Headlining the Z5’s number of upgrades is a Snapdragon 778G processor that is now paired with up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB UFS 3.1 internal storage. The display gets a size bump at 6.67-inches and now gets a punch-hole for the 16-megapixel selfie snapper while retaining the 120hz refresh rate. The battery now bigger at 5000mAh, though charging speeds are slower with a 44w FlashCharge solution.
Like the Z3, the Z5 has a triple rear camera setup that consists of a 64-megapixel main camera, 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and 2-megapixel macro camera. It comes with Android 11-based OriginOS out of the box, though expect global units to have FunTouchOS–and have Google services as well.
Other features include a headphone jack, stereo speakers, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
