AnonD-555473, 03 Jul 2016after 6.0.1 update, are there any issues? Hope I can get an... moreMine is updated to 6.0.1 and so far I have no issues at all.
I noticed that it doesn't heat up that much like it used to in lolipop during games, and that the battery life is the same, if not better (standby time has improved a lot though, must be doze). The ui icons got better. For example the 4g status is now above the mobile network status, not next to it. I have a keen eyesight so I like it, no complains about the icons.

Other than these some new settings additions like the service menu being available instead of having to type a code, the camera shots faster and to load a picture is faster also. Really no issues at all.

    Hi Z5 Owners, can you post a real review of the Z5, coming from real end-users. I would like to know if you experience any issue no matter how big or small it is. I am tired of the trolls here, really.

    I am interested in getting this. my other choices are the V10 and One M9. I own a z2, I can't remember something bad I experienced with it, all it did was to serve me well. :)

    How's the battery life? what's your best Screen-on-Time? Z2's going 6-7hours on me. how about in the Z5...
    Does the camera really improved?
    Is there any hardware or software issue you're experiencing? (like the z2's batches that were affected with hardware issue making them not water resistant, kindly see this link if you're curious of what I am talking about.) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2757544

    how's the audio quality in earphones and aux-in cars' head units and audio systems? was it better? (I'll be using the headphone jack often with this phone.)

    and lastly, IS IT REALLY WORTH IT? I'll use this for 2-3 years so I want to make the best decision and not regret anything with this phone. hope somebody would reply asap... thank you.

In fact the first phone above 700 that I buy is Sony n it s a defect phone though I bought it from Sony store. I pay more cos I think I would get food mobile but I was wrong. Less than 2 month I got mic problem

          My first n last to buy Sony. Bought it n less than 2 months got problem, mic doesn't work. Online service is awful, no one picked up the phone. At service centre there r quite many people got problem just after a few months. All who talked good thing about Sony here is proven wrong. Bad service, bad product. It means there r problems in Sony mobile but the factory instead of recall it, keep producing it n selling it n try to fix it after people buy it. It gives more problem to customers. We then need to go to the service centre at Summerset, wait for a week then need to install application in the unit lent by them. What troublesome it is

                  Guys is it annoying that it has volume buttons at the bottom not on the top-right above the power button?
                  I wanna buy this phone but this is the only thing that makes me sceptic. Thanks!

                              FYI to the Australian Rearders.
                              I have my day old Z5 Dual SIM phone next to me and only one SIM works. After speaking to Sony Australia (who kindly took my call despite the phone not being sold in Australia), it turns out that the second SIM slot access the 2G network (GSM). This network is being discontinued/wound back in Australia so the second SIM slot has no coverage. Would have been nice to know beforehand, but that's what you get by buying a phone from overseas.
