After watching this forum for a month and spending 2 weeks with my Z5P I am a bit astonished by the number of complaints on the forum and I think it's time to be fair...
This device is stunning. I have the chrome version with 64GB storage card and dual sim ( one Roaming and one LTE ).
- Screen is incredibly crisp. I'm on 320 dpi here and I find it pleasing.
- Battery is lasting a good day ( 8 AM till 11 PM ) with moderate to heavy usage ( 3 hours whatsapp messages/calls + outlook + soundcloud + 1 hour browsing etc... ) and I'm never worried about the battery even on 320 dpi.
- Heating has never been observed, a little warm sometimes but just like other phones under load. Weather is 27C here. I don't do gaming so I am not sure about this one but watching youtube or videos never make the device hot.
- Camera is too picky and I had to take my time to get used to it. After playing with settings this phone can take incredibly good pics even under low light.
- I still like the design as I find it very elegant. Bezels don't annoy me as they are very useful in landscape mode else I wouldn't have had enough room for my thumbs.
- Speakers are fine, a bit unbalanced but that depends on what I'm playing. Loudness is good.
- Fingerprint scanner is a bit picky but with time I learned how to configure it so that it works 80% of the time. Still not 100% but then my laptop fingerprint scanner isn't 100% accurate.
- I got the QC 2.0 charger included and charging time is 1h 10 mins - 1h 40 mins from 15% to 100% depending on what's running in background although the charging rate exceeds 2000 mAh as reported by AIDA64, it tends to go down to 200-500 mAh at 90%
- Device is very fast and little to no hiccups under intensive tasks ( i'm on 320dpi so... ) but I hope for a faster boot time. 50 secs is till OK.
So far No FPS, Wifi, Battery, heat, speaker, charging or performance issue as reported which makes me believe that some users got either faulty units or different firmware.
My only annoyance is that the screen is super sensitive and sometimes I can tap without touching the screen, just by hovering but I have yet to see if a screen protector or tempered glass will do the trick as I'm using none.
Just a subjective review...
Cheers.
