Z5 doesn't handle the unaware touch at the edge of screen?

[MagicKyle]

My palm always touchs the bottom-right corner of touchscreen involuntarily. It's really a bad experience.

So the issue is that the touchscreen works as it should, since it detects your palm, that's not an issue, what you could do is hold the phone differently, you will have the same experience if you use a phone with the same screen size.

But the same gesture works well in iPhone & iPad.

I've made a comparison here -> https://youtu.be/P0Mwyj4A_7A

I don't see what am I looking at, I thought it was a video but its a video of one image? I don't get it.

Home page of Amazon was opened in Chrome. When my palm tapped the bottom-right edge of touchscreen,

• iOS recognized the tap which was caused by a palm rather than a finger, so it made no reaction.
• Z5 captured the tap which had held for a while and the tap was on a hyperlink, so it poped the menu up.

I believe iOS's behavior is right.

I don't think that's the reason, I think it's more of the bezel size, do contact Sony directly with your feedback >> Local support

"Xperia Care" suggested me to try a phone case. lol

I found a video which shows Z3 has the excellent anti-unaware touch capability. In this video, Z3 has the same behavior as iOS does.

I can test it, just be more specific on what you want me to test, I'll try to recreate this on a Z, Z3, Z5 and Z5 premium and iphone 6 

 The time I do see this action is if I use my T2 Ultra, but then again the screen size of this device is 6in

So kind you are! @uliwooly

Please test it: one hand(palm) is pressing on the edge of touchscreen while the other hand(finger) is tapping (& moving) on the touchscreen.

For example, On the home page of my Z5, once a very little piece of skin touchs the screen edge unintentionally (hard to avoid it), android launcher will enter the edit mode if the touch last for seconds or launch an App if the touch is on an icon by coincidence.

On web pages, the same gesture may trigger hyperlinks if the touch is on a link or scale page if another finger is moving.
