*** Sony Xperia Z5 ***

Really hoping these releases will bump down the price of the Z3 to under 300.

There's quite a few places on the net which already have it at about £275 and £290 though given the minor changes from Z3 to Z4 and to Z5 I don't expect there will be mad reductions on the z3 anytime soon. I hope so as I'm looking to pick up a Z3 but want it sub £200, highly doubt it though!
 
No overheating issues, nice. Sold on the premium myself. That focus speed, I expect raw image capture too as its a new camera module from the Alpha boys.
 
4k screen, really..... As if 2560x1440 @ <5.5" wasn't stupid/pointless enough already.

It's between this, the Moto X Style and the refreshed Nexus for me.

Same and possibly the note 5 (if we get it...) or GS 6.

I'll probably end up getting the nexus even if specs etc. aren't quite as good though... I just love the pure stock android experience and guaranteed + fast updates, still can't believe after all these years of android dominating the market that 3rd parties suck for timely updates especially Samsung...

Agreed. Love the Z3 battery and design... now they added a ridiculous screen and a killer camera...
 
I've disregarded the Note 5 as Samsung have lost the plot and don't deserve my money from here on. Note 3 was the height of their prime. Been downhill since for the Note range.
 
4k makes sense since you capture in 4k so having a 4k screen for playback is a very good thing. Plus its going to look amazing for VR and VR is only going to get more popular next year. Only downsize is i feel as though its going to need something better than a Snapdragon 810

It makes absolutely no sense when the screen is 5.5 inches.

Yeah, completely unnecessary. It's just about marketing, what feature can we say we have that others don't, that's how much they're all struggling with smart phones.

But hey, I think it's fine, some people will really want it. If they'd made the normal Z5 into this beast then I wouldn't have been happy, but as an extra option, why not.
