Sony Xperia Z5 Compact Specs

Description

Sony Xperia Z5 Compact is a no-compromise compact phone that features the top of the line Snapdragon 810 system chip and the ultra-fast 23-megapixel Exmor RS camera that the Xperia Z5 family has. The Z5 Compact sports a 4.6-inch 720 x 1280 pixel (HD) display and is actually narrower than phones like the iPhone 6, but it's also a fairly bulky phone. We're happy to see that it also packs a fingerprint scanner built in the side positioned lock screen.

This device is also known as Sony E5803, Sony E5823

It's the worst phone I've ever had.
Phone owned for less than a year

Even when I'm not using it, it gets very hot; because of this, the battery runs out quickly. Headphone jack has a false contact, making it impossible to make calls without headphone aids. It is very annoying that such an expensive phone has such a poor performance.

the most slippery material in existence put in a WRONG use
Phone owned for more than a year

I had Xperia Z5 compact for 2 years. My wife had Z3 at the same time, a phone almost this annoying.

These phones are the masterpieces of planned obsolescence, they barely survived the two years contract they come attached with. I will never buy a Sony phone ever again.

Almost forgot - I was searching for a protective case for this model for months, without success, which makes a beautiful harmony with the beyond-imagination-slippery chassis material.

For the record, problems at age 24 months:
- Camera stopped working months ago, making all applications using camera freeze immediately.
- Screen goes blank when taking or starting call and stays blank until the other party hungs up. You can not stop the call. You can not use the phone. Z3 had exactly the same problem.
- Home, back, app buttons stopped working, rendering the phone completely useless.
- I've spent ~2000$ on repairs (how extremely stupid of me)
- No water touched the phone, but its front panel was loose, dust could go in.

The best crashing phone ever
Phone owned for less than a year

I regret buying this SONY smartphone. Z5 compact keeps crashing all the time. And even more after I updated to Marshmellow 6.0. My former LG G2 was a better phone. LG G2 toke better macro photos. And you only have battery life for half a day..
