Dispointing z5 premium brightness display

[Roberto17]

I'm a Sony fan as usual I buy any new Sony flagship mobile, recently I bought z5 premium, unfortunately I'm so disappointed because the screen is not as I expected from Sony If you compare with z3, you will see a much better quality screen and better details due higher screen brightness on z3, 4k technology it doesn't make diffrant if you have lower brightness, the z3 screen is the best screen even if you compare with iPhone or Samsung screens

You are aware that in the provided pic, the z5 clearly had better detail and colour no?

Z5 compact have too low brightness. I hope it will be corrected soon!

No actually even the color on z3 is better, it's just not clear in the photo because it's in dark room and the camera can't handle it

Z5, Z5 compact and z5 premium they are almost same brightness, Z3+ is better but Z3 is the best screen especially when you put super vivid options makes the screen amazing!!

I'm sorry to hear that you're not happy with the display brightness in Z5 Premium.

The maximum display brightness in Z5 Premium is the same as in Z3, 600 candela.

If you see a difference it could be because of adaptive brightness, you can try disable this under Settings -> Display and then adjust display brightness manually.

The maximum display brightness in Z5 Compact and Z5 is 700 candela.

How about adjusting the auto brightness algorithm so the full brughtness is set when needed, vice versa.

On previous models such as the Z3 auto brightness just worked fine... the SW needs fine tuning and bug fixing.

When you enable adaptive brightness, it will still base the brightness on what you have selected under brightness level. So if you want the display more bright, you need to slide the slider to the right with adaptive brightness enabled.

But we are aware that when you unlock the screen, the display brightness might be too bright for a few seconds before it's reduced to normal levels. This will be fixed in the update to Android 6.0.

Hi @Rickard when will android 6.0 be available? The adaptive brightness bug is so annoying and I'm forced to disable it until it's fixed. Also the mobile radio active bug in lollipop needs fixing. Check my recent post regarding this.

I don't have any information on when the update will be released at the moment. For the latest information i recommend that you keep checking our blog.
