What is an unlocked phone?An unlocked phone is a device that is not bound to any carrier or plan. It allows you to choose your phone first and your carrier second. Upon selecting a plan, simply insert the carrier's SIM card into the phone and you're ready to go. If you decide you want to change carriers down the road or want to take an international trip, it's as simple as replacing your existing SIM card with a new SIM and activating your new plan. |
What are the benefits of an unlocked phone?Freedom: Choose the carrier with the best service or price. If you find a better deal later, you have the ability to change to a different carrier. Travel: Take your phone internationally and use the carrier of your choice. It's as easy as inserting an active SIM card. Selection: Choose the phone with the features you want, whether or not your carrier sells it, and get more service options without a contract. |
How do I set up my unlocked phone?The first thing you’ll need is a SIM card for your desired carrier. When activated, the SIM card will let your phone connect to your carrier’s network. If you decide to upgrade to a newer unlocked phone in the future, you can easily remove the SIM card from your old phone and put it in your new phone—just make sure you get the right size of SIM card (nano, micro, or standard) for your phone. If you want to use your phone while traveling internationally, you can easily buy a SIM card for a carrier that operates where you’re traveling. As long as it’s activated, you can just swap SIM cards when you arrive at your destination. |

I got caught up in the whole Pokemon Go fad for a month or three. During that time, my phone experienced incredible battery drain which makes sense considering how taxing the game is. The phone also got really hot, which I figured would be an issue (Snapdragon 810 processor is known for this), but it was also a hot summer, so that didn't help much either. Still though, there were multiple occasions where it got noticeably hot quickly, and that didn't really sit well with me.
Fortunately, I played so much Go that I got physically and mentally ill, so I've since cut the game cold turkey. But I can't help but think that there are some lingering issues. The battery life wasn't the same as before Go. Instead of being 75%-ish at the end of the day, it's now 50%-60%. That's not terrible, but I feel uncomfortable with going a second day without charging.
The bigger issue, and most would agree is more problematic, is the screen. I can't quite explain it, but the sensitivity gets wonky. When I view a webpage (or app or whatever with scrolling content) I'll do a gentle swipe up to scroll down, suddenly the page just jumps to the bottom of the screen like I did an intentional hard swipe. I even experimented with it. I held my finger down on the screen to move the page content, when I gently release my finger, the page still jumps as if I did an extreme swipe. Granted, it doesn't happen right away. To solve the issue, I just power button-lock the screen and then unlock it, then it works fine. But after an indeterminate amount of time, it'll happen again. It really is annoying, but I like the phone too much to chuck it.
Oh and I believe that "double-tap-to-wake" feature may have been the cause of the flashlight/bluetooth/airplane mode turning on by itself in my pocket. Since turning that feature off, I've really had no issues with that. That's the end of that chapter.
Coming from a Galaxy S3 (with Zerolemon extended battery) that lasted 3+ years, the difference between the two phones is night and day. Definitely larger, less curvy, and thinner. The Z5 feels very premium if not a little on the fragile side. I've heard reports in the past (especially with the Z3) of the screens self-cracking, so I wasn't going to take any chances with this phone. I also ordered a tempered glass screen protector and a clear TPU case and threw those on before anything else.
It's only been a few days, and these are my observations thus far:
Spent the first two days playing with the Z5 and updating it. An update was available right out of the box. This can be done either through the phone itself or by connecting it to the computer and installing Sony's Xperia Companion software (which I didn't mind.) There were a lot of features to play with. Won't be getting bored any time soon. One thing to note: the volume buttons are on the lower-right side of the phone, as opposed to the Galaxy S3's upper-left side. It takes some getting used to. Some have said that it's simply poor placement, but it's really not that bad. It might be annoying if you're right-handed, but I could see left-handers having an easier time. It's left-hander friendly! And for the record, I could care less about the lack of fingerprint scanner support. I don't think it's a needed feature, and definitely not a deal-breaker. My S3 didn't have one, so I don't believe I'm missing out.
Today was my first real day of having it in my pocket while at work. I don't wear tight pants, but the phone is thinner than what I'm used to, so I remained aware of the potential of it bending in my pocket. I charged the phone overnight to 100%. As of this writing (around 4:13 PM), I'm down to 76%. Granted, I wasn't using the camera heavily or playing any games yet or had the screen on for a prolonged period of time. But as it stands, I can easily get two days out of this thing.
Here's something of interest: I guess Android 6.0 has a feature called "Double-tap to Wake", where you can simply double-tap the display and it'll come on so you can unlock the device from there. Very nice feature! I always think that I'm wearing down the power button with the constant screen turning on and off. BUT, over the course of the work day and having the phone in my pocket, I noticed on two occasions that the flashlight mode was shining in my pocket. Somehow, it enabled itself in my pocket and I know I locked the device. I also noticed that my bluetooth was on, and I had no recollection of turning that on as well. I suspect that the "Double-tap to Wake" feature is so sensitive that it's turning on in my pocket, sliding around, and sliding the notification bar down and pressing random settings off and on. Even in my pocket, the screen must be very sensitive! There's apparently a "Glove mode" that makes it easier to interact with the screen while wearing gloves. This mode was turned off. I've since turned off the "Double-tap to Wake" feature. I'll report back if I'm still having issues with this.
I was a little apprehensive that the screen isn't gorilla glass; my screens tend to crack over time, which is why a screen protector and case were a MUST! This phone is SOLID, it does have a little software quirks since it is unlocked - like a 'Cell Information' notification that can be a bit of a pain to keep off the notification bar (If you want to remove it you have to go to Settings->Sound and Notifications->App Notifications->Cell Information->click on the i in a circle-> Force Stop -- the notification will come back upon restart); a small Snapchat quirk that makes you do a bit of extra work to get to the right screen (some of the menu options dont function on certain screens, you have to go to the main camera screen before being able to see other people's stories). I am sure there are other small app quirks too, but these small quirks are easy for me to look over for a great water-resistant aluminum bodied unlocked smartphone that costs under 500 bucks. Recommended for those that like solid unlocked android phones. Slap a screen protector on it, get a case, and live yo life like a boss with a new phone.
I am particularly impressed with the headphone output on this phone. resolution and quality of output are on par with an HTC One M8. The M8 has the edge in absolute power output but this phone is capable of making good use of a Tidal account on the go. Has enough power to drive the Shure Srh-1840 to uncomfortable levels. Doesn't seem to mind hte ultra-low impedance of the Shure SE846 although absolute refinement of sound seems to take a slight hit compared to the HTC one M8. Four hours of Tidal streaming @ CD quality seemed to eat about 10% of the phones battery driving the SRH-1840 and the screen mostly off which I consider to be another solid showing.
Especially for the money, I feel its quite a nice device.
