- Thread starter Warp279
- Start date
Looks good, i'll be ordering one too.
Black option for me, not a fan of those other colours.
Available to preorder:

Current price is £450, no doubt it will get cheaper towards release.

Compact has always been thicker, they need the space to pack all the internals. The back now has a frosted glass effect. I will have to see how this is before completely disregarding the whole thing. Hopefully it's less slippery.
The z3c was the same price. It was however heavily slashed in price just before release. Maybe it will happen again.
Agreed, ive checked the competition and nothing comes close.
The closest thing would be the ip6.. or the Galaxy Alpha, which is what im using until this is out.
Built in wireless charging would have been nice though.
Rumours of a Z5 compact premium. 1080p, 4GB Ram

With a battery this good, wireless charging is low priority to me.
Its all about the size. Better one hand use.
Im seeing quite a few small differences between the Compact and Z5.
Metallic ring around the camera. Seamless corners.
Bigger notification light on the Compact.
Volume button placement is quite odd for both.

Not too bothered by the plastic, it still looks quite solid. I just wish there was better colour options.
The size is just right for me. Downgrading from an S6 Edge
A little Q&A:

Havent seen many offers for it yet. Still £450 on Amazon.
Clove has a bundle offer giving you free wireless headphones. Sell the headphones for £30 and that brings it down to £400.
o2 usually have some good refresh offers.
Why buy from Sony when Clove has it for £430 + free headphones?

Ive only noticed a slight difference in the wifi, everything else is the same.
Battery life should be better.
Clove are reliable. Many users on here have used them.
Japan only I think. Not much news on it.
Z5 compact's screen is still crispy @ 720p and the overall phone is a nice upgrade over the previous version.
Any news on those rumours of a Z5 compact premium?
I can't believe they still have a 720p screen in these
Such a let down, especially for a £450 phone!

Might take a look in my local, see if they have anything.
Spotted them yesterday.
- Sides are flatter on both compared to z3/z3c.
- Fingerprint scanner in perfect position.
- Volume buttons placed quite low.
- Back is very nice.
No finger smudges in sight though
Still using dummies in my local. I was expecting them to have a demo unit after seeing mrk's post
