As reported earlier, the Japanese company has officially announced the Sony Xperia Z5 and the Xperia Z5 Premium in India at Rs 52,990 and Rs 62,990, respectively. The Premium smartphone will be available next month on November 7, while the Xperia Z5 can be purchased just after 2 days i.e. October 23rd. Currently, the company has no plans for releasing the smaller Z5 Compact in India.
The standard Xperia Z5 is kind of an upgrade to the Xperia flagship series, while the Z5 Premium takes things to next level on the display front. Undoubtedly, both the Sony smartphones will face higher completion in the already crowded market, and the closest rivals will be the Samsung Galaxy Note5, iPhone 6s, and the Google Nexus 6P.
