Sony Xperia Z5 : Victim syndrome of Xperia Z3 +? (IFA 2015)

At the IFA, some journalists had the opportunity to play with the Xperia Z5, new flagship of Sony for this year end. During some tests with the product, the unthinkable is again produced, photo support. We thought the setbacks of the commercial launch of Sony Xperia Z3 + had immunized for several years against the risks related to the overheating of its platforms, particularly among journalists. Following the release that more massive a video of our colleagues of Android Pit in early summer that was chilling, it was logical to expect from Sony extreme care in the choice of its components, as to the design of its product and about the optimization of its platform, including one that would ensure the replacement of a Z3 + not so well born.

Imagine our surprise when we found the photo below. It was taken by one of our colleagues at PhoneArena on the Sony stand at IFA, taking place currently in Berlin. Here are reports of the Editor: After a grip of the general interface, he opened the photo application to assess possible changes.

By browsing the options without start recording 4K gave few hot flashes to Sony management, application stopped moments after its opening, explaining that it should be closed by the time the cool platform starts. It confirms that the chassis is hot, but not burning. You will notice that there are a lot of people in a room that the products are positioned in spots throughout the day and are constantly manipulated. Even so, it does not.

The reporter obviously spoke with Sony officials there. He explained that the versions of the Xperia Z5 which are on display at the Berlin salon is not the final copies. Overheating problems and optimization of the system are still being finalized. And this kind of mishap obviously does not happen with business models. Déjà vu course

We are clearly not concerned vis-à-vis the smartphone. Technically, it is almost certain that the founder and the manufacturer will find a solution to this technical problem, as was the case with the Xperia Z3 +, even if it has to go through a clamping octo-core. We believe, like the Z3 +, the Z5 will be a great product on the high end and it is safe to use (even if the machining errors are not impossible either).

However, we are surprised that Sony, after the bad buzz that he suffered with the Z3 +, did not bother to verify in detail that this type of mishap can happen on a show like IFA, where all journalists are equipped with a camera, one or two smartphones and a permanent Internet connection. For if we are conciliatory, consumers will not necessarily do as much. And at a time when the economic balance of the mobile branch of Sony is tossing, this photo can be expensive.

The Sony Xperia Z5 + revealed for the first time

A photo of Xperia Z5 + seems to have leaked on the web. It shows a terminal with a Omnibalance design and featuring a fingerprint reader built into the power button. Sony will launch new smartphones coming September 2 at its press conference at IFA Berlin. And if we expected to see the Xperia Z5 and Xperia Z5 Compact, another smartphone might accompany: Xperia Z5 +.

Known for now as the Xperia S70 + code, Xperia Z5 + could indeed be arriving after the summer, and not in the month of March 2016 as claimed by some rumors from the last week. They also suggested a 4K screen to the terminal: a perspective to forget if its formalization actually takes place at IFA, since this technology will not happen until next year. The specialized site Xperiablog published a first picture of what Xperia Z5 +. A visual akin also to release a report, which means that its announcement should take place in the near time. The device will appear in three colors (Black, Silver, Gold) and seems to have the same design Omnibalance than all its predecessors in the series Xperia Z.

We can also see the words "S70 +" on the top left of the image. The Xperia Z5 with the S70 code name, it would be quite logical that Sony Xperia attributes the name to Z5 + smartphone. Last but not least, it seems that a fingerprint reader already seen on the Xperia Z5 Compact is integrated on the left edge of the device within the power-on button. The image, which seems to be actually a current presentation slide preparation is unfortunately quite low quality. She also tells us no information about the technical specifications of the terminal. But by its seemingly imminent arrival, we should know more soon on this Xperia Z5 + in the coming days.

Sony Xperia Z5: an original concept that reminds us of Sony Ericsson smartphones

A designer fan of Sony comes to share its vision of the Xperia Z5. Originally, this concept features a design that takes us back several years, when the Japanese marketed its smartphones under the name of Sony Ericsson. Sony could formalize a new flagship store next September after many rumors circulating on the Web called Xperia Z5, it will aim to make us forget the Xperia fiasco + Z3 / Z4, released earlier in the year.

Its characteristics even seem to have leaked this week: 4 GB of RAM, Sony IMX230 CMOS Xmor RS 21 megapixels sensor, 4500 mAh battery and Android M indeed is included in the data sheet, according to the website Technodify.

The site also mentions the presence of a SoC Snapdragon 820, but this information leaves us quite skeptical, since the arrival of the 820 commercially is scheduled for the end of the year. Nevertheless, the expectations around this Sony Xperia Z5 are great.

And this is not Babak Soren will tell us otherwise because the designer has imagined what the future might look like flagship. Its concept is also quite original because it does not resume the form factor dear to the series Z. The Sony Xperia Z5 we see here has indeed Sony Ericsson tunes with its curved edges.

The designer has also endowed with the characteristics specified by Technodify, namely a 2.5D Quad HD screen, under which would be integrated Snapdragon 820 and 4GB of RAM. The Sony IMX230 sensor Exmor RS CMOS 21 megapixel would be of the party, accompanied by an 8 megapixel camera on the front.

If it is not very realistic aesthetic point of view, this concept has still the merit of reminding us the range Sony Ericsson, which has offered us at the time of smartphones very good. As for the specs, it is still quite early to know whether or not it is closer to that of the Xperia Z5. We hope to know more about that in the month of September.
