I was always counting the days when Sony is going to release the Z5 series here in Singapore, and in Sony shops they will ask you to buy Z3+ or M5 since Z5 series won't be available soon, so disappointing. Sony should have not released the overheating Z3+ and could have released the Z5 series much earlier and their mobile business will remain strong financially, now they are left behind the shadows of Iphone6s and Note5/S6 as they are being released earlier. Poor Sony marketing. And yet this comment could never reach Sony's CEO, so sad. I worked on a MNC and we always make sure we have have a good time-to-market otherwise competitors will release early their products.

    None of the Z5 series made it to the top 10 daily rating. All excitement is gone. This is due to the poor marketing strategy by Sony. They announced the phone on the 1st week of this month and people are tired of waiting, now came Iphone 6s, Sony's fault is very obvious, their time-to-market is very long. While Apple or Samsung make sure that people won't lose interest by releasing the phone much earlier after announcement.

If you like more Ram and 1080 display then you must choose Z5, the Z5 Compact will keep for one hand operate. Endurance for 3 days is possible, if you using the Ultra Stamina mix and match the Stamina mode, but Iphone Samsung just can 't make it.

            They have made a big deal I know they will surely failing to impress that's for sure coz iphone is here
            I'm not an iPhone user or even a fan.
            Waiting for z6 or z7 compact with....
            4.8" 1080p coz they have really good ratio
            3GB of ram and efficiently optimized
            Better camera software
            Better UI
            Build quality needs to be improved a lot
            3000MAP battery still excellent
            Better positions of side buttons
            Snap dragon 825 or 830
            IP 89 certification
            As smooth as iphone
            Better viewing angles
            Better speakers both for calls and listening music
            Gorilla glass 4 or 5 whatever
            Battery life of 3 days with moderate usage

              Anonymous, 21 Sep 2015battery endurance please, because im planning to buy xperia... moreI'd go with the Z3c. The price is better. S801 vs S810 is not noticable with a 720p screen and 2GB RAM. Instead, the S810 will drain the battery much quicker. Besides that, the sides of the Z3c feel much more premium than the sides of the Z5c which feel much more like cheap plastic. And the launch price is $100,- higher. Ridiculous!

              The Z5c and the Z3c both support Quickcharge. But both come with a regular adapter in the box. You'd have to buy the UCH10 adapter to gain benefit from the quickcharge. The Z3c has a nice magnetic charge dock available (no opening flaps!) which positions your phone in landscape mode. The Z5c has an open USB port which would position your phone in portrait mode when charging in a dock. I prefer the landscape stance. I have my tablet in the same stance next to it and it looks awesome! The clock turns automatically when you insert it in a dock on android 4.4.4. I believe android 5 finally supports landscape stance on the home screen. It is just so much more fun to watch a movie or anything like that when you can put your phone in a dock.

                              "The only real question that remains to be answered is if they have succeeded to achieve Z3c battery endurance"

                              This is my own only remaing dealbreaker aswell. Everything else is perfect. I can accept 90+ hours in the endurance-test (compared to 101 hours for Z3c), but anything below that will be a dissapointment.

                                  why don't Sony mobile emphasis more on the compact series models? video calling features seems to have been opted out in compact series phone? why is it so?

                                    This phone aims functionality, actual benefits, not gimmicks.
                                    Water resistant, but no need to worry about flaps for charging and headset plug-in.
                                    It only has 720p, but it doesnt need more because it has the 325ppi
                                    It only has 2GB ram, but it wouldnt need more for a 720p screen, the rest would just consume more battery and give no real benefit.
                                    Glass and aluminium, but scratchproof, waterproof,fingerprintproof and shatterproof.
                                    9mm, because the latest flagships who became gimmickly thin, at 7mm, did it on the expense of battery endurance.
                                    The only real question that remains to be answered is if they have succeeded to achieve Z3c battery endurance, standby times show that they might have failed miserably...

                                      Also, I would add a "home" physical button instead on the screen.

                                        I really don't understand why Sony didn't put 3 GB RAM so that to be almost perfect. It's compact (not a brick in my pocket), nice looking but it needs 3 GB RAM and done...They would beat Samsung or Iphone...
