Sony details which devices will get Android Marshmallow

“Sony Mobile and Verizon Wireless have made the decision not to introduce Xperia Z4v to the United States market”. For a company that loves to brag about its latest accomplishments, the Mac maker surprisingly said nothing of this new functionality when it unveiled the new devices last month.

Do you remember that Sony Xperia Z4 variant that was custom-made for Verizon – the Xperia Z4v?

On the other hand, a few Xperia Z5 Compact owners have reportedly been able to overcome the touch issues at least temporarily by throttling the chipset to lower the temperatures, albeit apparently this method didn’t work for everyone.

Recombu also did a review of Sony Xperia Z5’s camera, and the site also has only good things to say about the device’s 23-megapixel shooter, highlighting the superb performance of camera when used with Sony’s Superior Auto mode.

I’d call the news unfortunate, but the Xperia Z5 has now been announced (full specs) and so this phone probably needed to be cancelled sooner. The Xperia Z5 will be released globally this October. The port is waterproof just like the headphone jack on the top.

If Sony plans to shut its smartphone business then it will not be the first time for the company to part ways with a loss making units, as previously did with Vaio brand a year ago. Its audio capture is also much clearer compared to the iPhone 6s Plus, but what do you guys think?

Sony Mobile makes really nice phones. Verizon and Sony announced this phone back in June, and there was supposed to be a big marketing push over the summer. By not focusing on this new feature, Apple is minimizing its risk exposure to users who might otherwise intentionally dunk their phones. If you’re a keen user of your smartphone camera you might want to consider how they stand up against each other in this respect.

The Z5’s 5.2in, 1,920×1,080 resolution display is one of Sony’s best yet, as our colour calibrator showed it was displaying a massive 99.4% of the sRGB colour gamut.
