Editorial report
Sony Xperia 5 technical sheet
The Sony Xperia 5 suits buyers after a compact OLED phone with versatile cameras; the main trade-off is its 3,140 mAh battery, which holds less capacity than most phones launched around the same time. The 6.1-inch display and 164 g weight make for a compact package, while its 449 ppi density is among the highest of its time. Its 60 Hz refresh rate is average, and the 80.9% screen-to-body ratio is below average.
A Snapdragon 855, 6 GB of RAM—above average—and expandable storage make for hardware better than most phones launched around the same time. The camera is also better than most: it has a telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom and an f/1.6 aperture among the brightest of its time. The main camera sensor, however, is smaller than average. Connectivity is better than most, with Wi-Fi 6, NFC, USB-C and support for two Nano-SIM cards. Stereo speakers and IP65/IP68 protection add to the package.
Its 18 W fast charging is average for phones of its time, while the battery capacity remains lower than most. The overall NeoScore is 5.1. This is a strong fit for buyers who prioritize a light design, a detailed display and camera flexibility, and are willing to accept a relatively small battery as the trade-off.
