AnonD-674391, 14 Aug 2017Why has Sony blocked you? After all you are a fan.I'm starting to see the reason..

    Gino76, 14 Aug 2017Sony has blocked me out of their forums for some reasons on... moreUpdates? Hun s7 doesn't have android 7,1,1 yet, and all Sony phones that were supposed to get it, got it. Z5 runs flawlessly like it has oil at its wheels, it doesn't lag at anything. And don't start with the camera again. It has more than double the mp of s7 so it will take more time. Plus older processor than it.

    Hardware is top as it used to be since z2. No other phone has stereo speakers and this design language, Sony phones are one of a kind they have no copycats. Samsung on the other hand has many lookalikes, too bad for them but that's what you get when you are extremely aggressive in marketing.

    Price of xzp was 750€ at release date, z5 was more expensive at its release so your argument isn't valid. S8 was and still is more expensive than xzp when the latter offers more as a device.

    Anything else you need correction?

That is why i depend on sites like GSMArena or Xperia Blog. I agree people can "report anything" but I still think most of them have very valid issues and complaints. Yes there are still good things about Xperia phones and their profits now show today. But there are lots of work to be done in terms of hardware choice, implementation and optimization of software, updates and price.

          Why is VoLTE (4G Speech) never mentioned?

            xXENDER FREAKXx, 13 Aug 2017But does the smartphone run at maximum clock speeds?At android 5 it used to hit 103.000. At android 7,1,1 it hits 93.000 so there must have been a slight decrease in clock speeds.

You know people can report anything, even when they are new members in forums. Ive read only from one time commenters that had issues, they never bother to reply. Just post an imaginable issue so it will appear in google and their job is done. Full of these people in here, and Sony forums.

And there were also the usual sketchy reports of various wifi, bluetooth, audio & GPS issues. Not entirely sure but these has been issues with Xperia phones in the past anyways.

The basic necessity for me is it must have some form of digital or electronic stabilisation (which makes for less shakes in video and a better low-light photos), a well-balanced/ decent photo with not too much contrast or oversharpening and less noise when zooming in. Plus a selfie cam that doesn't make look like an extraterrestrial (i.e. beauty mode). That's all.

                          What were the problems with the fingerprint scanner? I didn't nor have any. And what were the other issues?

                            The best camera phone is always inferior than a recent dslr, and your needs seem too mach for a phone. Keep in mind that even a mobile taken photo can end up better than a dslr's one in the hands of an experienced mobile photographer (like me).
                            In any case though, manual controls and a touch up afterwards are essential.

                                After the Nougat 7.1.1 update on the Xperia Z5 have the issues on battery life (and fingerprint sensor) been fixed and resolved? And were there any other issues been fixed with the update? And is it true the speakers output has been increased (just like it did on the X)?

                                  DenisXD, 10 Aug 2017I think you need a dslr hun, not a phone.No hun. I don't need a DSLR. I need a more than capable, old flagship/above average mi-ranger with a decent hardware.

                                    DenisXD, 09 Aug 2017I don't know, I don't have an X sweety. But I bet they both... moreI'm getting slightly concerned about the Z5. It may have the new (& "improved") Nougat 7.1.1 but i fear security updates will become scarce (than the X). And despite having a higher mAh battery it has an older battery tech than the X's Qnovo and is less optimised than the X. So, in theory the X's battery drains around 10% slower than the Z5. is this a good plausible assessment?
