Customers admire the Xperia Z5 Compact for its excellent camera, compact size, and water-resistant capabilities. The long battery life is also a plus. However, some users have concerns about the screen brightness and overheating issues.
I loved the phone, but the screen completely shattered after a minor drop. I have had about a dozen Sony phones, including the Sony Xperia Z, Z3 Compact and this Z5 Compact. Never have I cracked a screen. I'm sure it's the phone.

Another stellar Sony product. Water proof & dust proof. Glass front and back. 200+ giga bites of external memory, and with a built-in FM stereo radio, 23 mega pixel camera. and the best part of this product is the automatic system updates from Sony, already on Nougat 7.1.1, looking forward to Oreo.

I love Sony phones since I purchased my first one a few years ago. I was very excited to get this new version even tho I hadn't had my z1 compact long. I didn't know if there woukd be much difference with the phones released not too long from each other. Omg am I impressed with just how much more this phone can do! It's the same size but all white where the z1 had the little doors to open in silver. This version has one water tight door that houses the sim and SD card. The power button is located in the same spot but recessed so it doesn't get pushed accidentally. The battery lasts far longer. There came very few apps on the phone and it is super fast. The options and ability to work with more devices I was surprised to see as well. One neat little option in settings is an option to unlock the bootloader which normally you have to go through a hassle to get. Little extras like this are fantastic and I am so very very happy with my purchase! I haven't bought a SmartWatch yet altho I've had my eye on the Sony one of course. Apparently the 4 will b a great addition to this z5 compact so I can't wait to make that jump when it comes out because I know this phone will be amazing with it. The sound is fantastic! The z1 speakers were lacking compared to the past Sony phones I owned so I was hoping this phone woukd b better and it is amazing as a Sony be. Very much recommend this powerful beautiful phone that fits perfectly in ur pocket.
