Hi!
PolarCell reports on their website that the Z5 Compact battery is compatible with multiple devices, including the X Compact: 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 an X Compact battery laying around and an XZ1 Compact (or XZ1 Compact battery and an X Compact) available to test this hypothesis, me and many others will be forever grateful.

Anyone familiar with the kickstarter project COBI?

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

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+)

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) ?

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
My S4 Mini 4G (serranoltexx) is a great phone with a great compact size. I also like the sturdy plastic back which you can easily snap off and replace with another cover. In addition, you can use the latest custom ROMs on it with Android 9. However, the lack of CPU speed and features slowly starts to become a limitation compared to current phones.
The thing is, there is nothing you can buy with a similar size as the S4 Mini. I like this size and I want something up-to-date that has kind of the same design. I looked everywhere and everything seems to be at least a centimetre wider and longer. Now Sony seems to even have stopped its Compact line. Does any one know of any current small smartphones? (Preferably as well-supported by the community as the S4 Mini!)
Unfortunately I do not know any current alternative.
But if you find one, please let us know!!!
I am looking desperately for something up to date with similar dimensions.
For Android, your best alternatives are mainly Sony:
Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 (Oreo)
Sony Xperia Z5 Compact (Nougat)
Sony Xperia X Compact (Oreo)
Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact (Pie - should get Android 10)
Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact (Pie - should get Android 10)
Sony Xperia 5 (not really a compact)
Otherwise only Apple does a small compact phone. Other alternative is to keep the S4 Mini and install custom ROM.
I noticed there are really few high or middle level compact phone. An interesting altervative the "e" series of samsing, the best is s10e (but its' bigger that s4 mini) but there are cheaper solutions by samsung, but always bigger than our phone.
Always looking for another phone...
For the Sony Z3 compact (or mini, in some regions) there's LineageOS 16 as "nightly" (= basically weekly, if there's no build failure) builds - something I couldn't find for the Z5c. So the Z3c should be added to the list above.
XZ1 compact and X compact is simply best phones from list above and i ever had
A3 2016 should be good alternative but only with SD410, exynos variant is not so good or maybe is one from 300 pieces what lag
Xiaomi Mi8 SE is smaller than Xperia 5
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.
