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.

                    One serious issue with this phone is shutdown during calls. It will switch only after connnecting to a power source.got my phone replaced from sony center. But the issue prevails. Sony is service center not helping me with the issue.also no.updates are released. So.planning to return the phone back to the seller.

                    The phone is otherwise very good but has a major issue with the basic calling function.

                          AnonD-292864, 03 Oct 2015Stop trolling. Sony's after sales services has nothing to d... moreSony's ass is a joke. They wont trouble shoot. All they do is replace parts. ANy problems in mobo, they will just replace the mobo. Not repairs at all. Once out of warranty, this type of service will be very expensive.

                          These type of service stations are not even needed. The user himself can replace the parts if available. Ass is needed for repairs.

                            Kitkit, 05 Oct 2015Front camera is not good. So so bad for me. How can I say?... moreyes, you are right! its smoothing out the final output! 13 mp or 2 mp doesnt make a difference with this algorithm. There is no option to disable it
