One management tool for all smartphones to transfer files between PC & iOS/Android devices.
Sony's flagship Xperia Z5 is stuffed with a lot of the top tech we expect from a high-end phone. It's got a full HD display, tons of power and a meaty 23-megapixel camera what's claimed as the world's fastest autofocus (0.03s). At the front we have a 5.2-inch 1080p display; under the hood, we find a Snapdragon 810 chipset, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, microSD card slot, and 2,900mAh battery.
Frankly speaking, you should not save photos, videos and other personal content solely on the internal memory of your Sony mobile device. If something goes wrong with your Xperia Z5 hardware, or if your device is lost or stolen, the data stored on its internal memory is gone forever. Given this situation, a surefire to avoid data loss on your Android phone is to backup or sync content to computer or Mac.
Sony PC Companion is a collection of tools and applications helping Sony users manage, transfer, backup and restore phone data at ease. Alternatively, Syncios has created mobile utility tools Syncios Data Trnasfer - that allows both Android and iOS users to easily backup, restore, and transfer all the important data and files in the phone storage, which supports backing up Sony Xperia Z5 to Windows PC and Mac OS X on one click.
