Macro focus problem

Hi all

I have bought a SONY Xperia Z5 few days ago, and I have a little bit of a camera problem. When you try to take a close range photo (real close range - 3cm or less) the camera can't focus. The macro of the camera is dreadful. I work in an Authorised Samsung service centre and I have tried the same with a low price SAMSUNG telephones and the pictures are clear. This is caried out with a device that has a 5MP camera (GT-I8260). This is SONY's flagship model, and the advertisement is "the best camera in a smartphone". I have set up the camera's focus mode on "touch focus" the meetering on "spot" and still the pictures are blurry. I hope that i'm missiong out on something, because I'll be very dissapointed. Logic says that the best camera in a smartphone can not have the worst macro in a smartphone. Please assist me with my problem. Here's a picture for your confirmation. Thank you

When taking a photo that close, i'm afraid the camera may not be able to focus. The minimum focus distance of the camera in Z5 is 120mm.
