"Sony Z5": specifications and device overview

The new smartphone Z5 is a continuation of the top line from the Japanese manufacturer. The smartphone has turned out to be stylish, powerful and practical, and in some respects even ahead of its predecessors. Let's take a closer look at the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact, the characteristics of the mini-flagship and its design.

Housing

The plastic monolithic body is water resistant here, so do not be afraid to use the smartphone in rainy weather. The device can stay in the water for a while without any negative consequences. Users are free to choose one of several color options, among which red, sandy-yellow, black, white and coral. All options look great. The smartphone lies perfectly in the hand, does not slip and is extremely convenient to handle. So the developers have something to please the customers, since the aesthetic side is a clear advantage of the Sony Z5. Technical characteristics, however, also do not lag behind.

On the front panel, in addition to the display, housed the front camera, speaker, light and proximity indicator. There are no mechanical or touch keys on the front side.

On the right side of the device are buttons for volume control, camera activation, power and a sensor that detects fingerprints. Now the smartphone will be unlocked with a single touch.

From the left end there is a stub that hides the compartments for flash drives and SIM cards. From the top there is a 3.5 mm headset jack and an additional microphone, and from below there is a main microphone and a connector for micro-USB for synchronizing the smartphone with a computer or charging. We note that the device supports the function of fast and wireless charging. On the back case there is a camera and a flash.

The overall dimensions of the device are 127 x 65 x 8.9 mm, weight - 138 g.

Screen

The screen of 4.6 inches has a high-quality IPS-matrix. Resolution gives 720 r with a pixel density of 323 ppi. The display has an oleophobic coating and a special protection against scratches, which makes the use of the device even more comfortable. The colors in the smartphone are good, the viewing angles are decent, the device behaves in the sun: the display does not fade. In general, the screen with Sony, as always, everything is in order, although, perhaps, someone was waiting for Full HD for this price.

Sony Xperia Z5 Compact: specifications of the flagship

The device is endowed with the eight-core Qualcomm MSM8994 processor Snapdragon 810: four cores (Cortex-A53) operate at 1.5 GHz, and the other four (Cortex-A57) - with a frequency of 2 GHz. RAM, unfortunately, only 2 GB, although it would be possible to install the general technical capabilities as well. 3. But the developers did not stint on memory for data storage, since here it is as much as 32 GB with the possibility of expansion with the help of micro-SD memory cards. The smartphone is able to read flash drives up to 200 GB. Speaking of communication and interfaces, we note 4G, Bluetooth v4.1, micro-USB v2.0, USB-Host and Wi-Fi: 802.11.

Cameras

In turn, the most interesting features of the Sony Z5 are technical characteristics of optics. The main camera has an active 23 Mp, LED flash and excellent autofocus, which allows to achieve extraordinary quality of images. Among the additional functions there are face recognition, HDR, geo-marks, panoramic shooting and other interesting features. Also, it should be noted that the device shoots video with a resolution of 4K at 30 frames / second.

Frontal optics are somewhat more rapid: only 5.1 megapixels. However, SELFI images are of a very high level. In addition, pleases the availability of HDR function and the ability to make videos with a resolution of 1080p.

Sound

Further in the review "Sony Zksperiya Z5" - technical characteristics of the speaker and music player. The speaker of the smartphone turned out to be quite loud and clear: melodies are well audible even from the pocket. The sound in the headphones allows you to abandon the MP3 player and use your smartphone as a music gadget. A wide range of different functions makes it possible to make all necessary settings. Creating playlists, adjusting the equalizer and harvested sound profiles are just some of them.

Battery

The model has a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 2700 - the figure is not very impressive. Although the screen of the smartphone is small, and the resolution is the usual HD, yet with intensive use it is necessary to charge the gadget daily, with moderate use - once a day and a half. Here comes the help of the quick charging option, which allows for 10 minutes to add a phone to 5 hours of battery life (in a moderate mode, of course).

Conclusion

Smartphone "Sony Ixperia Z5" (technical specifications for this confirmation) turned out to be powerful, functional and stylish. Impressive attractive display and camera, which allows you to take great pictures and quality videos. Impressive set of all the most advanced interfaces along with quality sound. Of the shortcomings we note that for the price of 24-25 thousand rubles, developers simply had to install 3 GB of RAM and Full HD-display. If there is no acute need in the second, since the screen sizes here are quite small by modern standards, 2 GB of RAM can soon become a serious drawback. It would also be superfluous to install a more capacious battery of about 3000 mAh. The overall picture is obvious: Sony Sony's Z5 Compact, whose technical specifications and multimedia capabilities clearly met the expectations of many (which is the camera alone), unfortunately, was not without its drawbacks. Perhaps, they will be corrected in the following models of the ruler.
