Sony introduced the 2015 flagship Xperia Z5 as the “smartphone with the best camera unit.” Now, DxOMark, a Website famous for ranking camera sensors, has apparently custom tested the smartphones like Xperia Z5, Google Nexus 6P, and many Samsung and LG devices. The site has also uploaded the overall ranking for public perusal.

DxOMark has reportedly rated the Sony Xperia Z5 as the device that produces best mobile photo and video. The scores are 88 and 86 points for photo and video, respectively. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, on the other hand, has amassed 88 and 84 points. The recently launched Google’s Huawei-made Nexus 6P has tallied a score of 86 and 79 points.

According to DxOMark, the Sony Xperia Z5’s rear-facing camera unit comes with an “impressive autofocus” that works in all environmental conditions. The site also said that the Z5 is “the best tested [device] to date." The handset apparently stands out in detail preservation, white balance and color reproduction. To top it off, this sensor also gives out very less amount of noise in low light conditions. It is worth reminding that the Xperia Z5 comes with an impressive 23-megapixel sensor at the rear.

Speaking of Sony Xperia Z5 release date, Phone Arena said that the handset will hit the store shelves starting next week in Europe. And most importantly, the Xperia Z5 price has reportedly been set at roughly 699 euros, which translates to $779. However, at this point, there is no official information available to ascertain the release date outside Europe.

Meanwhile, Google launched the much-anticipated Nexus 5P quite recently and the device is already garnering good reviews from various tech Websites across the globe. Key Nexus 5P specifications include a huge 5.7-inch AMOLED display, packed with 1,440 x 2,560 pixels screen resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection. There is a 12.3-megapixel main camera with LED flash and an 8-megapixel secondary snapper for selfies. The device comes equipped with 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB of internal storage space.
