A more accurate and natural display
The Xperia Z5 compact, as seen on the comparison, showcased a better blending of color accuracy and natural colours, which helped the latter get as much of the display as possible. To be fair, the more brighter iPhone 6S was able to par up at some points in the display department, but in the end, ultimately stepped back on the more clear and sharp, as well as detail accurate display of the Xperia Z5 compact, which eventually led to the Xperia Z5 Compact’s victory in the display round.

Excellent low light and daylight still image shooting
In still image shooting, the iPhone 6S put up a pretty good fight, however, the Xperia Z5 Compact’s very accurate colour blending and spot-on white balance, combined with a more detailed and balanced exposure was truly enough to give it the win. In low light, while on 8MP resolution for maximum low light shooting, it is clearly seen that the Xperia Z5 Compact’s 23MP rear shooter is doing its job heavily, which is expected from the world’s hailed no.1 camera shooter. A good blending of excellent detail preservation, colour blending accuracy and a pinpoint white balance gave way for the Xperia Z5 Compact to shine in the daylight, lowlight still image shooting department.

Superior 4K UHD video recorder
Both devices carry in its arsenal 4K UHD video recorders, which is set to dominate the flagship market in the Philippines. However, by the looks of things, the Xperia Z5 Compact’s colour accurate, spot-on white balance and great detail – preservation in recording, was the one to gave us much interest. Don’t get us wrong though, the iPhone 6S’ 4K UHD video recording was top notch at its own right, it just happens that teh Xperia Z5 Compact’s latest technology in video recording played out a better role in providing excellent and detailed video outputs than the iPhone 6S, which eventually sky rocketed the latter into owning the video recording department.

Better battery life
We took things into a new by providing this review comparison with an immediate battery comparison for both the Xperia Z5 Compact and iPhone 6S. We put both phones in a standardized battery test, which settled the phones on 50% brightness level while on flight mode and the volume was off, which we played a 2 hour movie. On the battery test, the Xperia Z5 Compact was able to play out for 11 hours and 6 minutes, while the iPhone 6S was only able to last for 10 hours and 30minutes, seeing the Xperia Z5 Compact the undoubted victor of the battery test, which was extremely amazing of the device.

A more affordable take than the iPhone 6S
Currently, the iPhone 6S is expected to be priced at around Php 33-32K here in the Philippines, which is relatively higher than the Php 29K price set for the Xperia Z5 Compact, though the iPhone 6S is being offered for plans  by a few communication companies in the Philippines, to us, the actually but of the device is a more affordable take, since prolonging the plan will eventually get you to a more higher paid price than the one time pay of Php 29K of the Xperia Z5 Compact, giving it, without a shadow of a doubt, a more highly considerable worthwhile pay.
