This isn't the first you hear of this, we're sure, and you know that the editorial team at PhoneArena tends to favor real world performance over synthetic scores from benchmarks.

Since we're limited in terms of what we can do whilst on the show floor at IFA 2015, we only had option C at our disposal — to test and compare app launch times between Sony's brand-new Xperia Z5 and the Android juggernaut that is the Samsung Galaxy S6.
So which is faster? The answer lies right below, so do take a look!
