They not only replicate the taste of Sony cameras, but also use their own sensors, which can be better adjusted and controlled. Therefore, Sony mobile phones It is also very popular among fans.
Sony’s Xperia series is a small-sized, high-performance mobile phone focusing on video entertainment. The Xperia 5 V, which was launched not long ago, is equipped with the new Exmor TCMOS, coupled with a new native editing APP and a large-capacity battery, it provides quite excellent For audio and video experience, today we will experience this lightweight and small flagship phone from Sony.
Distinctive appearance design
As the functions of mobile phones become more and more abundant, more and more components and equipment are required, which also makes many flagship mobile phones larger in size. Even some extra-large mobile phones cannot even be operated by boys with one hand, while medium-cup or Although small-cup mobile phones can be held with one hand in terms of size, their functions are also reduced compared to flagship mobile phones, which makes many users have difficulties when purchasing.
Friends who are familiar with the Xperia series know that this series has always been slim in appearance. Xperia 5 V naturally continues this consistent design language. The body width is only 68mm and the weight is only 183g. The lightweight body can relieve the pressure on the little finger. . In actual daily use, whether you are watching videos, browsing information or answering calls casually, it is very easy to hold with one hand, without the sense of fragmentation of foreign objects, and the grip fits the palm of your hand better, which is undoubtedly more friendly to girls with smaller hands.
The back of the fuselage is made of frosted glass, which feels textured when touched and is not easily contaminated by dust and fingerprints. The surrounding frames adopt a more square right-angled design, which not only improves the overall recognition of the phone, but also visually makes the phone thinner and lighter, and makes it more comfortable to hold.
In terms of details, the top of the fuselage retains the 3.5mm headphone jack, semi-hidden earpiece and front lens. The 3.5mm headphone jack can now only be seen on some thousand-yuan phones, but Sony still retains it on flagship models to meet the needs of users who need a better sound quality experience or low latency for games.
There is a Type-C interface and a pin-free SIM card slot at the bottom. This SIM card slot that can be directly extracted is very convenient, and it comes out with just a simple pull.
There are only two lenses on the camera module of the Xperia 5 V. For the 24mm wide-angle camera, Sony uses the 1/1.35-inch Exmor T for mobile CMOS that was first introduced in the Xperia 1 V. The effective pixels are 48 million, so on this phone It will output 12 million 2x magnified photos through cropping.
The front uses a 6.1-inch 21:9 FHD+OLED screen, IP65/68 waterproof and dustproof, and double-sided Corning Gorilla Victus glass. It has a very familiar slim, narrow and long feel.
The dual speakers of the Xperia 5 V are slightly different from the design of other mobile phones. They are set at the seam between the screen and the frame. This design facing the user can bring a better sense of sound balance and space.
Overall, the Xperia 5 V has very distinct brand characteristics in terms of appearance design. Sony’s “own way” design language is enough to give people a refreshing experience at a time when mobile phone homogeneity is becoming increasingly serious. At the same time, its positioning as a thin, fashionable and small-screen flagship is also very suitable for users who do not follow the crowd and pursue appearance.
A “so”-flavored imaging experience
Nowadays, young people like to use mobile phones to record their lives. In addition to taking pictures and recording videos, they also like to edit Vlogs and share them. Therefore, in addition to small-screen mobile phones that are easier to operate, powerful imaging functions are what they value more.
Sony has understood the psychology of young people, and this time the positioning of Xperia 5 V is very precise – a small-sized and high-performance Vlog mobile phone. The rear lens uses an Exmor T mobile image sensor, which has improved pixel noise reduction by 2 times. This generation of Exmor T mobile image sensor uses brand-new technology, specifically an innovative double-layer transistor pixel structure. The first layer It is a photodiode, and the second layer is a pixel transistor, which allows the first layer of photodiode to capture more light and reduce image noise. Compared with the previous generation, the dark light noise reduction is improved by 2 times.
The rear main camera is a 1/1.35-inch Exmor T for mobile sensor with 12 million pixels. The actual effective pixels are 48 million. The main camera lens supports 24mm focal length and 48mm focal length, which is what we usually call 1x and 2x. focal length. The secondary camera is a 12-megapixel 1/2.5-inch Exmor RS for mobile sensor, which supports a 16mm focal length and is a small-sized wide-angle lens. The front is a 12-megapixel small wide-angle lens, mainly used for shooting Vlog videos. It supports HDR and simulated 5-axis anti-shake technology, but 5-axis anti-shake can only be used in master mode.
Nowadays, in addition to the main camera and wide-angle, the rear lenses of many brands of flagship mobile phones usually have a telephoto lens. However, the Xperia 5 V can zoom directly on the main camera because the bottom of the main camera sensor of the mobile phone is the largest among all lenses. , so the zoom effect will be better than that produced by a separate small-bottom telephoto lens. The main camera of a common flagship mobile phone does not support zoom but has optical image stabilization. A separate telephoto lens also supports optical image stabilization. The Xperia 5 V’s main camera supports zoom operation, which not only saves the position of a lens, but also reduces the need for optical image stabilization. Shaking components.
Although the main camera of the Xperia 5 V only supports a maximum of 2X optical zoom, for a mobile phone positioned for vlog shooting, which mainly records the life details of people in different scenes, the 2X focal length can already meet the needs of most scenes. , and the quick zoom operation of tapping the screen allows us to capture more exciting pictures.

The bokeh mode of the Xperia 5 V is quite practical. The above picture shows the bokeh mode without turning it on, and the picture below with the bokeh mode turned on. It can be seen that when taking photos that highlight the subject, a more natural and beautiful bokeh effect can be obtained, making the picture more beautiful. Layering.
In addition, Xperia 5 V also provides a variety of different styles of filters. You can choose different tones according to different scenes to express different atmospheres and emotions. This is also a preference of young people nowadays when taking photos.
The reason why the Xperia series is loved by fans is that, in addition to its focusing advantage, it also supports 4K 120Hz video recording. This feature is also uncommon on flagship phones. Although for ordinary users, 1080P may be usable, and 40/60fps may not be usable, but for video creators, 4K/120fps videos can have more space for post-editing, especially now short-format videos. The popularity of videos remains high, and more ordinary people are joining the short video creation industry to come up with a hit video that attracts traffic. In addition to the video content and subject matter, it also requires more detailed post-editing, so the specifications of 4K/120fps must be is useful.
Video editing more in line with Xperia
In order to be more in line with its positioning, Xperia 5 V has clearly arranged everything for you from early shooting to post-editing. The Video Quick Cut APP is a native Video Creator software for Xperia 5 V. It allows us to quickly select clips and automatically generate videos according to the preset duration without even having to edit them manually. It is quite convenient.
Xperia 5 V supports filter selection when taking photos and videos. If you don’t add filters in the early shooting, you can also add them in later editing. The Video Cutting APP also supports these filter selections. If you want to be different The colors can be directly applied to different creative looks.
Friends who have used other video editing software may have encountered freezes or crashes when editing 4K and 120fps videos. This is due to the poor compatibility between the video and third-party software. This situation does not exist with the Video Cutting APP. It can easily process 4K and 120fps videos, generate a short video of up to 4K/60fps, and then share it on major social platforms.
Audio and video entertainment is no problem
Sony’s products have always been committed to creating better audio-visual entertainment, and Xperia 5 V is naturally not inferior. This 6.1-inch OLED screen has FHD+ resolution and a high refresh rate of 120 Hz. Whether you are watching dramas or watching videos on a daily basis, you can get a visually satisfying viewing experience. At the same time, the ultra-bright display that supports real-time HDR can be adjusted according to the environment. Even when used outdoors or indoors with strong lighting, Xperia 5 V can always provide excellent picture quality performance.
Of course, high-quality audio-visual experience is also Sony’s specialty. In terms of hardware, Xperia 5 V uses dual speakers on the front to improve the vertical and horizontal sound effects. Compared with the previous generation product, it can provide larger volume, clearer sound quality, better dynamics, and more effectively reduce the noise floor.
Since it is an entertainment phone, battery life is also the focus of our consideration. Xperia 5 V has a built-in 5000mAh battery, which can be used by ordinary users for a day. If you are a user who wants to shoot videos and watch movies, don’t worry.

write at the end
I have used many mobile phones, and SonyXperia 5 V can be said to be a mobile phone with a different positioning. Others are pursuing large-screen images, but it insists on a small-screen experience. Others hope to be closer to the camera in terms of images, but he Looking for other ways to record and share in a timely manner, it can be seen that Sony has always adhered to its product philosophy. After all, in terms of professional imaging systems, the name “Dafa” is not for nothing. I have to say that this is a “maverick” flagship phone. Maybe it is not your cup of tea, but for Soo fans, this one is full of “Sou” flavor, compact and easy to operate, and also has professional image performance. Xperia 5 V must be the best choice.
