Oz, 16 Feb 2017You can say that again cos I used an HTC M9 with the same chipped and wow! I even loved the M8... moreYes, there is a big deference for people with kind of usage, but for me and some others, I am still using my z3 from 3 years and I don't find something pushing me to change it, fast no lags, cameras do its job pretty well.... I may change once it doesn't function well any more, most sony fans do the same, no wonder why sony doesn't sell so much XD.

AnonD-481725, 15 Feb 2017And Sony made the best smartphone in 2015 with this chipset, unbelievable company!! You can say that again cos I used an HTC M9 with the same chipped and wow! I even loved the M8 I used before it really, thereby making Sony a king of 2015 Android phones. There's really not much to argue about it anyways. According to reviews, I even think there's not much difference between the Xperia Z5 and the Xperia XZ really so why even upgrade?

Anonymous, 15 Feb 2017You obviously never owned a Z5 or you would know of the overheating problems, camera shutting ... moreYes, the Sony Xperia Z5 heats up only when u play HD games which is same on Snapdragon 820 phones pls. Yet, if never force closes. I open up over 15apps and at least 8 run internet and it never lags. If ur Z5 slightly gets slow just force shut down 2apps alone and I tell u dude! It breezes again. Been using this phone since last year and am telling u, it's the 1St phone since 2003 I been using phones that proves I can use a phone for over 2years cos it give me all I want. I used an HTC M8 before this and I must say wow! The Sony Z5 has done a wonderful Job! It's fingerprint is one of the best in the whole world and Anyone coming here to say rubbish about the Z5 is just a hater so pls stop trying to kill the company's name..... Oz

AnonD-481725, 15 Feb 2017You obviously never owned a z5 or you would know that there is no overheating issues with this... more Heat pipe cooling in an old technology and has been used in Pc's and Laptops etc etc for nearly a decade. Usually water cooled. It's a careful balance as always: performance vs. heat dissipation and power consumption.
Usually copper pipe cooling systems have water inside a copper envelope in order to cool electronics, changing from water to vapor and back, operating within a temperature range of 20°C to 150°C.
All Sony Xperias since Z2 have heat pipes due to thermal heating problems in Sonys designs. This thermal heating problem still exists in the Sony XZ, but to a lesser extent. Sony copied this old technology and adapted it to its Xperia range. Lumia 950XL also used heat pipes with the disastrous overheating Spapdragon 810 chipset.
Samsung has launched variant models of the Galaxy S7. North America (USA) uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 in Samsung S7 . The other version uses Samsung's 14nm Exynos 8890 and is for International markets. The model with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 solution uses heat-pipes. S7 with Exynos 8890 doesn't have or need heat pipes.

It is however miles better than the s*** S6 without SD card support and lagwiz. Try again man..hahaha

And yes other companies used the 810, the z5 was the best smartphone between all smartphones with this chipset, no wonder, SONY, why don't you show us where did GSMarena talk about the overheat issue... and Samsung is who copied sony's idea which is using heatpipes with their smartphones.
please make up your knowledge, you are embarrassing yourself in all sony pages with your unreasonable hate.

AnonD-481725, 15 Feb 2017s6 better than z5?? never.. and the z5 never suffered from overheating, yet it can record 4k f... moreYou obviously never owned a Z5 or you would know of the overheating problems, camera shutting down due to overheating in less than 8 minutes, bad battery life, low speaker volume etc etc....It was sooooo slow to boot up, never seen any phone soooo slow to boot up. The heating problems with Snapdragon 810 are all over the net and even gsmarena has spoken of it.
Other companies used the 810...eg. LG, Moto, Microsoft, Lenovo etf etc, but all had to throttle down the 810 due to its heating problems.
Heat pipes have been around for years in laptops, nothing new there from Sony. Sony just copied the idea.
Please update your knowledge here. You are everywhere in Sony forums but don't own any of the phones that you are promoting.

Samsung was smart and didn't use the disastrous Spapdragon ... mores6 better than z5?? never.. and the z5 never suffered from overheating, yet it can record 4k for 45 min which is near to excellent, the other companies ran away from the 810 because of their less knowledge and self confidence, and now they knew about something called heat pipes XD.
Why you sony haters are trying to mislead people on all sony pages, please keep your unreasonable hate for yourselfs.

Samsung must get rid of their heavy Touchwiz UI. On the other side I have Sony Xperia Z3 which is two years old but smooth till now. Never lag or hang.

AnonD-481725, 13 Feb 2017Probably, why not, but come on people!! 2016 vs 2015, show us your smooth s6.S6 is a better choice over the Z5. Samsung was smart and didn't use the disastrous Spapdragon 810 chip that Sony blindly used on the Z5. As it overheated so bad and was heavy on battery usage. Sony Z3+ was even worse. Yes, S6 wasn't perfect either, with a small battery and no memory card slot.
Dunno why you Sony boys are constantly talking about and bashing Samsung. Jealous, envious, obviously yes.

Anonymous, 13 Feb 2017That is NOT proof. Stop being so judgemental here. He made a typo "X" instead of "Z". Thats ... moreI also know a friend who sold his S6 for an Xperia Xz and he is ecstatic. So works both ways. Samsung is far from perfect.

Twikuus, 13 Feb 2017The S7 runs much smoother then my Z5 ever did. It reacts noticeably faster.After some time its smoothness will decrease and it will lag. Remember it is Samsung at all. Don't expect high quality and durability from Samsung.
