Dont like this phone at all. I have only been using this phone for only one and half year. I dont need more than half a year to shout, I want a new phone. But this phone is not cheap. So I must bear with this phone for quite a long time for me. This phone OS is bad, bad, and super bad. Camera very difficult to use. Dust proof? Haha my phone is very dirty in the loudspeaker, or etc. Battery? No need to say, one day 3times charging. The most disappointing is the OS is useless. Of all the phone I have ever bought, this is the worst and the most expensive one. So no more sony for me for at least a few new phone. Soon I will change my phone to the new one, but will not be another sony anymore.

    THE MOST DISSAPOINTING I HAD EVER BUY. Oftenly black out when using. Battery heats up. If the battery was 50% before it turn off by itself, it wil be 20% left after i reopened it. Beautiful photos taken but takes a very long time to process it.The camera blurs when using auto mode. The video blur and cannot shoot video from far because it doesnt focus and you cant see anything. My advice is, dont buy this phone!

              Hugely disappointing mobile phone. I bought this as my first "get away from Apple" phone and although on paper it has very good specs, in reality it is a very slow performance, buggy and frustrating piece of technology. The storage gets almost instantly used by the forever updating software, the battery heats up to some questionable temperatures and after about 3 months the motherboard basically just gives up and function becomes like pulling teeth. My advice would be to just buy a good camera and a basic smartphone.

                    Worst phone from Sony. Lot of problems. After one year the motherboard gets failure. Including my phone I saw 3 mobile with same motherboard failure. In service centre itself they states the mobile is failure model Bcoz of motherboard. So Plz don't waste Ur money.

                          Worst Mobile everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, Not water proof at all. If you check deep in the specs you will find that its only used in normal water (No pool or sea so probably in your shower :-)) and even though the water still enters in it and Sony will not help at all. Finally this mobile is really baaaaaaaaad

                                I concur with many of the negative comments especially.

                                Battery draining/overheating/ causing phone to crash and only allowing reboot if plugged in to an external charger!

                                LTE... Phone crashes if LTE is used therefore can only use 3G!

                                No support from supplier except to factory reset.

                                Will never consider Sony again..now using Chinese phones without these unadmitted (by Sony) and apparently unsolvable issues!

                                        The M5 is a TERRIBLE phone, please don't bother considering to buy this garbage.

                                        1. It's NOT waterproof. I use it in SHALLOW water for 5 minutes and bubbles started to come in, pretty soon the touchscreen was unresponsive even after I dried it up. Had to replace the whole screen for almost 150 usd.

                                        2. Battery life is very very very terrible. Stamina mode? Don't even bother.

                                        3. Rear camera takes ages to focus on objects less than 10cm away. Even if it does focus, after pressing the camera button it can refocus and outcome is a useless out-of-focus image.

                                        4. Front camera, although 21 MP, has a built-in filter that makes faces look unnaturally glowing in every shot.

                                        5. This phone cannot even record or play Voice Notes in Whatsapp properly. Even after a factory reset.

                                        6. Auto-shutdown issues (seriously this phone has got problems)

                                        7. My front and rear cameras STOPPED working permanently without me even dropping it or anything. It's a software problem which even a factory reset cannot fix.

                                        8. The bluetooth connection is terrible.

                                        9. Sometimes the display hangs and restarting doesn't solve the problem, only after connecting it to a charger will the phone work (EVEN THOUGH THE BATTERY IS ALMOST FULL)

                                        10. DUAL? Yeah right. If I put it two SIMs, both networks will fail to get signals. I HAVE TO REMOVE THE SECOND OR FIRST SIM IN ORDER TO GET A WORKING NETWORK SIGNAL.

                                        I have always been a loyal user of Sony since its Sony Ericsson days, but after using the M5 I have no trust in Sony anymore. Sony is seriously falling behind in the modern phone race. It tries to market itself as the best in phone cameras but seriously speaking, it's all just history now.
