There's still overheating issue despite using the dual heat pipe?

1. weak battery if compare to Z3+.
2. camera looks great. somehow top left corner abit blur-ish. as mentioned by some users here.
3. screen looks ok. i find it on the dull side even i max the brightness.
4. ringtone i felt on soft side.
5. it get warm easily but z3+ not so easily heating.
6. i feels that the on/off button need to press hard and the sound is loud!
7. placement of vol buttons is weird.

The heat comes from playing games or other apps?

and never touch the phone also can get warm for no reason.

depends your needs.
are you a phone chaser who want the newest and latest or just want a good high end phone?

Did you install any battery apps to monitor the usage?

screen on time

nope. none.

What is SOT?

screen on time.
settings > battery usage > display/screen
it should be the first component on top as the screen of the phone consumes the most battery.
these days, many people based on this to determine the SOT is it good.
like playing games, should be okay if you can get 5hrs SOT throughout the 99% battery life.

for Sony UI, you can just create a shortcut on the homescreen to access the battery usage.

 

[haylui]

nope. none.

Maybe you can install battery app and see where the power goes.
I guess usually screen consume a lot of power during normal usage.

I read a review from Taiwan, the reviewer shared that z5 battery life is about comparable to z3 with android 5.0.1 minus 2-4 hours

this guy compared macro/close up indoor shots of his old Nexus 5 and his new Z5 Compact. interesting comparison for those who like to take indoor shots

skipping those devices that came with lollipop preinstalled. KitKat so far has the best battery.
hopefully the upcoming marshmallow is as good.
up till now, z3 ,Z3 compact and Z3 tablet have the best battery.
SOT of almost 12hrs, 15hrs and 18hrs respectively. KitKat devices.

I guess people reviewing the phone should mention whether it is mostly on wifi or mobile data.

A lot of phones have battery draining issues with mobile data, running on lollipop version.

For the record in Sony phones, with the same display size it will be Z3 and follow by Z2.
