It is unfortunate that this phone has not used USB Type C, still use android 7 and sometimes hot if played for a long time especially for gaming.

Well my comment is as follows the z5 is a total mess when it comes to phone all those tech don't mean a thing if you only bump into one problem or the other at every turn, the phone should be scraped up of the market in anyways, I have had a number Sony products and even when my friends say that Sony phone are not good I thought it a joke because of these failed series of z's, I bought the Z3 almost the same price I bought LG g6 but it can't be compared to what LG g6 can offer, LG to me is more durable, reliable and efficient, I also have this xa ultra before buying the LG g6, from the look of things I still grade the g6 more than xa ultra the only nice feature with xa ultra is the big screen well actually big for nothing which can be measured with g7, so for now Sony can go to hell, if I can screen shoot the Sony phone now it is even bleeding when it gets hot,what kind of shit is this Sony, you managed to disappoint your fans and I now understand why people have no interest in your phones again

In 2020 the Xperia Z5 not the phone to get. The battery life from the factory was only OK level when new and by today's standards is subpar. The software is outdated and unless you dont mind the work of trying to load a version of android that Sony does not directly support then its not really secure or worth the effort. Sony has a track record of cutting support for their phones a little on the sooner rather than later side. The problems they have with the batteries dying on these older phones is a concern. Sony also has a bad track record of very delicate hardware and if the Z5 you get has not been well taken care of then you will have to worry about what is going to break if it hasn't already.
I honestly have a soft spot for Sony products but would recommend you get another brand when it comes to a phone. They are not bad when new but dont last near as long as their competition on average. I get more customers with dead Sony phones more than any other manufacturer, even Apple. They dont even look abused and fail hard. THe Apple and Samsung phones that I ger usually look like they have seen hell befor they broke.
The up side is its usually something simple like the screen or battery that need to he replaced but is it really something that should fail so often across their entire line of phones? You would think they would have figured it out by now.
Z5"s are cheap used for a reason.

Looking for users who made the upgrade from an earlier Z-model. Was it worth the upgrade? With a limited budget of approx $100,- (ebay) and prio 1 being camera, closely followed by audio (music, audiophile, and call), speed no lag, no games), video play (no lag, daytime brightness) and style. Latest Android of course, less important, but yet, as late as possible.
Did you overcome heating problems in e.g. z3+ by update and cache wipe? Is it still present in Z5 despite update/cache wipe?. Is there a (sleek) alternative given my wishlist?
What I found reading Gsmarena is that I'd better go with the Z2 as everything above has blurring issues (not to mention overheating). Correct or wrong?

What makes the Sony Xperia Z5 standout is it's camera 23 megapixels, and color enrichment options. The drawbacks are that it overheats quickly & that the battery runs out quick.

Dean F, 23 Oct 2019Seriously cant believe we still have people saying Sony's Snapdragon 810 has a overheating pro... moreIt literally cooked the z3+ on 4k video. The 810 has got thermal issues.. Fact! Only way it stays cool is via cooling pipes and thermal throttling. If it didn't overheat then Sony wouldn't have felt the need to put cooling pipes in the z3+ successor the z5.

Doesn't overheat like the z3+ and plays call of duty mobile fine most of the time. Showing its age now although the battery is still going strong.
