Sony Xperia Z5 vs Samsung Galaxy S6 vs Apple iPhone 6: specs comparison
With its hot new batch of devices that got unveiled at IFA 2015, Sony is once again in the race for cutting-edge devices. Its Xperia Z5 Premium is the first phone in the world to come with a 4K display with a ludicrous pixel density (801ppi), but the two other handsets that got unveiled a while ago are definitely interesting on their own, too.
The Xperia Z5 will have the cumbersome task to wage war on the creme de la creme of the smartphone world. In such a crowded market, a device has to be rather outstanding in order to sport even the tiniest chance of trumping down the more popular devices out there, and judging from what we're seeing, the Xperia Z5 is exactly such a phone.
