Sony announces the Xperia Z5, Z5 compact and Z5 premium

Today Sony officially showcased the Xperia Z5 series of its flagship phones, while Sony hasn't been having a lot success in the smartphone market. Recently it hasn't been as much successful as it once used to be in mobile phone sales, its sales have fallen in the international market which is primarily due to the highly saturated market for premium smartphones as even Samsung and Apple are having a hard time now. Sony today presented the world with what it believes a smartphone of 2015 and 2016 should be like and that is the Xperia Z5 which comes in three different variations the largest being the Xperia Z5 premium followed by the regular Xperia Z5 and lastly the smallest Xperia Z5 compact.

The Xperia Z5 packs a Snapdragon 810 quad core 64 bit processor with 3 Gb of ram, 23 Mp camera, a 5.2 inch full HD 1080p screen, 2900 mah battery and a finger print scanner while the Z5 premium has all the same specs except it comes with a 5.5 inch 4k ultra HD screen and a 3400 mah battery while the Z5 compact comes with a 4.0 inch 720p screen. Sony says all the sets will have the same camera and will be able to focus in just 0.03 seconds and it says all these phones can last up to 2 days of use with a single charge though we doubt the 4k screen of the Z5 premium is anything near battery friendly unless Sony has some special tricks up its sleeves.

Now Sony might ditch smartphones all together that's the latest rumours going around but with the Xperia Z5 series that doesn't seem to be true but it definitely does point towards a fact that Sony might target premium smartphones market only as with the launch of the Xperia Z5 premium. In all honesty that doesn't seem like a bad idea as it should help Sony manufacture only a specific number and make it profitable but it's stepping into dangerous territory as Samsung and Apple take almost all the sales for the premium market leaving only a minor amount of sales for the likes of HTC and Sony, never the less the Z5 premium and the regular Z5 as well as the Z5 compact are great phones they feel premium and have premium specs what they do lack is probably the brand strength of Apple and Samsung, which Sony can definitely achieve as it is almost as diversified as Samsung and can throw cash around from it's cash cows after all Samsung and Apple did the same.

Last year Sony released the C5 Ultra a near bezel less phone with a premium design but was ultimately a mid ranger, this year we are here again reporting about the C6, another bezel less phone with a premium design. Image Source   The phone most likely will boast a 5.5 full HD screen, an Octa core Helio P10, 16 Gb internal storage, 3 or 2 Gb Ram and will of course support 4g LTE. The leaked pictures show a bezel less design which resembles the Z3 though it's not aluminium like the later. Image Source What do you think about the phone and it's design?

Xperia C5 Ultra could be your dream bezel-less phone

last week Sony announced the near bezel-less C5 Ultra, now before we jump further you should know the whole bezel-less thing only applies to its side bezels the top and bottom ones are big while the top one is actually huge, we don't particularly find complete bezel-less phones easy to use but some people actually do so if less bezel size and more screen space is your forte than this phone might interest you, also note that the top bezel is large for a good reason it house's the 13 MP selfie camera . The C5 Ultra is set to launch on 14th august for $425 the price and availability could vary in other countries. C5 Ultra runs on a Mediatek 1.7 Ghz  Octa core procesor, offer's a 6" full 1080p screen, 13 MP camera both at the front and back, 2 GB Ram, 16 GB internal storage, SD card slot and a 2930 mah battery, all in a very sleek body which still is plastic though but looks good with the Xperia design language. Oh and colour options are mint green, black and white. ...
