I am an ardent Sony fan more than two decade. I am happy with other Sony electronic products even my white colour cordless phone, My Bravia etc. But as far as the cell phone is concerned, they are utter failure in the market, product and the after sales service I had been getting in Cochin.
Now this phone is also not going to get the market, phone display size, battery capacity, etc. are on very wrong side. They have to some thing extra ordinary regain their already pathetically lost cell phone handset market.

Not sure why my comment got cut off.
The lack of Android phones with screen size smaller than 5.5" is ridiculous.

An, 21 Mar 2020What does the thickness have to do with the screen size? Ye... moreLOL it was a typo - I was saying 70mm or 7cm. And I was talking about the width of the device, not thickness.
3 people in my family already jumped ship to iPhone because of the size of Android phones, despite preferring Android. The lack of

Yes, bring back smaller phones, but seriously, I don't mind smaller phones being thicker as that enables for a futureproof battery. Look at the first Generation of the Motorola Moto G for example, or the Xperia XZ2 Compact.

Is anything less than 7mm of width called "compact" now???? You have got to be kidding me. And no, it is nowhere pocketable. Give me back my 4.5" phone, then we can talk.

I don't see how a device 158mm tall is consideren anything close to compact. There was no new compact device, just hueg phablets... Guess I'll wait for the Pixel 4a and if it ain't a compact I'll have to settle for S10e

18-19,5/9 aspect ratio is totally fine and would bring the size of this phone down significantly, by leaving all the other dimensions the same. Although I wouldn't mind the phone being thicker (even if it were 10mm) to accomodate for the loss in battery size.
Something like ~140mm x 68mm x 10mm (L x W x T) would be perfect and I'd be sold.

Steve H, 04 Feb 2020Sony needs to learn how to make bezel less phones, as they ... moreNo they do not. The bezels on these phones are absolutely fine and make it easier to handle. Sony's designs are superior to the stupid notches and holes of the competition.
All Sony need to do is to bring back the 3.5mm jack.

Anonymous, 16 Jan 2020Wireless Bluetooth buds can sound great. Just try Anker Sou... moreThere are literally no high quality audio formats for Bluetooth audio right now due to power consumption limits, the need for radio interference tolerance, and latency constraints. You can find a few BT headphones with good tonal quality but they will occasionally suffer from noticeable bandwidth deficits.

Sony needs to learn how to make bezel less phones, as they are lacking...
Also battery life is very poor, need to make good battery life for android phone.
Camera resolution is not great compared to Huwawei and Samsung.

Ive been using my Xperia 5 for 3 months and I have to say I am very happy with it. I have the white one, which looks amazing. The software is running smooth, never a freeze down. The camera..hmm . I never understood this 30-40mp and once I am seeing the photos on my laptop they looks awful. This camera is amazing. Even if it is only 8mp the quality is perfect. I dropped the phone once from about 1.5 meter and not a crack or scratch. When I dropped my iphone x from about 80cm the phone looked like a broken glass. So my overall opinion is xperia5 is a top class phone which is really underrated.

It's high time to replace the product designer Sony, still living in the past. 6.1" display with 8 MP FF Camera..WTF??

Just got this phone. It looks very nice, unique, feels good in the hand. Also I have Galaxy Note10+ and Google Pixel 4. Only one must stay. Regarding the camera, Pixel 4 makes better shots to my opinion. Xperia 5 is somewhere in between two others. Still deciding what to keep because all these phones aren't perfect.
