Sony Xperia 5 V review: Compact and powerful with a great camera

Sony's commissioner explained to me that Xperia 5 V was designed for young people and authoritative people as a higher flagship model. In fact, in any first part, I think I'm a motivated audience, and in fact, the second part is probably not enough. Xperia 5 V is 819 pounds and can only be used in the UK. The Xperia 5 V gives the average version of the last line of the Xperia mobile phone from Sony, and is located with a much cheaper Xperia 10 V, which is much cheaper as flagship Xperia 1 V.

Xperia 5 V is equipped with last year's flagship chipset, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 microcessors (same as Honor Magic V2 RSR PORSCHE Design), 8GB RAM, and 128GB buil t-in storage. Equipped with a good dual video camera with a good 48MP front and an ultr a-high magnification of 12MP, the screen is 6, 1-inch OLED 2560X1080 and elegant. It also has a Micro SD memory card and headphone jack, which is unique today's mobile phone terminal.

Design

The feel of the Xperia 5 V in hand is wonderful. The matte surface has a smooth touch and blends into your hand. According to the exterior of the Xperia 5 V, the recent Sony mobile phone terminal has a rounded elegant housing. Such designs are likely to be knocked out from an advanced flagship or mi d-range mobile phone collective lineup, but I don't care.

The size of 6, 1 inches is a small size close to my Galaxy S21 Ultra, while the volume of Xperia 5 V is slightly smaller, so it is a little difficult to hold it with one hand. This is larger than a box, and you need to get used to it a little more in the hills, but this is just a few instant matters, and I was already up. Xperia 5 V is still perfectly designed: duralumi n-Side and glass front GORILLLA glass Victus 2. The back is actually made of grind glass, which makes a cute contrast with still glossy aluminum.

Xperia 5 V is a particularly blu e-sensible mobile phone. VOBSCHEM, accessible, more normal options.

Model 5V is available in 3 colors: dark, platinum, blue. Each is good, but once it is an original color option, when it is absolutely distinguished from Xperia 5 V, it is not hidden behind the cover. There is no noticeable Video Camera Tuberkel, which distinguishes it from most of the telephone cars presented in today's market.

Unlike many other models in the same price, Xperia 5 V has some features that are one of the most interesting options. First, the fingerprint authentication sensor is hidden by the power button on the right, and can be accessed to the headphone jack and Micro SD card slot. These two features are very likely to have been lost in recent years, so it is a great thing for extended storage and wired headphones enthusiasts.

US B-C is standard equipment, but there is no micro SD card slot.

Display

Regarding the display, the small 6. 1-inch screen of Xperia 5 V is unusual in this price range. It's good to be able to get something more compact and thinner, but because I selected the side 21: 9, Xperia 5 V is a little taller than expected, so if you hold it from below, you take the upper part of Phone. Sometimes it is difficult.

There is a fairly large edge around the screen, especially the upper and lower part. It is for arranging the Xperia 5 V cellific camera, but it is a bit strange to place the camera there and not enclose it into the display in the form of a hole. Nevertheless, this 6, 1-inch screen is slightly more compact than I am familiar with, and you can see the content comfortably.

The screen itself is highly reliable and is suitable for everyday use to watch movies and games. It is a fairly bright display with a solid peak brightness, and because it is an OLED panel, Xperia 5 V can obtain deep black and bright colors.

However, in the state of the box, especially in bright backgrounds and applications, the screen is bluish and a slightly cold impression. The manufacturer mode added by Sony warms the color of the screen and balances the cold setting immediately after taking it out of the box, and the image on the screen of Xperia 5 V saves kindness and is much better. appear.

The updated frequency of 120Hz provides smooth movements, especially important in daily navigation and scrolling, and is the same for games where the high update frequency is especially welcomed. Currently, even cheap smartphones have a 90Hz update frequency, the improvement of 30Hz is a small but remarkable improvement. < SPAN> Unlike many other models in the same price range, Xperia 5 V is one of the most interesting options.

The dual video camera was installed on the back panel of Xperia 5 V, which led my concern in the first place. As a result, the question was that Xperia 5 V may be slightly underestimated compared to other mobile phones in this price range. But it's a good thing to point out that it's not. Sony's ful l-camera development technology was handed down to Xperia 5 V, taking pictures of natural colors and beautiful details. Given a larger detector, this is not surprising, and the photos of Xperia 5 V were very satisfying with the introduction of a 24mm lens. Belonging
Of course, there is no dedicated telephoto lens, so it becomes a digital zoom, but it is a bit disappointing considering that the predecessor model used digital zoom. In particular, I was not satisfied with me, considering that I was hooked on the normal S21 Ultra 10 times the optical and 100 times digital zoom. The 6x digital zoom of Xperia 5 V is absolutely enough for the best shot photos without any further editing, but you will definitely sacrifice the comparison comparison with optical zoom. Working on lo w-lighting standards is absolutely applied, and Sony's special night system helps to overcome the tasks quite well, thanks to the good levels. It's, for example, I'm not bad as the latest Samsung nighttime system that I tested in the second generation of their flagship, but still cool down at the worse level. The 1 2-megapixel video camera for selfie is also very plausible, but the portrait mode is only a blurred field and the effect of the specialized side. My problems provided by o n-camera are not hardware or performance, but software. However, Sony's personal user interface has a basic installation, and as a normal camera-interface, it is not intuitive than other Android mobile phones in the same price range. The Auto mode was used in my photos, added more options and I was able to try it, but it was quite uncomfortable and accounted for more than 50 % of the screen. < SPAN> The back panel of the Xperia 5 V has a dual video camera, which led my concern in the first place.
