Two wide lenses and no more tele? That's a shot in the leg.

      Anonymous, 24 Jul 2023Troll from Xperia blog is here? LOL Gonna bring Azzido to... moreSony, even with HDR, will not argue with Pixel and Samsung. I had an Xperia 5 Mark 3 and what the Sony HDR did with people's faces horrified me. In terms of detail quality, the Mark 3 was no better than the old Pixel 4. And there was no night mode. So, I sold this fake from Sony and continue to shoot on Pixel 4 again. If I buy a camera phone for myself, it will be either Oppo or Xiaomi, but I will not return to greedy Sony. By the way, the telephoto of the Mark 3 and even on new Mark 5 are disgusting and worse than any digital zoom on any other smartphone

          My thinking is that probably they will use the 50mpx module from the 1V and use the crop to 12mox photos for zoom, like the Lumia 1020 did in the past for lossless zoomed photos.
          I doubt they'll drop the price of it compared to the 5 IV, but given that the hardware has been simplified, it would be a way to attract more people to the brand.

                Anonymous, 24 Jul 2023Despite downgrades,sony fanboys will still praiseSony could sell a literal brick for 500 dollars and Sony fanboys would still praise it.

                I own Xperia 5 II myself, I really don't use telephoto too often, to be honest I would exchange both telephoto and ultrawide for actually usable automatic camera app. I understand Sony targets people who want to play around with camera settings, but it would be nice to not have to spend 10 minutes each time you want to take a decent picture.

                  pule81, 24 Jul 2023So, it's gonna cost less than the IV, right?Sony is not known for being generous (they charge more for 10V even the SOC remain SD695 unchanged from 10IV, which have upgraded to dual speaker, ram from 6GB to 8GB, and better camera), if someone believe removing the camera means a price cut (not to mention 5V feature a more pricey SOC, and possibly some other upgrades as well), I guess that is nothing but wishful thinking.

                            77, 24 Jul 2023I love the 16.9 ratio, hate this 19.9 too 22.90 There are lots of phones with narrower aspect ratios who like those. There are almost no new phones smaller than 70mm wide, and none smaller than 68mm wide.

I don't care whether a phone is tall or thick (within reason), the width is the measurement that determines whether or not I can use it one-handed, since I can slide it up and down in my hand, but my thumb can only reach so far horizontally.

                                    Based on this, the 5 V will only really have the SD card slot and potentially better battery life than the Zenfone (given that the 1 V got 115h on GSMareana and typically the 5 model gets a decent improvement over the 1 due to less power hungry screen).
