AnonD-645892, 24 Feb 2017Terrible low light photography...Sold mine and bought another brand and its low light photogra... morenot terrible, but also not great. Z5 has a weird blue or red tint on some of it's low light shots at the sides of particular photos. Z5 is still a pretty darn great photographic phone, just not the best anymore.
The battery life yeah, it's draining fast i admit that, but this happens since i ”updated" it to nougat. Worse battery life, dropped volume levels, top speaker distorts at max volume, bluetooth turns itself on at times..
They better fix these because on android 6 it was great.
But saying it's a bad phone? naah its down to personal opinion. I still love it even though Sony messed it up with android 7.

Just look at some samples here from the Z5 and XZ camera (official Sony Mobile Website forum): (oh, and take your time, it's already 31 pages comments and samples by Xperia owners)

Trenton , 21 Feb 2017I have an Z5 and my pics come out fine..so ill always buy Sony.I hear that from a lot of people. Untill I show them the pictures made by my Samsung Note 1 from 2012 with only an 8 megapixel camera.
If you not have very high standards the Sony camera will seem fine. But that also accounts for many low end 5 megapixel camera's. They're fine, but defenitly not good.

Krassimir, 21 Feb 2017After the update when I have the same problems.Have you tried resetting it to factory settings? Sony phones usually have this problem after a major update; apparently it has something to do with the Stamina mode. I had the same problem with my Xperia Z when upgrading to Lollipop and restoring the phone to factory settings did the trick. Some people reported that uninstalling and manually reinstalling all the apps also solved the problem for them, but I wanted to do it properly. If you do go resetting the phone, be sure to backup your data since it will be lost in the process.

Twikuus, 21 Feb 2017Maybe. But my message was for people who also want to use their smartphone for making pictures... moreI'm taking professional photos with my Z5, what are you talking about?
Z5 has a very high score in dxomark and nowadays it's still a killer camera! Just check out for yourself: https://scontent.fath3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/fr/cp0/e15/q65/16797188_923917064412011_8717104737347652254_o.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoiYiJ9&oh=2c799aae1b65a5813f3f6fbba25155ca&oe=593423B1

With Nougat te camera is even gotten worse.... And it was sh*t already. Why can't Sony get their camera's straight...?? It seems the XZ has not brought any improvement either.
People, if you like taking pictures and you want them to look nice, do not ever buy a Sony smartphone!

The battery drains faster than it was draining with marshmallow. And it's a big deal since Z5's battery life wasn't worth writing about at marshmallow. Why is that?
The audio now is a mixed bug. The volume levels have dropped, and it's noticeable in videos. Both online and offline volume at 100% is low. At marshmallow it was quite good, but not anymore. At least the volume through headphones isn't different.
These are my only complains, everything else is the same or better. I noticed that the fingerprint sensor is much faster now.
