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