FM Radio support, especially when driving back to my mum's rural hometown with almost no internet coverage. That's one of the main reasons I bought an LG flagship phone since LG never skimped on relevant hardware features.

It is truly amazing that you could use it for 6 years. What I don't like about this phone and other Sony phones is that they could not make full screen display like Samsung devices. Tha's why I switched to Samsung after this phone. What a pity because I was a loyal fan of Sony phones because of their elegant design

Anonymous, 12 Dec 2020It uses the Snapdragon 810. This chip gets quite hot.I'm sure we'll look back on snapdragon 8 gen 1 devices in 5 years in much the same way we look back on the 810 now. Neither were power efficient processors for their time, and no amount of optimization can account for a processor that draws a lot of power for even basic tasks. Maybe it'll be better thanks to advancements in smartphone cooling, but I doubt it. The 8 gen 1 was just plain bad. It was a solid design, but the samsung foundries just couldn't produce quality silicon to support the high perfomance design. I'm glad I dodged that bullet, my current phone has a snapdragon 865 and my next will either have an 8 gen 2 or 8 gen 3.

good for social media only, but the battery is very wasteful and always heats up fast

Bought mine in 2016 and still using today. I've loved this phone, ideal size, good screen and decent camera plus tough. However, I'm going to have to get a newer phone as it is running 7.1.1 and I've had a message from Sony saying it is no longer supported and won't be updated. I'm now getting messages from my banking apps saying I need Android 8 as a minimum for security reasons. Searched on YouTube etc but there seems to be no way, given limited technical skills, can upgrade to a newer version of Android. What a pity!

The Z5 has served me well the past 4 years and is still going.
Now, the battery drains quickly to the point that with the screen on and at reasonable brightness, it will be dead in 2 hours.
The screen is just bright enough at maximum brightness to use in direct sunlight but you can wave your battery goodbye.
The thing gets warm when doing much of anything and in summer can shut down because then it actually gets hot.
Fingerprint and proximity sensors have always worked reliably.
After all this time the os (i guess) started to become unstable. Apps kept stopping and preferences resetting. Something something wipe cache partition, didn't work, needed a factory reset.
Yeahnah twas good value for money in 2017 but as it has become a little slow with the apps of 2021 I don't recommend buying it today.

The came... moreThis phones takes better daylight photos than any of the recent flagships by Apple and Samsung (detail wise), but in low light it's another story (It's just plain bad). It heats up quite a bit during normal usage but never shuts itself off due to heat (not sure what people meant by "overheating", maybe it's because it gets hot?). Anyways after 5 years the battery is degrading noticeably (there's no Qnovo so it's to be expected). I only get 3-4 hours SOT so it's a backup phone for now...

Been using this phone for 5 years now. Yes it gets hot, yes the camera is nice, yes the battery is shitty, because it's already 5 years old, because of that I can use the phone for max 2 hours now, it's gone through so many charging cycles it's not even funny. If I play games on it, it will die at ~45% and display a low battery indicator upon trying to turn it on again, at this age the battery drains for like 1-2% per minute while playing Clash Royale. Also the proximity sensor on the front is faulty, it needs to have literal sunlight on it so the screen lights up during calls. UI is good.
Yes I've made a stupid purchase when I was young.
I'm thinking of getting Samsung Galaxy A52 or A72 soon.
