Xperia 5 promo video. I like it, even the product page is more dynamic with clips from this. I think it looks better than Xperia 1. X5 is more symmetrical on the front and the back glass is less curvy. The grey option looks better too. Pricing will make or break this phone. At 800 it doesn't have a chance imo.

Pity they didn't make it a 5G phone, it would have been good for PR

Seems like Sony use lower level Exmor RS sensor on 5.
No memory stack, No dual photo diode, No Optical SteadyShot™ No H.265 on 4K recording
Dual photo diode is mentioned in the camera features, as is OIS for the 26 and 52mm lenses.

From Mr Buks
· Xperia 1 has a higher screen size and Xperia 5 has a smaller screen size
· Xperia 1 does not support 30fps continuous exposure calculation
· Xperia 5 does not support 960fps ultra slow motion (CMOS changed)
· Xperia 1 battery is 3330mAh, Xperia 5 battery is 3140mAh
Other software feature differences should be aligned after the upgrade
If you want a small size phone, you can wait for it. 5
If you want to buy a Sony flagship, or Xperia 1

Just to ensure I fully understand, the Xperia 5 is a lesser version of Xperia 1?
Or are they meant to be variants?
Naming convention is all over the place here.

So, this phone is more narrow than the S10 but taller. One would probably say that the it's probably as good as the S10 which is around the same price. It should've been OnePlus 7 price because let's be honest, the only reason you get this over the Xperia 1 is the smaller size. Flipping S10E is the king of compact phones this year.
Xperia 5 is decent but too expensive and no way compact. Would be interesting to know S10+, S10 and S10E sales against each other to know if there is a market there or not.

1080p low Hz display
No wireless charging
No jack
Flat screen without cuts or holes or anything that'd make the manufacturing harder/pricier
Plain old fingerprint sensor
No infrared face unlock or even an autofocus front camera that lacks 4K recording (low mp)
Yet they charge $800? Aside from aspect ratio this phone is not unique.
Without the earbuds it's not worth it. They should have priced it 750 max without the buds. I'm pretty sure I'll hear reviews say "It's a good phone but at that price it's hard to recommend. This and that is cheaper with more features. etc." If they could they should price it 699, so it's a good deal and people would be willing to try something new.

Anyone know a website that sells cases for the Xperia 5?
None on ebay or amazon
