Sony Xperia C5 Ultra review: Crowd selfie

25 September, 2015
It takes 6 inches or more to warrant the Ultra moniker and Sony only makes one of these a year. Fair enough, not everyone can handle a phablet. But if you have a use for all that FullHD screen real estate, the Sony Xperia C5 Ultra tops it up with an LED-flash-assisted selfie camera, expandable memory and LTE...

      The supplied charger is useless and very slow in charging the phone. I use my Samsung Tab S charger and the phone was fully charged within 2 hours.

                AnonD-205566, 26 Sep 2015I don't get the criticism towards the HDR mode, i think the... moreHDR on this phone is really terrible. The software just increase the exposure. The end result is pretty horrible if you ask me. There is no dynamics to the HDR function.

                  Oh and one more thing. I suspect the dual SIM version got the interior screen as the white balance is totally off. The screen is whitish with no deep blacks. You will need to tweak the white balance yourself to get some improvement to the whitish screen problem.

                    Bought it three days ago. Battery life absolute suck a&$. Cameras are good though. If you like to take pictures of food and selfies this is the phone for you. Just make sure you have a powerbank with you all the time.

                      I dont understand why sony have produced a lot of xperia phones with big megapixel counts, with exmor rs sensor, 1/2.3 sensor size but still fails to deliver quality photos. Been tried diffent xperia devices including z1c,z3,c4 but they produced mediocre photos, why cant they make a camera phone that produces astonishing quality photos just like their digital camera,sld,dslr.

                          i like sony phones because of user interface as well as the clarity of music through headphones...dont use clear audio plus technology use always manual settings on equilizer...also use studio vpt for best bass...i prefer equilizer settings as left to right -2,+2,+6,-2,+5......clear bass +10...

                                Ive gone from the z3 to this and absolutely love it! The screen and the cameras are better than the z3 for stills. Shame about the battery and lack of quick charge though.

                                  just to clearify , the mint green color is mat type so its not the glossy one the black/white has!

                                    My C5 looks great, but the camera app takes too long to load. I hope Sony will fix this via some software updates.

                                      The reason sold my t2 ultra was the bad camera . When C5 ultra came out , i tot of getting it as i liked the 6" screen. As it turned out it dissapoints again with the same old camera . Got a note 5 instead.

                                        Bad camera and bad battery, thats enough for me to not want this phone. The huge front camera ruined the looks of it, and the back looks cheap.
