Editorial note

The Sony Xperia Z5 stands out with its 5.2-inch Full HD display, offering exceptional picture quality with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. However, the TFT screen, while satisfactory, may seem less performant compared to newer technologies like OLED, which affects colors and viewing angles. On the performance side, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 quad-core processor ensures smooth and responsive usage. Nevertheless, the Android 5.1 operating system, while effective, is relatively old and may restrict access to certain modern applications. The 2900 mAh battery capacity allows for reasonable autonomy, but may seem insufficient for heavy users, especially during activities like video streaming or gaming, leading to frequent recharges. In terms of design, the Xperia Z5 features a modern and sleek look, with IP68 certified water and dust resistance, ensuring reliable use in various conditions. However, the 32 GB internal storage capacity and the lack of FM radio may be drawbacks for some users, limiting their entertainment options. Overall, the Sony Xperia Z5 offers good features, but its limitations in storage and operating system may not satisfy all users.
