When a terminal is for sale, the most common questions we are usually asked are the price, a hardware or his looks, but We rarely think about his resistance. The “top class” though, they are happy to analyze everywhere, including so-called “torture tests”.
In this case, Sony’s Xperia Z5 Premium goes to the emergency room. This device was considered one of the best Android terminals of 2015 for its 5.5-inch 4K screen, its 23-megapixel camera or its mostly metal body. plus. With all this and more Cánido the Xperia Z5 withstand burns, bends and scratches?.
Sony Xperia Z5 Premium torture test
Jerry Rig is the famous “Estrella de youtube” responsible for the “torture” of the Xperia Z5 in this case. It is worth remembering that the Z5 is a terminal resistant to water and dust, with a 4K screen with 806 pixels per inch and anti-scratch protection. Strictly speaking, its screen is the first component to be put to the test with different efforts up to 10 different degrees of hardness.
The scratches are only aparente up to level 6, from level 7 they get big. So, in that sense, the Z5 Premium’s screen is what it should be, with behavior afín to the screens sporting the latest Gorilla Glass. Of course, we don’t have to worry about storing our Z5 with our keys.
Where this Z5 Premium disappoints us is the lens asegurador, which is made of plastic. Therefore, it is very sensitive to scratches to the point that sharp keys could be damaged there. The frame around the camera also doesn’t seem to come into its own as it’s not very thick.
At this point, this Xperia Z5 Premium is now in front of the burn test, where its pixels are put to the test with mild heat. Unfortunately, after a few minutes after the flare, the pixels turn black (habitual behavior in most terminals), but if we continue to apply this heat a white spot appears in the center of the “burn”and these pixels no longer revert to their original color and blacks.
Finally, this Z5 goes through a loop test, Bending stress by our hands. Thanks to him we cánido know that bending ability by several terminals that perro be supported in our back pocket, for example.
Let’s do it, This device fails miserably in this test, where the locking button snaps or pops off the body after significant effort of the device and cracks throughout the frame. However, it should be noted that its panel is still 100% functional. Other devices have afín behavior, like the Nexus 6P, the HTC One M9, or even the iPhone 6, where the lock button is most influential.
In short, Sony’s “top of the range”. It could improve on any of those extremes, but it’s not a fragile device either. It would only be necessary to include a lens asegurador for your camera and avoid bending efforts.
What do you think about the resilience of this mobile phone?
