Sony fans and users can also expect that the device will have similar features as the Z5 Premium which was unveiled last week during the IFA 2015 in Berlin, Germany.

First in line is the Sony Xperia Z5.

The Z5 Premium is essentially the same phone as the Xperia Z5, but it shows its premium quality in the display department. “So it kind of was a logical step to make it into a smartphone”, said “Which” magazine journalist Andrew Laughlin.

As it turns out, the mini device Sony Xperia Z5 Compact apparently offers excellent 3D graphics performance.

The Xperia M5 is the first Sony smartphone to be equipped with a powerful 64-bit 2GHz octa-core MediaTek MT679 Helio X10 processor, which is complemented by a PowerVR G6200 graphics processing unit and no less than 3GB of RAM.

Xperia M5 Dual sports a waterproof design and is dist-tight with a capless USB port. It comes with expandable memory with up to 200 GB card support.

Obviously, the Xperia M5 will come preloaded with Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system right out of the box. In a tweet sent earlier today the company surprised fans by announcing that Android 5.1 Lollipop is now rolling now for the Xperia Z series, along with the more recent (yet still more than a year old) Sony Xperia T2 Ultra.

In terms of camera specs, the Xperia Z5 is no pushover and boasts a 23-megapixel rear facing main camera and a 5-megapixel front facing secondary camera. The Xperia Z5 Premium also packs a bigger 3,430mAh battery.

Finally the Xperia Z5 Compact, a powerful device packed in a small package. The Z5 Compact has a 4.6 inch IPS display with a resolution of 720p (1,280 x 720).

The Compact drops the frosted glass and metal frame chassis in favor of high-quality and sturdier polycarbonate material.
