Sony Xperia 5 unboxing: a compact 21:9 flagship! By Mobile Tech Podcast

Hey folks welcome to another day another unboxing. This is the Sony Xperia v. It's the compact version, the smaller version of Sony's Xperia 1, so pretty much the same specs in every other way. Here's the box. It's got Xperia v on an experience, I've Sony, some high means over here, Xperia v, more experienced some information that might be useful bottom line is that you know Sony's for a long time made really nice compact phones and this one is no exception. This is kind of exciting because you don't often see compact high quality flagship phones.

These days I mean the pixel, for is one of the few. It's a pretty small to the LG G 8. So, as you can see, this box is a pretty wall on there. Here's the box here is the phone 21 to 9 aspect ratios. So pretty long and skinny 4G don't have my experience have a look at this in a minute.

It is a smaller display this year, so we're looking at a 6.1 inch display instead of a 6.5 inch display, which is actually quite a bit of a difference, if you think about it anyway. So there are some instructions here, let's get these out. We got safety guidelines, important information, blah blah blah. Who cares about that? We got a start-up guide, Xperia v we've got important information in Spanish and in English, as if we needed more than that right. Let's have a look at this, so this could be interesting, so we've got some diagrams I see.

This is actually like lots check it out Xperia v. This is how you put the SIM or the micro SD card in no tells you everything here. You know power button, all that good stuff, here's how to change a volume interesting that they did. This showed you this layout with our landscape. Anyway, that's there's a bunch of fine print in the back.

That's the instructions! Let's have a look at what else is in the box is a divider here and, of course, a charger. This is a USB type-c PD charger. As you can see right here, it says 18 watt, so that's kind of nice that we don't have to look at all the fine print to get the details same charger as the Xperia one. Then we have a USB type-c to type-c cable here, I presume yep, see on this and see on this end. So that's for the charger.

Then we have a type C, a headphone adapter, so 3.5 millimeter to type C, because this does not have a headphone, jacks and I said they put one in there and then finally, we have earbuds, and this is it basically exactly the same accessories that came with the Xperia one. This used earbuds are 3.5 millimeter, so you can use them with the adapter, and you can use them on other devices, which is a really nice little interesting way to do it. So that's it folks in terms of the box and the phone now, let's have a look at it together, so there we are. Let me pull it out of its little baggie here. You can actually see there are some instructions on how to put the SIM card in and stuff, and let me actually peel the'm a sticker.

That's in the back here, because we want to take care of that. There's actually two stickers here, it's one and then there is another one right here. That's the one we want to remove, and I think we're good. Now, taxa, look at how shiny it is. You know, I have the black exterior on, and this is pretty much the same deal very, very shiny, very hard to focus on very reflective.

You notice immediately that compared to the exterior one, the camera part is on the left side, not centered in the middle, like the other Xperia Wan was so there's also a screen protector, I'm going to remove it. Are you ready? Oh, it's not making any sound. So that's another thing and then yeah so 6.1 inch instead of 6.5 1080p instead of quad HD, that's obviously a big diff. It's got very small top and bottom bezels 21 by 9 aspect ratio. Let me turn that on really quickly, and then we'll go from there.

It vibrated. So this is a really nice balance. It's got HDR ten and a bunch of other stuff, so yeah. As you can see, this is basically that the extender the bottom and top chins here, while it's booting, let me show you the back again, so you get the same triple camera setup I like that they have the NFC logo on here, 312 megapixel cameras with a flash and some sensors. We've got an F 1.6 main camera for normal shots with is 1.4 microns, and then we have an ultra-wide, that's F over 2.4 12, megapixels or 1 micron pixels, and then we have an F over 2.4 telephoto and that's a 2 x optical zoom telephoto, and it has 1 micron pixels as well, so the same exact camera setup as we saw in the Xperia 1. The big difference is the size of the battery in the side of the display.

Note that the telephoto and the main camera is, which is a big, exciting thing that every phone should have. So you know on paper those specs for this phone are pretty awesome in terms of imaging and the experiment did deliver. If you like, the aspect ratio, it's a pretty great phone in terms of feeling Han, and this is just a smaller, more delightful version of that experience. Here's the welcome screen you can see. This is a really high quality OLED panel, unlike many phones with OLED displays.

This does not have an in display fingerprint sensor. Instead, they went for a dedicated side, fingerprint sensor, and it's separate from the power/lock key, which takes a little of getting used to because a lot of phones have it as a power lock key as well. I like the honor phones and some experience. There is a volume rocker right above that, as you can see, so that's pretty much the right side of the phone. Oh I forgot, there's also a dedicated camera shutter key, which also exists on the Xperia I want keep.14 Sony keeps doing that which is pretty awesome. On the left hand, side you have the SIM slot, which is donen't need any tools for that.

You just stick your fingernail under here, and you can open this up and get everything in and out of here very cool on the bottom. You have a USB type-c port, some sort of speaker grille, and we have a primer microphone on top. We have a secondary microphone as you can see, and that's pretty much it. So that's, basically the layout of this phone very simple, very straightforward, very effective. So in terms of specs, this hasn't really changed too much from the Xperia one.

We've got a snapdragon 855 six gigs of ram 128 gigs of storage, micros expansion, as you saw earlier, that hasn't really changed too much, and then we have of course, a smaller battery right. The battery is 3100 and 40 mill, amp hours, and you're going to say well, that's pretty small, but here's the kicker, the Experian one had a 3300 William hour battery in a much larger chassis, so you're actually not getting much worse of a deal. You get a smaller display that has less resolution to drive, and I think battery life. This might actually be better than the Xperia one, because Experian one should really have had something like a 3,800 William hour battery, but 3300 really wasn't good enough. So this is cool because we now have this phone with a pretty decent sized battery, and a shred compact chassis, which you know is, is pretty awesome technically.

The Xperia one battery is thirty 330 million power battery, but you know who's counting, so we have also the same eight megapixel front-facing camera. Your piece is here: this makes a stereo pair with the bottom speaker. You know pretty much what you expect from a modern flash. The thing that's great about this phone, though it is a lot more affordable than the Xperia one. Was he experiment with $949 this phone $799? So at $7.99? You know it's much easier to recommend this phone, many Xperia One. So that's it folks.
