When the rumors of Sony Xperia 5 V appeared, many people felt that the 5 series only had a thinner screen, but the main specifications were the same as the 1 series, but the cancellation of the telephoto lens in the current generation is cutting corners. ? Definitely on the hardware, but will it affect the shooting experience and the effect of Sony Xpeia 5 V? The title already hints a little, and the double zoom and portrait mode actually perform very well.

In Sony’s positioning, the 5 series is not the cheap version of the 1 series, but the thin version. The thin awn means that it is easier to hold with one hand. Sony’s mobile phone, to be honest, is “photography-oriented”. As far as mobile phone photography is concerned, it is not easy to take pictures with a body that is too large. On the contrary, a thinner body can flexibly do different shooting tasks. This time, Sony Xperia 5 V adopts the same 21:9 ratio screen design as the previous generation. The screen size is 6.1 inches, the body size is 154x68x8.6mm, and the weight is only 183g. It is a veritable small-size flagship representative. Although some netizens will say that this design is very similar to a remote control, the body width of less than 70mm will make the phone look particularly easy to hold, and at the same time provide a very good one-handed operation experience, especially when it is used for shooting.
▲ The small body is easy to hold with one hand, making it easier to shoot.
▲ There is a dedicated shooting key.
▲ Sony Xperia 5 V has IP65/IP68 waterproof and dustproof capabilities. Although it is not recommended to soak it in water, it is indeed a lot more convenient for outdoor photography.
Camera performance supported by Exmor T large photosensitive element
Sony Xperia 5 V has the same main camera lens hardware as Xperia 1 V, using the latest Exmor T for mobile dual low-noise sensor, which is also the core of the flagship smartphone Xperia 1 V. This Exmor T for mobile itself uses Sony’s own Sony IMX888 mobile phone camera sensor. This is Sony’s high-end camera sense tester used in mobile phones. It uses a 1/1.35-inch large photosensitive element (I don’t know if it is a term used in mainland China, but many people use “big bottom” to describe it), with 50 million pixels. Both Sony Xperia 1 V and this Xperia 5 V use 4-in-1 synthesis, so that the camera module is actually shot with a large pixel of 2.44μm, which can improve the photosensitive performance and reduce noise in low-light environments. According to Sony’s official announcement, the Sony Xperia 5V can capture clear and high-definition images no matter day or night, indoors or outdoors.
As for the ultra-wide-angle lens, it is also 12 million pixels. Like the main lens, it supports autofocus, and the focusing speed of the two lenses of the main camera is very fast. Fast-moving small animals like cats are also capable, and the quality of the preview screen has improved compared to the previous generation. And this phone has another great feature, that is the video part, the two lenses of the main camera support up to 4K 120fps, and even the front lens video can reach 4K 60fps, the only pity is that the front lens does not support autofocus.
