Sony Xperia 5 V

80% Sony Xperia 5 V Review: A Compact Mix of Old and New
Source: Nextpit EN EN→zh-CN
The 2023 Xperia 5 follows the patterns we have come to expect from Sony: Some impressive technical specs mixed with lots of things that were inherited from previous generations. By this time, it appears that the Japanese company is tailoring its products to a very specific segment of the market, which reminds me of lots of other niche products from the Asian country. The Panasonic laptops with circular trackpads (and optical drives), the Aibo robot pets, mobile digital TV (oneSeg, which for a brief moment was also very popular in my native Brazil), and arcade games (*sigh*). Sony may argue that it thinks the Xperia 5 V is the best phone for content creators, but that group has long sailed to the iPhone waters.

80% Sony Xperia 5 V review: Saved by the camera
Source: Techradar EN→zh-CN
The Sony Xperia 5 V won't be an obvious upgrade for people with older 5-series phones – it's comparatively chunky, its screen quality is weaker, and its optical zoom pales – especially set against the Xperia 5 III. We also wish it had more than 128GB of storage, even with that microSD card slot. It costs less than its predecessor at launch, though, and with a best-in-class main camera, great battery life, and excellent performance, there's just enough here to help it hold its own against today's high-end competition, especially on the camera front.

80% Sony Xperia 5 V Review: Baby steps
Source: Phone Arena EN→zh-CN
The Xperia 5 V is a great little phone. That being said, smartphone evolution seems to be slowing down at alarming rates. A new camera sensor and a better chipset now justify launching a new model, while a couple of years ago it would've meant PR harakiri for the poor company brave enough to try this. Back to the Xperia 5 Mark V. There are a lot of pros to this phone, some of them on paper, others transcending pure specs and entering real life. The screen is great, the chipset is fast, and there are a whole bunch of now-oldschool options such as a 3.5mm audio jack, a microSD card, etc. The double-action shutter button is a thing every phone with a decent camera should have, and the new main camera sensor is great, no doubt about it. There's very capable pro-grade software on top of all this, and if you're patient and passionate enough, you can do wonders with the Xperia 5 V.

The Xperia 5 V targets professional photographers on the go with its many camera apps and features, and we are sure it will find some love from them. The phone is super compact yet powerful and has amazing battery life, which will tip the scales for many users. Being an expensive device makes the Xperia 5 V a tough sell, but far from impossible. This phone, just like many other Xperias, has a unique charm and innovative set of features - a combo that will make it attractive to the right people for sure.

100% Sony Xperia 5 V review: the Sony sweet spot
Source: Stuff TV EN→zh-CN
By adding a bit more mainstream appeal, but not sacrificing the features long-time fans have come to expect, the Xperia 5 V is a wonderfully well-rounded smartphone. It’ll please photographers who insist on manual controls, but computational cleverness and an auto-night mode mean novices can get in on the action too. Performance is comfortably on par with rivals, battery life is fantastic, and the software is streamlined. The display is a knockout too, even if the aspect ratio is still a bit “love it or hate it”. Not everyone will appreciate the camera’s more nuanced colour treatment either – but those wanting a break from the overly vivid snaps seen on other phones will be more than happy here. Price-wise it’s also very competitive, landing in the UK on par with the Samsung Galaxy S23 Google Pixel 7 Pro at £849 (although both can be had for less, having done the rounds for the best part of a year).

Sony Xperia 5 V Hands-on: The Return of the Compact
Source: Nextpit EN EN→zh-CN
With a brief look at the Xperia 5 V, we couldn't draw conclusions regarding it. The Sony phone still features many impressive features in a single package, but its design is starting to show its age. Likewise, a few of the app additions look dated on top of the stock Android 13 interface, with some design touches inherited from the Xperia Z days. On the other hand, it is good to see that Sony is soldiering on features that were abandoned long ago on other flagship phones, like the headphone jack or microSD slot. We will take a closer look at the Sony Xperia 5 V soon after spending more time with the device and will update this page with a full review, so make sure to follow nextpit's front page and social media channels!
