Differences between the original Sony Xperia cover and the copy. Original back cover Sony Xperia Z5, Z5 Premium, Z5 Compact
They have caps that cover the SIM slot, microSD memory card and microUSB slot. It will not be a secret that over time, these very plugs may become unusable if they are opened quite often - the rubber edging crumbles or the user, due to carelessness, could damage, break or accidentally remove such a valve. This may seem like a real problem to many, which can only be solved in a service center, but I dare to assure you that replacing the plugs with Sony Xperia you can do it yourself - it's not at all difficult.
And so, first of all, if your plugs have become unusable, then you need to get new ones. You can buy them on AliExpress by choosing an option for your model from the best seller, assessing his rating and reading reviews about the product from other buyers.
To remove the old plugs, first of all, you need to see what kind of hole for their fastening. The tailbone of the fastener of the valve itself has a slightly expanded trapezoidal shape, which allows it to be securely fixed in the body.
Note that the hole is not round, but slightly oblong at some angle. To remove the plug, you need to turn it parallel to the angle of inclination of the hole, tilt it to the side and with a slight effort to get it.
With the installation of new plugs, there should be no problems at all - we tilt it ourselves so that the tip can stick more or less freely, press and insert a little. In most models, everything is exactly as described, but if you still don't understand something, you can additionally watch the process in the video below for different models.

Very often, customers come to us who were previously served in other services, with a new installed back cover, our managers immediately notify about the unoriginality of a spare part and in response they receive only surprise.

Here we will talk about the popular Sony Xperia Z5 line, which consists of three models:
- Sony Xperia Z5;
- Sony Xperia Z5 Premium;
- Sony Xperia Z5 Compact.
This information can be attributed to other models, but there will be many of its own nuances.
Original back cover Sony Xperia Z5, Z5 Premium, Z5 Compact
Original covers are made by order of the manufacturer, i.e. Sony itself. In fact, the original is 100% identical to the cover that was installed on the phone from the factory. Or rather, it will even be said that the original cover and the cover on the phone from the factory are one and the same. The cost of such a cover significantly exceeds the cost of a copy. The image below shows the original Sony Xperia Z5 Compact (left) and Chinese (right) covers.
Aftermarket cover Sony Xperia Z5, Z5 Premium, Z5 Compact
Non-original parts are produced by third-party organizations that are not licensed, to put it simply, these are Chinese crafts / copy / analog. Such parts are popular among services that do not have access to original parts or simply save, as they say, on everything, because the Chinese cover is much cheaper than the original one. An attentive client will immediately notice the difference, but an inattentive one will thank for the work and leave, noticing the catch, at best, after a few hours, at worst, until the repair is repeated.
The main question is - what is the difference between a copy? We will tell you about the main differences, based on which, you can confidently decide for yourself whether it is worth saving on an analogue or installing the original.
Material
If the original cover looks and feels glass with glass and it is difficult to confuse it with anything, then the copy looks more like plastic. Of course, the copy is also made of glass, but of less quality and not according to the manufacturer's technology, and damaging the copy is easier than ever, because it is not as strong as the original.
Camera window
And there, and there, the camera window is "cut" into the cover, i.e. is an integral part of it. Due to the quality of the material, the Chinese cover is scratched and overwritten more easily than the original, so when shooting, there may be problems with focusing the camera, and the pictures may turn out to be soapy / blurry.
Flash window
On the original covers, the flash window (next to the camera window) is equipped with a lens that properly diffuses light when shooting with a flash. On the copy, this window is just a transparent glass, which is why your photos will be blown out by fog with a white tint when shooting. You can, of course, install an additional gasket that will smooth out this effect, but after all, not everyone knows about this, as we do.
Colour
This is the easiest way to tell the difference between an original cover and a copy.
Original covers for Sony Xperia Z5 and Z5 Compact are equipped with matte covers, i.e. they do not glare in the light, and the copies of the covers for these models are glossy, moreover, their color is more poisonous.
The original covers of Sony Xperia Z5 Premium are made in a glossy version, and the cover from the silver version of the device is completely glossy and mirrored. The copy, on the other hand, has a less saturated color and does not convey gloss so much.
Now you know the main differences. Based on them and the attached images, videos, you can easily avoid being cheated. Our service center offers installation of both the original Sony Xperia cover and a copy - the choice is yours! If you have any questions, you can always ask our managers by phone or contact the office directly, where our specialists will demonstrate the differences to you by a physical example.

Removing the back cover of the smartphone
Avoid the appearance of chips, cracks and other mechanical damage on the phone you can. To do this, it is enough to carry it in a protective case.

The entire external component, except for the screen, belongs to the body of a mobile phone.
So, side frames, back cover and caps on the frame - all this makes up the body. The peculiarity of the replacement of elements is in the design provided by the manufacturer.
So, the design of the phone case is of two types:
- One piece- unibody (this concept was introduced to the technology market by Apple Corporation). Now manufacturers mobile phones not only aluminum is used as a material for a one-piece body (as was the case in the first models of Apple products), but also special polymers, as in new Sony Xperia Z5 Compact. The advantage of the non-separable case in the case of the Sony Xperia line is water resistance.
- Collapsible- available Sony Xperia SP. There, the user of the device can independently remove the back cover of the phone, under which there are slots for a SIM card, memory card and a battery.
