Which is better z5c or z3 c for camera?

I am trying another route in my quest to find my next "affordable" phone and this time it is the Xperia Z5 Compact vs the iPhone SE. A third choice would probably be the X performance. I feel it is a sensible comparison 'coz of the (almost) similar sizes of both phones.
Heard about some positive reviews of the SE. So, between the two phones which one takes better photos disregarding the actual megapixels and more of the speed, performance and post-processing?
Which one has a louder, more clearer speakers sound output?
And which one is supposed to have better battery life in terms of web browsing and standby time?

Now I got 2 questions from your experience .. what are the demanding tasks that get the device heated up? and how much heat are we talking about? can't handle the device anymore, have to be left to cool .. or just a bit warm, 40 degrees like?
Second thing, the GPS .. you mentioned that it's not accurate .. I don't need 100% accurate, but like 95% not to get lost while navigating .. :)
But more importantly, how powerful the GPS is ..? as In many locations in my city, if the GPS is not sensitive enough, my phone does not track me .. :(
If you could compare the above points between z3c and z5c, would appreciate it .. :)
thanks a lot ..

Advantages of upgrading: it's faster.
Disadvantages: heats up when performing demanding tasks, had problems with mic (probably my fault), relatively quiet speakers. GPS is s*** if you want high precision.
Actually GPS used to be quite good, but after some update last september/october it just became s***. HAd to buy GPS watch for my runs.
IDK about battery life. Lasts full day if I'm not doing too much internet stuff.
Love the size!!!

I've been eyeing on this phone since the announcement of the X Compact.
But why is the price of the Z5c still high!?
It's a 2015 phone, for crying out loud!!!

Got a z5 compact, basically good. Very handy and really compact, battery life also good.
The only one thing that bothering me is the camera, it always took very long time to save photo image when I take photo with camera.

Personally, I thought it was good at first, it runs very quickly and is smooth, but it is an incredibly fragile phone. One slight screen crack and the whole phone falls to bits. The camera quality is meh, so if you want a small power phone then look no further.

Battery life was already decreased when we got the Marshmallow one but it was bearable, with Nougat, percentages drop in seconds!!!

Battery life seems to be getting shorter after a years use. Touching screen with wet hands sends it into an epileptic fit and gets unbearably hot in a short time. Now the processor is seemingly slowing down and the bottom speaker got wet and failed.

Z3C or Z5C .. ?
I know that z5c is faster, android 7.0, and better camera .. but z3c has better battery life, and does not heat as easy .. !
I just need some Owners to confirm or deny above points .. especially regarding android nougat performance on z5c .. and the heating issues on it .. ?
Thanks in advance .. :)
