When it comes to Sony, everyone's first reaction should be "Is Sony out of business today?" . Once Nokia, today Sony , especially bleak. However, Sony did not give up. In September this year, it exhibited the new Xperia Z5 Product line: Z5 with larger body is equipped with 1080p display screen, and smaller Xperia Z5 Compact It is still strong on cameras and processors, and even has "black technology" - the 4K screen version of Xperia Z5 Premium. Today, we will pass through the smaller Xperia Z5 Compact , see if Sony still has the possibility of turning over.
Sony Xperia Z5 Compact Parameter Table
In terms of hardware, Xperia Z5 Compact uses a 4.6 inch 720P display screen that mainstream manufacturers have abandoned, but the CPU is still equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 eight core processor, which is "hot" and "powerful" in performance. The 2GB RAM+32GB ROM storage combination that is not enough, the Sony Gold camera with 23 megapixel F/2.0 aperture, takes 0.1 seconds to focus at the fastest forward speed, plus an innovative fingerprint identification module. In terms of body material selection, the machine adopts skin like materials, which are orange, lemon yellow, black and white.
appearance
Overall appearance of Sony Xperia Z5 Compact
Basically, Xperia Z5 Compact continues the design language of previous generations of Sony, but the design is more compact. Interestingly, if you count“ S ONY ”And“ XPERIA ”If there are four LOGOs in the whole fuselage, we can see what is the real feelings 。
Sony Xperia Z5 Compact Side Fingerprint
The power supply has changed from the original round to the long strip, and has joined the side fingerprint identification module of Sweden FPC 1145. After the actual experience, the recognition rate and recognition speed are very satisfactory, which is very consistent with the normal operation logic of ordinary people, with zero learning cost. However, it is new technology after all, and there will be no less problems. Recently, many users who took the lead in using Z5 series mobile phones complained online In some cases, such as driving or taking things, if the fingerprint identification fails, you need to enter the system password to unlock.

Around the body, there are 3.5mm headphone connector and microUSB connector at the bottom. There are microphones at the top and bottom. SIM card slot and SD card slot are on the left. On the front of Xperia Z5 Compact is a 4.6 inch 720P resolution display, front camera and speaker, and on the back is a camera and various certification marks.
For the design of Xperia Z5 Compact, users familiar with Sony products will be familiar with it. If Apple represents American humanistic design, it can not cover the Japanese industrial design style dominated by fine functional design. If you are an experienced post-80s product person and planner, the Japanese industrial style represented by Sony can definitely move your heart.
screen
Sony's screen should be said to be the top product in the world, but somehow there are always problems of one kind or another on all Sony's mobile phones. Although Sony has used the IPS screen since Z3, its low sensitivity has always been criticized. If you are used to using the iPhone, you will find that no matter in the daily phone home page or software, you can clearly feel the delay and drag of the SONY screen, and the experience is greatly reduced.
Second, this screen Under the default white balance setting of the system, the color temperature of the screen in the default mode is about 10000K, and the average △ E is up to 3.96, which is very poor, and the gray scale deviation is serious. In terms of color gamut, this screen covers 98% sRGB and 82% AdobeRGB The static contrast is about 540:1. In general, this screen performs poorly except for the support of belief.
The maximum white spot brightness of Xperia Z5 Compact's screen is 444nits manually. Although its brightness is relatively high at the bottom of the screen, its brightness distribution is relatively uniform, but it still needs to complain about its viewing angle.
System UI
The system UI seems to be Sony's short board. Some people say that the Sony UI looks ugly, but the editor doesn't think so. The Sony UI editor thinks it looks beautiful and generous. Although it doesn't feel amazing, it is easy to use. Another problem, which I didn't understand, is that the following permanent resident applications have nicknames. Well, maybe we are all using Android for the first time, and can't understand the meaning of icons.
Multitasking still exists in Xperia Z5 Compact, but is such a small screen really usable?
See the UI here Image enhancement is just a word of mouth. In fact, this is just a software technology, which is used to color and render pictures and videos. After being turned on, the color is significantly enhanced, but the actual color performance is not satisfactory, and it looks slightly distorted. Therefore, the editor does not recommend that you turn on this function.
The camera interface is not as rich as Samsung, and the default mode is fully automatic, which is also a major selling point of Sony. A major improvement of this time is that 800w pixels are no longer simply used in full automatic mode, and 2300w full pixels are added, which is said to be able to cope with all scenes.
I have been thinking about UI for a long time, but I don't know how to say it. I can only say it works. After all, unlike Samsung, which has changed its original style as a whole, it is impossible to design the entire UI more grounded and practical like domestic mobile phones. Sony fans will understand, and loveless people naturally don't care.
performance
Although Xperia Z5 Compact is the weakest under the shadow of the other two brothers. But its actual configuration is not weak at all. Like Xperia Z5's two large screen products, Xperia Z5 Compact still uses the eight core Snapdragon 810 processor Adreno 430 GPU, The only pity is that it is only equipped with 2GB running memory, which is very inappropriate in this era when 3GB/4GB is everywhere. In daily experience, the flagship of Snapdragon 810 shows its true colors. The interface operates without any stuck phenomenon. At the same time, the game experience is also very good. When playing the game in the ultra-high definition mode, the display level can reach 58.5fps.
photograph
Xperia Z5 Compact is equipped with a 23 million pixel Sony Exmor RS sensor, 0.03s ultra fast phase focusing, 5x HD zoom, a maximum of 12800 photo ISO, an upgraded Steady Shot anti shake function, and a 24mm wide-angle lens that supports 4K ultra HD video capture. However, from the actual experience, the performance of Xperia Z5 Compact is the same as all previous Xperia. It can be described in one word - "rotten". This is not to say that its effect is not good, but it is really useless. You should know that Sony is almost a monopoly in both the high-end camera field and the consumer grade mobile phone light-sensitive chip. Therefore, we not only want the performance of Sony's mobile phone, but think that it must be the best. However, everything is always true.
Because of all the decisive factors of high pixels, we can only find the Jinli E8 with a slightly higher pixel of 2400w for comparison, which has certain reference value.

The haze is not only found in the capital, but also in Shenzhen this year. Due to the different shooting times of the samples, the perception is different. Overall, Xperia Z5 Compact The performance is similar to that of Jinli E8 when the sun is sufficient in the daytime, which can show a clear sense of hierarchy. After 100% magnification, you can see The sharpness of Xperia Z5 Compact will be better, which is the consistent style of Sony. In terms of color performance, Jinli E8 will be closer to the actual appearance, while Xperia Z5 Compact The style of painting tends to be cold, which actually depends on the style of personal preference.

Sony really slapped itself in the face of night photography. First of all, from the first sample, we can see that the lens module handles the glare in complex light very poorly. The overall picture performance is very messy, and the picture is noisy. It is thought-provoking that the analytical power and the purity of the picture were lost to Jinli. The second is the white balance, which is as cold as ever. By the way, I also forgot to say that you should not turn on the 4K option if you have nothing to do during video shooting, or water cooling will not save you.
Obviously, at this stage, the IMX300 cannot be said that it has not been properly adjusted by Sony, but that it can still be used. The inaccuracy of local detail color restoration, the weak anti glare ability and the noise caused by the substantial improvement of ISO are areas in urgent need of optimization. I really love Sony.
Endurance, fast charging and heating
In terms of endurance, the one plus two and Le 1 Pro with almost the same configuration are compared. In fact, in the game part, the Z5C does not have much advantage because of the 720P screen, but rather the amazing performance of music playing and video links. Perhaps Sony's technological heritage in the walkman era has only been released since Xperia Z3.
Although the mobile phone is equipped with a 5V 1500mA charger, it can support up to 9.3V 1.2A charging mode and fast charging after small compilation.
In terms of heating, after turning off the GPU power saving mode, we ran NBA 2K15 for 90 minutes, and the highest temperature appeared on the top of the screen, up to about 46 ℃, and the back also had 46 ℃. In the Snapdragon 810, the control is not good, perhaps because the body is not conducive to heat dissipation due to waterproof reasons. There may be a little partner who wants to say, "Water cooling is OK!" Well, I still don't recommend doing this here. You know how to expand with heat and shrink with cold.
summary
Balance, perfection, criticism, emphasis, maybe these are the balance points of vision and touch that Sony has been pursuing, as well as the trade-offs between industrial flavor and humanistic flavor. Rigidity and delicacy are not enough to describe the black technology temperament represented by Sony, but it is undeniable that when you pick up Sony's products, the thick industrial temperament absolutely beats Apple's eight hammers.
Z5Compact is a strange product under Sony's thinking. As a perfect mini flagship without shrinking. The 4.6 inch 720P screen has a pixel density of 323ppi. Since it is a compact version of Xperia Z5, the resolution and pixel density are exciting in this seemingly outdated screen size. In addition to the black technology Triluminos technology, the X-Reality engine and the visual angle of the IPS screen, there is still a reason why you don't love it?
Although the aggressive G lens of Sony's mobile phone does not have much effect and makes people unable to complain about the UI design, it does not affect the love of Sony fans. The four logos of the phone body are worth 500 yuan each.
