Sony Xperia Z5 release date and price
The Sony Xperia Z5 release date in the US is February 7. Sony announced the release via Facebook, stating that Amazon, Best Buy and B&H would all be stocking the device. It will be available as an unlocked device, supporting only GSM networks.
Its price is set at US$599.99, making it a rather high-end purchase.
Bizarrely, Sony has decided to ditch the fingerprint scanner on the US devices. All we know so far is that it was a "business decision".
We've reached out to Sony for further comment, and we will update this page with more information
as we receive it.
Sony Xperia Z5 design and build quality
At first glance, the back of the Xperia Z5 looks like it's made from metal, but it is actually frosted matte glass. This looks good but also makes it smooth and very slippery. The sides of the phone are slippier still. The edges of the phone – where the sides meet the front and the back – are slightly but significantly pronounced.
These raised edges do at least give you something to grip onto, but they also accumulate grit and grime. They also like to snag your hair, both above your ear and, if you have a beard, on the side of your chin, which can get annoying.
Despite these peculiar design choices, the Xperia Z5 is the best-looking Xperia device yet. It stays true to Sony's Omnibalance design but boasts some subtle improvements. The Xperia Z5 is very well put together, with Gorilla Glass 4 on the front and back, an aluminum frame and rubber bumpers on the corners to help absorb shock if the phone is dropped.
Sony released a pink version of the Xperia Z5 on January 12, 2016. The release came later in the phone's lifecycle, potentially as a drawcard for potential buyers who prefer a more eye-catching color to the frosted glass and metal design.
The Xperia Z5 is also dustproof and waterproof (it has an IP rating of IP68, which means it is dust-tight and protected against continued immersion in more than 1 m of fresh water), although you should observe Sony's advice regarding water-resistance on Xperia devices.
The Xperia Z5 measures 146 x 72 x 7.5 mm, but fits comfortably in your hand. The buttons for volume, camera shutter and power are all located on the right-hand side of the phone. The power button, which was circular on the Z3, is now pill-shaped, and also houses a fingerprint scanner.
The left-hand side of the device now has a stamped Xperia logo at the bottom and a flap at the top, under which you'll find the nano-SIM card slot. This slot also provides access for microSD card expansion (up to 200 GB).
The top edge has a headphone port and a pinhole mic. The bottom features an uncovered USB 2.0 port and a small loop for attaching a lanyard. Considering the Z5's waterproof rating, it's a little surprising that there's only one water-resistant flap (older Xperia models had up to three), but Sony now treats its ports with a water-resistant coating to prevent short circuits, which is why the charging and headphone ports are uncovered.
On the front of the Xperia Z5, there's a subtle Sony logo up the top, with a proximity sensor and the front-facing camera (with a 5.1 MP Sony Exmor sensor) on either side of it. The upper edge of the display glass features a barely discernible speaker cut-out. The Z5 has another speaker grill at the bottom of the display, providing stereo sound.
The layout on the back of the phone is the same as ever, with the 23 MP main camera in the top left-hand corner and a single LED flash beneath it.
Sony Xperia Z5 display
The Xperia Z5 display is a Full HD 5.2-inch IPS LCD with a pixel density of 428 pixels per inch. While the blacks are not as deep as those found on an OLED display, the Xperia Z5 handles dark colors very well and offers excellent viewing angles.
Using the brightness slider, you can turn the display brightness up high enough to operate the phone even in strong light, natural or otherwise. On the other end of the scale, you can drop the brightness low enough to comfortably read in bed at night without blinding yourself.
The Xperia Z5 display also excels in color reproduction and sharpness. It may not have the 4K chops of the Z5 Premium, but for Full HD resolution, the Z5 looks nice and crisp. There is a smart control option for managing the backlight and you can stop the phone from going to sleep while you're holding the phone.
There are also image enhancement options called X-Reality and Super-vivid mode, which are used for increasing sharpness and saturation when viewing photos and video. Glove Mode makes a comeback and you can also make use of the 'double tap to wake' function.
