Sony Xperia 5 V 5G -puhelin, 128/8 Gt, platinanhopea

Battery life is great, camera super and software especially if you owned sony cameras. Screen quality is one of the best, overall love design and quality of phone

Great audio. Camera is really good. Easy to use. Feels great in the hand and a compact size. 3.5mm jack and Bluetooth are excellent. Highly recommendfed.

Seriously under rated phone that ticks all the boxes, one of the few phones I have ever owned that does and has the best audio of any phone out there.

Pro's - Big battery, great camera, powerful / fast, compact, good build quality, Micro SD card, 3.5mm headphone jack, great audio, no AI gimicks, almost stock Android, great screen up to 120Hz*, reliable fingerprint scanner..... Etc Etc

Neg* - Screen refresh rate minimum 60Hz, so no always on display... but that's it.

This is my first Xperia phone that I've used for 4-6 weeks,I have bought Xperia phone's before but never kept them longer then a few days due to camera not being good enough or other issues with software or hardware,this Xperia 5 v is the first Xperia that I find almost perfect and decided to keep for a long term,the camera has seriously been improved whether I'm using basic or manual mode and the portraits this phone can take in the right conditions are unbelievable,the blur ,bokeh balls the best I've ever seen, battery is superb can last all day with heavy use and after 15-16 hours still has 35-45 battery percentage remaining after 6+ hours of screen on time truly impressive,phone barely heats up,just wish Sony would increase the update policy because this phone has the capability to last 5-6 years if it had the right software support,hope this review helps anyone on the fence.the size is perfect and s reen has no blue tint as reported by some and is actually nice and vibrant and a pleasure to watch things on as well as the great sounding front facing stereo speaker's,not to forget the headphone jack and the SD card reader,all in all a fully fledged mobile phone experience with lots of pluses.

SD card reader, headphone jack, large battery, front-facing speakers, no notch, enthusiast cameras, tall aspect ratio, square design. Perfect.

Only gripe is that they removed the notification LED. Still, the rest is great.

For the future, I hope they consider a removable battery. Metal build held together with standard screws maybe? I can dream.

I'll keep buying Sony phones; they seem to be the only manufacturer who "gets it". Thank you Sony for considering functionality instead of blindly following trends. You have a dedicated userbase who loves you for it.

Fantastic camera

On par performance of the price

Amazing battery life

Sony oled screen

I needed a new phone and am biased toward Sony. Headphone jack and sd card are always a win win. The phone feels great in the hand and expensive as it should for the price. The xperia ui is slick and lightweight although the launcher is lacklustre: this is easily solved with a third party option. The Snapdragon 8 gen 2 is ridiculously powerful and responsive. The phone is great to use and always feels fast and snappy. On the downside, first the storage. Yes I know that there is an sd card slot which is great but the internal memory, at least here in the UK is only available at 128 which is pitiful. Why are the 256 & 512 variants not available here? Although the camera app is wonderful when in manual mode the basic mode needs to be better. One in three shots with it are out of focus and or over exposed. The exposure thing is sort of true in all modes as the camera has a tendency to over brighten shots. Lastly the promise of only two years of OS upgrades is downright outrageous considering how much these phones cost.

The phone is exactly what I expected. Easy to use, perfect camera, good battery life ( 4 days on a single charge ), a rich selection of programs for both photography and editing.

So many phones are too big for my wife's hands. Or they are small but, well, rubbish. The Xperia 5 series has been hitting the small size and top end features slot for years. She couldn't be happier. See you in a couple of years for the Xperia 5 VI or VII ;)

This Sony Xperia 5.V is the best compact phone so far ..I previous had the Sony Xperia 5 and I was so happy about. Easy to use great quality of photos I can play my games easily with one hand only and more ....
