So, Sony has been reducing the zoom capabilities of the Xperia 5 for a couple of generations now and it&#8217;s become all digital this year.  Why?  The Xperia 10 V also has a dedicated lens &#8211; the 8MP 2x module is absolutely nothing special, but the 5 series is meant to be a flagship.  It definitely has the price of one.<\/p><div id=\"forum-1167076561\" class=\"forum-content forum-entity-placement\">\t\t<div class=\"ad-wrapper\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:250px;text-align:center\">\r\n\t\t\t<!-- In Article Blog -->\r\n\t\t\t<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n\t\t\t\t style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3476569516614521\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-slot=\"9829044906\"><\/ins>\r\n\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t to demean the main camera, it offers amazing photo quality and the videos were up to par too.

The 6.1\u201d 21:9 OLED display with FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate still has very limited modes (you can choose 60Hz or 120Hz and that&#8217;s it).

The new model achieved a battery life of 130 hours (up from 116 hours) .  However, the enthusiasm for the new chip dies down a bit when you see that the base configuration remains with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage.  And thermal management was poor, leading to throttling.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1693741139_130_Weekly-poll-Does-the-Sony-Xperia-5-V-deserve-a.jpg\" alt=\"Weekly poll: Does the Sony Xperia 5 V deserve a place in your pocket?\"><\/p>\n<p>What has Sony been doing all year?  Well, it turns out the Video Creator app can automatically edit several videos into one ready to post to social media.  And there&#8217;s an improved Bokeh mode (especially in low light), plus a Bokeh mode for the selfie camera too.  Snark aside, the Mark 5 is a solid high-end phone, but so was the Mark 4 last year\u2014the 2022 models had its flaws, and only some of them were fixed this year.<\/p>\n<p>The Sony Xperia 5 V measures 154 x 68 x 8.6 mm and weighs 183 g.  For reference, a Galaxy S23 measures 146.3 x 70.9 x 7.6 mm and 168 g, a Zenfone 10 is 146.5 x 68.1 x 9.4 mm and 172 g and iPhone 14 Pro is 147.5 x 71.5 x 7.9 mm and 206 g.<\/p>\n<p class=\"image-row clearfix\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" height=\"184\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy S23\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1693741139_837_Weekly-poll-Does-the-Sony-Xperia-5-V-deserve-a.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" height=\"184\" alt=\"Asus Zenfone 10\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1693741139_216_Weekly-poll-Does-the-Sony-Xperia-5-V-deserve-a.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" height=\"184\" alt=\"Apple iPhone 14 Pro\" src=\"https:\/\/forum.sbenny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1693741140_824_Weekly-poll-Does-the-Sony-Xperia-5-V-deserve-a.jpg\"><br \/>\n<br \/><span><strong>Samsung Galaxy S23 \u2022 Asus Zenfone 10 \u2022 Apple iPhone 14 Pro<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Xperia 5 was never a Compact, but it stood out with its tall screen and great camera, plus goodies like a 3.5mm jack and a microSD slot.
