Sony Xperia 5 Real-World Test (Camera & Battery Test)

The new Sony Xperia 5 is here and so figured it was a good time to do a real-world test on it. Let's see what the Xperia 5 camera and battery are like, compare it to other phones in the same price range and how it fairs in a normal day.

The only smartphone brand that really tries to deliver a real camera quality instead of these HDR processed things we can see everywhere.

[@sameerumarofficial3559]

Most underrated Sony Xperia Phones. But Sony is King of all Mobile Phones. If Someone Knows.

[@sonicxa2189]

For me, the best phone out there. Like xa, xz series. Sony was always offering the best products. Integrated qualitative and reliable appliances. As for the video. Maybe one of the best reviews. No any kind of hate or partiality. Honest and respect to Sony brand. Many likes to your video.

[@ChrisEsparza]

The new studio looks great! Tons of potential in that space!!

[@omarzahr2414]

Awesome and honest reviewer, you're just so good keep up man! Thanks a lot. I like the conclusion 🙂

I had this phone for over a month and have no complain

[@user-zr4wh3lh5v]

It looks impressive

[@RabbitTeck]

A lot of KZbinrs don't review Sony because the market is dead in the USA but this phone is very good but it can be greater if the price drops more

[@user-zr4wh3lh5v]

@@RabbitTeck Is it because they are Japanese? In the UK they are available. But Sony not great at marketing. And this phone was 529 pounds on Black Friday. About 450 dollars. I think that's a very good deal.

[@adriant.7457]

As an extensive Sony phones user, I can confirm that the thing draining battery like crazy (and this is not shown properly in the settings) is the camera. There might be other small stuff that we are not aware of, or do not show correctly in the battery usage, but using the camera, the battery just goes away pretty fast. :D

[@khixrForgor]

[@tjp.marasigan2966]

All video editor application for mobile phones drains battery fast in all mobile brand I noticed it in Samsung note series ,Xperia flagship, also in Xiaomi with 4000 MaH battery

[@MrWalker1000]

what do you have to say about the phone now at the current price its at now?

[@amasha88]

Great conclusion at the end !! I came here after saw the Xperia 5 III, this is really promising, hope they enhance the camera till the shove a 1.0" sensor there, then we can call it a camera phone. And cut the top/bottom bezels and put a pop-up selfie camera. wow 🤯 🤯 🤯 can't wait !!

[@myasin1286]

A nice video. Shame about the battery life when using the camera but that’s the same with my iPhone XS. The more you use the camera the quicker the battery depletes. While on the subject of camera. It’s a shame there’s no night mode and the photos turn out more saturated than other phones as for portrait, well your face looks almost like a white sheet of paper. For me though the ergonomics of the phone are a real winner the narrow but tall aspect ratio does it for me and it’s nice to see an always on display. Just 2 questions? Was the phone on pie or 10? And which would you prefer between this and the pixel 3a on the basis of battery and camera quality?

[@amranibrahimrashidi]

So cool video review ever....good job man....

[@peterford9369]

You didn't mention the speakers 😯. I'm a pixel 3xl user and love my front facing stereo speakers. I know the phone has stereo speakers, but are they front facing or bottom firing on the lower one? And how do they sound? I Am looking into Xperia and that's what I'm interested in. Thanks 👍 Oh, sounds like you're little shared studio has some of my favorite reviewers. Good luck.

[@youdarkraver]

Actually, most of those shots came out looking best on Xperia IMO, except for that one indoor light shot, that last nightshot and that one yourmug portrait shot. I dont like pixel and iphones night modes, they make bad looking washed out shots, even OnePlus does better than those, although it helped them be better for the last one. Overall, very good camera on Xperia in real life test.

[@coyote7419]

Even tho the battery life is not likeable i think im still going to jump on this . hoping its good or better than the 1ii ?! Id wait for the 5ii but the warranty on broke phone wont wait that long

Sony won't deviate from their price points because, in the Japanese business mindset, Japanese customers will pay a premium for quality. Being cheaper doesn't necessarily entice them.

[@JoeNokers]

Sony makes a ton of money from enthusiast camera tech (they make the camera sensors for every iPhone and galaxy phone too) plus are killing the headphone market right now. So they do have a lot of profit in hardware

[@OmarSS87]

Playstation and sales of image sensors are the main business.

[@illertia]

I believe you are wrong.

[@victorrumyantsev3718]

Battery life isn't up for the price and device category for sure. Photos quality - just decent, certainly not the best compared to other phones in this review. So I'd say the only good thing about this phone is attractive design. I wish Google copied Xperia 5 design and took battery from the last year Huawei Mate 20 Pro. It would be a truly great phone even with heaps missing features of Galaxy S10 phones.

[@MrLoipurz]

Who bites that lip?

[@Yong130]

I love love Sony, but the 21:9 ratio is killing me, the phone feels like holding a remote control. Please please Sony, can we get the normal ratio back??

[@paddipat]

These days every phone has 18:9, 18,5:9, 19:9 and also 20:9 aspect ratio. I guess 21:9 will be the future, cause it's so much better to hold it this way. I own the Xperia 1 and although it has such a big screen, one handed use is doable without any problems. The side sense feature comes in handy here, as I don't have to stretch my hand to get most of the work done I want to do.

[@user-zr4wh3lh5v]

Probably just takes a little getting used to

[@Dragontrumpetare]

Just so that you know, the Camera guys always done SONY mobiles cameras, but they have such bad competative culture within SONY corp that makes one division sabotage another devision. The camera division was scared, if they did to good cameras on SONY mobile phones, they wont sell their own cameras. SO when SONY corp desided to merge 3 divisions to 1, it was to stop this competivness between this 3 divisions, so force them to work together. SO if Camera division go on sabotaging for Sony mobile, it will be bad for them as a camera division as well. Sony has always done great phones, and the cameras has never been bad, but they just lost "that" that people want.
