The camera setup is composed of a 48MP main sensor, utilizing a 52-megapixel Exmore T Main sensor with an effective 48-megapixel resolution.

The Sony Xperia 5 V has finally been launched. The device is the company’s latest flagship-grade smartphone, which features top-notch specs and features whilst offering a compact form factor. So here are all the details regarding its specs, pricing, and more.

Sony Xperia 5 V: Design & Display

The Japanese tech giant has just unveiled its second flagship smartphone for 2023. The Xperia 1 V dropped earlier this year, and now we have a slightly watered-down version of this device with the Xperia 5 V model. The compact smartphone measures 154 x 68 x 8.6 mm and weighs just under 180 grams.

In other words, it has gained 11 grams and is slightly thicker (2mm) than its predecessor. The rear retains a glass panel. The front sports a 6.1-inch OLED display that features an FHD+ resolution, a 21:9 aspect ratio, and a 120Hz refresh rate. This panel supports HDR as well. Unfortunately, it doesn’t feature an LTPO panel and only supports 120Hz or 60Hz refresh rates.

Sony Xperia 5 V: Specs & Camera

Under the hood, the device is equipped with the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC that is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which can be further expanded via a microSD card slot. A large 5,000mAh battery pack powers this device, which supports 30W wired fast charging and 18W wireless fast charging speeds. Other notable features include IP68 water and dust resistance, Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front and back, LDAC and Hi-Res Audio support, full-stage stereo speakers, and Android 13 OS out of the box.

For optics, the Xperia 5 V features the same primary sensor as the Xperia 1 V. So buyers will find a 48-megapixel sensor that has a 1/1.35-inch optical format, a 24 mm equivalent focal length, OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), and autofocus support. Notably, the primary camera is the 52-megapixel Exmore T Main sensor, which has an effective 48-megapixel resolution. By default, the camera will capture 12-megapixel 24mm shots.

Sony also claims that the primary sensor can also offer 2x optical zoom. This camera is paired with a 12-megapixel ultra wide angle lens that has a 16mm focal length. It appears to be the same sensor used in last year’s Xperia 5 IV, which means it also offers dual-pixel autofocus. Meanwhile, the front also retains the Xperia 1 V’s 12-megapixel selfie shooter.

Sony Xperia 5 V: Pricing & Availability

Sony has announced the Xperia 5 V compact flagship phone in three color options. This includes Black, Blue, and Platinum Silver variants. The exact release date for this device is still unclear, but the device will likely be available from late September 2023. It will carry a price tag of 999 Euros.

Sony Xperia 5 V spotted on GeekBench again, this time with 16GB RAM

Sean — Wed, 30 Aug 2023 09:08:30 +0000

The Sony Xperia 5 V recently surfaced on GeekBench. The company’s upcoming flagship phone was spotted on the popular benchmarking platform last week. And now, a different variant surfaced on the website but with a higher RAM capacity. So let’s have a look.

Sony Xperia 5 V GeekBench

In our previous report, the NA model of the Xperia 5 V surfaced on GeekBench carrying the XQ-DE54 model number. It was equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SOC that is paired with 8GB of RAM. This model also ran on Android 13 OS. Last week’s sighting of Xperia 5 V had it receive a score of 1,443 points on single-core tests and 4,546 points on multi-core tests.

But the latest GeekBench scores are slightly higher. The Sony Xperia 5 V managed to score 1,966 points in the single-core and 5,350 points in the multi-core test. However, the most notable aspect of the listing was that the device housed 16GB of RAM. This basically confirms that the phone will launch in 8GB and 16GB RAM variants.

The Xperia 5 V could be a less premium version of the Sony Xperia 1 V since the Xperia 1 V originally launched with 12GB of RAM for the base model. This is 4GB higher than the upcoming Xperia 5 V. Although, other rumors have also hinted that the Japanese tech giant could offer the device with a higher 16GB RAM in certain markets. But these will likely be locked to certain region-specific models and won’t get a global release.
