More than an issue, the phone heats up due to recording on 4K, that's normal, with that said, the Z5 has double heatpipe so that should help mitigate the heat. The Xperia Z5 series has the best camera at the moment, above the iPhone and Samsung devices, of course you will read users encountering issues, but that's normal at a support forum.

alot of people here complaining the camera quality ,have you tested it yourself?

@Ferio1

I've tested the camera but I've seen issues with some users that were solved after they returned their devices, it seems that they had hardware issues.

[Ferio1]

so you recommend it for me?

@Ferio1

It's a great phone but only you know if you need/want a new phone, if you are looking for a new phone the Z5 series are a great option.

I recently passed my Z2 down to the wife and got a Z5P.

Camera is very evolved. 

Battery life is decent, but Z2 is still the King.

Design has improved.

I can't speak about the Z5 but the Premium rarely heats up. Z2 did a lot.

Screen is marvelous (don't really care about the 4K thing)

Reception is better when directly compared.

fingerprint scanner works brilliantly with dry fingers. when wet - 50% success.

I got the black version and fingerprints are barely visible.

I've been lucky to not have any of the issues people describe here. The minor S/W glitch here and there, but nothing a few updates can't fix. 

I would recommend the Premium if within price range. Seems quality control was better and th extra screen estate and battery make a world of difference.
