Main Camera performance in low light sucks: Not if you know how to use it. Where to focus, where to put your subject, how to use exposure triangle rule. I've seen people taking beautiful photos even with cheap as.s 10e cameras, It's down to the photographer how to take a good picture.

Phone gets so much heatup, After taking couple of pics camera app gets shutdown: What? that's a lie kiddo. The ONLY way to make the camera overheat is 4k recording, tested. I couldn't get the camera to shut down no matter what else I did, even ar effect couldn't shut down the camera.

Speaker volume is very very low: No it's not. It's not W995 loudness level and quality, but it's not quiet for sure. It beats many other flagship phones in speaker loudness, or it's on par.

And no matter what i do, this phone never gives me Screen On Time more then 3 hrs.
and its without 4g: What? again no. Z5 has one of the best battery lifes in standby, and it's on par with galaxy s7 which has a good battery life. Screen on time is subjective on what you do and it's brightness.

My be my unit is big time faulty but for me its my worst purchase ever. :( now i know why sony don't sell well: They don't sell well because they don't throw millions on marketing like samsung and apple do. Z5 is the most feature packed flagship to date.

Please don't start a fan boy war over my comment. Its just my experience and its really really bad: Where's your proof buddy?

Oh and a quick advice to have your battery at good health, don't let your phone battery drop bellow 10%, and don't let it charge to more than 90%.
                So remember the 10%down and 90%up rule and you will be fine.

                      AnonD-566371, 30 Jul 2016Hi, your answer would pay my money which I earned with effort.... only 3 simple questions: ... moreI don't know the answer to q1, but I can answer the rest.
                      Any heat issues? No, it does get considerably warm but it won't slow down. As for continues video playback, don't expect it to last for 10 hours or so. It actually depends on many other factors, if we consider you watch videos offline at 50% brightness then it can last for about 3 movies or so at max volume. Keep in mind that I'm talking about being offline.

                      continues internet connectivity? It's possible but again, it all depends on what you are doing online. If it's gaming then don't expect z5 to last for many hours, it depends on the game. If you mean just being online (to answer online calls and messenger and such) it's like being offline. There is no problem with it's battery, unless you push the device. Don't worry about battery life unless you are a heavy user.

                              I can play Pokemon go now with no worries...

                              I left home with 100% charge then 10 hours of in and out of my pocket to catch monsters, end of the day 40% left

                              No regrets

                              Tip: don't fully drain your batteries and as much as possible USE ONLY SONY GENUINE CHARGERS

                                Hi, your answer would pay my money which I earned with effort....

                                only 3 simple questions:
                                1. It has gyro, that means It supports 360 vr videos with cardboard ? right ?
                                2. any heat issue, and what is exact battery time if net is on, video is on constantly ?
                                3. if compare to sony xperia z3+... is z3+ good for gyro, battery, camera and all with less price than this one ?

                                Thanks in advance...

                                  I saw the price rating and the place I bought the Sony Xperia Z5 is much cheaper than the original price. It only cost you 350 EUR
