Sony Xperia E5 review: Nice ’n easy

05 July 2016
The Sony Xperia E5 is the company’s cheapest smartphone in the updated 2016 lineup, but you wouldn’t tell going by just how it looks. The clean and classy design in fact reminds us of Sony’s outgoing flagship, the Z5.

        So in general the Cheap ones (XA and E5) (except in performance and benchmarks) are better than the flagship ones?

                    Just get a Sony from last year, if you really want the brand that much. This year's line up is their worst yet. No inspiration at all in any of their models.

                          AFAIK, not many smartphone at this price tag has NFC on it. NFC is not well implemented though (at least in my country), but it's interesting to see it in the future. Spec is on the low side (vs competitor), but quite capable. Will waiting for gsmarena re-test battery life.

                            Another disappointing and mediocre phone from Sony. I had the c4 and that was a decent phone til the touch screen started going crazy all the time.

                              I like the design.

                                ...I think I'll stick to my Motorola Moto G3.

                                  Kudos on making just another meaningless phone! It was small and compact but after seeing those sample images, meh! Moto G v3 samples look better than those!

                                  Jeez Sony!
