Sony Xperia C5 Ultra review: Crowd selfie

25 September, 2015
It takes 6 inches or more to warrant the Ultra moniker and Sony only makes one of these a year. Fair enough, not everyone can handle a phablet. But if you have a use for all that FullHD screen real estate, the Sony Xperia C5 Ultra tops it up with an LED-flash-assisted selfie camera, expandable memory and LTE...

I don't get the criticism towards the HDR mode, i think the first one looka really great! I mean i don't think it just bumps exposure up; you can perfectly see things in the brighter parts of the picture, and the darker parts of the original pic have way more detail in the HDR one. I just completely disagree.

And guys PLEASE edit your reviews before you upload them... It's mostly well written, but there are annoying little details in nearly every paragraph. I'd be happy to donit for you if you need a helping hand.

                Had mine for a week now, really enjoying it. Love browsing and watching media on that big screen, saves me from having to turn my PC on.

                    Big disappointment. Pretty mediocre battery performance, 6 hrs of web browsing is a joke. Also the front looks ugly with the big camera and the back looks diminished with the small camera. Overall pretty average for a 6 incher.

                        I like when the reviewer says "C'mon Sony..."
                        Feels like you see a giant company like Sony just doing same-ridiculous unforgivable stupid-mistake in panorama mode.
                        Sony's engineer must be drunk all night before implementing the camera software.

                            Good and well-balanced review and a truly shining Phone that one can use for years.

                                Another piece of junk from Sony's camp. Sony just can't bother to improve the camera on its phones, while the competitive OEMs are producing amazing results from the same sensors. How the mighty have fallen!
