Best Sony Xperia Z5 deals

Sony's Xperia Z5 range are the best of bunch when it comes to what the Japanese firm has to offer. The Xperia camera has been taken to the next level, offering 23 megapixels and a new hybrid auto focus mode designed to help you get the right shot, first time, every time. We've tested it and can attest to the excellent camera and it's also got great battery life and a lovely 5.2-inch IPS full HD screen. As usual with the Z series, it's also waterproof and this year comes with a fingerprint scanner for added security and easier unlocking. On this page you'll find all of the best Xperia Z5 deals so you can be sure you get the best price for the next generation Sony phone.

The UK's best Xperia Z5 deal:

Vodafone network | Free phone | Unlimited calls and texts | 6GB data | £35pm
Vodafone holds the top spot this month with a great deal that offers a lot of internet, a free phone and all for a really cheap price. You won't find a deal with around 6GB of internet that is this good anywhere else. We'd recommend this one for the average user, but keep looking if you need a lot more internet. Total cost of this deal is £840 over 24 months.

O2 network | Free phone | Unlimited calls and texts | 3GB data | £31pm
O2 is doing great this month - if you're not looking for as much internet as the deal above you can save a bit of your cash and go for a slightly cheaper deal here. You still get a free phone, unlimited calls, unlimited texts and a worthwhile 3GB of data. Plus on top of that you'll also get a free pair of Sony headphones in white. Total cost of this deal is £744 over 24 months.

O2 network | Free phone | Unlimited calls and texts | 10GB | £45pm
This is a great deal if you're after a lot of internet. If you're happy to be on the red network we'd recommend this over everything else on the list. When you add up the total cost over the 24 months it works out to be almost as the cheaper deals above because this offers up £216 cashback on day one. Total cost of this deal is £864 over 24 months.

32GB: Free phone | Unlimited calls and texts | 4GB data | £34.99pm
This is a great Xperia Z5 deal, offering a great balance of monthly fee, excellent allowances and most importantly a free phone. You end up paying a lot more than the deal above, but this is free to start with and the phones cost is split between 24 monthly payments. Plus there's a good amount of data here with 4GB. Total cost of this deal is £839.76 over 24 months

32GB: Free phone | Unlimited calls and texts | 10GB data | £44.99pm
If you want a fantastic Xperia Z5 deal on EE and you need lots of data, this is the one for you. Hopefully 10GB is enough data for you as EE isn't offering up unlimited deals and you're only paying £10 extra a month more than the 4GB deal above. Total cost of this deal is £1079.76 over 24 months

Best Sony Xperia Z5 deals on O2

The network with extras like O2 Priority

32GB: Free phone | Unlimited calls and texts | 3GB data | £31pm
Back in 2015, this deal dropped by £5 making it our favourite on O2. Here you get a good amount of data as well as unlimited calls, texts and your free phone. Plus O2 offer up benefits like O2 Priority that allows you into events before anyone else and even a £1 lunch once a week. Sadly the pair of Sony headphones that were included in this deal last month aren't part of the deal anymore. Total cost of this deal is £744 over 24 months.

32GB: Free phone | Unlimited calls and texts | 5GB data | £39pm
This deal is a good one on O2 from little heard of retailer, e2save. A free phone is always welcome and you also get unlimited minutes and texts, 5GB data and all for £39pm. That's a pretty balanced deal and much better than some of the deals we though were good last month. Though you might say that it's not quite as attractive as the EE deals above. Total cost of this deal is £936 over 24 months.

32GB: Free phone | Unlimited calls and texts | 20GB data | £51pm
If you're after lots of data and a free Xperia Z5, you're going to have to pay for it. This deal isn't particularly cheap but it does offer up a huge 20GB of data and a free phone as well as unlimited minutes and texts. It's quite a bit more per month than the 10GB deal from EE above this, but it's still pretty good value in our book and gives you double that amount of data. Only think about getting this if you're a real power user though. Total cost of this deal is £1224 over 24 months.

32GB: Free phone | Unlimited calls and texts | 6GB data | £35pm
This is a great deal on Vodafone, once again via Mobile Phones Direct, and it's even cheaper than deals with only 4GB of internet were last month. This time you get an extra 2GB and it only costs £35. We do like the deal above, especially with the cashback, but we'd recommend getting this one as it's only £1 more a month for that extra data. Total cost of this deal is £840 over 24 months.

32GB: Free phone | Unlimited calls and texts | 10GB | £45pm
If 6GB just isn't enough, this is the next best deal for data lovers. It's 10GB with a free phone, unlimited everything else for £45 per month.. This is certainly the best data-tastic option we can find on Vodafone right now, and if you buy soon it comes with £216 cashback to make it a load cheaper over the two years.

Best Sony Xperia Z5 deals on Three

The network with unlimited data

32GB: £39.00 phone | Unlimited calls, texts and data | £54pm
Three hasn't been stocking the Xperia Z5 long, so the network is still trying to work out its deals in full. At the moment there aren't any free phones, but you only have to pay around £40 for the phone outright. The best option is probably this unlimited data package Three offers and you can get that combined with unlimited calls and texts for £54 a month. It's not particularly cheap, but if you're a really heavy data user this may be your choice. Total cost of this deal is £1335.99 over 24 months.

Get this deal: from Three

32GB: £39.00 phone | unlimited minutes and texts | 2GB data | £42pm
If you want the benefits Three's network offers, this could be your choice, but it's not all that much less than the unlimited deal above. You get 2GB of data without having to pay a huge amount of money for unlimited data like the deal above. Total cost of this deal is £1047 over 24 months.

Get this deal: from Three

32GB: £39.00 phone | Unlimited calls and texts | 8GB data | £48pm
Once again, this isn't the best deal out there. But if you want to be on Three and need more data than 2GB but not as much as unlimited, this could be the best choice for you. Three offers benefits such as free 4G internet and the Feel At Home package that allows you to travel to over 20 different countries without spending extra on using your phone. Total cost of this deal is £1191 over 24 months.
