    Anonymous, 04 Sep 2023Still running the 2019 Sony Xperia 5 Perfect for most case... morewhy would you even buy japanese variants? your fault for buying a locked down phone from japan instead of global.

      I Just Read, 04 Sep 2023In answer to your question UFS 3.0 which is up there with ... moreCan I not form my own personal opinion about something without you coming after me? People aren't mass produced, not everyone has the same opinion about anything and everything.

      This phone costs 1000 eur, for that price it should have everything, and I mean absolutely everything. The Xperia 5 IV was just like that and that cost significantly less than this, sensor zoom, or not, they removed one camera and made the phone a lot more expensive, I simply don't like that. Does that mean the phone is bad? Absolutely not, but in my opinion it's overpriced.

      Not to mention that 90% of any given comment you make is just gibberish.

        PhoneFreak45, 04 Sep 2023Not sure if you bothered to do the calculations yourself, b... moreSure, but it's quad Bayer, which has half the colour information of a Bayer sensor of same resolution

          PhoneFreak45, 04 Sep 2023UFS 4.0 only comes in 256GB and higher packages. This phone... more"..that makes it exactly the same as what Samsung did with their S23, but somehow that's fine lol."

          I mean, no it's not. Pretty sure you've seen my comments somewhere before, I don't exactly love Samsung to say the least. lol

            DarlingYext, 04 Sep 2023That just made this phone another 100 times worse. Sad.UFS 4.0 only comes in 256GB and higher packages. This phone is available in a 128GB and 256GB configuration. If the 256GB variant is UFS 4.0, that makes it exactly the same as what Samsung did with their S23, but somehow that's fine lol.

              trtr098, 04 Sep 2023Refresh rate? You mean constant battery waste at 120Hz and ... moreThat is, indeed, still refresh rate. Considering this phone's endurance rating I don't think that's much of a problem.

                  Still running the 2019 Sony Xperia 5
                  Perfect for most cases except I cant install custom ROMs(docomo)
                  Xperia prices drop very quickly compared to other phones but are too expensive at launch
                  They need to reduce the price a bit

                    NeonHD, 03 Sep 2023Sony is like someone who always asks people for big favors ... morelol say that to Apple iphones....heck, some of them still stuck at their 60hz screens

                      danielfgom, 03 Sep 2023This is brilliant. I'm very happy to see Sony take on ... moreAgreed.
                      It surpasses others in batterylife by a mile. Plus the excellent bokeh and cameras both back and front, free advanced editing app, excellent speakers, sd card and headphone jack.
                      This is Sonys mainstream flag offering...
                      Pricy, but quite tempting.

                        aHoe, 04 Sep 2023Can anyone confirm the storage on this phone is 3.1 or 4.0 ... moreIn answer to your question UFS 3.0 which is up there with the S22 Ultra (S23 UFS 4 is double the speed, UFS 3 is a tad slower than Apples NVMe.
                        You are not getting flagship, but UFS kicks however others try to diminish it.

                        Cut and paste from Gsmarena review camera 5 V
                        "Dual-camera on the back, 2x zoom is now in-sensor
                        The biggest change this year is the retirement of the telephoto camera. The Xperia 5 V has a dual camera on the back with a 48MP main and a 12MP ultrawide cameras. The selfie camera is Sony's latest 12MP imager.

                        'Here comes the elephant in the room. There is a dedicated 2x zoom shortcut on the viewfinder, as promised, and the phone snaps easily 12MP zoomed photos.

                        "We must admit we did expect a turn for the worst, and we are very happy to report that did not happen. The 2x zoomed photos are identical in quality to 2.5x zoomed ones from the Xperia 5 IV's telephoto camera"

                        They do offer a lot of resolved detail and likable sharpness; the natural processing is here to stay, and we did not observe artifacts from the in-sensor zoom (read crop from the 48MP center). While the per-pixel detail cannot be on par with the standard 1x output, it is the same as what Sony has offered from its previous telephoto camera."

                        Here are 2 comments trending on Twitter re this phone.

                        'That just made this phone another 100 times worse. Sad." (On UFS)

                        "What did Sony think, when they decided to drop the telephoto camera from the Xperia 5 IV?
                        "That's the very thing that made this phone a bad buy, just get last years model for less.." (on camera)

                        Will Gsmarena stick with the review? or..

                        This is what it feel like
                        You run a shop that sells valuable china
                        You are called to the shop due to Police responding to the burglar alarm going off.
                        You arrive to find an untethered Bull in the shop
                        The Bull is suffering from acute food poisoning
                        That is the equivalent of what is happening here time and time again.

                        Three years three reviews are wrong because she has access to an input device "please read me make me relevant"

                        Below is how I ended my previous post. I now wonder like temperature is there absolute Zero?

                        On other matters it appears I have pick up a NEGATIVE IQ TROLL.
                        If it could formulate an idea and put it into a sentence it would, however we are subjected to inane multiple SmS. You know making everything about yourself, and not about phones.

                        Another observer description was Deliberately Obtuse I think that was a compliment of sorts

                          Kaloyan, 04 Sep 2023I can confirm it is not UFS 4.That just made this phone another 100 times worse. Sad.

                              What did Sony think, when they decided to drop the telephoto camera from the Xperia 5 IV?

                                Anonymous, 02 Sep 2023Nope. not for me. Sony Xperia III is enough for me still fo... moreSome additions to this comment.
                                Only good upgrade from 5 III is GPS (L1+L5) if it's really there.
                                My 5 III get very hot when playing a game and sometimes even when taking photos or doing something that really should not make it hot.
                                My previous phone (Xperia XZ1 Compact) was perfect sizewise but I guess we will never get as small phone with good specifications anymore.
                                Also they broke the fingerprint reader logic in 5 III, it really should only read the finger when the display is one. Now the accidental touches (for example when putting the phone in pocket) will unlock the display. And the one hand mode was broken in Android update, earlier the screen was scaled down and it was usable, now they just hide part of the screen and it just doesn't work in usability wise.

                                        999 price tag? RIP 5 V..... Or just wait a few months when Sony realize how crappy their pricing & drop it's price.
