That brightness man, come on sony 1k$ for that and cameras look mediocre at best.

    Branimir, 01 Sep 2023I am totally disappointed with this phone. They ditched the... moreRegardless, the 2Times crop of the sensor is 1/2.7 in size used as a Telephoto.


    The Xperia 5 IV sensor telephoto is only 1/3.5 in size.

    Meaning the telephoto camera (crop sensor) of the Xperia 5V is larger, than the one of the Xperia 5 IV. So adding the Telephoto camera to the 5 V would be pointless, as it means in decrease in Quality, compared to just taking a crop from a huge main Sensor.

      Disappointing Heat dissipation on the latest Sony Xperia 5G. Problems that always appear on SONY XPERIA cellphones, even on the Sony Xperia 1V Flagship itself experience the same thing. Disappointing

        Is Sony actually trying to troll people or why are they releasing a higher end midrange for 1k€? This department will be so dead

          The biggest con of this phone is it will be outdated in a few months with the 8G3 right around the corner

            how good is this? got a review just a second after the phone was launched.

              I am totally disappointed with this phone. They ditched the telephoto camera but kept the same price. 2x crop from a camera with Quad Bayer filter is acceptable for a $600 phone but for $1000 is inexcusable. I hoped they would put a traditional Bayer filter on it so we can enjoy full resolution of the sensor, and the crop would than be good. But no, they are too stupid to do that.
              I have an Xperia 5 IV and the camera is fun to use, but the picture quality is far from other flagships. In challenging light conditions scenes my old and cheap Pixel 3a is better.
              If Sony wants to continue using this "in camera" instead of "computational photography" approach, they have to use the best possible camera hardware instead of using 2x crop from a Quad Bayer camera

                Two cameras, Tiny 6.1”, €1000, dead on arrival. Only Apple can pull off stunts like that!

                  Nice phone but still think smartphones like that shouldn't cost more than €600. Smartphone prices are ridiculious nowadays.
