Sony Xperia 5 V promo video leaks

24 July 2023
Sony will bring an overhauled design with the Xperia 5 V.

Sort by:

To me this was means I'll probably get the ZenFone 10 as a replacement for my 5 II instead of the 5V. I had to go to lineageOS to get my phone working again on the 5II, but I loved the camera too much. If the telephone is gone on the 5 V I'll rather take Asus than Sony sadly..

    Blatant cost cutting, they already did it with the 10V making it all plastic and now they are removing one camera from the 5V. Who is going to buy a $800 phone in 2023 without at least a triple cam setup?!

      Sony...I guess after 12 years with them I am done! That's it. No telephoto? Why? are we going to have a cut in the price? No we won't. We'll pay 899 for this phone.
      No thanks, I am done!

            If we get just 2 sensors then we need a 20mm equivalent F1.7 or faster and a 75 or 85mm equivalent to bridge the gap left behind when a 3rd sensor is removed...

                    Sony's 5-series was a smaller version of the one with three cameras. But, apparently, the samurai completely lost their honor and decided that for you, blind fans, you can remove one of the cameras. After all, all the same, you will pay an unreasonably high price for Sony logo, and will be teach others that your Sony it`s the "8th Wonder of the World", and your stupid Iphones and Samsung - it`s crap)

With a real professional camera, you can rapidly select which parameters are automatic and which are manual. You can rapidly bias the automatic tuning. The Sony Xperia apps are a clumsy mess of weird controls in weird places. The Xperia line didn't even get automatic video exposure until the Mark IV series! You literally can't pan between sun and shade while recording a video with the Xperia 1 III.

                      Good lenses for my α7R III are enormous and heavy but I still bring it with me if I want to take good photos. I only use my Xperia cameras for documentation (diagrams, assembly/disassembly, etc.).

                      I'm waiting to see how the US release of the Zenfone 10 turns out. The Xperia phones have better specifications on paper but my 1 III has been a disaster in usability and carrier compatibility. Switching to LineageOS fixed some bugs but all of Sony's kernel and modem problems remain.

                        I was one of the last sony fans, and was eagerly waiting 5 V, one of the few decent sized phones with full camera experience (I need telephoto camera, at least 3x) and still not copycatting others (still going on with no screen aberrations... I can't stand notch, punch holes etc).

                        so sad to see they are going the way of most other oems, with just two cams on the back and no telephoto anymore :(

                        epic fail for me, I think they now deserve to fail :(((


                        Will have to stay with s23, I have always hated samsung but now they are really the only ones still providing compact, small and full featured phones... and with s23 they even fixed the soc problem in europe at last... hope exynos won't make a comeback or will have to say bye bye to samsung too lol

                        let's see if next year zenfone will keep the small factor and add telephoto cam.... my only last hope :fingers-crossed:

                            Alex Norris, 24 Jul 2023Sony, even with HDR, will not argue with Pixel and Samsung.... moreI bet you have never bothered to force HDR on photo pro , something that does not take 5s and allows ISO and shutter to remain auto by choosing P mode.
                            As many other, you know basic mode does not have auto HDR as default like other phones and phone rarely uses it.
                            Then complain it does exactly what camera would do.

                            I highly doubt you know downsides of frame stacking feature. My favorite is white contour around subject. Cant even count how many photos from iphones with this I have seen so far.

                            Let's keep it out little secret. Dont tell ppl. 🤫

                              Only in USA it will be less than $850.

                              Mi 13T Pro does not have.
                              Price will be €850.

                                Xperia will not be $650-750 range.
                                Removing 3rd camera does not make it $100, $200 or $300 cheaper.

                                Unless more cuts are performed, zero chance it is below $900/€900.

                                    Wtf Sony? Even Xperia 10 V has 3 cameras, including telephoto. Definitely won't upgrade to that.

                                        Kinda sucks that they removed the telephoto. If I only had 2 lenses, telephoto is way more useful than wide angle.

                                        If i want wide angle with no wide angle lens, I can use panorama mode and make it as wide as I want, using the big main sensor.

                                        If i want telephoto with no telephoto lens... what do I do? Crop? The quality sucks.
