I just bought an Xperia C5 Ultra a week ago and I think the battery life is exceptional. I have the phone set for "stamina mode". I use the phone all day long at work and when I get home I still have 50% battery. That's a mix of YouTube Red, web browsing, checking email, watching videos stored on the SD card, and a few phone calls. The phone I had previous to this was the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. In that same usage scenario, the Galaxy Alpha was typically at 20% or less.
And as far as the phone heating up...my previous Galaxy ran *a lot* warmer than the C5.
A note about the Sony IPS screen vs. the AMOLED on my Samsung Galaxy. I thought I would miss the rich, oversaturated colors on the AMOLED...but I don't. I have the Sony IPS screen set to "Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2" and it's a little less saturated than the AMOLED and I am finding that I like it better. It's just a touch of saturation without being technicolor oversaturated.
Sony's "Super-vivid mode" is just plain ridiculous...everything is SO oversaturated that it's cartoon-like.
Overall, I absolutely LOVE this phone. For $299 I feel it's the deal-of-the-year for a 6" smartphone.
LIKE:

Speaker is slightly tinny compared to my Galaxy Alpha
"Super-vivid mode" screen setting has cartoon-like color saturation
I LOVE THIS PHONE!

I clicked some photos at the expense of 5% battery ( the camera was on for 4 mins may be). The phone is awesome, but the battery is really disappointing.
Battery problem, i thought it will last for 2 days, but i used it 1/2 day only... I think it needs to improve the battery..
battery are crap just like asus.but i buy it because of the camera and ram/it fast but little expensive for the chipset.overall ok for chatting and taking photo.not suitable for gaming and long time web surfer

All good except for the battery span, easily drained and easily heated up backside. Battery is very very poor. The rest perfectly approved. I hope Sony will find solution for this battery heated up. Thanks.
Rajesh, 21 Feb 2016It is nice mobile and camera having pakka clarity. totally superbits heating problem or not plzz tell me rajesh dude..........
Excellent phone. My only complaint is the fact that it isn't waterproof, and that the device is only 2gb RAM. No lag or studder, so I guess 3gb isn't necessary
