Yess, it's possible, because you have a tray with space for a traditional nano SIM and another one for the SD card. You can also use one or more e-Sims ! Once you have installed them, you can activate one of those e-Sims in a few seconds🙂

I want this phone. To be honest, my Samsung galaxy S22 ultra is to heavy and too big. And I don't like the Exynos 2200 chip, it's bullshit.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 I'm sure is way better basec on the ranking list. And sony is almost better than most phone brands, at least. It's a bit expensive though but not far to expensive...

QUESTION; is the actual screen that you look at smaller because of the bigger bezel or is the phone wider to accommodate the bezel? I am guessing some manufacturers count the bezel as part of the screen.

I was bit disappointed on 5 V as i was expecting shrunken 1 V and for 1000€ and the fact i tend to use the same phone over 3 years or longer if it's updated longer, but 5 V falls bit short to get my money.
So it's down to one upcoming phone for this year to gain my wallets trust.

Most smartphones has "PRO" in name and thats only marketing trick. Even iPhone 14 Pro has apps that are Basic, not PRO. Apps for typical users, womens for selfie, kids etc.

"The Xperia 5 V is not a perfect phone, though. It is prone to throttling under peak loads, the overcomplicated camera apps and scattered features are a potential issue.."
So basically, the same old problems. Considering the price and other phones at a similar price range, it is unforgivable.
And don't forget: only two years of software updates.

x2 zoom feels very limited, compared to what previous Xperia 5's offered.

Usually everything apart from the device itself lands in a drawer never to be touched again. I fully support to deliver the devices without accessories aka electronic waste.

I didn't see anywhere in this review, but I saw that in other reviews that the LED notification has been removed from this model device just like the 1 Mark V. One of my favorite features, ugh.

I've never understood Sony's strategy when it comes to their mobile phones. All that money for just a phone with no accessories, not even a charging cable?! This is why their market share is so low.

now you also have macro mode.
Because going 48mm does not increase minimum focus distance.

It's a shame about the dynamic range in video (particularly at night or in the selfie mode). Otherwise it would be perfect as a phone that satisfies both casual and pro users. The icing on the cake would be a macro lens.
