In what way is Z5 inferior to the 'standard' nexuses? Just because it doesn't have USB type C? And metal unibody doesn't make the Z5 inferior. Some may like the look of Z5, some may like metal unibody.

But I can only comment on the device that physically had in my hand and was able to run the test on.

The snapdragon 810 has heat issues so running the phone in qhd would only increase heat and decrease performance. So the nexus 6p would be heating more than Z5 and will be slower.

Also, the Nexus 6P scored only 3 points lesser than Z5, but did you know that they tested the Z5 with 8MP superior auto? Not 20 or 23 MP.

As you can see the Z5 with pre production software scores much more than the Z3+. There is a considerable gap between Z5 and Z3+.

Ale, 05 Oct 2015The overheating issues' are still present on this device!!!! I had mine delivered in the UK... moreThere is no proper proof that the phone overheats. Only one Chinese guy telling the Z5C overheats but once again no proper proof. Btekt ran antutu bench on Z5C and the phone scored 65k, and the reviewer didn't tell anything about it overheating.

The overheating issues' are still present on this device!!!!
I had mine delivered in the UK from the Carphone Warehouse this past Saturday (3rd October), upon going through the set up procedure, the device got very hot.
I always start my devices from fresh i.e. I don't restore from cloud backups, that said android always goes ahead and starts downloaded virtually every app you've ever used anyway. This causes most devices I have used to generate considerable heat.
The problem with the Z5 was that once this process had completed, I gave the phone 20 minutes or so to cool down, but once I started using it, almost immediately the temperature rising.
I wasn't even doing anything that demanding, I didn't launch any games or anything like that. I was just signing into my various accounts and checking the core apps. So again I let it cool and then downloaded CPU-Z and Geekbench 3 so I could check the behaviour of the SoC.
From cool and with the memory cleared the Geekbench 3 result was 1058 single core and 3458 multi-core, this is no better than the 'less powerful' Snapdragon 808. Just running through Geekbench once caused quite an amount of heat, I can only imagine that running it a second time would have caused the results to be considerably lower than even this poor score, I didn't try that however.
Twice the Camera app shut down on me due to the heat, by the end of the day I had had enough. I rang Carphone Warehouse to check my return / refund rights, and just making this call alone (which lasted maybe 10 minutes) stated making the phone hot again!!!
Luckily Carphone Warehouse have a 14 day return policy, and yesterday I took the device back and got my refund (all £549.99 as I bought it sim-free).
I really wanted to like this phone, and took Sony's word for it that they had sorted the heating issue's highlighted by the Z3+.....well it seems they haven't!
Maybe I just got a duff unit, who knows but I doubt it judging by the stories I am starting to see pop up on the internet regarding both the Z5 and Z5C and heating issues. I certainly won't be taking the chance by getting another Sony device based around the 810.

If you gonna troll about Z5 camera have any valid complains 1st, not just an opinion.
A samsung paid troll opinion, lol XD

Overall Z5 is the better choice in my opinion.

AnonD-434597, 05 Oct 2015Specs upgrade isnt enough, they must improve the tech. This phone is still inferior even as op... moreqhd is a waste of battery man, 1080p is way too high as well on 6- inches. It's impossible to see any pixel with naked eyes. The glass on Z5 is protected around the glass frame by sides that extend a little bit from the glass (both back and front). That means falls won't crack or brake the glass as the sides will come in contact on flat surfaces. This was a much needed improvement. Other than that it's the top of the marks camera with stabilisation that's way far ahead than ois and cleaner os.

Which phone should I go for out of the LG G4 and the Sony Xperia Z5? I'm tempted to go for the G4, as it is already available in my country, and I've been reading that it takes great photo's. Should I wait for the Z5, or go for the G4?
The only concern I have about the Z5, is that I hear that the Snapdragon 810 gets really hot.

Look, nexus has QHD display(True QHD, not run at FHD, not wasted resolutions). It has usb type c. It has metal unibody that wont crack.
Nexus phone camera is only 12mp, and it scores very high number. Only 3 poin lower than Z5 in dxomark. It isnt all about specs, its better technology.

It's the worse soc ever made. Yeah it won't heat just as z4 but that's because sony has put 2kg of thermal paste and pipes to spread the heat. Still Z5 is no match to S6's performance and benchmark scores.
I'm a sony fan but facts are facts, 810 is the worse soc in history. Every phone that has 810 suffers or suffered from overheating issues and that's a fact, it can't be a coincidence.
They had to underclock the socs in the devices in a failed attempt to overcome overheat, that's pitiful. 810 is a curse.

will you guys (or guy) cut it with evan?
He is a sony fan more or less, no need to call him a troll just because he is mentioning the downsides of z5 IN HIS OPINION. The camera on Z5 might got the highest ranking spot but I watched video samples and at low light colour noise is all over the image, hopefully they'll fix it.. it's a pain to watch. Iphone 6 didn't have that awful noise in that video comparison.

Z5 Premium display has the highest pixel density and clarity. Top of the line snapdragon processor. Amazing stereo speakers. Best in class battery. And has finger print scanner. And the Z5 is water proof. So to conclude Sony phones are as good as or better than its competitors. Find a better reason.

You are just a troll mocking and ridiculing Sony. You complained about the Z3+ camera. When the Z5 released , you told the camera looks only good in paper and cant match S6. When reviews told Z5 HAS the best camera, you didn't even mention about it. If you really were a legitimate person wanting Sony to improve, you would have at least told a good word.

Yes, its unique. No other flagship has a camera shutter button, including the S6, G4, M9, and 6S: these phones lack that.

The Xperia Z5 improved a lot from its predecessor the Z3+. Z5 has the best camera in a phonw, while you were all the time telling the Z5 camera looks only good in paper. Rest of the specs are in line with the competition.
