GFXBench also places the Z5s towards the top of the crop. The graphics department posts great numbers too, nearly up there with the Samsung Galaxy S6 in Basemark X. Basemark OS IIīoth smartphones exhibit great overall performance, as indicated by the all-round Basemark OS II benchmark.

Also, the phones rejected to install some of the usual benchmarks, so here's what we managed to run. The performance may (or, likely, will) change by the time the devices are ready to hit the shelves. As for the other two, just keep in mind we're tested pre-production units running non-final software.

While we did have all three with us, the state of the Premium's software was such that it didn't allows to run any benchmarks. It is what it is, and the S810 is Qualcomm's reigning high-end solution and the obvious choice for a flagship (or an entire family of three). One possible explanation is that the 808 comes with an inferior GPU that would have choked on the 4K resolution of the Premium, while the 820 is, for all we know, simply not ready for mass release.

We can already hear the comments section complain why it's not the new 820 or the 808.

Synthetic benchmarksĪll three smartphones are powered by the same Snapdragon 810 chipset. We'd reckon that it's an issue related to our pre-production hardware as both our Z5 Premium and Z5 Compact fare better that the plain Z5 in this respect with a more solid clicking action. In all fairness, both Apple and Samsung's implementations follows the same press-then-scan logic.įingerprint sensors on the Z5, Z5 Compact, and Z5 PremiumĪnother niggle is that with the power button/fingerprint sensor recessed into the frame, it's quite difficult to press. It could be a battery endurance consideration, perhaps an always-on sensor would take too big of a toll. You can't just place your finger on the button and have it unlock the phone directly like you can on the OnePlus 2. What we're not fans of, is the fact that you need to wake the smartphone up, before it can take a reading.

That's only a few hours though, and it's unclear how it will react in tricky conditions - sweaty/dirty fingers or under water. It performed flawlessly in terms of recognition and unlocked on the first try throughout the time we spent with the devices. It works with partial prints, obviously, but you also don't need to cover the entire pad - about 2/3 will suffice. Sony has adopted a novel fingerprint sensor on the side of all three phones.
