Sony Xperia 5 review

Finding a flagship phone in compact form is something that has become increasingly difficult as OEMs steadily move to building more oversized devices. However, Sony has persisted with their now-defunct “Compact” series, and more recently the Xperia 5. Sony called time on the popular Compact series and rebooted their smartphone line with the Xperia 1 after announcing the device at MWC last year. With a focus on the 21:9 aspect ratio and no real small form factor counterpart, it wasn’t clear whether we’ll see a true Compact follow-up. Luckily, the Sony Xperia 5 is here in an attempt to fill the void left behind by the Compact series. After initially being unveiled at IFA 2019 in Berlin, the Xperia 5 was released with little fanfare. It could be the slightly smaller Sony smartphone for those wanting all the benefits of the Xperia 1, but in a package that is supposed to be easier to handle. With compact phones becoming increasingly hard to find, a compact flagship is like a unicorn without severe compromises — see Google Pixel 4. With that in mind, just how does the Xperia 5 fare at this stage of 2020? Design and hardware As far as smartphone designs go, the Sony Xperia 5 is a bit of a misnomer. For starters, the tall, elongated display seems at odds with what the rest of the industry is doing. I must say that I quite like it though, as it’s pretty unique, and at least Sony is trying to differentiate itself from the crowd. Sony might market Xperia 5 as a “compact” smartphone, but it’s far from it. That will come as a disappointment to many of you hoping that this is the reimagining of the Xperia Compact line, because this is still a big phone in most regards. Sony has barely even shaved any real size off the Xperia 1 with this model.

As per my experience if you are searching for a high performance camera phone surely you can go through it
