Cons
Nothing much, just be careful while putting your Xperia Z5 inside dock, otherwise it may fall down and your device is damaged. There is no AC adapter provided with dock, so you have to use your own.
It is a worthy accessory if you don’t like your handset being placed here and there while charging. Let’s us know if you have been using it. Drop your comments below.
