Confused about Z5 Variants Cat 6 LTE

Braddington — Mon, 25 Jul 2016 05:15:27 GMT

Hello everyone,

I am considering replacing my Sony Xperia Z1 with a new Sony Xperia Z5. I have looked at all the variants and have written off the Z5 premium, Z5 premium dual, Z5 compact, and the E6633 version of the Z5 Dual. I also have written off the Z5 E6603 due to the disabled fingerprint sensor and lack of Cat 6 LTE-A speeds. I have narrowed it down to the Z5 E6653 and the Z5 Dual E6683. I prefer the Z5 Dual over the Z5 but I can't find out for sure if the Z5 Dual supports Cat 6 LTE-A. I know the Z5 E6653 supports Cat 6 for sure but I can't find a solid answer about the Z5 Dual. Is the Z5 E6653 the only Z5 that supports Cat 6 LTE?

As stated in the official Z5 Dual white paper, both Z5 Dual variants (E6633 and E6683) only support LTE Cat 4 Up to 50 Mbps (upload), up to 150 Mbps (download). While only Z5 (E6653) supports LTE Cat 6.

So the only variants of the Z5 series that have Cat 6 LTE is the Z5 E6653 and the Z5 Premium E6853.
