I was reluctant to try this phone based on an earlier review as I live in an area with awful coverage regardless of the carrier. I figured worst case I could return the phone if it wasn't able to hold a signal. Well to my pleasant surprise, not only can it hold a signal but it does so with greater strength than any other phone I've had while living in this cellular dead zone, including various Samsungs and iPhones. It has yet to drop a single call. I'm also getting 5g connectivity though granted I had to disable the dual sim functionality to allow for it.
As for the rest of the phone's features, I think if you're considering even a Sony then you're already well aware of them. I mean, what other company offers a compact flagship with a notch/hole-punched free screen, expandable memory, easy rootability, and a 3.5mm audio jack? Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with the Xperia 5 V and I hope to enjoy it for years to come.
Was looking to replace my trusty XZ2 (and it had been working fine, but no updates anymore...). X 5 Mark V fit the requirements perfectly - capable camera, up-to-date chipset, expandable storage, screen without holes, HiRes music support - everything that I wanted. With my usage pattern - battery easily lasts 3, and sometimes 4 days. Call quality, responsiveness, nice screen - all are superb. Photo and video apps with tons of tweaks, and I do wonder if SONY could have offered a simpler set of those apps, but longer software support policy instead? Biggest gripe - why does it only have 8 GB RAM and not like X 1 Mark V? Second negative - short support policy span - look at Samsung or Google (I don't think 7 years are needed, but at least 3 Android versions and 4 years security updates ?). Not a huge problem for me, but for the price and high end specs, disappointing. I also would have preferred the ability to remove Facebook without resorting to rooting the phone, etc.
There are a few things to be aware of. This phone's 5G bands are not "friendly" with T-Mobile in the US. I travel quite a bit and I have yet to see it do 5G. Also, it doesn't do WiFi calling with T-Mobile which means you can't SMS message on airplanes. No WiFi 6 either. Other than all that, it's a great android phone with speed and excellent battery life.
Lo he usado por tres meses y se nota que es un teléfono de gama alta. Muy compacto, lo cual me gusta mucho. Se calienta mucho, es el único "pero que le pondría".
Funciona muy bien. Fue un buen upgrade del Xperia 10 iii. Funciona sin problema con telcel. Con El mismo uso que le daba al 10 iii la bateria de este me dura casi 2 dias
