Regardless of whether this phone is 'compact' or not, it is absolutely gorgeous. I'm really considering buying it.

bybyx, 06 Sep 2019Hi, it's good to see Sony bringing another phone. Regarding the battery, when in God's name 31... more4000mAh battery is standard now. So, 3100mAh is very very very small.

Does the Xperia 5 supports dual apps like Facebook, whats app, Twitter etc and also does the battery get hotter after playing videos on YouTube when it say that due to high temperatures videos can’t be played.

NipponFan, 06 Sep 2019Battery : average Screen : downgrade from Xperia 1 Size: too big, not compact at all Wher... moreXperia 5 replaces XZ2.

XZ2c does not have replacement because they decided to kill the series.
Number of people that look for small phones have decreased.

R&D to create small phone is higher because you need to find way to give it same stuff of big phone. Much harder to create.

NipponFan, 06 Sep 2019Battery : average Screen : downgrade from Xperia 1 Size: too big, not compact at all Wher... moreSony has a disastrous naming scheme! They are constantly changing it, and I can say this is the worst one, because it is not clear at all. A few years ago we had the Xperia Z, and Z Premium, after that the XZ, and XZ Premium, not we only have numbers yet we do not really understand what is going on.

Too late for me; replaced my X Compact (that old) just over a month ago with a Pixel 3a, as there was no indication of a smaller phone coming out from Sony at the time. I also rejected the Galaxy S10e due to the silly location of the thumbprint sensor.
