I'm really worried about finding a root exploit for Z5 Premium without unlocking the bootloader...
The guys at xda developers hardly managed to root Z3+/Z4 after unlocking the BL, and some guys says it might be impossible to achieve root without unlocking the BL duo to changes Sony made in the boot process ( verifications in Kernel like of stuff )... having almost the same platform for both Z3+/Z4 with Z5 making me feels it will get the same treatment...
The good thing about xda developers is that they have a weird different definition of "imposible", so there might be hope in the horizon, but it will need more time
Damn Sony with your silly DRM stuff removed when unlocking the boot loader... the thing is if you buy a Sony phone and unlock the bootloader, you will no longer have a Sony phone, the most amazing features will just go away for good... unless you find a root exploit and backed-up the TA partition first...
But honestly, in my first 1-2 years of any device ownership, I'm only interested in root...
Nanroid backups are good also, but for me root is a must...

Seen varying scores on benchmarks, seen several around 57,000 mark and one even as low as 49000 (Tryna refind the link to the article) then this impressive 63000 score taken from the Z5 premium.

Edit:
Just noticed that its the Z5 that scored that, interesting in comparison to the 57000 reported by another site taken from the Z5. Maybe this Z5 was put through its paces prior to the benchmark.

The camera results are less than stellar so far. 3 weeks until it is supposed to hit stores, compact even earlier.
Sure sony can improve the noise and what not but going by the announcement that the new camera app is due in November, doesn't feel like they will rush to improve quality and just claim once the new app arrives, things will be better.
Not expecting a miracle from Sony mobile in terms of imaging.

I used to be the same, but nowadays I have less use for root. Sure, it's nice, but not necessary anymore. I used to feel I NEED root for game progress backups, SDcard access (stupid kitkat), going further back it was screenshots, but now?
My launcher gives me plenty of customizability out of the box, the software isn't as badly bloated as it used to be, ftfs are easy to make and flash for any stock firmware any region. The only real benefit I get from root at the minute is that I can use a root VPN app so I don't have to set a screenlock pattern (which you do if you use the android VPN system), thus saving me an extra 800 miliseconds each time I open my phone. Minor thing which only is relevant when waking from deep sleep (as my MiBand does proximity unlocking) and will disappear completely with fingerprint unlocking.
I'm not saying my situation covers every eventuality but I myself don't need root.
What do you use root for?

I probably won't get the Z5 Premium, my eyes are now set on a iPad Pro 128GB LTE, to replace my aging iPad 4 which has/is serving me beautifully since 2012.
My Note 4 got the 5.1.1 update from my network and it is running so well again, I figure no point in getting a new phone in 2015, rather wait for the Snapdragon 820 and Exynos 8 devices.
I am still looking forward to giving the Z5 Premium a go though, IMO, this is the phone of 2015, especially after Sony confirmed how the 4K display works. What annoys me is how this piece of innovation is not being hyped! Sony have done a fantastic job and have shown how high res displays SHOULD be done in mobile.

Apparently the premium has great battery life: from 7:30 to 18:49, 3 on screen time, battery is at 45%. Tester words.

It is someone from my coutry who receives new mobile devices before launch for drm programming (data protection for copyrighted applications). he posted battery results on facebook but it is in hebrew, you could translate with google but he took the post down i guess for his job sake, hehe. anyway, the display was on auto brightness. for heating concerns he says he shot 18 minutes in 4k and no out of the ordinary heating.

Thanks for sharing that
I'm excited for the Xperia Z5 Premium.
Great display so far
Great battery performance
Great performance in general
The photography part has great potential too.
