Before you buy your Xperia...
I had two Sonys in my life, an Xperia Acro and the Z3 compact. I loved the minimal android bloating and the added apps from Sony make the virgin Android even better. The processors are fast (with relevant to their times) although not as smooth as one wishes, and they both had a superb camera which no one can complain about.
But... but... here is the warning. They are not as robust and waterproof as Sony claims. In fact they are not. I fail to understand why Sony make the 'waterproof' claim when water would one day leak in through the flimsy plastic flaps. It will happen and Sony would not want to know. Moreover, sea and pool water are not covered by the term 'waterproof'. The waterproof term is only in labs conditions (think Volkswagen)!
So if you buy a Sony, for which you are paying extra to have it called 'waterproof', make sure you do not use it near the water.
Sony refuses to learn the lesson and this also relates to the other Xperia models.

Come on now, most people can Read specs on New cell phone release before buying Sony; or any other cell like IPhone.
So sounds like your the competition, since once Z6 is released your going to post same upgrade information. Haha

I have been using the Z5P for 1 month now. My previous phone was Sony Z3, Z2, Z1, Z. Overall I am happy with the Z5P, but it is not as big of an upgrade I would like coming from the Z3. I am a die hard Sony fan too so here is my honest review compared to Z3.
Pro's:
-bigger display
-fingerprint sensor, love the new power button too
-better camera quality
-very premium look and feel (grabs attention)
Con's
-Bluetooth, Bluetooth, Bluetooth!!!! - BT problems since day one connecting to my Mercedes and my SWR30 SBT. Hopefully this is fixed in 6.0
-Camera Speed: shot are better than Z3 but takes longer to focus and snap
-Heats up : Sony has done a terrific job at taming the 810 (vs. other phones), but my Z3 with the 801 was perfect.
-No more mag port :-(
Should you upgrade: I did not buy the Z5P for 4K, I did not even talk about in my review. If 4K is what you are after, just skip the Z5P. I only upgraded because I wanted a premium Sony flagship with a bigger screen. The fingerprint sensor is a bonus. If you have a Z3 or other comparable Snapdragon 801/808 device, you may want to hold off until the Z6. If you want a flagship Sony with a bigger screen that really turns heads, the Z5P will not disappoint. Once MM6.0 arrives I think Z5P owners will have a better experience. BTW, expect Z6 in the fall, not at MWC.

My only two gripes are issues with less than desirable egornomics (yes, this thing feels like a wet soap in your hands, and the positioning of that volume rocker doesn't help either) and battery life (it ain't exactly bad, I just expected better).
