Sony's Xperia Z5 and Xperia Z5 Compact smartphones, which are expected to be officially unveiled at the upcoming IFA 2015 to be held in Berlin, are once again the subject of rumor mills as an image showing the two devices on top of each other has been leaked.
The image was uploaded by prolific leaker ViziLeaks on Twitter, sparking discussion on some details that can be discerned through the picture.
The picture that ViziLeaksuploaded*shows the sides of the two smartphones in detail. The thing that stands out is how the fingerprint scanner for the Xperia Z5 and Xperia Z5 Compact look like and where exactly they are located on the side of the devices. The fingerprint scanner is embedded in the power buttons of the smartphones.
It can also be seen that the volume rockers for both smartphones are placed below the fingerprint scanners, similar to previous Xperia devices albeit much lower than usual.
According to ViziLeaks in the comments, the two smartphones are shown in the picture with no case or bumper installed, meaning that the image shows what the Xperia Z5 and Xperia Z5 Compact really look like. As they are, the two smartphones appear to be continuing the OmniBalance design language that Sony has developed.
The placement of the volume rockers, however, is subject to*debate*on whether their location is an ideal one. It could be difficult to access the volume rockers using only one hand, especially on the smaller Xperia Z5 Compact, but only hands-on testing in the future will tell whether that is the case or not.
The larger model of the Xperia Z5, possibly named the Xperia Z5 Ultra, is not included in the image uploaded by ViziLeaks. However, it will also most likely feature the same design and button placements as the Xperia Z5 and the Xperia Z5 Compact.
The fingerprint scanner feature is slowly becoming a standard feature on flagship smartphones. Also, its inclusion in the Xperia Z5 smartphones shows the significance of these devices in Sony's plans.
The Xperia Z5 is expected*feature*a 5.5-inch display with 1080p resolution and will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset with 3GB of RAM and an internal memory capacity of 32GB.*

I don't think there's going to be a Z5 Ultra.
Only C5 Ultra

C5 Ultra does look amazing and I am a little bit hopeful that a Z series phablet successor could exist, but with Z3x and Z4 ultra rumour before, it is hard not to be sceptic.
At least sony IFA event on 2nd September is not that far-off
Z5 ultra! (z5+)

We have received word of a new Sony Xperia C670X handset that is due to launch this summer. The information comes from a tipster who recently provided us with the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean screenshot for the Xperia Z. Obviously, as with any rumour, treat all of the following with a pinch of salt.
In terms of specifications, the Sony C670X is expected to come with a slightly smaller display than the Xperia Z (C660X) at 4.8-inches but will still have a full HD resolution of 1080 x 1920. The C670X will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 (APQ8064T) chipset with 1.8GHz quad-core processor and Adreno 320 graphics. Other features include 2GB RAM, 32GB internal storage and a 13MP Exmor RS camera. We are told the phone is due to launch in the middle of 2013 with Android 4.2.
Along with all of this spec information, we were sent a render of the Sony C670X. We cannot tell from the picture if the C670X has a heavy glass influence like the Xperia Z or uses aluminium. Judging from the render, the ear speaker is similar in style to the Z/ZL. It looks like the top of the phone includes a front-facing camera , notification light, light sensor and proximity sensor.
Given that the expected release is still a number of months away, the design may end up changing prior to launch. This is perhaps why there are no app icons in the display area, the render only shows the latest Xperia wallpaper. Anyway, that’s all we have for now. As mentioned before, treat all of this firmly as a rumour.
Update: The image sent over is the same as used in the set up guide for the Xperia Z, despite it clearly not being a picture of the Xperia Z. So either this Sony render is a generic placeholder image used when setting up a new 2013 Sony Xperia handset or it is indeed an image of an upcoming handset that Sony has inadvertently used in the Xperia Z.

Anyone familiar with the kickstarter project COBI?
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cobi/cobi-worlds-smartest-connected-biking-system
Looks really nice for biking enthusiasts, only problem is that our Sony Xperia Z3 Compact is not supported at the moment.
If you also want support for the Z3C please vote here: http://eepurl.com/-x2zD

+1 That's going to be nice if it makes it to market. And with the Z3C being waterproof we wouldn't need and extra cover.
looks to be an innovative solution. One flaw is the Z3 needs to be in portrait to be visible with polarised sunglasses.
I've modded a Z3C as a bike computer and having good results so far
very interesting project, thanks for sharing
Good news guys, the Kickstarter project has almost reached the next stretchgoal! At the moment 327k has been pledged and at 350k there will be support for the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact
This stretchgoal will also add support for more devices, including:
– HTC One M8
– LG G3
– Motorola Moto X (2014)
– OnePlus One
– Samsung Galaxy Note 4
– Sony Xperia Z3 Compact
Tell your friends so we can reach the stretchgoal!
This year, few smartphones have been as talked about – or subject to as many leaks – as the Sony Xperia Z4, and along those lines we present to you the latest batch of photos to trickle onto the web via in2mobile and NWE. Click through on the links to see the slideshows in full.
What’s interesting is that the phone in these shots shows the model number E6553, the same number that appeared in leaked benchmark tests last week. Either it’s the same phone or someone’s very handy with a photo editor.
Another image shows the camera around the back of the supposed Xperia Z4. It looks a lot like the snapper fixed to last year’s Xperia Z3 – based on earlier rumours we are expecting the megapixel rating to be the same but with an upgrade for the internal sensor.

Disagree with my usage so far, camera is okay, same as Z3, no optical stabilisation and is now falling behind both the S6 and G4 for quality imo. Also have installed pocketcasts and there is noticeable lag while watching video podcasts, first phone I have had that has done this.
Also I am disappointed that Sony have once again resorted to applying a shatter resistant screen, this does not have oleophobic coating, gets easily smudged which really shows up in the sunlight.
Personally I think Sony have launched the Z3+ (Z4) just to get a phone out there rather than taking time to actually upgrade the phone properly, maybe this is due to all the unrest in the Sony mobile camp!
The question is, does the screen have the oleophobic coats on the screen itself, under the pre-installed screen protector..?
UPDATE: Found out, The answer is.. YES!

Hi all, I have a xperia Z3 and Z5, placed next to each other, there is a difference in display quality of the Z3's favor. On Z3 display white is much purer , while the Z5 is yellowish. Z5 is on the right side. Is normal or my Z5 have a display problem?
Maybe try adjusting the white balance on display settings on the Z5 so that it looks "purer".
@op same here for me!
Well i had a Z3 and now a Z5 and he display on Z5 is way sharper.
Sent from MWA Pro-Spect V1.0.0 On My Z5
You may have a faulty Z5 screen.
You can try to compensate with the white balance settings.
I have both at the moment. can post pics if you guyz want. My Z3 is way blue. hurts the eye
Please if you can upload some pictures. Thx
Compared to my OnePlus One (LCD display too), my Z5 has a very blueish tint I must compensate with "White Balance". Are you guys noticing the same with your Z5 (Colder colors/white)?
Z3 is the only Xperia which doesn't "follow" Sony's style, color temperature is more cold, Sony has "reverted" it from Z3+/Z4 to be more Sony, I mean color temperature is hot again, but Sony did to much red from Z1 on their Xperia display, I even feel HTC One M7 is much more better and comfortable for me.
As i have a Z3 and Z5 (Z3 is my "Emergency Phone") i recognized exactly the same. Can anyone provide a Z5 Display Setting which matches the Z3?

Of topic question
But please can some one tell me about battery backup difference while heavy usage (like pay games) ?
on Z3 Vs Z5
I have Z5, and planning to buy Z3 as extra phone only for heavy uses

Z3 Battery is better. For two simple Reasons:
Z3 -> Snapdragon 801 with 3100mah battery
Z5 -> Snapdragon 810 (aka i like heat) with 2900mah battery (wut, Sony?)
Please upload pictura with screen comparation z3-z5.

It's not a problem buddy. Z3 is over blue. Z5 is better actually way better in real life
The reason of this problem is complicated. Sony uses 3 (as i can see) different screen panel on xperia z5. Same situation appears also on Z3. I have green Z5 and my sister has white Z5 and her phone's display is much better than mine. Some of Z5 has better display than z3 and some of have worse. I think sony should finish this policy and should use only one display panel for every model

And then you got the "issue" (there is an issue though, I believe) with the replacement panels, as well
this whole screen business is quite intransparent
Hi!
PolarCell reports on their website that the Z5 Compact battery is compatible with multiple devices: https://www.polarcell.de/en/mobile-...battery-for-sony-xperia-z5-compact-e5823.html
I believe the Z5 Compact's battery is compatible all the way up to the XZ1 Compact, since the dimensions are very similar, the operating voltage is roughly the same and the connector is the same, even the pinout is identical.
I think testing this is worth a shot, since high quality 3rd party Z5 Compact batteries are still in production (check PolarCell and GreenCell - maybe some other ones for the Americas, Asia and Australia too), while for the XZ1 Compact - none. Not even Sony seems to be manufacturing them according to their own specifications (2000 - 2200 mAh vs official 2700).
If anybody here has a Z5 Compact battery laying around and an XZ1 Compact (or XZ1 Compact battery and a Z5 Compact) available to test this hypothesis, me and many others will be forever grateful.
Similar question asked over on the XZ1 Compact XDA Forum.
