Sony Xperia Z5

Persevered with an iPhone 5 for 3 years - and I'm an Apple fan.  But flat battery by lunchtime forces me to look at the other side.  

I travel and extended battery life is everything to me.

 

Anyone here road tested a Xperia with the long life battery claims?

 

Thanks

    I'm only a newbie in the Apple sphere and I've got an iPhone 6 and the battery life is sensational - far superior to anything I've used before (mainly Blackberry).

    At the time of purchase, they told me that the extended battery life on the 6 was one of the big improvements from the 5, so it might be worth checking out.

    My phone gets heavy usage at certain times during work and the 6 has always come through - battery almost always lasts through the day. 

    It's a quick re-charge too, which is beneficial if you're on the road and only have a small window of time to juice it up again.

    Definitely true... I went from on iPhone 5 to an iPhone 6 and the battery life is now so much better.  If you like the Apples interface and OS and battery life is the deciding factor to you wanting to change, then I would definitely upgrade to an iPhone 6 if I were you, radar.

    I am an Apple fan - iPhone 3 for 3 years and i5 past three. I don't stream , don't face book, rarely watch you tube and never play games. 

    I hammer Viber, Wattsapp, Wechat though. 

    I can reach zero from full charge in 3 1/2 hours. Genius Bar tell me that's "within specification".

     

    They've updated iOS, factory reset it, replaced the battery and replaced the phone. 

    No good. 

    I recently read an article online - 34 ways to improve iPhone Battery life. I implemented all 34, turning off things I did not even know existed like saying "Hey SIRI". 

    34 modifications, new LOW POWER MODE SETTING - and no difference. Maybe four hours. 

    My nephew and mate both report high battery usage on iPhone 6. 

    The Guardian review says "Great phone but rubbish battery." Thanks for your comments but I really worry the 6 will let me down. 

    From reviews the 6 Plus seems better than the 6. Do you guys have the 6, 6S or Plus?  

    I have a MacBook, not keen on learning an android but the quoted 2 day battery life on the is tempting. 

    Thanks

    Switched from iPhone to a Huawei.

     

    5.5 inch screen, 32 hours over a day and a half (ok 8 hours sleep) and $299 from Harvey Norman.  

     

    Looks like a 6s Plus.  Everyone thinks I've got an apple.

     

     Thousand bucks cheaper, got the big screen, excellent battery life and i'm learning Android.

     

    Back in Australia, Nice people at Genius Bar replaced my 3 year old iPhone 5 After I bought the Huawei.

     

    Makes the iPhone a nice spare traveler.

     

    Incidentally - punished the new iPhone 5 today.  100 % to zero.  Three and a half hours.

     

    Not expecting a free replacement from Huawei in three years if I've got issues.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
