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.

It is just another company that Sony made an agreement. Stop blaming Sony and blame the company who gives Sony's after sale services in your country. In my country they even fix water damage under warranty.

          AnonD-444433, 25 Sep 2015Is it already available in cebu? How much was the m5?Dual sim phones can only use internet of only one sim so far. Do you call call drop problem? I had this issue in Z3 dual and when I call from the Sim that is not on internet (2G) the call drops after 4 minutes :(

            This is what I hate about Sony,they make the Mid-range Smartphone very good, making the Z itself look cheap

            Tried the Z4, and everyone thought if it was an M4/M5 since those M are indeed more Stylish than the Z itself

                    Suffering like anything buying c4. Frequently hanging. Causing. Trouble in browser poor battery performance. Octa core is performing like single core.
