Japanese manufacturers are not far behind the modern market. The mass of new products from Sony pleases fans. One such interesting model is the representative of the Xperia series called M5.
Design
The appearance of the device imitates even in small details its predecessor M4. Actually, it will be simply impossible to distinguish a fellow from the M5. This is not to say that such a decision is bad, because the appearance of the Xperia M5 smartphone was attractive.
Plastic and metal in the body of the device give solidity. And given that the device is waterproof, there is no doubt about the quality of the assembly. The company has used materials as efficiently as possible, so the phone looks expensive.
Front of the device is a display, camera, ear and main speakers, sensors and a company sign. The usual touch buttons are on the display. The rear panel, covered with glass, has got a camera, a company logo and a flash. The top end housed the headphone jack, and the bottom - USB jack and microphone. On the right side is the shutter release, volume control and power button. The opposite side was taken away for the cells of the flash drive and the SIM card.
The device only accepts nanoSim. There are two variations of the device: with one SIM card and with two.
In general, the smartphone turned out to be stylish, although with a previously implemented design. It is somewhat disappointing to use cheaper materials, but most likely the strength was not affected by this.
Screen
Equipped with a 5-inch phone. The resolution of 1920 by 1080, installed in the Sony Xperia M5, will also please. The review of the advantages of the screen does not end there. In addition to using an IPS matrix, the company has applied its own Mobile BRAVIA technology. The development of the company made it possible to make the screen more saturated and bright.
The display is much better than its predecessor. If pixels were noticeable in M4, then in M5 as much as 441 ppi, and, accordingly, graininess is not observed. The applied IPS matrix provides excellent viewing angles for the Xperia M5. Owner reviews report the only drawback, namely, not the best behavior of the display in the sun.
Camera
It is impossible to ignore the main advantage of the Xperia M5. The camera review should start by mentioning a whopping 21.5 MP. Although this parameter has always been a strong point of Sony. The smartphone camera has an Exmor RS sensor, which the company uses quite often.
The front-end of the device does not lag behind in quality. Made using similar technologies as the main one, the front camera has 13 megapixels. In addition to good resolution, the device has a lot of shooting modes and usefulfunctions.
Separately, I would like to note the recording of the video. The smartphone has an incredible 4K resolution. This characteristic allows the device to compete in filming quality even with video cameras.
Filling
Equipped with a premium MTK chipset named Helio X10. The phone has eight cores running on a 64-bit platform at 2.2 GHz each. The video accelerator is also installed quite well, namely the Power VR G6200.
RAM will also please users of Xperia M5. The review indicates the presence of as much as 3 GB. Actually, the filling allows the device to cope with all tasks without any problems.
Native memory of 16 GB did not disappoint either. Of course, about 13 GB will be available, the rest is occupied by the system. You can expand the memory up to 200 GB.
The smartphone works very quickly and without braking. In addition to speed, minor flaws present in M4 have been fixed.
Battery
A significant problem is the battery of the Xperia M5, a review of which will be of interest to all potential buyers. The battery capacity of only 2600 maH does not cause much enthusiasm. In principle, this is the minimum capacity for such a filling. The problem is that the battery is non-removable and it will not work to expand the capacity. All hope is in Stamina's battery-saving technology.
System
M5 works on the basis of "Android" of the new version 5.0. The design of the company also migrated to the new system. AppearanceThe system has undergone almost imperceptible changes, but in general has remained familiar. There will be no need for updates, because the device comes immediately with version 5.0.
Price
The cost of the device will somewhat cool the ardor of those who want to buy the Xperia M5. The market review makes it clear that the price of the device is hovering around $400. It is significantly more expensive than its predecessor, but the smartphone is definitely worth the money.
Positives
The device has a huge number of advantages. Just want to highlight one of the best cameras among mobile devices. The quality is so good that a smartphone can replace average cameras and camcorders.
They did not deprive the device of the stuffing. Such hardware is quite capable of competing with many flagships. Although the phone is located in the middle category, all parameters bring it closer to the premium class.
Excellent display will also please the owners. Rich colors and high resolution are not only suitable for entertainment, but also for comfortable work.
Despite the use of inexpensive materials, the build quality and protection of the device turned out to be solid. In fact, the M5 is not inferior in this respect to its predecessor.
Negatives
There are far fewer shortcomings, in principle, you can not even notice them.
The most painful part of the device is its battery. Of course, the saving technology will significantly increase the duration of the work, but I want more capacity.
The appearance of the Sony Xperia M5 is of two minds. Reviewssome owners are full of dissatisfaction with the similarity of the design with a number of models.
Result
Japanese manufacturers once again replenished their lineup with a successful novelty. The device turned out excellent and has almost no flaws. The only thing that can scare off a buyer is a high price.
