The Sony Xperia Z5 carries a $599 price tag while the Xperia Z5 Compact costs $499 for the unlocked variants of the handsets.
Kunihiko Shiomi, president of Sony Mobile Communications North America, sums it up perfectly when he said: “Building a stable business in the U.S. market continues to be an important area of focus in helping Sony Mobile pursue profit by optimizing business scale. We are excited about the introduction of Xperia Z5 and Xperia Z5 Compact unlocked in the U.S., particularly as we see a growing trend in the unlocked market.”

On the other hand, the Xperia Z5 Compact boasts a 4.6-inch display with 2GB of RAM on board. The Xperia Z5 comes with a 2,900 mAh battery while its smaller sibling ships with 2,700 mAh battery.
