I bought this phone for their dual speaker setup, but its not, It is single speaker i.e sound quality is acceptable. 6 inch screen with 367ppi is good, but not great also some user shall find c5 little bulky but it feels so good in hand because of thin body. 13MP camera is awesome with bunch of cool features also downloadable front is same as back. 16 gigabyte on-board storage feels little small for lollypop OS, and may be also get worse for update to marshmallow. OSs are getting GB hungry these days,although it supports upto 200 external storage.

                            I've got the same problem of battery draining extremely fast too, like 100% drained in 3 hours, it even drained when it's idle. Charging is really slow too, like 8 hours. I suspect it's because of the draining problem. I found a fix at the following link:

                            http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-C5-Ultra/Android-System-drain/m-p/1064289/highlight/false#M255

                            I've copied the solution as follows:

                            (Go to WiFi advanced settings

                            Select option Keep wifi on during sleep and select Never.
                            Go back to home screen press the button on side for the screen to go off then put the phone down for a few minutes.

                            Press the power button for the display to come back on and you should notice that the wifi symbol will start to come on.

                            Now, follow the steps above, except this time select Always.
                            Go back to home screen press the button on side for the screen to go off then put the phone down for a few minutes.

                            And thats all I did.

                            If like mine, you should notice within a few hours that battery draining has more or less stopped.)

                            I'm really happy with the phone now. The only thing now is that it heats up a bit when playing games. Not too hot though. But there are so many good points about the phone. The display is amazing, amazing colour contrast, natural colour, without the image enhancement. Switching to Bravia or vivid kind of distort the colour, so i won't use the image enhancement. Sound better than my previous Xperia Z. The speaker is pretty loud. The sound on speaker won't crack even on maximum volume and it has a really nice low bass to it, not heavy though. Putting on a pair of decent earphones, the audio on clear audio mode is simply superb. The camera is really good. The camera start up isn't the fastest, yet not too slow. It's not an issue for me. I have no problem waiting for 1 second for it to start up. The interesting thing about the camera is if you open by swiping right on locked screen, it'll go to auto mode. If you unlock the screen and you open the camera by pressing the camera icon, it'll go to the setting that you've previously used. i want to share this because i saw in some comments that when they go to the camera, it always go to auto mode and not the setting that they previously used. The phone is fast enough for me. The phone is simply gorgeous. I've got the white version. I just love it.

                                  I would just like to ask if ur c5 ultra battery reaches up to 2 days coz mine does not. In the power management supposedly after charging to 100% it should indicate 2 days and 11hrs for estimated battery life. But then in my phone instead of 2 days and 11hrs it only shows 24hrs. And the charging time is really slow and the battery drains really fast. Am i only the one having these kind of problem? Really appreciate if u reply thanks a lot!

                                        i think its normal to get overheating on C5 ultra because of its big screen with its high brightness so i recommend not to increase brightness and switch it to Auto otherwise most of phones gets overheated because of its reasons that i mentioned C5 working great for men Right Now using it for about 1 week
