User Reviews
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.
- Small and powerful
- It's a heater!
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.
- fast
- good camera (until it works)
- so slippery, it is not safe to hold in one hand
- barely survived two years
- good example of how a single design flaw can completely ruin the customer experience
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..
- When it works it´s a good phone
- Crashes all the time
- Crashes even more after updated too Marshmellow 6.0
- Never buying SONY again
- Not good for close up pictures
- LG G2 is a better phone
