So far I only test the camera.
Didn't set the apps yet as I still use my Z2 as my main phone.
The OS is fairly identical to the Z2.
But the app tray doesn't have the left-side menu, it has a menu on top instead.
They got rid of Play Store and What's New shortcuts.
Pity but ok, you can still rearrange apps how you like.
There is actually one extra line of space of the homescreen since everyhting is more packed downwards.
That's nice.
They got rid of the Camera Widget also, I have no idea why.
But it can be easily fixed by all the specific camera modes shortcuts on the homescreen.
It is brighter than Z2 too.
It looks stunning and I like the design.
I have the graphite black version.
Which means the front is black and the rest is much lighter, graphite with a little
touch of gold. It's a great colour.
I cannot comment on fingerprint scanner since I don't use it.
I still test the camera and some results will be posted soon.
Basically the 8mpx Manual mode is the killer especially in low light.
But I have to say the Auto mode is back to the quality and often the results are great as well.
In the Box there is UCH20 Charger and MH750 headphones.
It's the polish TMobile package.
Of course my phone got immediately unbranded by Flashtool.
BTW you have no idea what kind of crappy homescreen widget TMobile adds...
I mean if I'd be an uneducated user I'd hate it immediately.

Strange. Again the same issue with Calendar.
The same happened on my Z2.
When I bought my Z5 I synced my Google Calendar with the inbuilt app with my Google account.
But the silly thing synced only my main Calendar cathegory.
The other cathegories WERE NOT SYNCED and not visible on the calendar.
I had to downlad the Google Calendar and sync it too with my account.
And Google calendar displayed all of my custom cathegories.
STRANGELY the cathegories immediately appeared on the inbuilt app too. It's clearly a bug.

I've had the Z5 three weeks now and delighted with it. There's not a huge difference from the Z3, but that's not surprising as it's only a year on. The Fingerprint scanner works well, the screen looks lush and the call quality excellent. The camera improved with the latest firmware - so it's quick and, excuse the pun, snappy. The video quality is amazing with the steadyshot switched on in 1080p mode. The speakers seem louder than the Z3.
I also got the BSP10 bluetooth speaker free with it - so v happy all round.

The phone is fantastic.
Some little issues:
The Calendar Sync
Xperia Transfer fails to work besides the Cloud method.
23mpx Mode should have Manual ISO.

I'm wondering if this is a Setting within Calendar by which only the Main calender is displayed by default and others are 'selectable" as in separate views?! Try digging around to see whats up. Just a thought but what do I know, that's none of my business.
