Sony Xperia C5 Ultra - user opinions and reviews

I purchased the C5 ultra a week ago and here are my comments: 1) not all android OS are created equal. The C5 doesnt have haptic feedback options, has no 'airplane mode' like the Z series, and drains battery life very fast. I have to download 3rd party apps to reduce the drainage rate.
The front camera is super clear, so that's good for selfies, wefies, etc. Screen is large, another good point.
But I don't know why they must scrimp on the Android O/S by taking out some important but basic functions or hiding them under sub-menus. Guess it comes with the cheaper price compared to the Xperia Z series.
Moral of the story: if you want the full-fledged OS, go for Xperia Z5. If you want large screen with clear front camera, go for C5, but beware of its drawbacks.

Decided to buy this phone a week ago after reading several reviews. As i have experienced the battery life is good, camera is excellent and performance as well. I have never encountered issues. To prolong the battery i have stopped several applications on the back ground such as Viber, Yahoo messenger or any messenger when doing some gaming. Dismiss unused application in the Task. Turn off the data when not in use and lower my screen resolution when using indoors. Overall i like the performance of this phone and it doesn't feel like a midranger

Tried a lot of different chargers with varied amp setups and it kept depleting so fast and charging so slow. two days ago I charged it sith a Motorola fast charger with 2.1 amp and I'm writing this commit with my c5 as of 36 hours of no charge period and with still 66% battery in it. I was so disappointed but found out that the main concern is the charger it comes to begin with. I'm sure the Sony branded fast charger can do the same trick. Also it got charged from 0 to 100 in about 2 hours!! Cheers

When I tried to move heavy games such as NOVA 3, it only moves the apk file but the obb file remains in the internal storage only. Anyone faces this problem or is that because of my sd card.

Xenon, 16 Dec 2015Sorry but it last at most about 3h and a half to be exact. Im a heavy user so may i ask whethe... moreBro that's plenty of gaming on such big screen I don't know what you people expect how long battery to last while gaming? I used many phones and there are flagships that I can drain in less than 3h easily (depending on the game and brightens) only things that can last for longer period of time are tablets with huge batteries inside and some devices are good with battery life like Sony xperia Z2,Z3, LG G3, Samsung S5 (all with 801 chipset/1080p display and big batteries) and all xperia compact versions Z1c,Z3c,Z5c because they have small resolution screen which not only drains less battery but also puts less load on chipset and graphic ...
YES Marshmallow will probably help improve battery life a lot but don't expect to much from it!
I suggest again to everybody who uses any xperia device to enable ''Extended usage'' in STAMINA settings . This will put only restrictions on CPU and GPU and prolong your battery life a lot because you don't need all that power when going trough simple tasks.
I use that setting all the time and never experienced reduce in performance(even when gaming) and if you do notice any reduce in performance simply turn it off again.

One thing is for sure that u get more battery backup on kitkat than lollipop. In using as well as in idle/standby time. Maybe it is possible with new phones that comes with new hardware, the scenario is different. But many users are also complaining about battery backup in lollipop.

Because C5 ultra comes with ... morewhat??is everything ok whit your mind?you going around and suggesting people to buy older phones.that's crazy man anyway lollipop is not that bad on 5.1.1. and update 6.0 marshmallow will come soon on C5... I don't have ZR so it could be true that battery really socks on that one but that's old phone could be also battery issue?you ever replaced the battery?since I still have xperia Z(similar to ZR) and no battery drainage on lollipop 5.1.1. but i rarely putting it in use since it has connection problems in my country not all the bands are supported :(
