Specifications and price of Sony Xperia 5 Mark 5

Sony’s compact flagship is equipped with a 6.1-inch OLED screen with full HD+ resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate, which has stereo speakers at the top and bottom. The power of this device, like other 2023 Android flagships, is provided by the Snapdragon 8 generation 2 chip.

Sony launches the Xperia 5 Mark 5 in only one version, and this version uses 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal memory, however, you can also use a memory card with a maximum capacity of 1 TB. Unlike most of the flagships in the market, this device is still equipped with a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

This year, Sony has decided to use only two cameras instead of the triple main camera, although this time it has gone for a higher quality main sensor. In fact, Sony’s compact flagship uses the main 52 megapixel 1.35-inch camera used in the Xperia 1 Mark 5. By default, this camera provides users with 12 megapixel 24 mm images.

Thanks to the increased size of the sensor, Sony’s new flagship captures better quality images in low light conditions and also provides users with 2x zoom. The second camera of this device is 12 megapixels 1/2.5 inch ultra wide with a focal length of 16 mm. On the front of the Xperia 5 V is a 12-megapixel 1/2.9-inch selfie camera.

The energy of this flagship is provided by a 5000 mAh battery that is capable of supporting 30W fast charging, although you have to purchase its charger separately. Finally, we should mention that the Xperia 5 Mark 5 with the default operating system Android 13 has a price of 999 euros or 1084 dollars.
