Sony Xperia M5 review: Changing swim lanes

16 September, 2015
Sony’s tight flagship release schedule went in overdrive this season with the Z3+, Z4v and the Z5 all right on each other’s heels. Making no attempt to slow down, the Japanese are taking that spirit to the midrange as well. What are you waiting for? Upgrade.

      Well, I had the #autoshutdown and #overheat problem with some SIM carriers. All I had to do was downgrade to lollipop 5.0 and everything works fine. It's a great phone

                5months using m5 dual.
                Cons :
                1) overhate (cant playing game because feel Dam hot you know?)
                2) camera are often not function (needs to restard)
                3) no gyro so I cant take panorama 360 degree
                4) the camera too slow to taking picture compare to iPhone.
                5) charging Dam slow
                6) sometimes auto shutdown :(
                Pros :
                1) the camera capture very nice picture
                2) selfie camera Dam good
                3) the UI is great
                4) stamina mood pretty good
