Biggest mistake that I ever made while buying M5 Dual. Hell lot of problems from day 1. Within 1st 10 days I had to get the handset replaced as the initial one got dead. Had to write an email to the MD to get it done.
Now even the second one is giving lots of problems:
1. Stops reading the external SD Card.
2. Apps stop working on it's on or starts working even if you don't touch anything.
3. Auto shuts down every now and then, and then you would have to plug in the charger to switch it on.
4. Second microphone does not work - Means when put the phone on speaker mode the person on the other end cannot hear you.
5. Battery back-up extremely poor.
6. Over heating.
7. Camera stops working at times.
8. Hangs - then nothing works.
it's a nightmare...going to take this phone once again to the service centre and let's see what happens this time. I wish it they can take this phone back and give a better model .

Everything works fine, I just find the screen a bit small as I moved from a 6.8" phablet to a 5.0" phone.

Hopefully the news is true.

I don't understand how a company like Sony can manufacture and market such a horrible phone. I purchased a phone in Nov 2015. Within two days, I realised that the phone switches off on its own. Once given for repair, i got it back after around 15 days. Now I realise that the moment i switch on any application, the phone becomes too hot within no time. Please avoid purchasing this model at any cost.

Anonymous, 06 Feb 2016m5 dual water proof?Oh no.... avoid this phone! ITS NOT WATERPROOF! Mine failed within a month without putting near water, it must have been condensation inside and died! Retailer (eGlobal of Hong Kong) will not honour warranty due to "Water Damage".
It also gets as hot as hell and shuts down by itself and can't be restarted unless plugged in to electricity supply! I suspect its the MTK Helio X10 processor. So $500 wasted! Will never buy anything with MTK processor again. I replaced the Sony with Oppo R7 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor... brilliant phone, and works like a dream!

Sent into sony repair centre in south africa, with the new battery the phone works perfectly however still waiting for the 5.1 update. So guys instead of downgrading rather ask for the new battery it took 8 working days to get mine back.

Roguette, 05 Feb 2016Did upgrading to lollipop5.1 fix?No, it did not. After the 5.1 update I can say:
- literally fked up my signaling. After 5.1 upgrade instead of 4 or 5 bars (max) it shows 1 or 2 bars of signal strength in the middle of the city (Cph, Denmark), but more likely no signal
- Battery still goes down pretty fast after 15 %
