*** Sony Xperia Z5 ***

For someone who is interested in VR it makes perfect sense and i would imagine by this time next year we will have a lot of 4k screens...obviously to some it wont who arn't interested in things like that but having personally tried VR on a 1440p screen it still needed a higher res screen. I still think recording 4k video and being able to play it back accurately on a 4k screen is a plus. If the note 6 next year sticks with no SD card slot then i may end up going for one of these as they look great.

It looks so good

I'm thinking the same thing
Well it's definitely between this and the Note 5 for me. I've seen about 10 reviews of the Samsung, just waiting for the Sony reviews... Like to see how good the camera is.
Samsung Galaxy Notes 5/S6 Edge+ uses the Sony camera sensors right? and it was rated excellent. So this should be even better??

I just find it hilarious that Sony says there is no use for QuadHD on a phone but there is a use for 4K.

The back on the Z5 isn't that glossy glass any more which is better IMO.
How is the actual software side of things on these phones? Samsung have been extremely poor and very slow with there software updates on the note 4 that isn't even barely a year old and its one of the things that's put me off going with them again.

It's fairly close to stock Android nowadays.
Sony are fairly good at supporting their devices. You will get Android Marshmallow but it might be three months after release, it might be more, it might be less.

This is a completely new camera module so yeah I'd expect it to be way better at both focusing (we know this anyway in this area) and low light noise given the guys who worked on it are in Sony Alpha labs, their Alpha DSLR cameras can nearly see in the dark.

Damn, thought i'd heard sony were pulling out of the phone market, for once i'm glad i'm wrong, nice to see something a bit better looking than a samsung and not an apple at the high end table (samsungs are good but god their designs look dated now).
Might be tempted by one of thesewhen if my z2 ever dies (still rocking a 5 day battery life and amazingly that glass is incredibly resiststant)
Also, if sony can make an oled screened tablet you can take my money.

4k!that's crazy. I know why they do it.
But to me is just waste of battery. I see it as nothing but a drawback
Still it's fine to have the offering
II really do wish I got on with the ergonomics of this phone.
Also, looks like causing Samsung more deserved pain

Holy moly, these camera samples are pretty impressive (scroll down for non Sony press shot samples):

Granted it's pretty much ideal conditions, but it looks very detailed without being ridiculously sharpened. You can almost make out the license plates on the cars!

I'll be keeping a sharp eye on the reviews regarding the camera. The sad thing is waiting until November for the release
