Sony Xperia Z5 release date and price UK
You've only got a month to wait for the Sony Xperia Z5 as it will arrive in October – an exact release date is still to be confirmed.
Sony has only said that the 'pricing will reflect the premium quality of the smartphone' which is pretty vague. However, we can expect it to sell for a similar amount to previous flagship Xperia Z phones around £550.
Update: Clove has announced the Z5 will cost £525 which isn't far off our estimate.
Sony Xperia Z5 specs and new features
You'll notice that the design of the Xperia Z5 is a little different with the frosted glass rear cover but more importantly the new flat and rectangular power button. We prefer the look of the old iconic round one but this change is due to the addition of a fingerprint scanner. Sony admits that it's late to the party on this but claims it's the best.
The processor inside the Z5 is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810. That's the same as the Z3+ (the Z4 in Japan) which was something of a filler device until the Z5 launched.
As well as the fingerprint scanner, another key new feature is the upgraded camera which is the first change in this department since the Xperia Z1. It's now 23Mp (up from 21Mp) and Sony claims it has the fastest autofocus at 0.03 seconds, x5 Clear Image zoom and the best low light performance.
The phone is still waterproof (up to IP68) and will be available in for colour options: white, graphite black, gold and green. A remaining feature, which some other rivals have taken away, is a Micro-SD card slot which can take up to 200GB.
