Sony Xperia Z5 Premium

Sony's Xperia Z5 comes alongside the Xperia Z5 Compact and the Xperia Z5 Premium. The Xperia Z5 sits in the middle of the price scale and the same goes for its specs.

In the UK, it's had a pre-release price drop on Sony's official store, from the original listing of £599 (about AU$1,249) to £549 (about AU$1,144). That original price may have been a placeholder, but it seems more likely to be a revision of strategy as it tries to land in a very congested flagship smartphone market.

In the US, there's been no official price drop, since this GSM-only phone still costs $599 through several retail channels. But you can find it for $539 on Amazon. Just don't go looking for a subsidized deal at Verizon or AT&T, because Sony launched this phone without carrier store support.

Sony Xperia Z5
There's a lot of hope resting on the Xperia Z5, but there's a lot to be excited about with a new design, extra features and some other major improvements along the way.

Design

Sony Xperia Z5
Sony needed to fix up the design of its Xperia Z series and there have been some big changes this time. It's still angular and glass-backed, but this time it's a frosted material instead of the clear glass we've seen on every iteration since the Xperia Z1.

The edges have been rounded off a little more and the placement of the buttons on one edge has been switched.

Colour choices for the Xperia Z5 are green, black, gold and white – all of which look great, although the gold version in the most refined. I had the black and gold versions in for my review. Previously the backs of Sony phones have been fingerprint magnets, but this new frosted glass shrugs off marks and looks a lot classier from behind than the Xperia Z3+.

The branding is a little more tasteful this time. The Xperia name is etched into the side of the phone and I love the fact Sony has included the NFC logo here too. It makes it easy to know where to tap, and is a trick some other Android manufacturers could learn from (I'm looking at you, LG).

The camera sits at the top left corner with the flash just below it, and there's also a little note of the sensor details.

Sony has smoothed down the edges on the Xperia Z5 as well. A couple of generations ago, these felt rather sharp on the palm of your hand, so this is a welcome improvement. Even though the design of the Xperia Z5 still feels blocky, it's much more comfortable to hold than the Xperia Z2.

The corners also have caps that help to absorb the impact when you drop it – a feature that was introduced on the Xperia Z3 but still feels like a big advantage of the Sony Z series.

There's only one flap on the Xperia Z5, and that's to cover the microSD and nano SIM slots. The rest of the ports around the phone are waterproof and so don't need the extra protection that Sony has applied with such zeal to earlier phones.

Fewer flaps is a great thing – you don't have the nuisance of pulling them out to charge up your phone at night or need to worry about breaking them off (which does happen: I managed to do it quite easily to the Xperia Z2 Tablet).

Along the top edge of the Xperia Z5 is the waterproof 3.5mm headphone jack, and the bottom edge hosts the microUSB port for charging and data transfer.

The right hand edge is quite different to other Xperia phones. The power button has been moved down to halfway along the edge. It's now silver and sits flush with the edge of the phone. This is also where the fingerprint sensor is – a great position for your right thumb when you're holding the phone. Sadly, the Sony Xperia Z5 in US any sort of the biometric power button.

Down at the bottom of the right hand edge is the camera button. It's in the perfect position for taking snaps in landscape, but not so good in portrait. Between those two is the volume rocker, and this really does feel badly positioned.

The volume rocker should sit above the power button, where it would be easier to reach. Every time I tried to change the volume, I'd lose my grip and the phone would almost slip out of my hand.

If you're left-handed it might be a perfect position for your finger tips, although the rest of the button layout will be much less satisfactory.

Design on the front of the phone hasn't changed much. The bezels at the side of the screen have been slightly slimmed down to allow a smaller phone without a change in screen size.

Sony Xperia Z5
I wouldn't have a problem with the thick bezels across the top and bottom of the screen if each housed speakers or had some other function. The top bar does include the front facing camera, flash and earpiece, but it's not anything that couldn't be included in a slimmer line.

Sony Xperia X Performance smartphone

Sony Xperia X Performance phone.

If you need another reminder that Sony is hurting in mobile, just take a look at the Xperia X Performance. It's the most powerful version of the electronics giant's new phone lineup, but rather than a full-fledged successor to the Xperia Z5 (itself a mid-range entry), it's more of a half-hearted attempt at staying relevant. But if you want the fastest Sony phone around, it's also your only option.

The Xperia X Performance is the most intriguing of Sony's new X lineup with its Snapdragon 820 processor, waterproof case, and 3GB of RAM. The base Xperia X only has a Snapdragon 650 processor, and the Xperia XA is even worse off with a MediaTekHelio P10 chip (along with lower specs all around). But, unfortunately, it's only rocking a 5-inch, 1080p screen, which is 0.2-inches smaller than the Z5 (as well as the same resolution). And while its 23 megapixel rear camera and 13 megapixel front-facing camera sound impressive, they're also the same sensors we got last year. Of course, we also loved the Z5's screen and camera, so perhaps Sony didn't need to change much after all.

Specs aside, the X5 Premium feels pretty great. At 8.7 millimeters thick, it's noticeably chunkier than the 7.1 millimeter thick iPhone 6S, but that also gives it a solid feel that I've grown to miss as flagship phones got thinner and thinner. And as always with Sony phones, its metal case gives it a decidedly premium feel. It's a phone that feels like it can withstand a few drops without falling apart, but at the same time it feels luxurious in your hand.

While it seems like the Xperia Z line is pretty much dead, Sony tells us it'll stick around at least until the summer. It's unclear if we'll actually see a new Z model this year, which means the Xperia X Performance is your best choice if you want the fastest Sony phone around. If you're looking for an even bigger and better screen though, along with improved battery life, theZ5 Premium is still worth considering.

About HP

HP is an American multinational information technology corporation headquartered in Palo Alto, California, United States. It specializes in developing and manufacturing computing, data storage, and networking hardware, designing software and delivering services. HP is one of the world's top PC makers. The company's printers and cartridges are a also big part of its business.

All told, that's a pretty solid package. And from HP! Who knew? Really, though, it's the productivity angle that's most puzzling. The Elite X3 is meant as a business-only machine, sold in fleets to both tiny and corporate IT departments, and the lapdock (technically the "mobile extender") is a way to turn a phone into a full-blown work machine. The extender is supposed to come with a 48Wh battery and a 12.5-inch diagonal screen, along with a full-size keyboard and trackpad. If you're really itching to hunker down and work, there's a dock, too, which basically just lets you route video from the phone to a bigger display for universal apps.
