Looks nice!
But my Fiancée preferred Ringke Fusion cos I get 1 Z5 Green for her too last nite. So both of is getting Ringke Fusion.

Another qn, does any of u apply screen protector at the back (normal or Tempered glass).

We tried Tempered Glass, the area where the SONY words are, doesnt sit flat/flushed. Then we tried normal SP, same or look even worst. So we decided not to use back screen protector.

I have used dbrand skins on my phones and currently on my pebble as well.
Good durable skins that are easy to apply at a fair price!

Any lost their flash light shortcut on their active quick? I remember last Thursday night I still have it but just found out its gone. I went to the setting and it's there at the first icon to display. But after that when I pull down from the top I can only see the 2nd shortcut icon and not the first one. This also happen on my lock screen.

Hi, is it normal that the Z5 heatup quote fast after like 5-10mins of using?
I'm jus surfing on Facebook or Internet only but phone gets quite hot.
What abt battery life? Same usage as before but can't last me 1 day.
At most by 6pm, I left ard 40%. Used to be ard 50~60% when I'm using Z2.
Pls advise.

Thank you in advance.

Heating issue is quite common on this model. However, unless I'm playing some graphics intensive games, or watching videos at max brightness with full volume, it doesn't get anywhere uncomfortable. The phone does get toasty when I do the above-mentioned activities though.

As for battery life, I think it's pretty decent considering the amount of stuff I do with my phone. The 2-day battery life is nonsense unless you don't do much except the occasional text and call. I find myself charging the phone 1-2 times a day, with constant usage throughout. However, if you need to preserve the battery for some emergency calls or text, I find it holds up really well.

They removed it in the latest update. But even without stamina mode the battery is good for moderate use la. I'm considered a heavy user.

Oh yeah, forgot that Sony removed the Stamina mode on the Android 6.0 update, but there's still the Doze mode I think.

I downloaded the Doze app. havent really explore it though.
So far I only use the Doze app when i off the screen.
Still monitoring the batt life though as phone is still consider relatively new (Renewed on last Wed).
Hopefully after 1 week of using, batt life will improve after the "burn-in" period, if they have such things.. lol

anybody using white or green? are the back fingerprint magnet if don't put case?

Back is frosted glass, so won't attract as much fingerprint. On the downside though, doesn't feel as smooth.

I suggest you put a transparent casing if you wanna keep the phone looking raw like me, because the rear camera isn't square with the phone (protrudes out a little) and you may risk scratching that if you put it in your pocket or leave it on a flat surface.

Cheapo one la I think, $10. I don't really care for brands one haha. Of all my years using phones, this is the first time I'm using a casing, only because I love this phone too much and intend to use it for long. Otherwise I usually go without screen protector and casing. I want my phone as raw as possible.

If you want something unique and eye-catching, and the price is alright, I'd say get the Z5 Premium in Silver or Sakura. The reflective back is really super duper chio IMO. But then the glass at the back is a fingerprint magnet. No issues if you put on a case. It'd make the phone less shiny though haha.

Was using the z5 premium chrome previously. That size too big for my hand to stretch.
Deciding the colour to get for z5 now.
