Excellent display; Versatile camera; Good battery life;
Awkward fingerprint scanner; Side Sense is temperamental; No case included;
Hot on the heels of the Xperia 1, the Xperia 5 is another strong flagship-level phone from Sony, this time offering a slightly better balance between top-end specifications and everyday practicality.

(Still) the best camera we’ve seen on a Sony phone; Sony design fairly distinctive; Balanced, attractive OLED display;
21:9 screen has its practical drawbacks; Camera good, but not among the best; Strong rivals at the same price;
Excellent display; Versatile camera; Good battery life;
Awkward fingerprint scanner; Side Sense is temperamental; No case included;
