In real life usage, okay there are some little issues about the quite fast draining of the battery, etc, due to the amazing pioneer 4K display, but innovation have to evolve, so generally speaking it's acceptable. So Sony definitely have to stick on this pathway, really well done and absolutely keep it up! Excellent job. Because holistically speaking, the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium is the most complete flagship of 2015, and so it is really the role model to follow for all the other brands!!! Compliments Sony, definitely keep it up! !!!!!

Ceiron, 03 Jan 2016I have been using this phone for just under a month.

I have a genuine question to anyone in the know, with the update to marshmallow looming for the Xperia range, is anyone aware of what Sony's plans are for the inclusion of doze???
As far as I know doze simply replicates what Sony already have with stamina mode, minus the ability to white list apps for continued use in the background (making stamina mode more versatile than doze itself).
It doesn't make sense to me to have doth systems running simultaneously as they may get in each other's way and could lead to issues. As Android is open source software its feasible that Sony could take doze out (again as far as I'm aware).
I know Sony are running a beta testing programme for Xperia 6.0 firmware, anyone here a part of that? Or know what Sony are planning to do in this case?

I have been using this phone for just under a month.
The heat issue is ever present, as expected of a snapdragon 810.
The performance in itself is very good, coming from a Samsung Note 3 it's a rather large leap in power.
The device interaction is smooth and handles games very well, until the throttling kicks in to control the heat.
The heat pipes do help but with nowhere for the heat to go, it's more a buffer than a solution.
On occasion I've found the device almost too hot to touch, around where the heat pipes sit.
The fingerprint reader works great, but it heavily depends on how well you register your finger since it's quite specific. Wet/oily/dirty hands obviously make it harder to scan properly.
4K screen is quite sharp, although the contrast and colour is richer on an AMOLED I don't really have much to complain about, especially due to the lack of 4K content for proper comparison, as mentioned in a million reviews.
Overall, I love the phone but I hate SD810. Bit of a love hate relationship.

Samsung fanboy will be quite if sony had sd820 with 4gb ram. Also with 4k display soon. 820 has FC 3.0 and wireless charging
If you're a wise guy you better wait for 820 aside of 810 and still SAMSUNG will remain as immitator against to innovator.

Hey. Does it get hot like Z1? I want to buy this one, I've been using Sony as long as I can remember, but Z1 gets hot really fast and sometimes even prevents me from recording more than 20 minutes or so. I was wondering if the same thing goes on with this one!?

And you do not consider yourself a troll, huh?
Quit your n... moreYawn.....and Tann Hauser says: " troll troll troll troll troll......troll"
So in short, says nothing new.
Look you say the 810 is perfect, the rest of the industry and people who aren't brainwashed fanboy zombies recognise that there were, are, and will continue to be issues to varying degrees on any devices using the 810.
Now whether those issues are enough to cause an end user to look elsewhere for their daily driver or not is up to the individual, but they are there regardless of your ill informed propaganda.
If you'll read my recent posts on the subject of the 810 you'll notice that I have in fact not labelled the it an out right failure, but rather a product that doesn't live up to expectations.
You call this trolling. I call it discussion, you can't tell the difference and that is your problem.

don't waste your money by buying any sd810 devices.Irregardless of Tann Hausers latest diatribe on the subject, I again point people to Anandtech's recent reviews of the OnePlus Two and the Nexus 6P.
These reviews makes specific mention of the shortcomings of devices based around the 810, and in the closing comments of the 6P review they say quite clearly that it is a viable option to wait for devices based around the 820 in the coming year, as the performance gains should be significant.
Now people can either go by the words of Tann Hauser or Daul Heatpipes (who has named himself after the extreme measures Sony has gone to in order offset the issues that Tann Hauser says do not exist with the 810) or by Anandtech's findings regarding the 810.
In short this has been a particularly disappointing year for Qualcomm, and the 810 is the main reason for that. I'll agree that there is nothing 'wrong' as such with the SOC, however in terms of performance and power efficiency, it is a big disappointment, and neither it nor the 808 represent a generational leap over the 801/805 that they replace.

http://www.gsmarena.com/user.php3?idUser=265991Well it's seems that it depends on whether I say something you guys agree with or not doesn't it.
I say something you like and all is good, I say something you don't like and I'm a troll. How very simple.

don't waste your money by buying any sd810 devices.There is absolutely nothing wrong with sd 810 devices like these.
In fact, they work like a charm, are fast, without lag or any overheat...
People should go for well balanced sd 810 devices like z5 series.
There is always an option to wait for better faster future SoC, but with that kind of thinking you can wait forever...

jazz, 01 Jan 2016Hey guys I want to buy this phone,but I also want to know about its heating issue and as well ... moreFingerprint sensor working fine Jazz..
If 3 attempts fail it will show a eazy number/password to unlock screen.
Wet fingers are harder to recognize (your finger grips are not traceable while wet)
or you can unlock as Iphone gives by entering 4 digit num
* While setting your finger phone will learn the area which is rubbed in the sensor.
we have to use the same areas to unlock which rubbed in the setting time.. (applicable to all fingerprint sensor phones)
