[Xperia Z5 Compact General] hispanico957:
Price: price € 599 but is already at lower prices, I have bought at € 479 including shipping.

Aesthetics: here we lack the glassy and pure aesthetics of the little brother Z3C, but it is more user-friendly

Edges: using really good and the edges are perfect for its use

Key fingerprint sensor: a true MUST is super easy

Screen: display technology of adaptive contrast is very effective, adapting to the ambient brightness. In full sun or shade, the screen remains readable.

Applications: latest version of Android 5.1.1 and Lollipop usual bunch of pre-installed applications: Music, Videos, Xperia Lounge, etc., along with Facebook and 11 Google applications, but most of them can be uninstalled. The most important applications are Sony Socialife, LifeLog, Smart Connect and Xperia Lounge.

Radio: There is also a radio antenna for FM radio, which is easy to use and listening is good

Performance: The Compact Xperia Z5 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 64-bit processor (MSM8994) with four cores running at 1.5 GHz and four 2 GHz with Adreno 430 GPU. It has 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory and supports microSD cards up to 128 GB. It seems that Sony has learned from Z3 + and has done a great job of optimizing the operating system so that the hardware does not overheat, even launching many applications, I tried everything. The benchmarck I threw it does surpass almost every cell.

Audio: I would say good but not reach high volumes as I like it, certainly distorts everything

Camera: The camera is in fact a bomb has a 23 MP Exmor RS sensor and a super-fast autofocus of 0.03 seconds. Very bright colors, showing excellent contrast between light and dark. I made several pictures and I must say that is impressive. I also tried the manual settings, but those machines already give an excellent result. Exceptional auto-focus that automatically changes the focus of an image based on the proximity to the object ... of course you have to get used to. The video camera has a new function 'Image Stabilization ", which helps to reduce flicker of classic video handsets.

Battery: I have installed all the applications that I used before with the Z3C. I set the screen brightness to 70%. After 24 intense hours, with about six hours of screen-on, the battery had not been exhausted and still had 18% (estimated at about 5 hours) ... truly portentous battery! Present as the Z3C mode Sony Xperia Stamina and power saving mode ultra.

Final opinion:

Sony has provided the same CPU, GPU, camera and audio quality as a premium device in this "little one" and again I can say it is the best around. Battery life is the highlight.

Positives

✓ Compact

✓ Stereo Audio

✓ Fingerprint Sensor

✓ Can unistall bloatware app

Bad

✕ HD screen average

✕ Less "pure" than Z3C

✕ Expensive

To root and recovery will have to wait a while, because you can not use the exploit of kitkat and schedule type iroot or kingroot

The Z5C now has an option to check / uncheck OEM Unlock (bootloader). Tap several times on BuildNumber in 'phone' and then go to the options developer

It would seem that now has a chance to keep the key that opens the DRM after BL, although the family Z5 is not yet listed on the website of the developers of Sony, so I can not confirm .... Perhaps a new chapter is on the way... (thank to shafiq01)
