      Not a big fan of Sony, but big thumbs up for including a lanyard eyelet. It's the only phone on the market that I know of that has one. Before that, there was also Lumia 1020, but I don't remember any others recently.

        And Dxomark had the nerve to crown the Z5 as the best in overall image quality. They don't know what they are talking about!

                Top and bottom bezels are too wide. Sony didn't utilize screen space to fullest like ZL.

                    Every year a Z series flagship review is put up on GSMA, I am like, oh yes, this must be something really exciting, and every year after reading the review for 15-20 minutes I am like, oh dear, same old, same old.

                    Sony is consistent. I think its time for Mr. Bond to switch brand. I am sorry to Sony Mobile is nowhere near to be an exclusive brand any more, nowhere near.

                          Cant wait to see the day when Sony smartphone division merge with HTC to form one super mediocre company.

                                Based on the overall review, I think they tried to be positive and objective as they could, though some copy paste items were not checked. I'm a Sony fan and I want to agree w/ what GsmA say in their conclusion. It could be the marketing to blame after all, as for the pricing, to me it's just justifiable given the offerings, some similarly priced competitors have less to offer, I think some here know what I'm referring to. Am iRight?

                                I just wish that Sony reads reviews and learn from them for future refinements. I love Sony and if there is a need for them to polish things like software, then so be it. They will surely benefit from CONSTRUCTIVE criticisms.

                                  AnonD-45647, 19 Oct 2015im i the only one here who noticed that the sample pictures look way better than the description !Me either! It's hard for me to find fault with the cam samples. I checked them and the description seems to be wanting for an absolute perfection. Tho I also want to understand gsmA side; again maybe they want an absolute perf, quite similar to that of what a pro-level sensor can give.

                                    I really don't understand Sony. They make great camera sensors and great cameras in general, yet when it comes to smartphones their own camera really suc*ks. Why would you blindingly increase the resolution, decreasing the pixel size, when the low-light pictures look like a bad joke...this is something I can't understand.

                                      I am not happy with gsmarenas camera test.
                                      They say low light imaging is not good. Well i don't think so.
                                      dxomark is very trustable source for camera quality.
                                      S6 had an excellent camera. But it was imx240.
                                      Z5 has imx300 it definitely has to be better than the s6.

                                        Vic, 19 Oct 2015Sadly, like a rule of thumb, all newer generations of smartphones ( Sony, Samsung, HTC) have g... moreThey may not be much better. The way early 64-bit qualcomm and Android have worked so far is that standby is not so well. The phones would score much higher if the standby was up to kitkat level. This should be alleviated in 6.0 though.

                                        Personally, I'm waiting for the Z7C, and hopefully Sony will go with either a 1080p 4.7" screen, or a 720p 4.7" that is actually QHD when rendering media. It can be done...and it'd he a nice last hurrah
