        Victor, 08 Jan 2020I've come to conclude that Sony's greatest enemy is Sony it... moreThat's just Japanese product in general. They're extremely stubborn, xenophobic and ignorant.
        If they don't take a look around themselves and adapt then they'll be out-competed by China and have a huge recession by next decade.

          This phone will most likely use their sensors which are capable of 960 FPS as seen on all of the last 4 years of Sony flagships.
          However, record duration will be limited for a few seconds unless this phone actually uses a snapdragon 865.

                Most of the comments must be paid negative reviews or some people who want to feel important.

                why are people complaining about it being too tall, most phones its size are around 162 with notches. xperia phones are about 5mm (0.5cm) so you get to use more screen with about 5mm of top bezel.

                I have handled xperia 1, 5, and 10 plus. all of which handled beautifully especially the 5 it feels like a compact but without the compact size.

                around 8mm thickness is on bar with most phones on the market.

                sony panels are true to color and easy on the eye(only oled that doesn't burn my retina)

                I would say their camera software is the weakest link, I never cared for cameras on phones and i would never really care. Sony images always come out with true colors and less artificial feel to it.

                I get it, most people invest in the phone and it is all they have as far as electronics (new kids at work do't know how to use Microsoft suit ). They can't afford owning multiple platforms; however, a phones are crazy practical now days, and 21:9 is perfect for my use case. I can stack 2 apps and have space for my keyboard to popup.

If you have read/watched some reviews, they're saying that xperia 5 lasts longer than most of the competitors.

                          At a glance, this thing is very promising. But the lack of Super SlowMo turns me off, considering the price and flagship class.

                            Anonymous, 07 Jan 2020Years back, like 2011-2014 their batteries were pretty bad ... moreActually for those saying Sony priced too high, I think you're all wrong. Xperia 1 released at 899€, had xm3 headset free with it (350€ at the time), and Xperia 5 released at 799€ with xm3 earbuds (250€) which draws the price to 650€.

                            Its a fair price for these phones I guess. Yes photos are a bit better ob other brands auto mode but once you know how to take a picture you can make awesome shots with really any "not too bad" smartphone.

                            I really like the 21:9 form factor because I want a big screen but I also hate that they are too large. With these we can get best of both world.

                            Xperia 5 battery is also great, at 3100mah it even beats MiNote10pro who has like 5200 I think. Great performance and optimization from sony.

                            Also for the pictures. When Sony had modes people were talking trash about sonys auto mode. Now that sonys auto mode is good they talk trash about not having night mode.

                            Check the tests Xperia 5 takes good shots in low light. Better than any other phone without auto mode. They'll surely improve it again in next phone. I don't really see what more we could need. Face recognition is gimmick to me, fingerprint scanner on the side is the perfect place, I hope there'll be a 6.1 like the actual Xperia 5 because Yea 168mm is a bit too tall for me but in width, around 70mm is the max that I want.

                              Thankfully, this has WiFi 6 ! OR NOT :-( .

                                No one can like Sony but love sony but I can't buy my loving smartphone because pricing very high.
                                No problem insha Allah one day I will buy my love..

                                      I've come to conclude that Sony's greatest enemy is Sony itself: 1. Pricing their phones too high 2. Selective marketing only in certain markets. Otherwise tie phones are great. I'm in Africa and it's becoming increasingly clear that Sony does not consider its phones as made for Africa. So iPhones, galaxies and mates rule the prime segment that runs into tens of millions of devices. Transsion holdings is happy to secretly dominate the African mid-range market that's much much bigger.

                                        Finally sony puts out a decent device, hopefully it comes with a decent price. Sony if you come out wanting more than $700 it will likely stay in the shelves. It's a crowded market.
