Coming from the debacle of Xperia Z3+, Sony needed to bring out a product which would not only restore users' faith, but also get it back in the game with a bang. And the Xperia Z5 Dual does it remarkably well for Sony.
For a phone which is marred with heating issues, does not provide a Quad HD display, is incapable of recording 4K videos, and whose camera performance in general is not in the league of flagships, Himanshu Juneja wonders if Sony has once again got is pricing all wrong.
