        Look at the number of comment. Sony product is almost (not all model) attract to many readers but Sony mostly fail to sell well. Maybe the very high price, bad after sale, and not powwerful camera algoritm kill it.

        Xperia 5 is good for who wan't more compact flagship. Woman is also suitable for compact device.

          Every article about Sony is full with hating and useless comments. Just calm down. Sony won't die. If you don't like Sony phones this page isn't for you.

                      Kangal, 05 Sep 2019Let's face it, it's slightly thinner by 1mm or less. And i... moreAt that time large screen size was 5.2 and 5.6, and now the large screen size is 6.5. So in comparison to today's screen its compact.

                        Nothing exciting.. just what's the point?
                        And this is a compact with 158mm height??
                        Give me a break Sony. Make it 5 inches!! Make it 5 and then call it compact.

                        Just no.., pass. With the situation for Sony mobile not being good, they release new phones, with nothing new..

                            6.1 inch compact meh.
                            Funny.
                            Having an FHD+ on a 6 inch screen is complete pointless.
                            Anything beyound 720p is waste of money on a final price of a phone because even the human with best eye sight in the world wont spot any differences on a such small screen.

                              Most people complaining about the phone not being compact, needs to try the phone in real life, i think this is actually compact since is a 21:9 6.1' screen while 16:9 equivalent would be about 5.7 or less.

                                  6.1"? Compact? Hahahahahahaha that wasn't really funny. That's just sad. You wanna talk compact? Talk less than 65mm wide and less than 140mm tall. Anything above that is a no deal.

                                    Let's face it, it's slightly thinner by 1mm or less.
                                    And its an annoying 3-4mm's wider.
                                    ....but its stupidly longer by around 31mm's !!

                                    Have a look:
