Our Sony Xperia 5 V Review

The Sony Xperia 5 V is essentially like the little sibling of the 10 V. It still packs a good punch, but is designed not with professionals in mind but more for younger people. And better yet, it comes at a lower price point.

Sony Xperia 5 V: Display

The Sony Xperia 5 V’s OLED display comes with 1080 x 2520 resolution and HDR10 brings clear and vibrant visuals while the 120Hz refresh rate makes for smooth motion, especially welcome for those who like a good mobile game.

Sony Xperia 5 V: Camera

The dual camera setup on the rear may seem to put the phone down, considering others in its price bracket typically feature three cameras.

However, Sony’s expertise in creating industry-leading camera equipment has been shared on the 5 V and as such provides the cameras on this phone with natural colours in the images and great levels of detail thanks to the 48 MP main camera and 12 MP ultrawide.

Sony Xperia 5 V: Design

The Sony Xperia 5 V is designed to be more compact and feel great to hold. That may not always be the number one priority for your phone, but when one is designed to be comfortable, the difference is clear.

At 6.1 inches, it has more height than width, so it may take some getting used to. The Gorilla Glass Victus 2 also helps for a strong and sturdy face.

Sony Xperia 5 V: Performance

Sharing the same chipset as the 1 V, the Xperia 5 V boasts the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which was the best for Android phones at the time of the device's release. 8GB of RAM also helps to provide sublime performance.

As for battery life, you’ll find it hard to be beaten in the 5 V. Many tests conducted on the it see the phone run for over 24 hours before its 5000mAh battery dies - for size comparison, that matches the celebrated Samsung S24 Ultra and beats the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s 4441mAh battery.

Sony Xperia 5 V: Features

The Sony Xperia 5 V shares many of the same features as the 1 V, including fast charging and a side-mounted fingerprint for easy accessibility.

How much is the Sony Xperia 5 V?

For everything that is included with the Sony Xperia 5 V, the price point of £819 upon its release is a welcome one.

Sony Xperia 5 V: Our verdict

The Sony Xperia 5 V may be the younger and cheaper sibling of the 1 V, but in our opinion, the value for money with this device is incomparable.

The 5 V brings to the table everything the 1 V has just scaled down while still keeping its great performance and even greater camera. This is a true underdog for value excellence in the mobile phone market
