A future competitor to the Samsung Galaxy S23 and Apple iPhone 15 in the shrinking miniature smartphone market.
Sony introduced new compact flagship smartphone - Xperia 5 V. The device has updated the camera system, which no longer has a telephoto lens, but has a much larger main sensor.
The phone still has a 6.1-inch Full HD+ OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The aspect ratio is 21:9. And on the sides are front stereo speakers.
Sony has equipped the Xperia 5 V with the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, as well as 8GB of RAM and 128GB of flash storage, which can be expanded using a microSD card slot.
The 3.5mm headphone jack also held its own for another year - a real rarity among the tops these days.
The company abandoned the triple camera in favor of a double one - this is the first noticeable difference from its predecessor Xperia 5 IV. It includes a 1/1.35-inch sensor with a resolution of 52 MP, which shoots at 12 MP by default. The second module is an ultra-wide-angle one with 12 megapixels and support for dual-pixel autofocus. The front camera is also 12 MP.
The 5,000mAh battery supports 30W fast wired charging. True, the charging adapter will need to be purchased separately.
Thanks to the diagonal of the screen and the height of the Xperia 5 V, it has retained its modest dimensions by modern standards and has even become a little shorter. At the same time, I gained weight (11 grams) and became a little fatter. However, he still looks very petite. In the shrinking market for compact flagships, the gadget will be able to compete with the Samsung Galaxy S23 and the expected Apple iPhone 15 and 15 Pro.
Smartphone Sony Xperia 5 V will be released at the end of September. The novelty was estimated at 999 euros (≈105,000 rubles).
