IFA 2015 Live: Sony Xperia Z5 hands-on photo gallery

Sony Xperia Z5 specifications: The smartphone flaunts a 5.2-inch 1080p with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection, and is powered by a Snapdragon 810 octa-core 64-bit processor paired with Adreno 430 GPU and 3GB of RAM.

The Xperia Z5 and Xperia Z5 Compact were announced one day ago at IFA 2015, and Carphone Warehouse already has both devices available for pre-order online. Anyway, you can give them your name, phone, email, and postcode and you will be contacted when the Xperia Z5 Premium becomes available to order.

The Sony Xperia Z3 was shown off at the MWC and it was at the IFA that fans first heard about the Sony Xperia Z4 coming out.

There is good news regarding the battery life of the new Sony Xperia Z5.

Android 5.1 is mainly a bug-fixing release, and with this rollout Sony is thankfully also patching the much-discussed Stagefright vulnerability, so it won’t affect the Xperia T2 Ultra Dual after the update is up and running.

The iPhone 6 Plus comes with a similar screen size, but it is nowhere near the screen resolution that this Sony device is equipped with thanks to its 1080 by 1920 resolution and pixel density of 401 pixels per inch.

The Xperia Z5 premium model not only comes with an enhanced display screen, but users of this device will also be treated to more.

The phone is available in Black, Gold, Green, and White, with the later body color being a Carphone Warehouse exclusive for two-weeks post-launch. On the front of the phone, you will find a 5MP snapper. And no, we were not even recording the demanding 4K video that is known to cause phones to get hot – it was just looking through the various camera options available, right after checking out the overall interface.
