Description

Sony Xperia M5, which can be viewed as a successor to the Xperia M4 Aqua, comes with a 5-inch 1080p display and is powered by a 64-bit MediaTek MT6795 chipset, a 2.0GHz octa-core silicon that is a member of MediaTek's top-end Helio X10 line. There's also 3GB of RAM, 16GB of native storage and a microSD card slot, and a 2,600mAh battery at the back to keep lights on. Android 5.0 Lollipop with Sony's Xperia UI is powering the device. Undoubtedly, the highlight of the phone is its camera, a 21.5MP rear snapper that has an f/2.2 aperture and has a maximum light sensitivity of up to ISO 3200. The rear camera comes with a fast hybrid autofocus that is reportedly able to do its mojo in merely 250 milliseconds.

This device is also known as Sony E5603, Sony E5606, Sony E5653

Sony Xperia M5! The Super-Midrange Smartphone of 2015/2016

Posted: Jan 30, 2017, 3:42 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

The Sony Xperia M5 was dubbed the "Super"-midrange phone of the year in Mobile Choice Awards 2016 and I wouldn't agree less....Great water resistant build, impressive performance, good enough solid battery life(1 day and a half on normal average usage) and awesome cameras for great value of money! Truly a wonderful phone to have! Expect it to last around 2/3 years!

Camera quality is good and also good multimedia activities
harp screen
Decent value
Water-resistant
Impressive performance
But battery is pretty average
Too much bloatware
Sony's boring design
No Android 6.0 Marshmallow
