I got it! The phone delivers without a headset, but with a screen protector.
The plastic frame does indeed feel premium, ok not as premium as its metal siblings, but much better than other plastic ones. The screen protector Sony delivers is king a matish, so with the frost glass back, you dont have to worry about any greasy fingertips, in any of its surface. Stereo speakers give out vibrant, loud, but clear sound, even at maximum volume, the sound is not distorted, unlike earlier waterproof iterations. With earpieces, i ve tried out the iPhone ones and the sound enhacement is exceptional, i ve noticed tones and effects, like background phonetics, that i ve never perceived before in my favourite tracks.
The overall performance is spectacular, not only on benchmarks {always over 61k on antutu even with 30apps running in background) in games in particular, i ve tried the latest Nfs and RR3 and the framerate was stellar, with the graphics of course on the highest level.
The resolution helps such games to look even better.
The temperature rises a bit, after heavy gaming, but much less than i was used to with my G3,
The 810 is finally tempered!
The battery is simply good, much better than G3 but not extraordinary like it was with Z3c, its about the G2 levels.
I was mostly impressed by the contrast, comparing it to G3, it feels like the later has very washed out colors and i am sure that the Z5c has overdone it with saturation, but the huge advantage comes from high luminosity. Sony ever since the first Z was under fire for poor contrast and brightness and they made sure noone is going to complain about it again...
Today i will test out the camera and Gps performance. Feel free to ask any questions.

Anyone here with this z5c experience overheating issue? I'm considering to get this phone in Yellow but when I heard Sony opted to go with Snapdragon 810 i was like darnn. I love everything about this phone except for the snapdragon 810 part.

regs, 05 Oct 2015there are no any facts. just baseless numbers. that's the last site i trust. or don't trust at all.Thats the only one you can trust. The reviews are not biased. Just pure skill and facts. If you look at some other websites, some will tell S6 is the best, some 6s, while the rest will tell G4. Sites like CNET and other American websites are Apple biased. Phone arena Samsung biased. Atleast Dx0mark does not do biased reviews. They review JUST the camera.

Most flagship design now has curvy edges which is too common for me.

Mir, 03 Oct 2015and ugly too.ugly indeed. all colors. black is boring. white has white front panel, so exclusively for girls. yellow and coral are for blonds. they should have made white with black front panel, so it would be universal and not so boring as all-black that feels like $49 ultra cheap phone.
