I bought a second-hand Docomo (6gb+64gb) phone for $139.00 (Shopee), the camera is excellent and the video is good. But I had a problem because of the battery, 3140mah. There is no headphone jack and the fingerprint scanner sucks. It can last a day for me of regular use. The reason I bought this is because of the camera, compact and the stereo speaker. No major issues were found in a month of using this model.

    I just buy Sony Xperia 5 2 days ago, what I can say IMPRESSIVE phone!!!..... Far better than previous Sony, the camera is stunning, I love natural cool colour from the stock Camera... If you love natural photo, this is the most natural camera you can get... Not to mention it feels premium in the hand, no lag and awesome screen quality.... With this price you won't get any better.... Unless you buy fake or modified one or refurbished one, maybe it will not the same as original quality...

                I have had a lot of phones this year I live in a building with thick walls and this has been the only phone that I can pick up 4g from to use the internet fast. I had a iPhone 13 that failed to deliver 4g internet it would always pause when watching YouTube videos so did galaxy a40, Google pixel6 & iPhone 12. Only this Xperia 5 has the best 4g signal must be the Snapdragon 855 with its reliable and incredible connectivity.

                            Samurai X, 25 Jan 2022Just compared a few sample photographs taken with Xperia 1 and Xperia 5 and they have come out... moreBecause Xperia 5 use IMX563 while Xperia 1 use IMX445,

                            The sensors on both of them Are completely Different eventough the specs are similar, Xperia 1 sensor is Stacked CMOS, faster AF, 960fps Available while the Xperia 5 sensor is Regular Cmos, that's why the video capabilities in X5 is limited than X1, that's will answer your question why they are different, because the sensor is different too

                              King Cobra Achakzai, 21 Feb 2022Hi guys well I'm about to buy this phone sov41 It's 6gb and 64gb Japanese 🏯 model ... moreThe first thing, SOV41 is codename for local market, which means it is tied with an operator and locked (since only for japan market), just recheck if the phone is unlocked or not, if you buy it plain from bid site or japan local marketplace will get locked and can't use other simcard

                              So Mind the phone state first before purchase it! There is no easy way to unlock the locked phone

                                      Have used it for 2 years now, no case, no screen protection. Still works perfectly except sometimes the thumb fingerprint doesn't register with the first few tries. The outer corners of the shell are slightly dented due to several falls onto pavement. Somehow the screen and back are still just like new, the lack of need for case/screen protection is the main advantage of Xperia phones imo.

Much better than any Samsung 9,10,20, 21 (look at the latest 22 ultra test form GsmArena how crap photos delivers!) in every aspect, just maybe sometimes faster battery drain depending on what you do, and some zooming not quite there... But the smoothness and the ease of use in every area, just perfect!
