Sony Xperia Z5 - user opinions and reviews

Im currently torn between the Z5 and the Galaxy A5 2017. I understand the Z5 has Nougat 7.1.1 and there has been a fix/patch on the battery life bug related to the Movie Creator app. But does it now have the means to challenge the excellent Exynos processor (and Grace UX optimisations) of the A5 2017? (The Samsung one might have an older Marshmallow software but based on tests battery life has been excellent + the water resistance albeit a so-so camera.

xXENDER FREAKXx, 07 Aug 2017Maybe because of XPERIA Z5's software, since it is the only one having the issueBut both the Z5, X & XZ have all the Nougat 7.1.1 update. Could it be because of battery capacity? Or the light Sony skin/software laid on top of Android?

Apart from the improved battery life have you noticed any subtle (or incremental) improvement on the app loading, camera (oh the endless issues of the camera and I'm not talking about the overheating issues) and say the audio/speaker sound? * coz I heard the 7.1.1 update of the Xperia X somewhat made the speakers "louder".

That smartphone u are talkimg about have a 5000mah battery. Comparing to this this only have almost half the capacity of the P1's one. Plus this chipset is notorious of overheating, which will also make the smartphone throttle and affect battery life

Having it able to record 4k when even 1080p heats it up is really not a winning option. That's why we didn't see 4k in x series.

Xperia Z5 is not waterproof. Mine got water inside and it did not even last for 10 mins soaked in water. Motherboard was toasted and replacing it costs a lot. Almost price of a new phone.
