Sony remains active in the mobile phone market and doesn’t shy away from the higher end of the spectrum. With a suggested retail price of 999 euros, the Xperia 5V competes with the best devices on the market.

Sony launches the Sony Xperia 5V. This is a premium smartphone with a recommended retail price of 999 euros. For this money, Sony has to offer a top-of-the-line device given the competition in the market. The manufacturer is in an outsider position these days and has to compete against Samsung’s huge marketing budgets. In return, Sony offers the following hardware:

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
  • 6.1-inch 21:9 screen (1080 x 2520 pixels)
  • 8GB RAM
  • 128 GB storage (also available with 256 GB)
  • 48 MP f/1.9 main camera with optical image stabilization and pixel binning
  • 12MP f/2.2 wide-angle lens
  • 12MP f/2.0 selfie camera
  • 5,000 mAh battery

Most specs are competitive, although we do question the modest camera selection. A good main camera is accompanied by a wide-angle camera that is outdated on paper. Sony makes up for this by equipping the main camera with a dual lens, giving you a choice of focal lengths of 16mm, 24mm and 48mm (similar to 2X). The same sensor is always behind it, so that the quality of the photos remains theoretically identical.

The smartphone comes with a battery that, according to Sony, lasts a whole day. Proprietary technology is reportedly making the phone consume less battery power. Unfortunately, fast charging doesn’t seem to be included. In terms of design, Sony relies on a minimalist look with a small camera island. The edges of the screen are clearly visible, but stereo speakers are installed.

With the Xperia 5 V (Five Five), Sony provides an interesting device that can stand out from the rest with its flexible main camera. In addition, the specifications are competitive except for the meager wide-angle camera. The device will be available this month.
