Wish this phone is shorter. Too long for its width! Otherwise, great phone. Used to be big sony fan 10 years ago. Havnt seen a good design since! Ill buy if the size is similar to lg v30 or note 10. Ideal size to fit in pocket.

nick sloter, 05 Sep 2019oh come on.. :D just look at the youtube videos, online r... moreDXO MARK is nonsense. The whole score is a weighted average of many parameters. For example, if phone has no (or limited) optical zoom, it will get a low score simply because of limited zoom. Does it mean that camera is bad? No. Also, comparison is based on Auto settings which are not ideal. In most cases, you can get better results by using manual mode (assuming you know what you are doing). Most importantly, look at the color accuracy - are colors the same in real life and in the pictures? Most smartphones can't reproduce real life colors, and have fake (distorted) colors, which are artificial and oversaturated. The true art of photography is to reproduce objects as they appear in real life rather than fake them.

The Xperia 5 is truly Sony Mobile's return back to form. For me it's got the perfect size - just big enough to be manageable with one hand and with enough screen real estate for browsing and media. I was sceptical about the elongated form factor, but now I can't see myself going back to 16:9. The feel and design of the phone are also quite premium.
The screen is superb - excellent colour reproduction, contrast and detail. The battery life is a huge improvement over my last phone - lasts easily more than a day, even a day and a half. The camera also takes great photos.
The fingerprint sensor works pretty well for me and the back function of "side sense" is a great and clever feature for browsing one-handed.
Overall, the Xperia 5 has exceeded my expectations. I'd definitely recommend it.

Vlad, 08 Nov 2019I need to know about a few things before I make a purchase:... moreYou do realise "stereo width" on a phone is entirely down to the recording being played? The days of cross channel interference in vinyl records are long gone, and you can't exactly move the speakers around.
"Audiophiles" claim to hear things that simply are not there.

S . SUDHAKAR, 08 Nov 2019Xperia 5 is a waste model because : > No dedicated me... moreAnother lousy criticism with lame remarks coming from someone who never experienced this phone before. Bigger batteries make phones heavy and not necessarily last longer. This 3100mAh battery will outlasts 4000mAh batteries of other brands. In my daily life, Xperia 5 give 10 hours SOT (2 full days). Not as good as XZ1 compact though, XZ1c was 14 hours SOT (3 full days).

I need to know about a few things before I make a purchase:
Ram management,
Dynamic range on the cameras,
Viewing angles,
Battery charging time,
Stereo width on the audio output,
Customizability of the interface.
Thanks in advance.

Technologist, 07 Nov 2019I don't mind if the phone is wider than 7 cm because most t... moreFoldable phones with multiple screens are very clumsy and impractical. Moreover, they have a ridiculous price tag north of 1000 USD. You might as well just buy a tablet for 300 USD if you are fine holding >7cm width tablet-phone in one hand. Again, as someone who actually has this phone, 21:9 is perfect for multitasking.

And wide phone make the screen looks much better than a narrow screen!

Narrow width makes this phone easy to hold and tall display provides more content. Other phones (16:9 or 18:9) with similar sized display have more than 7cm width, making them effectively tablets and difficult to hold in single hand.
