The Sony Xperia Z5 trio is one of the highlight show makers of the 2015 smartphone lineup. They delivered really amazing performances in the camera category, as well as in the performance category. Though, the littlest of the three, the Xperia Z5 Compact become one of our personal favourites. Our reason? well because it’s rather cute.

We’ve already had our time with the Nokia Lumia 1020 and we were quite surprised with it. The now 3-year-old Nokia Lumia 1020 seems to still be able to keep up with the rest of the pack, as it performed quite well on our Lumia 950XL vs Lumia 1020 shoot off, which you can personally go to by clicking below. The Nokia Lumia 1020 simply was ahead of its time and despite having a 41MP powerhouse rear shooter, the phone itself simply can’t keep up, due to its limited software and hardware. Right now, though, the Nokia Lumia 1020 is still available via online stores.

Recently, Huawei released a new 5-2-incher phone, in the form of the Huawei P9. This device carries a pretty intriguing camera and when i mean intriguing, i mean dual rear camera shooters. The Huawei P9 has a 12MP dual camera shooter, backed up by a phase detection autofocus feature. Take note, these shooters are not ordinary, these are Leica optics lens-equipped shooters, which in doubt is top-notch on its own. These dual shooters are truly impressive in their own right and should be considered, when in the sight of a more recent beastly camera phone.

Apple looks to be as simple as possible when delivering these iPhones, but they also seem to focus on the quality and capability of their phones as well.

Nevertheless, two upcoming Xperia X-series handsets are already starting to break records and make a name for themselves, despite not exactly arriving yet, there none other than the Xperia X and Xperia X Performance handsets.
