  Its way taller yes, but not much wider and waaay slimmer. I have both and in the hand the 5 almost feels smaller.

  That being said, the 21:9 Aspect ratio makes certain things annoying to use, especially Apps that place UI elemts on the top.

    Are you by any chance comparing to the XZ2 Compact? That one was an outlier. The others in the Compact line (see my link) were much closer to the Xperia 5 in thickness.

      Trust me I know my Z compacts ;). I got em all but the Z3. Its hard to describe but the Z1 feels kinda thick and bulky. The 5 I feels nicer honestly. That being said XZ1 still is my #1 in terms of Hand feel.

      The XZ2 feels the worst sadly. I hate the odd shape and I sometimes get cramps typing. But thats an issue with the entire XZ2 and XZ3 Line. Thank god they went away with that odd shape in future Sony phones

      Z5 Compact is also very nice, but I couldn’t find IT atm to fit in the shot.
