Sony Xperia 5 V review

Battery endurance rating of 130 hours? That is dead impressive! Not even last year's 5 Mk4 came close to it. What impressed me even more is that the score is only one to two hours behind both ASUS ROG Phone 7/7 Ultimate and ZTE nubia Red Magic 8 Pro/8S Pro, which have a bigger 6000mAh battery. I know Sony always cares about long-term battery life, and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC proved to be an efficient beast, but this is in a completely different league!
This left me with a dilemma as I already looked at the Xperia 1 Mk5 as my next new phone. But I can't ignore this phone's absurdly crazy battery performance.

As I said ....
16 + 24mm cams ✅
12MP at 48mm like iphone ✅
Same price as previous gen ✅
At least 130h battery test ✅
I am always right ...
By the way, moto g54 may be announced today or in the next days.
6000mAh + dimensity 7020.

The Pixel 7a easily destroys this useless junk.

But you can go in its review and see the photos - that is the reason we always shoot (if possible) under similar lighting conditions and the same scenes - so you can cross review compare photos.

Sony needs to get out of the phone market. I don't know a single person who owns one of their phones. I'm sure the price is the main reason, but the software updates, large bezels and unusual aspect ratio have something to do with it too.
Why would the average person choose this over the upcoming Pixel 8 or the Galaxy S23?

MRSTEK, 01 Sep 2023You mean someone's gonna pay 300 bucks of premium just... moreOther brands will charge you much more than 300 Dollars when you max out your memory:
Here an example of the Apple iPhone 14 pro max : 1099 USD for the 128 GB base model, and 1599 USD for the 1TB model.
On the other hand: a Sandisk pro micro SD Card with 1 TB costs 102 USD (on amazon.com)
So, compare now: +500 Dollars more to have 1 TB
or: + 100 Dollars more to have 1 TB + 128 GB
If we are talking about price/GB-ratio, than the micro SD card wins hands down. It's not even a contest.

I have been using Xperia 5 III for 2 years and now its time for me to get another job phone but I think I will wait for pixel 8. I don't have a good experiences from using 5 III (overheating and al lot of bugs). Its weird that they got rid off zoom camera, I found myself using it quite often.
What do you think about waiting for pixel 8?

kesztio, 01 Sep 2023And what about the damaged display of the S23? (If you look... moreYou sounds like assuming that Xperias are free from QC issues.
And if you need a serious answer, I got S23 from day one and haven't noticed any screen issue. Just checked some local tech fourms and no relevant information were found.
Could you elaborate it more precisely? What kind of damage? I'm just curious.
