    Cameras are wide and super wide.
    Like iphone 15 e zenfone 10.

      Well it looks good but all depends on price if they add more than 800 is DOA.

        Maybe Sony improved the computational photography of the 5 v and could be aiming for a wider market so they had to drop the price with it the telephoto (just a guess i hope it's the case though)

          Anonymous, 25 Aug 2023im glad that you are gladThx I also don't have overheating issues after the last 2 patches... so i think that seems fixed.

            Anonymous, 25 Aug 2023Should cancel it. 1v has some upgrades over 1 iv, still... moreNot forgetting the Mk3 models. Even the Mk3 Xperia 5 get the same 3x/4.4x zoom periscope telephoto camera as its Xperia 1 brother. Shame that the Mk4 Xperia 5 is not getting the same treat.

              It is no longer between Xperia 1 and 10, it is below each for losing telephoto. As a user of 5 III I rarely even open ultrawide, as few more degrees than wide have a much worse sensor.

              I don't think that the pictured target audience will bother with having a 3.5 jack with no quality DAC in it.

                  Probably gonna see something similar to iPhones and Pixels 2x super crop. I hope they have something like a 24mm-60mm main. And not a digital crop version of it.

                    Anonymous, 25 Aug 2023Pretty sure it will NOT have 16gb of RAM 1 V has 12GBXperia 5 never has more than 8GB RAM to this day, which I find it a bit puzzling since Sony stopped selling the Xperia 1 with 8GB RAM since the 2021 Mk3 generation. You might argue Samsung is also doing the same thing with the Galaxy S23, but ASUS can give 16/512 for the Zenfone 10 at the same price of Samsung Galaxy S23 8/128. If the early benchmark rumours really shows 16GB RAM on board, then the new Xperia 5 Mk5 is a worthy rival to the ASUS. But we have to wait and see about it, really.

                      Early rumours suggesting that Sony might drop the telephoto sensor for this year's Xperia 5 Mk5 to get the price down. Nevertheless, I'll wait for the official announcement.

                            Honestly, most telephoto sensors are crap, and Sony's were only "average"

                                I am glad i already purchased 2x Sony Xperia 5 IV which has every feature you could possible want on a phone. Now that they ditched the telephoto cam i am feeling lucky.

                                    Sony simply does not want to waste time/money on it.

                                    £949/€1049 = 8GB ddr5x/128GB ufs3.1

                                        It's a shame that sony dropped the 3rd camera, probably the telephoto. Even the cheapest 10V have the all 3 cameras :( I'm gonna wait for the price cuts for the Xperia 1V
