Sony Xperia 5v Review: Five Amazing Features

With the new Sony Xperia 5 V, the possibilities are endless. This Xperia is a tech fanatic’s dream, featuring everything from a lightweight slim design to full-stage stereo speakers. We were lucky enough to get our hands on this flagship handset to put its top features to the test – here’s what we found! 

Simple & Seamless Flat Form Design

Sony has truly excelled in crafting a design that seamlessly blends style with functionality. The Xperia 5 V boasts a meticulously detailed metal frame that’s complemented by the exquisite touch of frosted glass. This design not only offers a soft, tactile feel but also presents a sense of effortless unity. When it comes to colour choices, customers can pick from three stunning options: Black, Blue, and Silver. We got our hands on the Blue Xperia 5 V, and it’s safe to say that this colour is a true standout.

Room-Filling Sound: Full-Stage Stereo Speakers & 6.1” Bright Real-Time HDR Display

Our smartphones are the hub of on-the-go entertainment so it’s important that we have one that can do the job well. The Xperia 5 V is equipped with evolved full-stage stereo speakers located on the front of the device and a bright 6.1” OLED display. These speakers promise to immerse users in crystal-clear, true-to-life audio, capable of filling any room with its impressive sound quality. Meanwhile, the display takes the viewing experience to extraordinary heights, thanks to Real Time HDR, promising an exceptionally vivid and vibrant visual feast.

To put these features to the test I headed to Netflix and hit play on one of the most talked about films on the platform right now – The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar starring everyone’s favourite Benedict Cumberbatch. The Xperia 5 V’s stereo speakers and display lived up to the marketing claims and delivered an immersive cinema-worthy experience throughout. So if you’re filmed-obsessed or a music lover, this smartphone is bound to boost your entertainment experience to new levels. As a delightful bonus, it’s worth noting that this Xperia model also caters to the loyal following of wired-headphone connoisseurs with its inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Exceptional Camera With New Generation Exmor T Mobile Sensor 

When you first learn that the Xperia 5 V is equipped with a cutting-edge Exmor T mobile sensor in its dual camera setup, you might find yourself a bit perplexed. But fear not; let’s break it down for you. This sensor has been meticulously designed to capture an abundance of light, ensuring that every photo you take with the Xperia 5 V is imbued with exceptional detail and vividness, even in challenging low-light conditions.

To put this feature to the test, I took some photos of Reading Minster, and the results were nothing short of impressive. Producing bright and incredibly detailed photos with the Xperia 5 V was a breeze.

A Battery That Can Last Until the Next Day

A long-lasting smartphone battery is a game changer, and the 5 V’s 5,000 mAh battery definitely ticks that box. After embarking on a full day with the Xperia 5 V in hand, the battery performance exceeded my expectations. Any concern about the device running out of power at an inconvenient moment completely disappeared, resulting in a stress-free and seamless user experience – yet another triumph for Sony.

Extraordinary Performance: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Chipset

Within the realm of technology, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset has made a name for itself. This groundbreaking chip harnesses the power of cutting-edge AI to enhance battery efficiency and tackle demanding tasks with remarkable speed. Whether it’s capturing photos, seamlessly running multiple apps, or engaging in gaming, the Sony Xperia 5 V handles it all with exceptional speed and efficiency.
