Sony, after its last flagship, for a long time could not figure out what exactly its successor should be: with a certain frequency, the Japanese released new devices, but they just turned out to be improved versions of the Z3 for some local markets, or something else. And now it finally happened, last fall, Sony presented its new top-end smartphone - the Xperia Z5.

Video

Appearance

In principle, Sony's new flagship smartphone does not have any very large-scale differences from previous versions(as, for example, it was the case with the iPhone 5s and iPhone 6). You can notice some nuances, but they are minimal. The front and back of the Xperia Z5 is covered with protected glass, and on the sides there is real aluminum. By the way, this very glass at the back is somehow interestingly polished, so there is no point in being afraid that the gadget will slip out of your hands.

There are no issues with assembly at all. But this was to be expected: the flagship, and even the body, as expected, is not collapsible. All slots are hidden under a cover on the left side. If you want more details, then there is a place for SIM cards and for a memory card. It is very good that the plug sits well, so it will not be able to open by accident.

The main feature of most Sony smartphones is also available in the Z5 - the phone is protected according to the IP68 standard. That is, it is not afraid of moisture and dust. The USB connector and audio output are not covered by anything. But this is already a common thing for secure smartphones. It is also worth paying tribute to the Japanese engineers who made special inserts on the smartphone that take a hit on themselves when they fall. Although it is clearly not worth abusing it. The device is still glass.

In the middle of the right side there is a lock button, which also works as a fingerprint scanner. A little lower is the volume rocker. Again, not the most convenient location for this particular button. Many people explain this arrangement by the fact that when shooting underwater, when the phone is in horizontal orientation, it is much more convenient to adjust the zoom. But, firstly, you and I adjust the sound on land much more often than we choose the scale of the video underwater, and secondly, if you go to the official Sony website, you can see a warning that the Z5 will survive a walk in the rain without any problems or wash under the tap, but do not completely immerse it in water! That's how things are, yes.

There is also a slightly weak move of the lock key, but this is just a matter of habit, and after a few days you don’t even notice it all. As for the fingerprint scanner built in here, it works adequately, but if your hands are wet or just damp, there will be problems.

There are also stereo speakers on the front of the Z5. They are quite loud, but due to the protection against moisture and dust, the sound is not as good as we would like. The main thing is that you will definitely hear the call. And just a few more words about color options. It's cool when a flagship device is sold not only in white or black. In the case of the Xperia Z5, there is also gold and dark green - that's how we have it in our review now. But for Sony, this is already quite normal practice.

In general, outwardly the smartphone is beautiful, and it will be quite convenient to use it. If you used another Sony smartphone, then you won’t even have to retrain. If the phone is from another company, you will need to practice for several days.

Display

The screen here is 5.2-inch with Full HD resolution. Viewing angles, of course, are at a decent level (maximum), and everything is in order with other parameters: high maximum brightness and good contrast. Matrix - IPS. When describing the Z5 display, Sony uses different pathetic words: TRILUMINOS, X-Reality Engine, Live Color and so on. In general, it is very cool that here the resolution is Full HD. After all, this is quite enough for normal operation - 424 PPI. Oleophobic coating is also available. And enough quality, so the screen does not collect fingerprints.

For the "boys who came to success" Sony also has a Z5 Premium with a 4K screen. But here choose what is more convenient for you.

Camera Features

The main camera here is 23-megapixel. The new Exmor RS3 sensor with f/2.0 aperture is used. And the first thing that catches your eye is a very fast autofocus. In official documents, we are talking about three hundredths of a second, but it is clear that in reality a lot also depends on other parameters (lighting, for example). The pictures are good: clear and with natural colors.

An acceptable result can be obtained when shooting at night, but the Galaxy S6 or G4 still produces more interesting photos in low light.

Photo examples

Movie example

Video can be recorded up to 4K at 30 frames per second. There is also Full HD at 60 frames and Slow-Mo 720p at 120 frames. In the settings you can choose manual mode, but there are not very many settings. You can also find a bunch of different jokes for selfies, dozens of filters, shooting panoramas, super auto mode, in which the software selects all the parameters for you, and everything is in this style. There is also an effect virtual reality, but this is rather just a toy, there is no practical use for it.

By the way, as for selfies, the front camera here is 5-megapixel, and even wide-angle. Therefore, all your friends will fit in the frame. Just to do this, you first need to start them! In general, the cameras here seem to be good, but quite ordinary. They take great photos, but there are better ones out there.

Characteristics

One of the most powerful solutions of last year, the Snapdragon 810 chip, is used here as a processor. Does it heat up? Well, let's say not as much as many might expect. During normal operation, everything is fine. Internet, mail, messages, calls - there are no problems with this. The phone doesn't even get warmer. But if you stick to some demanding toys for several hours in a row, then his temperature can rise to 45 degrees.

The Adreno 430 accelerator is responsible for the graphics here. Paired with 3 GB of RAM, the smartphone easily copes with all powerful tasks. All games run at maximum settings: Asphalt 8, Dead Trigger 2 and so on. In WoT, of course, you will have to reduce your graphic requirements a little, but this is quite normal. For example, in Epic Citadel Xperia Z5 produces approximately 55-56 frames per second, and in AnTuTu it gains a different number of “parrots” each time, but on average 65-70 thousand parrots.

As for performance, everything is fine with it. The system is not only fast, but also stable. This, of course, cannot but rejoice.

Software

operating room android system here is version 5.1.1, and it will (as soon as possible) be updated to 6.0. Above, of course, the developers installed a proprietary shell. In Z5, outwardly, it has not changed much when compared with previous devices: icons have been redrawn in some places and a couple of useless elements from the menu have been cut out. Given the presence of 3 GB of RAM, it all works quite quickly and without brakes. They also removed various slag, leaving only the most necessary applications and their proprietary services.

On the whole, in terms of software the smartphone is almost completely suitable for use on the principle of "Turn on and work."

autonomy

The battery here is set to 2900 mAh. Initially, it may seem that this will not be enough for normal and long work. But in practice, everything is different. lives Sony Xperia Z5 day with a fairly active mode of use: music, mail, video, social media, Internet, calls and even an hour and a half you can still play. In addition to all this, of course, it is worth adding a power saving mode, which can easily increase these figures.

The only thing is that when shooting video in 4K, the phone bursts just before our eyes. It takes just over an hour to fully charge the battery, given the presence of Quick Charge 2.0 technology.

Eventually

Of course, there are things in the smartphone that you will have to get used to (for example, the placement of the control keys). But these are all trifles ... The Xperia Z5 has a high-quality display, good assembly, powerful hardware and simply excellent autonomy. Plus two more sims! True, the whole thing costs 720 dollars. And here it is already necessary to proceed from whether we are ready to spend such an amount now. The camera in a smartphone may not be as great as we would like, but it is still one of the best on the market. And you can't argue with that. In general, the Sony Xperia Z5 is a cool device that you can want!

Recall that when testing battery life All power-saving features have been disabled. For everyday use, it's best to leave Stamina Mode enabled. If you don't watch videos or play heavy games, you can expect two days of battery life, but in a more intensive format, the battery of the Xperia Z5 easily lasts for a day of work. You don’t even have to carry a charging cable and power bank with you.

findings

It is very difficult to find pronounced flaws in the Sony Xperia Z5. Outwardly, it is impeccable - high-quality materials, perfect assembly, original finish. After the Z3, it was inconvenient for me to use the volume key - now it is too low, but this is a very conditional minus, rather a matter of habit. On the forums, users complain about the screen, they say the flagship in 2015 is not supposed to have Full HD, but at least a QHD screen. But in my opinion, Sony solved this problem in the best way. For those who need a high resolution screen, there is a separate model - Xperia Z5 Premium. And in general, 1080p is enough for comfortable work and to achieve a good balance between convenience, performance and autonomy.

Sony has been on the market for many years and many users have fallen in love with its solutions since the time of cooperation with the Ericsson brand, when high-quality and popular models were produced. This time, the developers have released the Xperia Z5, the world's first phone capable of capturing 4K video and taking high-quality pictures.

Advantageous differences of Sony Xperia Z5 mobile phones

The Xperia Z5 model differs from its predecessors not only in appearance, but also with a fingerprint scanner built into the on / off key and an improved main camera. And although the body of the phone turned out to be a little thicker than that of the Z3 + model, its main advantages are still a high-quality screen, simultaneous operation of two SIM cards and microSD, as well as reliable dust and moisture protection. In addition to external changes, the advantageous differences of this device include a convenient fingerprint scanner, fast autofocus in the main camera, great sound and a proprietary shell consisting of its own system application icons.

This article is about Sony Xperia Z5 Premium. It was presented at the end of 2015. Consider its characteristics, design, cost and reviews.

Short description

As already clear, the well-known company Sony Mobile became the manufacturer. The smartphone entered the Xperia Z series. The exact release date is September 2, 2015. It went on sale in October. The initial cost is 50 thousand rubles. The model is a monoblock with dimensions of 15.4 ×, × 0.7 cm. The Sony Xperia Z5 Premium smartphone weighs a little, only 170 grams. Works for operating system"Android" version 5.1. Available 3 GB of RAM. Drives up to 200 GB can be used. Flash memory is 32 GB. The battery is rather weak, only 3500 mAh. The screen is 4K quality. The main camera received a resolution of 23 megapixels, while the front one - only 5 megapixels.

Smartphone features

Smartphone Sony Xperia Z5 Premium has unique features that justify such a high price. This model is recognized as the first in the world to receive a display resolution of 3840 × 2160 pix (4K). At the same time, the pixel density is 806.

The body of the phone is made of steel. Other models from this manufacturer use aluminum as the base material. The power button is also a fingerprint scanner. Their recognition is carried out by the device using ultrasound. It allows you to create a three-dimensional form of a print (3D).

Smartphone Sony Xperia Z5 Premium received protection from dust and moisture. But at the same time, one of the connectors is not equipped with a plug, which is not entirely clear to consumers.

Short story

Before the smartphone was announced, there were already a lot of rumors about it, some of them were real information leaks. Then it became clear what the approximate design would be and appearance Sony Xperia Z5 Premium devices. Characteristics and name were also known.

The announcement, which was made in September 2015, concerned not only the described model, but also the related Z5, Z5 Compact. There they gave approximate cost and date of commencement of sales.

Specifications

The smartphone works thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor. The graphics core is Adreno 430.

The screen received a diagonal of 5.5 inches. Resolution - 4K. Camera Sony Xperia Z5 Premium, whose characteristics are impressive, has optical stabilization, autofocus, flash. Frequency of videos shot with this smartphone, is 30 frames per second.

The screen supports multi-touch. The processor works with 8 cores, a frequency of 2.2 GHz. The smartphone supports 2 SIM cards, which must be cut to the nano format. Built-in modules "bluetooth", wireless Internet, radio. Supported by GPS and Glonass. There are several sensors. We are talking about systems of lighting, movement, approximation. Built-in pedometer, fingerprint scanner, compass, barometer.

Software

The phone runs on Android, as already mentioned above. The interface is not standard, but basic for Xperia UI.

In order to view videos on the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium (the review will allow you to understand all the delights of this phone) in maximum quality, namely 4K, it is necessary that the picture has this resolution. If it is worse, then you can use the built-in function that allows you to increase this indicator. If you wish, you can save some video frames shot on the described smartphone in 8 MP resolution.

The manufacturer said that the phone is able to work two days without recharging with average use. This is achieved through the work special program, which saves the resources of the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium. Review and customer reviews will make it clear whether to buy this smartphone. It must be said that the built-in system that supports fast charging is appreciated by many users.

Changing parameters

The smartphone is sold in several colors: white, gold and black. All three models have the same screen bezels, which are painted in a dark shade.

Internal Sony memory Xperia Z5 Premium Dual (reviews allow us to conclude that it is quite enough for normal use) is 32 GB, this has already been described above. It can be increased by using a memory card. The maximum size is 200 GB. This is quite enough to fully use the resources of the phone.

Equipment

The box that comes with the smartphone is white. It looks like several "baths". The box received dimensions that allow the phone to fully occupy the length and width of the package. Under the smartphone Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Dual (reviews on the configuration are positive) are Charger, cable and instructions for use. The headset must be purchased separately. Each item is packed in an individual box.

Appearance

The phone has a design that is designed to impress everyone. The housing of the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium (customer reviews help to understand that consumers really like the external design) is made of high-strength glass, which ensures resistance to mechanical stress. A side is installed along the edges of the phone. It is available not only on the front side, but also on the back panel. On the first one, he plays the role of a protector from unnecessary and accidental "taps". And due to its presence on the back, a one-piece design was obtained. The case of the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium (reviews about it confirm all the advantages) is made non-separable. The decision to create it as such came after setting the goal of building a phone that would be waterproof.

The memory card and SIM card must be inserted into the slots located on one of the sides under the cover. It is hermetic, which gives a guarantee of protection against dust and water. "Swing" to adjust the volume is located on the right side, in its lower part. Under it is a button responsible for the operation of the camera. In the center of the side is the power button of the device, which also became a fingerprint scanner.

A little strange, however, the headphone jack and charging cord are not protected from moisture and water. The company, responding to this remark, assured that even if debris or liquid gets into the ports, they do not penetrate into the device itself. Accordingly, the connectors continue to work normally after getting wet. By the way, the headphone port is on the edge on the top edge, for charging - in the center on the bottom. The same situation is with speakers. They are located on the front of the phone along the ends. There is a protective mesh through which moisture, of course, will pass, but it will not get deeper, in any case, the manufacturer says so. In addition, the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium smartphone also has a hole for a cord, which is so lacking in many devices (according to users).

Ergonomics

The described smartphone against the background of other devices of this manufacturer can really seem like a giant. No matter how long the buyer's fingers are, he will not be able to reach the opposite corner without interception. For the convenience of dialing, you can install auxiliary programs that facilitate this action and allow you to do it with one hand. However, you will have to search and select it yourself, because the manufacturer did not consider it necessary to install standard software. The case has polished and rounded corners. If you hold the smartphone for them, then there is a risk of dropping it. This is confirmed by the reviews. In them, consumers complain about too much slipperiness. Taking the phone by the margins near the screen, which are unrealistically small, is not recommended by any of the buyers. Because in this case, the "touch" panel will work. On the fields located above and below the screen, the manufacturer would have “recouped”, as they are quite wide. And these places are empty.

Smartphone Sony Xperia Z5 Premium has a very small thickness - 8 mm. The main camera is located on rear case in the top corner. It is installed in such a way that it does not stick out and does not create a feeling of "pot-belliedness". An additional advantage can be noted: there is a good opportunity to shoot both vertically and horizontally. The risk of blocking the lens with your fingers is so low that it is practically non-existent. Due to the fact that there are glass inserts on the phone, you still need to handle it with care and, if possible, do not drop it.

The cover of the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Dual, which covers the compartment with a SIM card and a memory card, opens quite easily. It is impossible to lose it, as it is fixed thanks to a small "tail". Cards are installed in a special "tray" that slides out.

Due to the fact that all the buttons have a non-standard position, it will take too long to get used to their location. The reviews say that after remembering which key is which, using the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Dual phone becomes the most enjoyable process. All of them are pressed easily and without much effort, which is an additional plus. The power button has a low landing, which completely eliminates its accidental pressing.

Screen

The screen fully justifies all the shortcomings of this phone. Smartphone Sony Xperia Z5 Premium E6883, also known as Dual, is recognized as the first to take full advantage of 4K quality. Although phones with this resolution have already appeared before, in the described one it is possible to shoot video in this resolution. The frame density reaches 806 ppi, which is considered a huge indicator. However, 4K mode is not always active. Read more about this below.

The display's color reproduction and viewing angles are really impressive. They are excellent. Moreover, the manufacturer allowed the consumer to adjust the white balance himself and change the image quality, which concerns filmed video and the photo taken. Thanks to the described system, all shades seem more saturated and bright, the borders of all objects are sharp. The color gamut of the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Dual (E6883) is much larger than that of its counterparts.

The backlight brightness is also adjustable. Moreover, there is both a manual setting and an automatic one. The brightness range is quite extensive, but this does not prevent the reflection of the surrounding world on the screen in bright sunlight.

The sensor is good, "tapas" can be done both with fingers and gloves. To do this with the help of the latter, you must activate a special function. Recognition of 10 simultaneous touches is available.

Interface

The Sony Xperia Z5 Premium phone runs on Android. The smartphone received the basic shell of the series and a minimum of additional functions. Among the latter, it is necessary to note the backlight control. One of the available systems determines where the phone is located - in the hands of the user or on the table. With the second option, the smartphone is blocked quickly, with the first - for a long time. However, reviews make it clear that this system is intermittent.

Another one additional function, which has a smartphone Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Dual, allows you to answer calls by bringing the device to your ear. Deviation is carried out by shaking. It has long been possible to install a similar program on any phone, but here it is built-in, so there is a chance to guarantee its good work.

The third utility is designed to search for a device in case of loss, as well as to remote access. With it, you can erase data on your smartphone.

The working process

The Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Dual Black is powered by a powerful processor. It is made up of two modules, each with four cores. Frequency - 2 GHz. Since the phone is available in two forms, the processor architecture reaches 1.5 GHz in a more economical model. RAM- 3 GB, which is enough to ensure that the phone does not slow down, and the games work perfectly.

The interface and its elements function clearly and without failures. The reaction to "taps" is instantaneous, the animation is on high level. Even heavy games, such as Asphalt 8, work perfectly at maximum settings.

When it comes to the graphics module, you immediately want to ask if the phone is overheating? Even with a sufficiently high load, the temperature of the smartphone does not increase. Reviews confirm this. The built-in heat distribution system works as efficiently as possible.

The fingerprint scanner works great. However, in order for the system to remember the "master", you will have to put your hand more than 10 times.

Video decoding, if necessary, always works flawlessly. However, there is a small problem. All applications and games that run on the phone work in Full HD quality. When the user enters the photo, video view mode, the screen activates 4K resolution. The incident occurs when creating a screenshot. It is made in 1920 × 1080 pix quality. Therefore, the question arises, does the 4K mode always work, or are these some kind of failures? The manufacturer does not respond to this claim. You can watch videos in high definition on special TVs that support 4K quality.

The speakers at the output give the most clear and loud sound. There are no wheezes. All sounds are played in stereo.

Camera

Camera Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Black received excellent resolution. 23 Mr is a really good indicator. In order to get 4K quality, you need to take a photo or record a video in a resolution of more than 8 MP. These are the settings the camera has by default. The interface of this menu is quite simple, there is nothing superfluous. There is a button to switch between shooting modes, all other nuances can be adjusted in the "Settings".

The main mode, which allows you to take photos, is called "intelligent". He himself "understands" what a person is shooting, and automatically selects the optimal settings. As a rule, the definition of what you need is correct, but you can find fault with the quality of the photo. Judging by the reviews, the white balance drops quite often, and the brightness range is too small. If you wish, you can go to the menu and set everything up manually. However, for those who like to work with automatic options, this will be inconvenient.

The camera works perfectly if the resolution is at a minimum of 8 MP. With an increase in this indicator, the sensor loses sensitivity.

The front camera is worse than the main one, but the quality of the resulting image is, in principle, tolerable. For shooting video, special software stabilization works.

findings

The described phone received the best characteristics that were "collected" from other devices of the same brand. This smartphone has almost no competitors. That is why the manufacturer set the price as he wanted. In Russia, it ranges from 50 to 60 thousand rubles. Is it completely justified? Everyone decides for himself. First of all, this device will be of interest to those who love quality and want to stay up to date with new products.

The advantage of the smartphone can be called a screen with a resolution of 4K, a powerful processor, an excellent camera and water resistance. Of the minuses - too slippery corners and a non-removable cover.

Overall, the design and ergonomics are impressive. Reviews of people are filled with positive emotions from using this phone. Some characteristics could be better for, frankly, a lot of money, but many of the advantages fully justify them. Moreover, each person decides for himself whether they suit him or not.
