Sony Xperia C5 Ultra - User Reviews

  • how to reprogram this

  • hi guys can i have a feedback? regarding with this phone is there any prob for the system on this xperia phone etc?... thank you

  • You must reset the xperia

  • why is it i cannot update may xperia?

  • You must have change the DPI setting on the dev opt.. . Genius! Lol

  • Install new ROM. You can find it in xda-developers site

  • i have problem with my sony c5 ultra..the screen is blank and system ui stopped..please help me how to solve it..

  • its the best phone ever

  • But not with mhl function.

  • 4g moble is this

  • next update for sony c5 ultra?

  • The worst phone i've ever used and especially the battery is worst.Never used such a phone till now and now its starting ghost touch...the charge will be 90 and within 5 minute the charge will be 1%.... The Worst EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD

  • Same here. My wife have been using her c5 for 3 years now. No problems whatsoever. Though we will be upgrading soon, still she doesn't want to let go of her c5, will be keeping it as a back up fone.

  • Sony was brand name. Nowadays they are not giving product as per their brand name. I have same problem for my mobile c5 ultra,and t.v , motherboard. Even i have list of my relatives with same issue.

  • Yes

  • Ask of that authorized service in your location

  • where can i buy mother board ? and how much ?

  • Used only exactly 2 years and no spare parts (Motherboard and battery) for replacement. Useless redundant phone. Never buy Sony phone again.

  • only one year and half after i buy this mobile but its not working now i bought it brand new

  • Is it 4g supported

  • Easy to say than buying the Z series.

  • After the latest update for Sony C5 Ultra Dual the response has become slow for the mobile. I hate the update. I reseted the mobile also, not able to repair the software using the companion. Worst experience. It freezes all of a sudden. Regret buying this mobile n updating it.

  • With Xperia Companion app for Windows andcMac

  • Glich on c5 touchscreen caused by poor charger, i change my charger that better and have bigger ampere than c5 stock charger.... And the touchscreen glich on my c5 never happen again...

  • Battery backup

  • Same here, out of the blue bricked within a year or so

  • It worked fine at the beginning, good cameras... but bricked within a year of normal/average usage (no rooted)

  • I mean, you're using a mobile released in 2015 with 2GB RAM only, it's 2017 now so it should't be a perfect phone for you. If you want an old phone but never freezes, Z5 Premium please.

  • Always causing some problems, freezes all the time and problem with booting up no wonder they took it off in the market as quickly as they sell it.. very bad phone will switch back too apple as soon as Iphone 8 hits the market.

  • If you try it Sony xa ultra. That is superb mobile thanks.

  • If you try it Sony xa ultra. That is superb mobile thanks.

  • its two years almost. No problem, no worries except only you are always worried whether sony will continue to provide service or not because the product is taken out of market already.

  • yes u can

  • Yes battery drains fast that's the only problem.n my sony

  • Can jio sim be used in this phone

  • I have same to same problem

  • yow..did you say power problem? like after u restart it will not open or start? or after you shut down then it wont open? is that your problems????? you know what i get the drill..if your phone wont open when starting..simple open the sim card socket..or either press the sim card sofly untill it open... I thought at first that it has power button issues..but the thing is the sim card socket mostly is responsible....but generaly this phone is good especilay in camera and batery

  • After using 15th month sony c5 ultra dual now my front flash is not working Guys any suggestion..... Pls reply Thankz

  • No no no to this phone. I bought it in Feb 2016, already sent it for repair for 3 times since then due to power up problem. 1st time (in Dec 2016)....2nd time in Feb 2017 replaced motherboard. In Mar 2017.....similar power up problem....still in workshop for repair :(

  • hi moses. You said that your c5 has a couple of issues. Any luck fixing them? Have you updated your phone and if so, do the problems still persist?

  • Try this one. Its so nice:

  • Amazing phone, camera performance vry gd..

  • What would be the perfect luncher for Sony C5. please help.

  • Reinstall the software using Sony Xperia Companion in your PC..create backup before reinstalling. Your device will work normally. This issue can happen in any brand when you upgrade to new software.

  • Sony Xperia c5 , very worse feed back i have. it was just 10 months i bought. its all dead phone .never recommended to purchase. even its in a warranty period but i bought from India so no sony service centre taking warranty . i will never buy sony again

  • Sony Xperia C5 is a beautiful phone. I am using since December 2015. It is working perfectly alright. There may be fake products selling in the name of genuine companies. My sincere advice is please buy genuine products only. You should have to have minimum knowledge about the device before you upgrade or install.

  • my c5 ultra stopped working after the marshmallow update. not even turning on or charging. can anyone help?

  • my c5 ultra stopped working after the marshmallow update. not even turning on or charging. can anyone help?

  • HI.did your phone start developing issues after or before you updated it? Have you updated to the latest software update version 29.2.B.0.129 and if so does it have the same problems?

  • Hi dear. U must setting up in the option. front camera setting to hdr on and softskin effect on it. Try take a picture and see the result

  • How can? The cpu is not same. Think before compared device.

  • You are right. Order from lazada is the best. And original. I think they bought fake sony haha

  • Not your phone problem but user. Dont know to care about phone will be lagging. Haha. You are funniest guy ever.

  • Hahaha u are wrong. Mine is good at all. Sensitive touch.. I think u phone is fake.

  • Yes, I'm 100% agree with you... My Sony Xperia C5 Ultra is having the same problem, which is the touch screen is not sensitive at all. I often have to tap 3 or 4 times to response to my touch! I've already update the OS to Android 6.0 but the problem is still occur. The camera is also not good enough and it's slow to capture! Overall, I think Sony Xperia C5 Ultra is a failure product! 👎

  • I bought this xperia c5 ultra a few months ago.At first it was amazing until it became slow on messaging,cant update software and recently it has started showing no network on both sim cards!!!what a waste of money...I will not buy another sony smartphone!!

  • is this phone really worth it???...or should I go for z3+?

  • Nope. Not at all

  • Not true. Update with high speed of internet. Mine is no problem.

  • I suggest u use AC charger thah out put is 5volt 3.1A

  • Mine is no problem. Because i ordered my sony from lazada. :D.my sony is running smoothly on android 6.0.. I think you charger you phone with many charger. I suggest u. Dont use. Low quality of charger. Its can effect you battery volt. And make you phone crazy on touch. Sorr for my english. Haha.

  • I have owned the C5 Ultra for about a year. Over all I am disappointed with the phone for one huge reason. The touch screen on the C5 Ultra is glitchy. I have googled the issue and found MANY users wth the same problem...and no real solution. When using the phone I sometimes have to touch the screen 3 or 4 times to get it to respond. The problem seems worse on the right side of the screen. It is INSANELY frustrating. I recently updated to Marshmallow and it did not fix the issue. The work around is to enable GLOVE MODE. This fixes the issue in that you only have to touch the screen once to get it to respond...however, it ends up causing the screen to respond to ANY kind of touch...so if it is in your pocket and your screen pops on due to a text or alert, you end up "touching" the screen in your pocket a million times which causes the phone to crazy to the point of locking up. So you must decide which is the lesser of the two evils. Ridiculous...and an absolute deal breaker. My iPhone 4 (seven years old now) has a monumentally better touch screen. Shame on Sony...I expected more. I will not buy another Sony smartphone.

  • Worst battery 🔋 backup ever

  • How to update marshmallow c5

  • I fixed this by formatting my xperia. Also format my sd card.. Better backup all your data.. Including your apps..

  • Is it safe to update my C5 Ultra Dual to marshmallow? I read on forum that some facing front camera and wifi not working after an update. Is it true?

  • Im still facing the issue about automatic unmounting sd card.. I reset my phone and still it keeps my sd card unmounting. What shall i do with this issue on my c5 ultra...

  • F1s

  • c5 ultra

  • My Sony C5 is still in lollipop, I can't update to marshmallow. I need helo

  • sony C5 or oppo F1s ?

  • Video I mean youtube and something like that, I don't watch movies from smartphone memory, I did not need until now that, but I have some of them :)

  • I have dual version, draining very fast after wifi use, games and video watch with wifi :) 4G draining fast too, but coz I have wifi, i'm using 4G only in city and very little, coz I don't need often to use, but draining enough 4G :) But I think all smartphone draining +- the same, but yes C5 Ultra (Dual too) battery is not plus :)

  • The phone is amazing. The only problem is the battery

  • How about on screen time....watching videos , clicking pictures, and 4g with dual sim usage....does it last more than a day ?

  • i have the t2 ultra i like sony products they update well. Now between the 2 phones the one problem i had with it is one gig of ram . the thing would make you delete apps cuz your ram is maxed, the c5 ultra has double i would expect this to help out alot plus it has otg support and 6.0 which allows you to save apps to the sd card. my other half still uses the t2 ultra. though ive moved on to the samsung s6 edge plus.

  • got the same problem dude..

  • i was just worried for teh battery....some say the c5 ultra battery is half of t2 ultra. even Gsm arena endurance rating says....c5 ultra 7 hours, while t2 ultra 12 hours endurance rating ! ?

  • I have used both phones. C5 is better than t2 ultra. Battery back is good. Camera is superb. No problem at all. Such a wonderful device.

  • better to go with C5 camera is gud and T2 front camera is VGA 1.2

  • Has the marshmallow update doubled the battery life for c5 ultra ? like does it last more than 1 day ? Is it equal to 3000 mah battries nowadays like t2 ultra ?

  • Guys please help me choose between T2 ultra and c5 ultra ? Both are last stocks remaining and i want to buy one ! What i need is good battery and camera

  • I got no charging problems with the new update BUT I can no longer see my internal and external storage on my computer. Someone who experienced the same?

  • hey if you have used both phones can you tell me which one is better. What i need is : Good Camera Good battery. These two are the most important things pick one....t2 or c5 ?

  • Do an immediate factory reset

  • Guy's don't worry sony will fix this problem in next update...i also face this problem but my battery backup is excellent after upgrading marshmallow so guys don't worry...

  • OMG... Same thing happen to my camera. Sad not knowing it earlier. I'm really not satisfied. Rather stick to L than upgrade to M. Hope Sony do something about this.

  • Ya... I face the same problem too.. It unmount sd card itself.. If reset phone, should i leave the sd card intact or remove it? Or no need to bother since it know how to unmound itself?

  • Well, 3 days since I upgraded to 29.2.A.0.129 I am amazed by battery consumption. 1% on standby mode for four hours, surely doze is kickin right. Phone got alot faster but I don't know if it's just because the fact that I factory reset it as I upgraded. No issues for me about unmounting SD card. But I must admit I have faced some (but tolerable) issues. But all in all this is a must have update, pretty sure they'll push another patches soon to flatten remaining bugs. ✔

  • pls help how can i turn back the old version android of my c5 ultra ? the marshmallow android makes my camera poor and i hate it ! how can i fixed it pls help .

  • its the worst phone i have seen plzzz avoid if ur trying to get it im facing the touch problem and i have seen other phones they r same.no action if we going to service center

  • dude, marshmallow in this phone is great.. just make sure to wipe the 'cache partition' in recovery mode before you proceed with the update so that you will not encounter any problems with the new firmware.

  • Been checking software update on my phone, still none. I think the Ultra C5 Dual has the update available.

  • Update already available

  • No it doesn't. It only happens when you left the phone overcharged or using a charger that has higher voltage than 5V. Although 3.2 amps is indeed an overkill. I recommend using only 2 amps max.

  • Can this be upgraded to Marshmallow?

  • Do not buy this phone. One year since sony promised they will update Android 6 for this device but now is no signal of this. Then we trusted them but they do not care us. I am planning to resell this phone to buy new one of another manufacture. Never say Sony again.

  • We have this phone c5 ultra the battery drains fast and charging time is about 4hrs. It really has heating issues. Aside from what I mentioned above the phone is good. Battery poor performance really upsets me. Sorry I can't recommend this phone.

  • Why my SD Card is always damage. i already change my SD Card @ Sony Store. after an hour it will damage again and cant format it.

  • Only battery capacity is the problem, otherwsie good one I am using since last year, It has andriod 6.0 update eligible (please refer sony site).

  • Snapdragon

  • 1.Battery backup is especially very poor 2.screen resolution is also poor 3.heating problem occurs while playing asphalt8&MC5 4.C4 have an marshmallow update but C5 doesn't have I Strongly recommend you not to buy this phone

  • M5..is..better then this.

  • first you training how to used a mobile phone,after that you can used a mobile phone, this is world bast selfie phone ever made ,

  • I've had mine for a year. It's life is 1 day only even if I am not using internet. I love the camera. Sometimes though photos when zoomed in are pixelated. Sad that it is not upgradeable to Marshmallow

  • I used this phone. its number one bad mobile company. it has many problem like as network IC,camera resulation,battery backup etc..anybody please don't buy this phone.

  • Wow!!!sony is owesome

  • This phone is superb, especially the camera! It doesn't drain easily.

  • Are you sure?!?!?!?! LIAR!!! Ahahahahahaha =D Got mine and the camera is awesome front and back! It only takes 2 hours and a half of charging, the battery last a day even though I'm playing games and facebooking.

  • Nice lie bro This phone is superb except battery backup......it takes 3 hours 5 to 100%..... No hanging....world's best phone in selfie

  • screen usually lag but camera was really good

  • Oh god..i bought this mobile yesterday and it sucks. Battery takes 6 hours to charge and drain like hell. Camera is so poor loading and stucking. Touch is poor. Log in to internrt like is very poor. So much poor updates. Only thing can b appriciated is handfull mobile with 6 inches. Oh god..DO NOT BUY this snaildrive. So 😞

  • Snap dragon

  • Camera is super.. But software itself sucks.. Go for oppo F1 plus if your looking for selfie friendly cam with good software

  • I just bought this phone yesterday and was disappointed with the battery , it couldn't last for 15 hours even when I am not doing anything with it

  • i have buy this phone about 10 month ago. i did not face any problem.. camera quality is too good..i really appreciate this...

  • I have been using this phone for almost a month now. Apart from the 6" HD screen, everything else is BAD about this device. Let me list out the problems that I face. 1. Proximity sensor completely fails to work properly. It switches the display ON while we are attending a call and the touch screen gets activated. So in the background so many apps and features gets activated without you knowing about it. Send email to Sony Xperia Care, their reply was to type the code *#*#7378423#*#* goto service menu and try checking the proximity sensor. Trust me this doesn't help! 2. When I get incoming call, if the phone is in my pocket, it rejects the call with SMS before even I could grab it from my pocket. Did complete reset of phone. Nothing happened. Send another email to Xperia care and their response was ridiculous!!! they asked me to buy and use a flip case to solve this issue. 3. Battery is good but not great for a 6" phablet. You get juice for a days work. 4. Android 5.1 really sucks on this device and there is no news of any update scheduled for Marshmallow. I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS PHONE TO ANYONE!!!

  • Id been using this for 3mos. No issue.Excellent cam front and back.6" screen plays awesome for pics and videos. Go guyzzz. I highly recommend

  • Hello guys I'm planning to buy this phone coz of the camera!! Can you please post a few pics you took with the phone?? Thanks

  • Hi.. Can I ask if I can turn off my sony c5 for a long time? Like 2-3 months? Im going to pledge my phone because I badly need money. And the pawnshop needs to turn off the phone obviously. Is it gonna damage or what? Help me guys thank you.

  • Does this C5 Ultra still have that stock camera error - "error, camera not available" problem? I was thinking of buying this phone but this problem might prevent me from doing so. Is there anyway to fix this aside from returning to the store and replace it or worse, sending the phone to service repair centers and wait for such a long time?

  • Information on this phone was very interesting although C5 is too big for a phone, it won¨t fit in any of my pockets, just in case, I am 6 foot tall. I am not happy about this phone.

  • Has this been answered? had th same experience. On the left side, when you open it, there are 2 slots. An open one for the SD card. Then you will see another one, push it with a pin or your nails if you can, that's where you put your sim. If you've seen an iphone sim slot, looks that that. :D

  • everything about this phone is good. except the battery life well I guess it's reasonable.

  • Wow we dont know s7 is better u also breaking news

  • with regards to batt life, i think it is reasonable. I've tried standby mode and minimal in texting, just receiving call, it took two days. but with normal usage of text and call,non-continuous mobile browsing, it takes few hours longer than a day. thumbs up!

  • Huawei p8

  • Can someone please help me, sony c5 ultra, huawei p8, or samsung j7? Please answer me

  • I read lots of about Sony Xperia Z3 Plus and Z3. In every websait i read that these phones have big problem with option 4K on camera. Before days i wanted to bought Sony Xperia Z3 Plus but now i don't want. From seven months i have Iphone 6.This is perfect phone, for selfilovers and for everybody. Yes, it's fact that Iphones work with IOS. But for me that isn't problem. App store and Google play

  • C4 or C5 ultra is better?

  • It is also double the cost of the C5.

  • I'm planning on buying one, how is the battery life ?

  • Where you can buy...

  • Bought this two weeks ago. Nice phone! No regrets. Nice midranger phone...

  • This is a stupid question. Been using my phone through wifi only. Where can I put in the sim card? HAHA

  • I have used both smart phones...highly recommend c5 if u r a selfie lover...

  • It is amzing phone . With nice camera and screen it is wonderful i love it...love it....love it....love it......love it.....😘😘😘&a­mp;#128516;👍👌

  • Apple 7 with facetime

  • Good camera phone.just hope it also water resistant. My problem is updating it. Should i go to sony to update it on computer because i got wifi and its still updating wtf. If Samsung wants to update u just click update and boom with good wifi u already updated why this sony c5 keeps on updating too long any suggestions u can me guys?

  • Samsung s7 edge is much way better than c5.my opinion.

  • plz guyz Xperia c5 or Z3

  • Awesome phone! Very amazed with the screen especially in watching. HD effect! I just love it!

  • The problem is that you have poor connection not poor phone

  • Iphone is shit with big price. C5 Ultra by specification is better from all earlies iphones models until iphones 6, if i'm not wrong and price is lowest some times. IOS is worst than android. That's end of desicion. Iphone is just like paris hilton big price, but no enough brain :-)

  • I've had neve turn off screen lik mistake. All others, most, smartphone have Omni Balance frame, look like is C5 Ultra, so i hope u are wrong and Sony will not change this look of future smartphones. Which by the way winning in best design category or smartphones in Red Dots or others not first time. C5 Ultra also won. By the way u have smartphone, cell phone is simplie phone which u had a lot of year ago (i hope) :-)

  • wonderful cell phone , the only bad thing in power button very near to the volume button so , by mistake you turn screen off many time and this very boring i hope they adjust this design next version and make the keys separated by enough space

  • The iphone is better.

  • Absolutely beautiful phone.

  • Are you experiencing auto shutdown in this phone? And which is better? Xperia c5 or xperia m5?

  • c5 ultra with higher mega pixel for better sharpness and front facing flash

  • nice lie.i use j7 for 6 month and sell to buy c5 ultra.it's worth because the camera is better than j7,smooth,big screen for playing games,support sd card,got update 3 times with is improve alot.the cons is weak battery

  • j7 is better, i have both phones. j7 front and rear camera is better

  • I am planning to by a phone, which one will you recommend asus zenfone max or sony experia c5 ultra?

  • I Think Sony Xperia C5 Ultra better than galaxy J7

  • I bought this c5 and rear camera quality was a total disaster +not focusing, front camera is good. Gave it back to seller for repairing it.

  • I would like to buy a phone. But i'v been thinking which is better, samsung galaxy j7 or sony c5 ultra? Thanks

  • S dis sony c5 cn play nba2k16???

  • thanks for information team

  • Bt I listened frm the user of c5 ultra it will heat aftr the using of mobile is it crrct r nt ....

  • Yes it is!

  • I bought this phone as a companion to my aging Samsung Galaxy Note 3 neo duos. The neo has a more responsive touchscreen. C5 hangs frequently in heavy games where neo excels. Sadly, the only things that it beats my old neo is the big screen, the 64bit cpu and the camera. Snapdragon cpus are better than mediatek. neo is 2 years older than c5 yet offers more satisfying performance.

  • C5 takes better selfie than A8, you can take clear photos even in dark thanks to the front facing flash.

  • The same.

  • Obviously the dual has 2 two sim cards

  • dual has two slim card slot. :)

  • better don't buy m5....im having so much problem with m5,heating issue, phone auto shutdown and suddenly cannot turn on, unable to connect to mobile internet, it takes more than 1 month to repair, very bad service....but only one, sony's camera is great...but if u want to buy other sony phone, be prepare with some bad issues.... :)

  • I bought mine just this March, I didn't get issues from the start. I think you should check the settings or just have it replaced right away.

  • Sony xperia c5 ultra or sony xperia c5 ultra dual....wht dffrnc between them?? :( :( :(

  • I will definitely buy this. REY GORS

  • someone please help me, Sony C5 ultra dual or Samsung Galaxy Note 4? I needed your help, please... thank you

  • C5 is way better than M5

  • Which phone is better in taking selfies? Xperia c5 or galaxy a8?

  • I have this phone and now i am having issues with calls and text. Any sim that i insert to this phone here in phil. I dont get gsm. And i cannot send nor receive text msgs and calls. It only works on data and wifi

  • I receive the notification update and i dont update my phone for some reason. So that ota update is just a minor update not to update to mashmallow.

  • No. Youre wrong its not 3mp. Mine is clear and not pixelated. It okay.

  • no

  • it's available today.. here in the Philippines..

  • Redness of eye also known as the "red-eye effect," occurs when a camera captures light reflecting from the retina at the back of your subject's eye when a flash is used at night and in dim lighting. To get rid of it 1) you can edit your photo in Photoshop using 'red eye removal tool' 2) Tell your subjects to look slightly away from the camera lens 3) The darker the environment, the more dilated the subject's pupils become, which increases the likelihood of red-eye effects in photos. Making the room less dim by turning on more lights can help eliminate red eyes

  • when will be marshmallow update receive.?

  • when u take a picture close your eyes

  • No

  • Hi friends., is it water proof..?

  • When I take night photo then eye colour goes to red. Who can solve it...? Plz tell me....

  • Please what can one do to mitigate the battery issue Sony C5 has? I really need a response from someone enjoying his or her battery because I got the phone 3 days ago and I'll say I was highly disappointed with the battery life.

  • Which update of android are you using because I just bought my C5 Ultra this week but the battery drains so so fast. I purchased two phones Sony Xperia C5 for myself (because I love Sony) then ASUS Zenfone Selfie for my wife. When I compared the two batteries without sim cards, my sony drains really faster (like more than 50% faster) which I am really annoyed about. How can one improve the battery life of this C5 because it's non removable.

  • Suggest me pls... I'm planning to buy a new phone Samsung j7 or Sony c5 ultra or sony C4 ... Which is the best one

  • Hi , I bought this phone online (waiting for delivery) with my girlfriend and really can't wait to see how it works. Any feedback in terms of battery life? or this is normal due to a built in form of it? Thanks

  • Supermegaultra amazing but battery will drained fast.

  • C5 ultra battery is always hot even when not in use compared to my old xperia Neo V. Also standby time is only 27 hrs , all apps disabled. Is that normal?

  • Just bought this phone and it's great!..screen display is superb n fabulous. Only the battery is the problem. Need to charge it once a day like night time to use it for the next day.dont worry coz they got this ultra stamina mode when battery is already 15% left that allows u to use simple application like camera calls n text msg if u cant charge it soon.mobile data is disabled though if u use that mode.

  • Amazing device... By the way i also recommend my friend to by this ...........

  • The camera is great but the battery is average

  • Just send your phone to Sony Service Centre they will replace it for you

  • apple iphone 5s vs sony c5 ultra guys what is the best?

  • XD you too ,, my mi4i front camera brick after overheating ,, too much noise when using it ,, mi4i gaming for 5 minutes became very hot ,, but c5 ultra gaming 1 hour ,, didnt overheat like mi4i ,.

  • I got this phone since early january 2016. All i can say it's an amazing phablet. So far I don't have problems with this phone. I use it everyday as a companion in traffic here in philippines using WAZE app everyday going to the office for 1 hr and 2hrs traffic drive going home plugged in the cigarette car charger no problem. The only problem i encountered when i just newly got it that it charges very slow, the remedy i did was to use a higher amp charger like 2.5a or fast charger. I use an Anker 5 port usb charger with IQ technology 2.5a on my office and home and when travelling iuse my samsung quick charge charger came from my galaxy s6 edge+ then that's it solves the problem. This phone has a great screen great for watching the flash series when i'm on the go, almost borderless ang has a bravia mobile engine. Phone is smooth operating so far and so good i'm very satisfied with it. If youre hands are sweaty like mine i just bought a nillkin back case and works great too for thr grip because this phablet is huge. Overall im very satisfied with this phablet i just hope the battery life would last for more than a year since it's built-in. :)

  • Xperia c5 ultra rocks! Everthing in this phone is great! I really love it. About the bad reviews hmmm maybe they just dont know how to used xperia c5 ultra properly!

  • try video recording , its actually suprise u than A8 sammy

  • agree!! mi4i issues way too much , camera cant open after 3 months usage,written cant connect to camera, while my old Xperia Sp still working good

  • I like it so much but the battery life is so short I charge twice daily may be more any suggestion???

  • I read in a post in google that Marshmallow update will be distributed to Sony series this March, is this rumor or true?

  • i just bought this phone today.. lol not one bug found ,, overheat or battery issue.. seriously ,, wtf with all bad review?? try mi4i ,, that phone hav serious overheat problem ,,

  • picture quility is very poor

  • How can I replace the battery when it damaged.

  • Samsung fan detected... Don't troll here crazy...

  • Rear camera is not 13mp they are cheating...picture quality worse than 5mp

  • After updated 5.1 : - heating (unchanged). - Battery condition like before (unchanged). Drain to fast.

  • Ultra Dual Netherlands and still no update for me either. The garbage battery life is driving me insane. Unless the update solves the issue i'll be getting rid of it. Good device with horrible battery life and some other minor issues, but i need my devices to last so if it doesn't deliver it's out.

  • i purchased c5 lastnight (9-3-16), after watching 100's of reviews on youtube, 13 mp cameras and 6" display attracted me, in the outlet with lots of birght lights it was looking pretty good. in 1150 riyals saudi (21,000 rupees) when i reached home n cheked the screen it was disaster, very dull screen and gloomy images... my 2 year old samsung duos2 7582 screen looks better than c5... sadly there is no exchange or return facility..i lossed my money..

  • What about battery

  • Just today we buy this c5 ultra duel phone from Aeon shopping mall Malaysia.its every things is good no hv any issue.thanks Sony to make a great phone wonderful..!!!

  • Im upset that 5.1 hasnt reached my device

  • Sony's Best Cell Phone

  • Best phone,best camera quality........luv it.

  • I got a problem with my sony xperia c5 ultra i bought my phone yesterday. The battery drained from 97%-15% in just 4 1/2 hours of playing music. No other apps open only music and it is on stamina mode. Now i tried using mobile data. 1 1/2 hr using only chatting using messenger and the battery drained from 100%-62%.

  • My Z3 takes 3 hours to charge from 5-100%. But everything is superb.

  • Sony take longer time for charging that's why I don't like it... I was used Lenovo S90 THAT'S better then Sony.. Now I have Sony z3 it's take so much time in chatging

  • Is Punjabi shows in this phone??

  • I am really fed ip with c5..... When i am going to transfer my game and some app to sd card i can't do that..... Even the movie i have which i wants to tranfer to sd card...... Its not happend.... Sound quality even with head phone is also so poor.....

  • i love this phone...nice camera,Display,And Sleek... But I have 1 Problem.... when the screen is locked and when I turn sometimes there are some lines on the screen .... and often occurs when the screen would turn ... please repaired only that the software because it also occurs in two screen xperia c5 my friends

  • 5.1

  • The c5 ultra works great.

  • Which version of android do you have?

  • I want to buy c5 ultra is this phone good r bad n how battery is working

  • I boutght the phone on 20th of january. I have no idea what are you talking about battery.. i have my days planned and what i do every day on my phone is reading a book for about 1h, watching new videos on yt (what i subbed) for ~30mins, listening to music 1-5h, playing a game CoC for 30-60min, few calls and sms, a lot of messenger chating.. at the end of a day i have about 30% which is fairly enough.. You people: 1. are using phone so much or 2. bought some kind of copy Phone is pure art, big and clear display, no heating (except for one game i tried O&C2, there was heating), signal is fine (even in tunnels-metro where i wait for a train), speaker is loud enough, music signal-volume over headphones is above normal (and really great sound - unnoticeable stereo crosstalk), and not to forget great cameras.. what else would you want from a phone? Stick the apple on the back if you want, and you'll have the best poser iphone atm.. -.-

  • agree. the battery life was very disappointing.

  • WARNING during a new OTA lollipop 5.1 update this phone froze in the middle of the update. And the phone shut off.... Then it is now bricked... In the process of trying to fix it .. No luck its been a month

  • I just bought an Xperia C5 Ultra a week ago and I think the battery life is exceptional. I have the phone set for "stamina mode". I use the phone all day long at work and when I get home I still have 50% battery. That's a mix of YouTube Red, web browsing, checking email, watching videos stored on the SD card, and a few phone calls. The phone I had previous to this was the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. In that same usage scenario, the Galaxy Alpha was typically at 20% or less. And as far as the phone heating up...my previous Galaxy ran *a lot* warmer than the C5. A note about the Sony IPS screen vs. the AMOLED on my Samsung Galaxy. I thought I would miss the rich, oversaturated colors on the AMOLED...but I don't. I have the Sony IPS screen set to "Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2" and it's a little less saturated than the AMOLED and I am finding that I like it better. It's just a touch of saturation without being technicolor oversaturated. Sony's "Super-vivid mode" is just plain ridiculous...everything is SO oversaturated that it's cartoon-like. Overall, I absolutely LOVE this phone. For $299 I feel it's the deal-of-the-year for a 6" smartphone. LIKE: Huge screen Superb screen quality Great build quality Elegant looks Fast / no lag Beautiful photos from both cameras Good battery life DISLIKE Speaker is slightly tinny compared to my Galaxy Alpha "Super-vivid mode" screen setting has cartoon-like color saturation I LOVE THIS PHONE!

  • Dude same here, the battery drains very quickly. I clicked some photos at the expense of 5% battery ( the camera was on for 4 mins may be). The phone is awesome, but the battery is really disappointing.

  • Battery problem, i thought it will last for 2 days, but i used it 1/2 day only... I think it needs to improve the battery..

  • battery are crap just like asus.but i buy it because of the camera and ram/it fast but little expensive for the chipset.overall ok for chatting and taking photo.not suitable for gaming and long time web surfer

  • dont buy it got windows 10 usb connection problems! windows 788.1 are better. direct simple connection.

  • True battery is crapy

  • good device for this Selfi

  • Hi I just bought it yesterday... I noticed that WiFi is keep dropping... when WiFi connected, after use like 5 minutes, then WiFi just showing with the upload sign instead of download... then I have to switch off WiFi in my c5 ultra then turn it on again... then only it working, but after few minutes, its happen again.. Anyone has this issue?? Any solution ??

  • Plzzzzzzz tell me abt heating process

  • Battery is Actually like just 1500mAh.... Drains quickly... Nd in sunlighti see some sort of pixels dots aligned in parallel lines...other features are good for phone of this Range..

  • It will

  • Same experience here. Battery sucks. I charged it full but only used it about 6-7 hours

  • I want to buy new mobile (Sony Experia) Please suggest me its better or not

  • Can anyone tell pls if this can be upgraded to android 6.0

  • I just buy C5 2 days ago. I found that the battery was so fast drop. Before i use T2 ultra and i change to C5 because of camera,ram and int memory. Normal use for my T2 Ultra battery can last until night and still hv 30-40%, but now after 3 hrs use my batery drop to 35%. Very terrible

  • Moto X style us better

  • All good except for the battery span, easily drained and easily heated up backside. Battery is very very poor. The rest perfectly approved. I hope Sony will find solution for this battery heated up. Thanks.

  • its heating problem or not plzz tell me rajesh dude..........

  • Excellent phone. My only complaint is the fact that it isn't waterproof, and that the device is only 2gb RAM. No lag or studder, so I guess 3gb isn't necessary

  • Yes it does. Nearly all modern smartphones have one nowadays.

  • i want buy this c5 is good or no plz tell us

  • Can anyone confirm that this phone have gyroscope sensor? at other websites says that it has one, but not here.

  • It is nice mobile and camera having pakka clarity. totally superb

  • The front facing camera is surprisingly good considering the price. Better than my friends Z3 in both day and night photos.

  • really love this phone back and front camera are very impressive :)

  • I am thinking to take this mobile can anybody tell me how si secondary camera clearity

  • Of course the S6 is good. If your debating between the Z5 and S6, it's all personal preference. Do you value water/dust resistance, a great camera and audio found on the Z5, or a 2k display, fingerprint scanner, and a greater camera on the S6? Z5 also has a slightly longer lasting battery, but the S6 has quick charge capability. I'd personally get the Z5, because in my opinion it looks miles better, and I can't live without front-facing speakers.

  • I've had no issues updating this device. The front-facing camera is actually better than my friends Z3, which is impressive. The display is probably the devices best asset IMO

  • how about my friend c5 ultra front camera failed after upgrade os, he bought on december 2015

  • I need a phn....then i gng to buy c5 whats ur openion

  • What about the s6? Is it as good?

  • The only Sony phone's that fit your criteria are the Z5 and Z5 Compact. The latter is your best bet if you're on a budget.

  • Hi! I'm looking for a phone, preferably Sony, with a good rear and front camera, finger scanner if possible and long lasting! I am willing to pay between 300 to 500$. Any phones to recommend? Thank you very much!

  • I've had this phone for almost 3 months, and I've had no overheating whatsoever. It gets warm, but so does every phone.

  • I hv purchased this sony phone yesterday but nw it is heating so what i do for this.....

  • absolutly rite

  • Wt new things in update

  • Samsung sucks. Laggy crap phones. Sony Z series are the best.

  • Dear Minitech Thanks for your advice. Do you play game? Do you have problem facing slow when you play game because the RAM only 2GB. Thanks.

  • is it the odin mode just like for samsung phone ? isn't it ?

  • What's the difference between E5553 & E5506?

  • Check your device in safe mode. We can find out that if any third applications are causing this issue

  • Its mean you hate Samsung

  • I already updated it Sony_Fan .but battery seems to be the problem it lasted only a day.

  • I hav just one signal bar but still can call. Haven't had problems with that. 16 gb of storage is pretty less but I bought myself an SD card of 32 gb. More than enough. Never had lag issues or the phone hanging. Stay with ur Sony. Samsung should have been your first choice but If u bought yourself a Sony then stick with it

  • I just bought the Sony C5 three weeks ago. I am using the digi line. The indicator line sometimes show two bars or one bar. I still can call out. Does anybody have this problem before? Is 16 GB enough if I use for play game, download songs. Will the phone go slow or hang ? I thought of selling it and buy Samsung Note 5. Need advice. Thank You Very Much.

  • Mediatek in sony C5 ultra is a cheap cpu,mali T760MP2 gpu not on same level with adreno 330 gpu in sony Z ultra..qualcomm is better cpu for the longterm,mediatek for shortterm..cheers

  • note 3 ya 3ars

  • Hi, i am searching a phone. Now I am interested c5. Please let us know about the quality issue or same configuration which one is better.

  • I had worst experience with this mobile, looks wise it's good but performance like speed, heating issues and more. After purchase i had used it hardly for 30 days, then it started giving trouble ... one night when it was under charging, the phone went dead and has not startup in the morning, taken to the nearest service center and repaired and later after 5 days it went down again took it for service, repaired again and went dead after 1 wk, again submitted for repair, they have not replaced the handset, Finally repaired it and handed over. My sincere suggestion is don't go for this model !!! instead you can go to Lenovo Vibe Shot, very good performance and low heating, MediTek is not performing well ...

  • Yes.. Battery complaint

  • Yeah I know that , mediatek is crap compared with qualcomm but C5 is better because is newer device,both camera are much better and it will receive more of the future updates...

  • Mediatek in sony C5 ultra is a cheap cpu,mali T760MP2 gpu not on same level with adreno 330 gpu in sony Z ultra..qualcomm is better cpu for the longterm,mediatek for shortterm..cheers

  • Hi, who have this phone say me what is the size (how much is GB form 16 GB) of phone memory is for user (costumer)? What about phone? Good, bad? Can someone write all plus and minus of this phone? What about camera, sound of music and gaming and ect? Fast? Lagging? :) Thanks in advance for answers ;)

  • The camera is two level button. Press it more to capture the picture.

  • sony is very hot and battery life time too shot

  • when you set up an internet package on sim 1 you cannot set up another package on sim 2. Why is that ?

  • the design is amazing & beautiful in the hands specially the white one but affraid of it's performance as it's a second class sony phone...i think i have to go for Z2 with same price!

  • The battery life not good. Half hour only. I have regretsto buy this mobile C5 ultra!!!

  • C5 Ultra Phones Camera Is Super ..

  • It doesn't recognize "soft" press. The shutter button/key should be pressed hard if you want to capture images. Soft press will just focus the subject.

  • SanDisk is amazing...:) I have 128GB version and it works very well...

  • C5 ultra is mediatek but z ulta is qualcomm best is z ultrA because of the qualcomm chipset

  • Nice Phone.... Everything is Amazing

  • sandisk is junk that have big failing rate. getting one from samsung or sony is much better idea ;)

  • C5 ultra is better....Z Ultra is just slightly old and outdated but it was awesome phone and it's still great one!

  • They 2nd level button is a little bit strong. And when you do you need to hold a little bit. If its not working then bring it to the service center to repair it under warranty.

  • hye.. which one is better sony z ultra or c5 ultra ? thank you in advance :)

  • Hi .. I already did that, still the shutter key do not take any pictures. i already restarted my cp but still no luck.

  • i been using this fone for a month... battery life z gud..camera works well...i think its a good fone

  • You better buy huawei p8. Based on the comments of the users, sony C and M series are having shutdown issue unlike p8 of huawei...

  • I purchased sony xperia C5 a month ago Batter life is a problem. At an average 6 hrs of effective battery is what you will get. In short everything is fine but battery.

  • Hi, C5 looks great. I 'm thinking of buying but I have read that many are shutdown. Well, my options are Sony C5 , Sony M5 or Huawei P8 . What you think is best ? I want good support heavy games. Good cameras. The cell does not overheat much. Sorry for my english, im latin.

  • I m using this phone from last 2 months Until now i havent faced any major issue. It works good. Camera quality is very nice. Battery lasts for 1 day even though i keep my data on all the time If u r a samsung user n r used to small key features of samsung then u may feel disappointed with this phone. Eg- it does not have memo,sound recorder,call blocking facilities Moreover it does not provide the option for keeping the notification volume to 0 Silent mode settings are improper. Their was a priority mode earlier which after latest update is missing.. However if u do not require suh small features n r happy with camera battery n normal usage of fone. This model is great

  • Hi, Received the update today, downloaded it and it said 42 minutes to install. 10 miutes later it went blank, the android dissapeared and it won't switch on, nothing. Any ideas? Many thanks, Phil

  • Plz dont buy sony c5 ultra....after update also its battry doesnt long last.....

  • Yes, SanDisk is superb... Mine is SanDisk Ultra 128GB :)

  • SanDisk is good

  • Upgrade to 5.1 Lolipop make this phone work even better. Battery performance is better than before, the new update make the battery lasr longer.

  • The camera is two level button. Press it more to capture the picture.

  • @ > rohitk77. After 5.1 update camera respond time is great

  • @ > tika. Download Sony companion and install it in your PC, connect your Sony C5 Ultra and it will do the update for you, simple and easy. Over the air update is not working, i guess in asia pacific regions. So this would be your option.

  • Im using c5 ultra now, if u want a bigger screen for watching movie this is the best,if you are a heavy gamer you need to have a power bank with you.. Sorry for my english.. C5 ultra is ok.. :)

  • Hi, I m.from malaysia . I m using xperia c5 ultra 5.0 and now i m really wanna throw this because of battry draining. It doesnt long lasting. But still i have not got any update for 5.1 can u plz let me know how do i update manually

  • If you need a big screen phone with giant front camera and sexy look. Go for it

  • Hi...how is the camera after 5.1 lollipop update on sony xperia c5 ultra

  • To >> Hmm. Well I guess it didn't work for you, respect your opinion on the contrary mine works fine battery lasted a day for heavy usage and for normal and regular work around 1.5 day. Good for me I have 10,000 mAh Power Bank.

  • Its not great phone. First I would like to tell you no battery back up.battery sucks..Not even one day it will come.. Apart from every thing is fine. Im using this cell phone from past two months.my suggestion is don't go for this Xperia ultra c5.

  • Xenon 5.1 update is available now, download and install Sony PC Companion 2.1 first on your computer and your good to go.

  • 2 thumbs up Joe Philippines. Just don't forget the 5.1 update, 5.0 is crappy

  • 5.1 Update is now available for download. Well I guess the OTG is not yet available in Philippines but Sony PC Companion 2.1 works fine, quick and easy.

  • Finally, some common sense for Real Sony fans.

  • It is normal... I'm not heavy user and my Z3 lasts almost 5 days... I like only web surfing...

  • yeah well for my c5 I need to charge 2x a day since im a heavy gamer but compared to other handset it still last longer considering the size of the screen

  • I agree. He is just trolling. Sony is amazing. Mine is Z3.

  • you what's disgusting it's YOU! stop trolling to this page. theres a lot of helpful stuff that came from REAL C5 USERS. go back to your Samsung page

  • I do not have a working pc currently. Does anybody know when the update will be released

  • Where is the app?

  • i'm planning to buy Sony C5 Ultra, seems a great phone. . i prefer bigger Phone . . . bigger screen for watching movie and playing games

  • Sony z ultra or sony c5 ultra which is gud

  • Hi you can update your unit using pc companion..its very quick and easy.im from singapore too and my unit now is on 5.1 l..it runs very smooth and battery life quite improve also

  • Hi im from Singapore and i do not have the 5.1 lolipop update. I heard that c5 ultra would be receiving a 6.0 update?

  • I've been using Xperia C5 Ultra for 3 months now. I live in Istanbul, Turkey and we received Android 5.1 upgrade here. 5.0 is the worst android version, esoecially in the terms of battery draining and ram usage. Here are the differences i have noticed so far with 5.1 upgrade : - C5 Ultra is working much more smoothly, faster and it's very stabile. - No overheating whatsoever. - Battery lasts much longer than ever. - The camera application opens much faster and the quality is greatly improved even though it was already very good. - Ram Usage optimized, now you have 0.8-1 GB ram at your disposal. System ram usage greatly reduced like %100. - The device boots up much faster. - The charging time significantly reduced. -Overall, it was a great upgrade that addressed all of the exsisted issues of the device. It's now working very fast, fluid, smoothly without any issue.I'm very much pleased to get rid of that clunky Lollipop 5.0. Anybody who considers to buy this phone now can do this without hesitation as it's very fast with a good hardware, design, camera, screen, build quality and now battery life.

  • Sony xperia c5 ultra specs overall okay but the battery drain so much

  • It has few issues... Buy Z2 or Z3 or Z5 instead of this failure...

  • can you give the details abt the bloatwares you remuved

  • can u give me the details abt the app u remuved ???

  • I am taking sony xperia c5 is it good.....or worth of money ..?

  • Battery is not good. Seriously-_-

  • Hey guys....really need some help here....can one of you list all the sensors of xperia c5?? Pls reply

  • guyz its been 2 weeks i bought sony xperia c5 ultra dual. everytging is good only the one thing 2930 mah battry is really unbelievable its like 1500mah only. battry draining is really worse . it nearly takes 4 hours to be a fully charged but if u play games or use mobile continually its really doesn't take 4 hours to be the battry on ZERO. i m really very very sad with sony about battry. and about camera, its preety nice. front and rear canera clearity is good enough but when u take the picture it really makes u thinner and longer then real size. i dont know what is the problem. again i wanna let u know all, the battry is really useless if u have no worry about battry life then u can buy but if u see the batry is 2930 mah then plz dont buy its doesn't work like 2930 mah it onky works like the battry is 1500 mah.

  • you can do that by downloading du speed booster and after app manger.

  • Its non removable battery might be annoying T__T

  • You should totally get the Samsung A8 To be honest this sony xperia c5 SUCKS!!!! Oh boy where do i begin with,for starters the phone heats up like crazy for example your start using youtube or browse on the Internet and it overheats, and the camara sometimes says "error camara unavailable" and the the touch sometimes is unresponsive OMG AND THE BATTERY OMG THE BATTERY IS JUST PURE DISGUSTING its takes more than 3 hours to fully charged if your lucky and the battery drains so fast!!! And i was like wow is this phone already sucking am i going to have to return it for a new device but all of them are the same!!! Some even worse than the others this phone is not worth it i regret buying it 100% and i had the T2 ultra before and it was waaaay much better than this trash phone

  • Hi I have just used this phone foe 3 weeks. What are the apps that you uninstalled? Care to share? Thx.

  • I have been a very happy user of IPhone, from the first ever IPhone to IPhone5s. I am waiting for IPhone7 to be released and my IPhone5s' battery us failing that I wanted to try an Android although I am never a fan of Android. I chose Sony Xperia C5 firstly because I dislike Samsung. The other brands aren't appealing too, so I chose Sony. I like the lcd display,looks good and crispy. Phone has nice feel too. Cosmetically it is all good although the housing is plastic on the side and back. But most of us use phone covers so to me it doesn't matter much to me the plastic feel of this phone. Interface...this is android, I never liked android but I wanted to try. To me android is the stupidest os, it takes you around the world to get to certain settings. But I'm getting used to it but still believe it needs improvement. Back to the phone, everything to me is good but it is a little slow. I am comparing to my iPhone. Camera launch is slow that you would miss a few second if you need to suddenly take a snapshot of something. Apps open slow too. IPhone would open within a second but this phone takes at least twice or more slower. Battery runs out quite fast from 100% to 50%, somehow from 50% downwards the battery drains out much slower. I can't explain why but that is what I am experiencing. Maybe that is something good for me. Battery gets hot too after watching YouTube or Facebook for a while. WiFi issue is one if the hottest topic discussed about this phone. A lot of pple complained about WiFi disconnection or instability. I was pissed too as I had that problem myself. But after reading a lot of fixes, I finally fixed it and it's good now. To those who are having bad WiFi experience, check your router settings. For me what I did was to change the signal which was b/g/n to b only. After this setup my WiFi connection on this phone went back to normal. Don't despair coz there is a fix. You just need to login into your router setup and change the settings. Sony won't be able to tell you this fix coz I emailed then and told me to restart my router and restart my Xperia which I did many times but didn't fix my WiFi issue. In all, I like this phone, it is a fine phone, nice to play with. When IPhone7 comes out I would go back to iPhone coz to me iOS is still the best os and iPhone is still is much better device. But Xperia does offer me some excitement. If apple stops making phones I will stay with Sony Xperia. If Sony doesn't do phones anymore I will take LG. I would get a Z5 instead of C5, as Z5 is more superior.but in all as I said this isn't a bad phone. Oh lastly, some apps won't allow you to have data saved directly in sd card. For example, audio recording wouldn't save in sdcard directly, there isn't a setting that allows that. So be wise when utilising the 16gb they gave. Oh another thing, the on/off button and volume buttons at the side of the phone are too conveniently located that you might accidentally press them when you are just holding the phone in your hand. To me they shouldn't place the buttons there although they want this phone to allow a one-hand phone, where buttons are easily reached, but accidental pressing of the buttons is not good. Those who are eyeing on this phone, if you have more budget go for Z5. Otherwise, this is really a fine phone.

  • Yes. It do

  • I think it depends on the application...

  • Yes, but some developers make apps, that can't move to SD...

  • please any one tell me Sony c5 in can move installed applications on SD card? please help me

  • I recommend to buy any phone from Sony Z series... You won't regret...

  • Stay away from laggy Samsungs... Buy Sony...

  • Need advice. I intend to buy a phone but do not know which one to choose. Sony C5 or Samsung A8. Thanks.

  • I'm planning to buy a Sony cellphone. What can you suggest, a Sony Xperia C5 Ultra or Sony Xperia M5?

  • I want to buy this phone friends what's about its performance and BATTERY please .... thanks from now

  • ı want to buy this phone friends what's about performance and its battery pleas thanks from now

  • Depends on the USB charging block and the cable. If you use the cable supplied by Sony it should take 2 hours. I tried using a cable that came with another one of my phones and it came up as 4 hours but after I switched the cable it went to 2 hours. Do yourself a favour and download the Clean Master app. I used that to clean up a whoel bunch of issues, disable a lot of the Google and Sony bloatware and now my phone goes from lasting 7 hours in a day to lasting 36 hours (same usage patterns). Night and day difference after I put in the battery saving functions.

  • One is for listen while calling.So, it doesn't works as a speaker.

  • No its not

  • Is sony xperia c5 water resistant????????

  • The only problem on the gamin part is that you cant pair a dualshock controller like in T2 ultra

  • My only one speaker is working while playing music video or using loud speaker, how can I solve this problem pls help

  • Today I have bought it but only problem is my two speaker doesn't working, only one is working while playing music or using loud speaker how can I solve this plus suggest me

  • How do enable the usb otg?

  • I NEED HELP..when i open the app google the video of the camera stops working..it tells me that it cant record because video is playing in an other app..then when i delete google app the video works fine..why??? how google app can use video camera??

  • C5 or Z3?

  • hi, in my 3days exprience i'm satisfied to sony c5. normal usage of this phone i like it. games performance...good.i realy like the big screen compatible for the gamers. lag...no, in my exprience. battery_good heatup when playing online games i think its normal,not realy hot. coz i have previous snapdragon 400 chipset. but in my 1st day of using...hang coz i don't know how to use sony c5 or lolipop vrsion. but now my comment is... good phone from sony.

  • hi fnds, shall i take sony c5, give me suggessition guys

  • hi pashkedc7mv, thanks for your reply its realy help & I'm agree to your post.

  • It's normal for phone to heat up, so you guys should stop considering that thing as a minus. Neither should battery be the problem because people normally charge the phone every night - and there are those "things" that you can carry around and charge your phone anywhere (with, let's say 10.000mAh you can charge the phone 3 times and not worry about getting out of battery while sitting near the river and watching the movie with a friend, playing games, taking a lot of photos, playing music, reading ebooks, etc.). I read all comments here, and i saw people arguing about slow photo album viewer. Why not download another one from Google Store? Even my Idol X feels premium (and fast, without any glitches) with all amazing apps i arranged. Consider that phone looks amazing and has a good hardware. SD card slot is a big plus (i really don't know what's so hard to put SD-cs in all phones out there.. too many phones i rejected because of missing card slot). Soon i'll buy this phone and i'm happy because it's a huge upgrade from my Idol X. Even if C5 Ultra is a mid-range phone, it's pretty expensive - but hey, it's not like i'll need to buy another phone in near future. In my (poor Serbia) country i had to work 1,5 month to get money to buy this phone (i'm a student; 22-yo), just waiting for money.

  • 2 speakers on front face are just for the mirror image look. The top one is for calling, the bottom one for music/media.

  • Yaa iam also Same problem

  • It has. Check this out

  • I have been using this phone for a week now. It is a good phone. Great camera quality. Battery lasts less than 2 days but I charge every night so 2-day battery life do not really matter to me. Fast performance. Lags very seldom. Great screen. Good audio quality. I usually use it for FB, Messenger, BBC news, camera, Skype, movies, Youtube and headphone music. I will surely recommend it to a friend.

  • Hi guys I'm confuse to the dual speaker my sony c5 only 1speaker work at the bottom but when I call the top speaker have sound. question... 1.how to use dual speaker when i play music or games? 2.is the top speaker and earpiece are the same output? thanks in advance for the reply:).

  • Hi guys I\'m confuse to the dual speaker my sony c5 only 1speaker work at bottom but when I call the top speaker have sound. question how to use dual speaker when i play music or games? thanks in advance.

  • guys I'm thinking to buy this phone instead of my old xperia z as an secondary phone...does it deserve??? and most of the new z series are expensive plz advice

  • Does this phone have double tap to wake feature?

  • I have few concerns before buying this phone. 1.) The battery life. How long?-It depends if you were connected to internet or playing games. But its not 2 days. Try battery saver :) 2.) Is it good for gaming also? Good so far 3.) Is it worth the price? Very affordable compated to Z5 or S6 4.) Does it really lag?-Once but not often based on experience :)

  • yes it does :)

  • I have few concerns before buying this phone. 1.) The battery life. How long? 2.) Is it good for gaming also? 3.) Is it worth the price? 4.) Does it really lag?

  • i need to ask anyone that has ever used or own one ,does this phone has a notification LED?

  • Anyone can confirm if how long is the normal charging of Sony C5, is it really 3-4hrs? Also, the only problem im facing is the battery, i downloaded some battery enhancer, i hope it fix the battery issue.

  • Anyone can confirm if how long is the normal charging of Sony C5, is it really 3-4hrs? Also, the only problem im facing is the battery, i downloaded some battery enhancer, i hope it fix the battery issue.

  • Ok. So i decided to download the latest sofware available for my c5 as suggested by sony and it was a wrong decision since iupdated my Software I began to understand people here complaining about their battery consumption which became verry hungry notice it specialy during idle. My power consumption in idle was from 8% before update then became 47% after update. My battery before last 2-3days on average use now just 1-1.5 days. Plus it heats up now when use in quite long period specialy gaming which i didnt have before.

  • I have sony m4 aqua also and planning to get the xperia z5, I saw it on one of the network kiosk and I was amaze especially the xperia z5 premium it`s android lollipop 5.1.1 version.. one of the staff there owns it and he told me that it`s really a great phone and he never had any lags at all.. it might be the software, because we all know that even if the specs are good but when the software sucks? whats the use of the best hardware?

  • buy the Z series of Sony instead of any other medium range phones form Sony, the Z series are sony`s flagship phones that can rival any other flagship phones of android. I have a Sony M4 Aqua and as far as I`m concerned the android lpop 5.0 is the worst version of the lollipop and it lags.. and sony doesn`t even update it to 5.1 above.. so thats why. and if you don`t believe, go check it out "cons of android lollipop 5.0".

  • My phone Same problem.

  • I read many posts on this thread before deciding to buy this phone. I held it in my hand... The size is fine with me (after all, a smartphone should have a large screen in order for the user to do all smart things (such as map browsing, gps, web surfing, reading emails, ebooks, etc). The battery lasts for two days with average use, as with all smartphones with 5.5" screen size. Need more juice? Just get a powerbank and extend its running time. Camera is not lagging. I use it with a Sony Bluetooth headset and call sound quality is excellent. GPS locks really fast. For its size, its quite light. I removed all unnecessary applications... I did find the vibration while ringing, not as strong as other devices. I would deferentially recommend this phone for its specs and price as its value for money is very good.

  • Buy Z3 or Z5 instead of this crap...

  • direct 3G Video call possible with out any apps?????????????

  • at first it was working fine. but the camera app, lags frequently.. pisses me of everytime

  • z2 is better than c5...i have both.c5 has much better front camera though and looks slightly more stylish because its front looks very sexy.

  • Z2 because it is a flagship overall quality is better.but I would recommend you Z3 because Z2 is already bit old Z3 will have more of the future updates.

  • which phone is better c5 or z2 and why idont worry about the camera

  • no airplane mode ? LOL try looking bit harder ;) there is ''airplane mode'' in every android device and also in C5 ultra if there is no icon in usual place than go in quick settings and click on small pen next to battery lvl percentage and settings icon .there you can add and remove or rearrange icons for quick settings.

  • c5 ultra and all sony phones e4,e4g,m2(lowest priced) have-1.haptic feedback.2.airplane mode. you don't know how to activate these man.in the quick settings toggle there is airplane mode.its there.just edit what you want in the quick settings toggle by touching the edit icon.c5 ultra has haptic feedback on touch.its in settings where you can check whether to vibrate on touch. regards battery-turn on stamina mode for battery.all you said is pure lie or you don't know anything.my c5 gives me 1.5 days and i know how how to use airplane mode and how to turn on haptic feedback.

  • for the battery problem buy a power bank!!

  • Same problem

  • I purchased the C5 ultra a week ago and here are my comments: 1) not all android OS are created equal. The C5 doesnt have haptic feedback options, has no 'airplane mode' like the Z series, and drains battery life very fast. I have to download 3rd party apps to reduce the drainage rate. The front camera is super clear, so that's good for selfies, wefies, etc. Screen is large, another good point. But I don't know why they must scrimp on the Android O/S by taking out some important but basic functions or hiding them under sub-menus. Guess it comes with the cheaper price compared to the Xperia Z series. Moral of the story: if you want the full-fledged OS, go for Xperia Z5. If you want large screen with clear front camera, go for C5, but beware of its drawbacks.

  • Should i update my phone to its latest version of firmware cause i find no problem right now with the current version no battery issues etc.

  • Yaa iam also same problem its charging to late

  • Decided to buy this phone a week ago after reading several reviews. As i have experienced the battery life is good, camera is excellent and performance as well. I have never encountered issues. To prolong the battery i have stopped several applications on the back ground such as Viber, Yahoo messenger or any messenger when doing some gaming. Dismiss unused application in the Task. Turn off the data when not in use and lower my screen resolution when using indoors. Overall i like the performance of this phone and it doesn't feel like a midranger

  • HI, I'm in thereon week with my c5 and had experienced a lot of issues within the battery. Tried a lot of different chargers with varied amp setups and it kept depleting so fast and charging so slow. two days ago I charged it sith a Motorola fast charger with 2.1 amp and I'm writing this commit with my c5 as of 36 hours of no charge period and with still 66% battery in it. I was so disappointed but found out that the main concern is the charger it comes to begin with. I'm sure the Sony branded fast charger can do the same trick. Also it got charged from 0 to 100 in about 2 hours!! Cheers

  • When I tried to move heavy games such as NOVA 3, it only moves the apk file but the obb file remains in the internal storage only. Anyone faces this problem or is that because of my sd card.

  • model is very nice bt use is less for students.bec slow version.

  • hi sam here, since i've bought my phone (sony xperia c5) i dont know why my phone is getting over heat when evr i activate my screen mirroring or else if i watch the movie for atleast 15 min.... i purchased this phone b'coz the reason behind is the BRAND... i wonder by seeing this issue...

  • My phone take almost 6 to 7 hours to fully charge. When it reach at 90% it is very slow and take 2 hours to 100%. Anyone have experienced issue like me?

  • phn is good, but there are many problem like proximity sensor, battery back up & sensor problem. i will advice u all to not to buy sony phn.

  • how is the battery life and what is the best mobile in that price

  • this is a mid range phone. and specs. like mid range. but price is little high. and for todays market you can expect more improved specs. specialy from sony. ohtervise phone is just awesome. there are no words to say and no comparison.

  • SONY always had thin bezels.what you getting from trolling here?there are some serious people who are looking for info so they can buy best phone for their needs and trolls like you only distract them...you trolls have no shame at all...pathetic.

  • this is mid range device! do you now what that means? but you are anyway probably just another troll....

  • What Ina better c5 or m5

  • Bro that's plenty of gaming on such big screen I don't know what you people expect how long battery to last while gaming? I used many phones and there are flagships that I can drain in less than 3h easily (depending on the game and brightens) only things that can last for longer period of time are tablets with huge batteries inside and some devices are good with battery life like Sony xperia Z2,Z3, LG G3, Samsung S5 (all with 801 chipset/1080p display and big batteries) and all xperia compact versions Z1c,Z3c,Z5c because they have small resolution screen which not only drains less battery but also puts less load on chipset and graphic ... YES Marshmallow will probably help improve battery life a lot but don't expect to much from it! I suggest again to everybody who uses any xperia device to enable ''Extended usage'' in STAMINA settings . This will put only restrictions on CPU and GPU and prolong your battery life a lot because you don't need all that power when going trough simple tasks. I use that setting all the time and never experienced reduce in performance(even when gaming) and if you do notice any reduce in performance simply turn it off again.

  • Very good phone with Camera and amazing sound ... A Sony brand user,😃 But battery life is very poor It drains very fast... Any solutions for that???

  • Sorry but it last at most about 3h and a half to be exact. Im a heavy user so may i ask whether the battery life will be improve with the upcoming 6.0 Marshmallow update?

  • Hey Dark Master, I am just sharing my experiences over here. One thing is for sure that u get more battery backup on kitkat than lollipop. In using as well as in idle/standby time. Maybe it is possible with new phones that comes with new hardware, the scenario is different. But many users are also complaining about battery backup in lollipop.

  • what??is everything ok whit your mind?you going around and suggesting people to buy older phones.that's crazy man anyway lollipop is not that bad on 5.1.1. and update 6.0 marshmallow will come soon on C5... I don't have ZR so it could be true that battery really socks on that one but that's old phone could be also battery issue?you ever replaced the battery?since I still have xperia Z(similar to ZR) and no battery drainage on lollipop 5.1.1. but i rarely putting it in use since it has connection problems in my country not all the bands are supported :(

  • I am afraid that unfortunately you can not do that with C5 ultra. Because C5 ultra comes with base version Android Lollipop 5.0. So there is NO Kitkat version available for C5 ultra. I have ZR now and I also fed up of this shitty lollipop huge battery drain even in Stamina mode also. I also decided to buy C5 ultra but not bought due to this base version. Go and buy some other phone which has at-least Kitkat 4.4.4 as a base version.

  • people check your wall adapters/chargers because it doesn't have anything to do with the phone itself....and yeah if you charging your phone trough PC or something like that it's gonna be slow as fu*k for any phone that has such big battery.

  • Should I get a Asus ZenFone laser ze550kl or Sony Xperia c5 ultra or a Sony Xperia m5. Someone pls advice thanks

  • 3 to 4 hr of charging time on xperia c5 not 6 to 7. and it heats to much. battery backup is not good.

  • to be honest never measured those things and it's not easy to answer since it depends on the charger you will be using 1A, 1.5A or 2A... I think for 2A charger something more than 2 hours. but what kind of charger you will get i don't know since what you have in the box it depends on the region and type of charger is not the same for every region....anyway phones rarely comes with 2A chargers(more often with 1A) but you can buy those 2A adapters cheaply for 5 to 10 $ (at least something that Chinese products are good for hehe xD) you don't need best quality adapter and only part that goes in wall socket without the cable! example : I marked on next 2 images where is the info about the output of the charger: 1. 2. your charger may be sufficient for you so try it out because original one is always better...

  • Battery full charge only 3 h

  • you can't do it on C5 because it's running 5.0 out of the box and android 6.0 marshmallow is coming soon anyway. but if you have problems with battery just use extended usage in stamina settings and battery life is gonna probably to double and that setting doesn't restrict anything besides CPU because you don't need all that power when going simply trough system interface,messaging or browsing the web.

  • Hey! i really liked it..but the problem is with the battery holy heck only 2930 mah?!?!?!?!? WTF man...and about design its amazing! good luck!

  • you got 4h of gaming and you want more?

  • thanks bro. thanks for giving ur valueble time to me, i m going to buy this today. i just want o know a final thing that how much time it takes to full charge.?

  • This phone is not good because of battery 0 to 100% charge take time 6 to 7 hours.this is only problem in this phone.

  • Hello im a sony xperia c5 user and currently my screen on time for games is about 3-4 hrs i would like to inprove that. Can anybody tell me how Thanks in advance

  • go troll on some other page

  • thanks bro. thanks to explaining me... i will buy xperia c5..

  • sir can I ask where can I download kitkat 4.4.4? Got problem with my c5 too :( but i don't want to take my own risk to downgrade it with my own coz i dunno how to do that. Please help my sir thank you :)

  • I'm glad you like C5 I said it's a beauty and also told you that rear camera is only decent and front one is better because it has 22 mm wide-angle lens so it's not everything about megapixels!there is also big difference between Superior auto and manual mode... problems you encountered with rear camera are probably those: indoor photos to appear darker than they should and some noise in low light. you can adjust white balance trough slider in settings and light the photos. In manual settings you have those scene selection for example night scene or night portrait helps a lot to eliminate digital noise.also lower to 8mp when making shots in low light. when i shoved my friends what they can do in manual mode they never gone back to auto. That's it about the rear camera on C5 it can produce a decent results but it will never stand out. If you want both good cameras on mid range device check Xperia M5 it's similar device nice and sleek with a lot better hardware inside. About the heating well this is gonna be longer replay but I will take my time to explain how things work. There is difference between heating up and overheating so far I used many android devices mostly Sony,Samsung,HTC,LG and never had in my hand device that doesn't heat up and drain battery when gaming and using certain camera modes like those faces and portrait stuff,AR fun and 4K of course. How much heat you will feel from device depends on chipset implementation and device build(if device is thick like HTC less heat you will feel from it,if device body is made of metal or glass it will become warm quickly but glass also helps to cool down faster then any other material)... ....and even when you don't feel it heat is there! check with cpu-z or some other app,Clean Master also is nice app that will warn you when cpu starts to heat up...but everything is ok! if there is no force closing apps , random crashes or frame rate drop in games you are good. don't believe usual boolshit you can come across the internet that for example Mediatek does not heat up compared to Qualcomm or other way around.... there is no need to worry about the heat when using your phone(I never do it's not like is going to melt in your hand or burn it xD) if it overheats it's gonna simply close the app that causes heating until cools down but that rarely happens because it needs to be something really heavy like certain camera modes and that 4k , but never in gaming I can drain whole battery from 80% to 5% (playing Real Racing 3,Asphalt 8,Modern Combat 5) and it's not gonna close the game because of heat...

  • Me too

  • mobile data is off but it consumes my load...how to fix this

  • thanks bro. for suggesting me. but earlher today i went to the store and 1stly i checked xperia c5. omg!!! i jst loved it. amazing looks. great front camera. but rear camera is not good. in dark area. i thnught it is a once device having problem. so clearing my dought. i went another 2 3 store and checked it. there is same issue on the rear camera. and after few selfees and around 2 3 mins. of gaming and. video playing. its heat too much. from back side.... and battery drains quickly... on the other hand htc me's front cam. was great (not as sony have) and rear camera is also good. i use continuesly 15mins. for gaming. watching videos and take photos. but there was no heating issue. but i noticed there was a optical image stabilitsation missing on that phone. and battery was worked little better than xpera c5 so want to know. from you. there is any heating issue on the c5. hw is the back camera. (i jst want to be sure) cz i want phone for camera. to taking pics. and i m a game lvr and music lvr too... so guys plz give me your valueble feedback.

  • i hve a prblem this phone . heat prblem

  • 1: Front camera on C5 absolute beast rear camera is only decent it's reversed thing on HTC 2: For better display go with C5 it's really impressive even it's just 1080p 3.For connectivity C5 4.C5 also have excellent battery life. 5.Both phones preform good with no heating issues HTC should be slightly faster but hardly noticeable, although you should consider 1gb of ram more you are getting on HTC and bigger internal storage of 32gb compared with C5 which has 16gb but both come with expendable option up to 200gb trough microSD. I personally would recommend you SONY C5 but best way to decide is always to go and try device for yourself in the store.One thing with SONY is that they are really good with future updates on software and build quality is never compromised to give better look.don't get me wrong this one is real beauty with thin body and bezels,huge screen and nice glossy back which is fingerprint magnet also :( some additional info on C5 that it's almost identical with it's predecessor C4 in terms of hardware only key changes on C5 are : 1.nicer design with bigger display(from 5.5 to 6.0) 2.better front camera from (from 5mp to 13mp) 3.bigger battery (from 2600mha to 2930mha) I'm mentioning C4 because it's cheaper and maybe worth consideration and there is some good info about it here remember C5 it's almost the same device with only 3 key changes i mentioned above.

  • hey guys!! plz help me out. i m confused between xperia c5 ultra and htc one me. plz tell me which one i can buy.. my expectations are not much big. i want 1) good camera (both) 2) hd or wqhd or EHD disply. 3) all connectivity coptions. like hdmi, tv out. otg, nfc dlna. etc. stylish phn. 4) good battery backup, 5) no heating issue... so plz expert and experiance plz suggest me...

  • Is it worth the money??

  • Dies it really have those problems..... Will it be cleared Aftr new updates...?????

  • Hi Juicy, What about the battery life? How much max Screen On Time u get? How much time it takes to full charge? How about the battery drain in idle time? Have u upgraded to Lollipop 5.1.1? If yes, then how is it in terms of battery life? Thanks in advance.

  • Hi Friend, On Lollipop 5.1.1 at first I was getting Normal 3+ hrs SOT but later it gets decreased. I was struggling to get 1 hr SOT also. Lollipop is very Unpredictable regarding Battery Backup. The very IMP problem of lollipop is you get huge battery drain in mobile idle time also. In kitkat it is hardly 1% battery drain in idle time. Then I flashed Kitkat 4.4.4 then again it is back to normal. To install the kitkat again, just download a .ftf file of your Mobile as per correct model no and area. For eg. I have Sony Xperia ZR C5502 India version. So I downloaded the same and the using a Flash tool you can install the same. For detailed info, please see the flashing video on YouTube.

  • I have the same problem! My mobile data is turned off but it still keeps using my data. Have you found a solution to it?

  • is this phone support usb otg and mhl out?

  • The Processors!! If Sony will not produce their own processor then in the future market it will be a big blow to them.

  • Possible Release date: February 2016

  • how many hrs is ur SOT in ur lollipop OS? and how did u downgraded it?

  • It's a good phone mate. I have been using it for a month now and have no problems with it. High specs on a mid range phone. It's definitely worth ur money.I love the camera too on this one. The 6inch screen is best when u wanna play games or watch movies. Go for it

  • plz give me advice in c5 ultra phone? it is good or poor phone? why?

  • When mashmellow update available in c5 ultra pls tell me friends

  • I need more clarifications Sony C5 and C4

  • I've been using this fon for almost three weeks. I am starting to love this BUT I have a problem. I am connected to our Internet but still my load is being used for Internet connection. An info will pop-up says that I have only this load and my fon is connected to I.net. I already disabled my mobile data... Restricted to our I.net only. I believe i've checked what to be checked, still same issue... I have been spending bucks and bucks for the load.... So dissapointed... Can someone help me with this dilemma... Thanks in advance.

  • Thank you for the specific review

  • I am a HUGE Sony FAN and I want to share some thoughts. I am a Computer Engineer and trust me I do Lot of R&D on Mobile Phones (Specially Sony Mobiles). I am also interested to buy this mobile but, The Lollipop 5.1.1 of Sony is having some serious issues of Battery drain. Currently I am using Sony Xperia ZR from last 1+ yr. I updated it to latest 5.1.1 lollipop and got frustrated for so many days because, In mobile idle time also bttery drains like crazy. I have done Factory Reset also but NO use. Check your battery drain at Morning as mobile is idle at night, u'll see the huge steep in battery graph. I hardly getting 1 hr + screen on time in full single charge and unpredictable battery life. So I downgraded to Kitkat 4.4.4 and vola... now battery works like AWESOME again. Gives me almost 4 hrs of Screen on time. Kitkat 4.4.4 is the MOST STABLE Version of ANDROID TILL DATE. Plz think about this before buying. I am confused in between Z2 and C5 Ultra. But now I am thinking to buy Z2.

  • i have bought this mobile today and i want to know should i charge this mobile from 0 to 100% than it will give me healthy battery life or any other suggestion please reply me team.

  • do it will be heated?

  • no, this phone non water resistant

  • It's not water proof like Z series and some M series.

  • laggy performance, over heat issues, battery draining , Camera is good but app takes about 7 seconds to launch . overall is not good and i do not recommend it for any one

  • This Phone is no good at all , RAM is almost allocated to system with barely no user space. Simplest Applications are lagging (i.e Dialer) . Camera App requires 5 to 7 seconds to show up after pressing it .. the only positive features is the front camera , flash and Wide screen... i just bought the phone 1 month ago and i am considering to sell it as i cant handle its poor performance :(

  • When is marshmallow update for c5 ultra dual

  • i have use this phone previous 2months...simply its superb..but heating issue is there..every time it will heated..expecially while charging,taking photos,gaming...audio quality is excelent....iam waiting for the marshmallow update..can resolve these battery drain problem as well as the heating problem

  • Does it have the under water thingie like others or not ?

  • no its not waterproof.

  • Yes

  • does it have no waterproof value in as others?

  • Just want to ask if ur battery really reaches up to 2days and 11 hrs in the power management? How long does it take to charge ur phone?

  • Guys, seem like a good selfie phone for the front and rear 13mp camera :)

  • hi, just sharing something here about ram & battery issue, go to (setting - app - all app) just disable the app u dont use, but be careful dont disable app that need to run on systems program, this step really help me on some app keep running on ram but i dont use them, lesser ram use, lesser lag & battery drain problem 👍

  • C5 is Japan brand Zenphone is China brand RAM is not a big deal for instant iphone use 1g ram or 2g ram Over RAM also suck your battery

  • tell me problems of using c5 ultra

  • How about the charging time?how many hours?

  • Hiii may I ask if this device can play nba 2k15 or 2k16??? Thanks in advance :-)

  • Please advise which one better: xperia c5 ultra or zenfone 2 with 4gb RAM?

  • Hay :What are you talking about?? SONY Z5 Premium 4k phone has 806 ppi and 300ppi is the highest level which human eyes catch up:) LOL:) Do your homework:)

  • battery life is one day for me as my day starts at 9am to 9pm who play games upto 2 hours, music and videos for 2 hours 10 to 15 photos and browse internet through wifi for 6 hours per day including whatsapp and other chatting apps 2 hours calls, and for casual user its upto one and a half day, although 2930 mAh looks not enough for 6 inch screen but it is good. Stamina mode gives more upto 10 percent

  • PH here. planning to buy , where did u bought ur fone? sony store or greymarket?

  • battery life?

  • False, recent researches saw us that depending of your eyesight , you can see till 700 -800 ppl

  • I bought this phone for their dual speaker setup, but its not, It is single speaker i.e sound quality is acceptable. 6 inch screen with 367ppi is good, but not great also some user shall find c5 little bulky but it feels so good in hand because of thin body. 13MP camera is awesome with bunch of cool features also downloadable front is same as back. 16 gigabyte on-board storage feels little small for lollypop OS, and may be also get worse for update to marshmallow. OSs are getting GB hungry these days,although it supports upto 200 external storage.

  • Will this phone get marshmallow?

  • "Buy or Not to Buy" is the decision of our own Your post reveal your jealousy Be honest:)

  • Very long and boring troll story How much money you get for writing this false story:)

  • Without having C5 don't tell fake story

  • STABLE yourself:) Even Huawei phones are not bad as you argued Sony C5's beauty feels ealousy to fanboy of other brands such as samsung:)

  • Human eye can divide pixels under 300ppi Over 300ppi Human eye can't Why don't you know the fantastic battery life of XPERIAS

  • 6 inch screen should have min of 445 PPI 6 inch screen should have min of 3400 mah

  • HI GUYS . I want 2 buy this phone. Please tell me more about camera and the display

  • Be careful thinking to buy this phone cause it gets overheat easily battery drain, lags many times, otherwiae its good soo I would say noo to this phone

  • If u play lot of games than don't go for c5 ultra battery drain badly and gets hot easy than any other phones, disappointed with this phone. Think before taking this c5

  • Yeah,, I didn't know about it and bought it. it gets hot too muuch even we are doing normal stuff on phone,really disappointed with this 📱 :-(

  • C5 ultra is best awesome phablet I'm enjoying alot with this phone

  • I've got the same problem of battery draining extremely fast too, like 100% drained in 3 hours, it even drained when it's idle. Charging is really slow too, like 8 hours. I suspect it's because of the draining problem. I found a fix at the following link: I've copied the solution as follows: (Go to WiFi advanced settings Select option Keep wifi on during sleep and select Never. Go back to home screen press the button on side for the screen to go off then put the phone down for a few minutes. Press the power button for the display to come back on and you should notice that the wifi symbol will start to come on. Now, follow the steps above, except this time select Always. Go back to home screen press the button on side for the screen to go off then put the phone down for a few minutes. And thats all I did. If like mine, you should notice within a few hours that battery draining has more or less stopped.) I'm really happy with the phone now. The only thing now is that it heats up a bit when playing games. Not too hot though. But there are so many good points about the phone. The display is amazing, amazing colour contrast, natural colour, without the image enhancement. Switching to Bravia or vivid kind of distort the colour, so i won't use the image enhancement. Sound better than my previous Xperia Z. The speaker is pretty loud. The sound on speaker won't crack even on maximum volume and it has a really nice low bass to it, not heavy though. Putting on a pair of decent earphones, the audio on clear audio mode is simply superb. The camera is really good. The camera start up isn't the fastest, yet not too slow. It's not an issue for me. I have no problem waiting for 1 second for it to start up. The interesting thing about the camera is if you open by swiping right on locked screen, it'll go to auto mode. If you unlock the screen and you open the camera by pressing the camera icon, it'll go to the setting that you've previously used. i want to share this because i saw in some comments that when they go to the camera, it always go to auto mode and not the setting that they previously used. The phone is fast enough for me. The phone is simply gorgeous. I've got the white version. I just love it.

  • Does this phone have voice recorder & video calling???

  • I would just like to ask if ur c5 ultra battery reaches up to 2 days coz mine does not. In the power management supposedly after charging to 100% it should indicate 2 days and 11hrs for estimated battery life. But then in my phone instead of 2 days and 11hrs it only shows 24hrs. And the charging time is really slow and the battery drains really fast. Am i only the one having these kind of problem? Really appreciate if u reply thanks a lot!

  • Using this beauty since 2 months, no issues, battery is good, superb cameras both front n'rear in fact the best I've ever come across, massive screen for watching videos & playing games.My 11 month old Z3 (D6603) has now become my secondary phone.

  • i think its normal to get overheating on C5 ultra because of its big screen with its high brightness so i recommend not to increase brightness and switch it to Auto otherwise most of phones gets overheated because of its reasons that i mentioned C5 working great for men Right Now using it for about 1 week

  • The problems are only overheat, hanging and battery drain fast?

  • @ SOHEL If you are really looking at choosing between these 2 phones (M5 and C5) only, then I would recommend M5. Reason:- - M5 has 3gb ram, - M5 has 21mp rear camera - M5 screen has higher resolution in terms of ppi - M5 has better processor, the Helio X10 which is better than C5. I also have a Sony Z3, from my own experience, Z3 outperformed my M5 even though my M5 is about 1 month old and my Z3 is about 10 months old. But overall camera wise, the M5 did outdo my Z3, slightly. Hope my info helps.

  • Hi friend, currently I have Sony Z3 and M5 Dual Sim, actually I'm surprised that you changed from Z3 to C5 because C5 is a mid range phone using MTK Processor and Z3 was last year's flagship. Z3's Snapdragon 801 is still respectable in terms of performance. My other Sony, M5, is using MTK Helio X10 Octacore but still cannot outperform the 801 as the MTK lags while writing huge files between SD card and internal storage. Believe me, Z3 is still a respectable phone, not the top but respectable.

  • Does this phone have voice recorder & video calling???

  • I sell my Z3 and bought C5. I've been using it for 2 weeks. It has an awesome front camera. But it seems it's like it doesn't have an Octacore processor. It is lagging and hanging up that you need to force it to shutdown. I'm quite disappointed.

  • M5 has better specs

  • The Xperia M5 is almost identical to the xperia Z3+, the C5 is way bigger and not waterproff

  • C5 is good phone its camera is good in night or not plz cmmt frNds .. i am thinking to take sony xperia c5 ....! plz rply guys .

  • sony xperia c5 ultra dual or htc desire eye which one is better?

  • i want to buy a mobile.. plz suggest one+2 or sony c5 or moto x play or htc deaire 826

  • thanks alot !

  • Its not because it doesnt have gyro usually gyro only offer in flagship devices

  • Could I ask you a question, C5 Ultra can charging by charger: Sony - EP881, is it faster ? and how long it take to full 100 % from 20 % battery by normal charger ? Thank so much !

  • I like Sony but not this C5 ultra. I used it for a week and sold out. Please believe me and don't buy it. 1)- It's getting hot and feels occurred in hand. I used to put it in infront of a/c. every 30 min. 2)- Battery life sucks. Too low

  • why battery is non removable for me removable battery is more good

  • Autocorrect* Bought

  • how's the phone after recent software update ?

  • I love this phone so much! Everything is so clear, the sound is also good. Yeah it do heat up faster than regular phones (my husband's Xperia Z1 also heats up fast) I guess it must be because of its screen. Am just so concerned about it when it hangs up that I need to reset it and when I do, some of my recently taken pics get deleted! I hope this can be resolved because this phone is so perfect for me!

  • Got this phone just yesterday. And I love it. Im not a selfie person, but since i both this phone, I think Im starting to be one..hehe The only thing I noticed is that it heats up fast, but I think its normal for this large screen phone(i dont know if that makes sense).I hope it can be solve for the coming system update(please sony) Anyway, the whole experience for me is great and the phone is superb...been wanting to have this phone since the very first day it was announce. And now i have it hopefully It will serve its purpose I was expecting..I think so! thanks sony.

  • any lag issues about this phone??? please help me because im planning to buy this phone

  • Sony needs to stop making 16GB phones. They need to jump the gun to higher memory, lets push for 64GB minimum for 2015-16, so they can stay in the market longer well past it's years needed. Making obsolete products too soon is not cool. As Google Play has open the door for APK file size limit to 100MB from 50MB. Phones that have 8GB or 16GB are not cutting it right now in 2015, and won't stay in the market that long even for non American markets.

  • This phone waterproof ... any Water resistant

  • I traded my C4 for C5, no regrets at all, C5 rocks in looks & performance not to forget it has stunning cameras.

  • Yes,it is.

  • No. If you want to game a lot on a phone don't get a midrange. Go for flagships.

  • Hi everyone, I'm torn between Sony C4, Sony C5 Ultra and LG G3.. I have checked the specs and prices. I have seen some positive and negative reviews. I love the 6.0 inch of the C5 but it's ppi is lower than the C4's 5.5 inch. The 13MP front camera of the C5 is better than the C4. The C5's battery is also a bit better. If only they have the same ppi, I would have chosen the C5. And then came the LG G3 which is better (except for the quad core) in terms of overall specs and battery. The thing is, I just need some serious opinion from someone before I make my final decision. Thanks in advance.

  • Me too. 2 gb ram but why always full, any update to fix this problem?

  • Which one has a better camera(rear camera in still pictures)? Lg g3 or c5 ultra? I know c5 ultra is lil'bit slow while taking the snap but it doesn't matter to me.

  • sony is now focusing on selfie based camera also a good selfie flash on it u just loved it also good features like good sound n thin bazel display but the ppi just lacks but overall good

  • how many phones you have

  • in your post in Sony Xperia C5 ultra dual, you said the battery is you concern after updated. and in this forum you said, the battery could survive to 1.5 days. which one is true ? please give the correct information

  • hello! may i ask, what apps are u using in ur 1.5 days of usage? are u using 3g/4g? sorry for bad english

  • Sad to hear that. My C5 can last about 1.5 days. The performance is adequate and battery is good. I'm not trying to be Sony fanboy here just telling my experience.

  • I love sony

  • Please inform me about the screen resolution & the device speed & battery ?!

  • What is experience this phone battery..

  • I am more into selfie..so i guess, i want a good phone with a good camera for selfie and a large screen... Bty, thank you for your help.. I understand a bit now bout this whole mediatek snapdragon

  • the battery won't last a whole day, you can't take it out on a trip without power banks, heats up even when you're just browsing you're pictures, often crash,, this phone is just about the camera and the screen, thumbs up to that, but thumbs down when it comes to performace.

  • Camera is quite slow, takes time to open & capture pics, shutter speed is very slow.

  • why?

  • Good..... Best......Better.....Phone

  • what do you mean by " using its operations like iPhone 6s super look" ? the interface looks like iphone 6?

  • Snapdragon is better than Mediatek if you play game. If not, both processor is good enough for daily usage such as web browsing and video. The camera is good for this phone but doesn't mean good for you too. I suggest you try the phone itself and see if like it or not. If you have lot of money, don't go for midrange device like this. Spend your money and go for flagship level. There is lot of flagship that has amazing camera such as LG G4, Xperia Z3/Z4/Z5, Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge/Note 5, iPhone 6/6s and many more. If you still like this phone. I can say that the camera is good and I'm really liked the camera and overall phone experience right now. Try reads the review provided by this website GSMArena about C5 Ultra and see the picture quality. Sorry for bad grammar.

  • I am also using its operations like iPhone 6s super look

  • i am confuse and i was hoping that someone here can help me... I saw this phone last month and to be honest i have fall in love... i am looking for a phone with a great camera, large screen, and good battery... first of all, i am not a gamer... but then i read so many negative comment about mediatek ( which i don't really know the different) snap dragon bal bla bla... so can someone please, just tell me which one is better... and if there is another option or other devices or brand that have a good camera beside sony, please suggest... i am still thinking and i want to spent my money on a good phone without regret.. tq

  • Best phone of the world, i am using this phone for 1 Month, camera, battery, and all features are awesome. if u want to buy smartphone then sony c5 ultra is a great opstion for u. Love u sony for this great smartphone

  • lag / hang / over heating issues?

  • Everything is great on this phone, except the speaker audio i find it underpowered. But its has clear audio output

  • The front camera is has better picture quality than the back camera even both camera 13MP. But the quality of both camera good.

  • Black.

  • 13MP both front and back with LED flash

  • Can anyone give detailed review on both front and back cameras.I need opinions about it.

  • Can anyone give detailed review on both front&back cameras?I need your opinions.

  • hey again sir, last question, what color is your c5? :D

  • well i have no plan for that "rooting", and i haven't bought a fone yet coz im confused what to buy, zen 2 or c5 ultra xD

  • Big screen, good camera, good battery for browsing and music ? Well, all of your choices (zf2 and c5 ultra) really fits you honestly. Why not you buy both ? XD

  • Don't root your new phone if you will do it then say good bye to your warranty. You can do it later but with an expert person in rooting.

  • Which one should I buy Sony Xperia C5 or Sony Xperia Z ultra?

  • sorry for bad englisg, i dont do root and i have no idea what that root is XD i need a phone with big screen, good camera, good battery for browsing and playing music. do you think c5 fits with me?

  • Zenfone 2 is really a good phone for its price. I tried my brother zf2 and the performance is good. 4GB RAM version is really flawless for multitasking. It also more easier to root zenfone 2. C5 ultra didn't have root untill now. If you love flashing custom ROM and root is important to you take zenfone 2.

  • After newest update it takes about 2-3 second to open camera app from lockscreen for me.

  • Camera takes about 4-5 seconds to open also the shutter speed is slow, sometimes you miss those candid moments, apart from that it's a good phone.

  • wow sir u are really a great help to me. i am choosing between this xperia c5 and zenfone 2. tnx again sir. ur awesome ^^

  • Yes there is some graphic glitch. The new update make my phone smoother and fix some bug. There is also users reported that the new update make their phone performance better, camera app open faster and wake up screen also less delay. I didn't care too much about all that as long my phone works fine and not giving me hard time but yeah the new update really improve your phone alot better.

  • sir you mentioned that you're playing GTA SA, do you experience any glitches? and i saw a comment that a new system update came. have you updated ur phone yet? and what does that did after the update? i really appreciate if u reply again

  • 13mp front shooter with led flash is overkill. But totally acceptable. I like it. I still don't like the on screen button. Why Sony? Why?

  • ohh i see.thank u very much. i am confused on this phone coz it has plenty of hatred comments / bash. so i keep asking everyone here one by one so im sure that my money is going to a good phone. and btw ur english is very good

  • There is lag a little bit especially when I browsing website that full of ads but now its okay because I use browser that can block ads. It also have some mini stutters when I fast scroll up and down Whatsapp messages that full of images. Overall, this phone is good and smooth. No heavy lag and no bad stutter. Heat is there in every smartphone. When web browsing, it just warm a bit. 3D gaming heats up this phone (like other smartphone) pretty fast and sometime can be really hot but its normal and I can live with that. The problem right here about heat is when you watch/streaming video. The phone heats up like crazy and it seriously annoys me. Even if I play GTA SA for 2 hours, the temperature is lower than the temparature when watching video for 15 minutes and drain battery like water. Maybe Sony can fix it with next Android version. Overall this phone handles heat quite good (except when watching video) but can be improve much more with software update. About hang. From 1st day I own this phone it never hang at all. I really like the phone and Im really happy with it. The display, camera, performance, battery and sound is good and satisfy me. But to be honest, I dont know if I recommend or not. You should try the phone first and see if it suits you. Also there is a lot of better and cheaper option than C5 Ultra. Sorry for my english if it is bad.

  • Can you please tell me how to use front camera flash on video call.. i could not find any option to turn on flash light during video call..

  • so u'r recommending this phone? how about lag/hang/heating issues?

  • Sorry to hear that. Maybe im lucky to have good unit. I charge my phone using 2A charger and it charges 42%-43% per hour (charging while phone off). The sony charger is too long to charge so I suggest you to use high output charger. It takes about 4-5 hours using sony charger while using high output charger it take 2h 45m. The battery for this phone is pretty good for me. Web browsing with 3G drains 1% per 6mins - 6mins 15 secs with all Stamina Mode on (extended usage, extended standby) Always turn on the stamina mode because it great in improving battery life. If your battery still bad, do factory reset or software repair by PC Companion.

  • Just bought it 3days. Taking a long time to charging battery. 1hrs only 25%. 5minute lost 1% batt even not connect to internet.

  • Yes it has.

  • Man you are talking to a C5U E5533 user :) If you are using the same, tell me about the available RAM when your cellphone was new & now after installing your favourite apps?

  • I want to buy this phone.. but I wanna know that is this phone have 4g network ??

  • I wonder why sony dont make their selfie smartphone available in compact series?

  • it's an amazing phone!

  • 3GB RAM minimum ? So am i buying the wrong phone ? Lol. People like you... Pffft

  • wow sir. just wow, ur reply did convinced me a lot. but what does "Wi-Fi ac" mean?

  • Which one is better z3+ or c5 ? /=

  • pls update on your update :D

  • m little bit cnfuse about z ultra nd c5 ultra.. can anyone tell which one i need to buy...

  • No one can tell you the C5U is better than Zenfone 2 or Zenfone 2 is better than C5U. C5U vs Zenfone 2 6.0" with the same width (79.6 vs 77.2) 13MP selfie with flash Marshmallow (soon) vs Lollipop (no news about Marshmallow) Front single speaker microSD up to 200 GB Zenfone 2 vs C5U Fast battery charging vs around 3hrs of charging 16/32/64 GB, 2/4 GB RAM vs 16 GB 2 GB RAM (If you need to buy a cellphone it should have 32GB 3GB RAM minimum so take the 4GB RAM) Wi-Fi ac

  • Main disadvantages "Wi-Fi lacks a/c support". what is that mean?

  • C5 is good than z3 for selfie

  • my dad gave me this phone, and to tell you honestly yus... this is not worth it... I just got this phone like for 3 weeks now... my battery percentage was 98% then suddenly went down to 4%.. hahahah!! and everytime I played nba 2k14 without any running apps... it keeps lagging when theres a notification, thank god that I wasn't able to buy this phone... kind a little bit pricey for the performance and specs of this handset... I don't know why sony put a mediate chipset for this kind of big and pricey phone... those brand that use mediatek chipset is just for a cheaper price brand like myphone or cherry mobile (philippines)....

  • Yes, I have the same problem when opening playing on album gallery (photo & video). The rest just work fine with me... Anyone know how to fix it?

  • Hi, I want a phone with long battery life and good selfie shot.. may I ask which one do you prefer, Z3 compact or C5?

  • I don't think this phone deserves so much hatred, people are posting illogical comments about overheating, hanging issues, but that's not true, I've been using this beauty since quite some time now & haven't faced a single issue till date. Not trying to be a fanboy here it's just my personal experience which has been great so far.

  • The best phone. Nice 1,,,love it...no problem with it.

  • Does your phone also hangs on album app or while playing video...bcoz my phn hangs on this issue....hope sony wil fix it

  • Does your phone also hangs on album app or while playing video.... Coz my phn hangs..

  • *megapixel

  • just bought the c5 ultra and quite satisfied with its performance, had to choose between c5 and m5 but preferred the c5 for its big screen and sound quality, 13 megaixel front cam with a flash is an advantage, m5 doest have flash infront, though not as crisp in terms of colors, not water and dust resistant but thank God at least its scratch resistant, battery also an edge not heating up while charging,,overall,, a superior phone

  • I'm planning to buy a new phone. I have 2 choices. Sony Xperia C5 Ultra or Asus Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML). Which one should I choose? And please tell me why I should pick it.

  • Yeah I agree with you, camera takes a bit time to open but as you said it can be solved with future update.

  • Sony c5 is the best phone forever.

  • Xperia C5 Ultra vs Zenfone Selfie...please advise..i'm obses in taking picture, browsing web, surfing social media and a gamer

  • Using this phone for like 3 weeks now, the design, screen, battery life, performance, camera, material and build quality, all are truly above expectations. I had two main fears before buying C5 Ultra, first i was afraid of overheating since it has 8 cores running within. Unexpectedly, the device runs relatively quite cold, no overheating issue at all. Then the battery life, it is quite good too, with a relatively heavy usage, it sees 1 day easily. I have only one complaint, the camera application opens a bit late like 2 seconds, probably might get better with future updates. Overall, great phone with a big screen , a joy to use. Also, Gsmarena got it wrongly, the back cover is glass coated, not plastic.

  • How much hours of backup does the c5 gives? Plz suggest

  • Wowwww. Sexy bezel

  • Agreed T2 ultra had much better battery life.

  • is c5 ultra much better than zenfone 2 (4gb ram)? i saw a review of camera and c5 won. how about for gaming? advice pls

  • Bought dis phn bt it has a serious hanging problem in album... Album app hangs alot... Tried to reset the phn bt still same problem continues...

  • why sir? do the xperia have lag problems?

  • Sory typo: 3 from 10 cant read the usim card

  • I work at one of celullar operator in indonesia, when i put in the usim to zenphone 2, 3:10 can read the sim. I dont know why.. May be becase of the usim is thiner than regular sim but only zenphone which is have this problem.

  • T2 Ultra has better battery life than C5 Ultra. It also easier to unlock bootloader, root and install custom ROM, kernel. In other aspects such as performance, camera, display, audio and connectivity C5 Ultra wins.

  • Of course C5 is way better than T2 ultra, which was my previous phone.

  • Sony

  • Isis c5 ultra better then t2 ultra im t2 ultra user i want new 6inch phone so anyone can tell me it might be helpful Thnx

  • You should buy Xperia T5.

  • m5 has the better back camera and c5 has a bigger brighter screen with an amazing selfie camera both are awesome phones now just down to your preference

  • ok bro... thanks for the tip! :) coz im little bit confuse that the free ram that ive got is just only 430mb.. hahhaa! thanks again!

  • No, it doesn't.

  • Brought couple of days back, Phone is good. Battery performance is quite disappointing. Not sure is that due to apps present in that phone, but not even running for 10 hrs for one full charge without much use. it was gone off when the battery level was above 5%.

  • Does it heat up while charging like xperia Z1?

  • Try to disable and uninstall apps that you not use. My C5 Ultra free RAM about 700-870 MB RAM after disable and uninstall apps that I not use. I disable all Sony app because it use RAM too much.

  • Android 5.1.1 rolling out for C5 ultra in October.

  • little bit laggy when i played nba 2k15... how can i expand the RAM memory of this phone...? when i check the free memory in "running" portion, it's just only 430mb... i already closed all the running app..

  • Just bought mine. Battery - good, even when I have only 5 % I can still activate the ultra-stamina mode to call and answers. Camera - good, even in night it will use the flashlight (although not really satisfying enough if you compared to daytimes. Good enough if there is still some lights. Heat up - so far so good. A little heating; but not much like other android phone. Best for selfie and amazing BIG screen.

  • No it isn't.

  • Is sony c5 is water proof?????????

  • Really ? If I'm using stock charger it full charge in 3.5-4 hours. I try to use Samsung charger ( more power ) and full charge from 0-100 in 3 hours 15 minutes

  • After disabling and uninstall unnecessary apps, I get 700-900MB of RAM.

  • I bought this phone 1week ago..great phone!

  • bro go with brand

  • C5 ultra

  • charging speed is very slow.....its takes 6 hour to charge it....

  • How much ram is free to use out of 2gb ram in xperia c5..?

  • I am very very confused between sony c5 and vivo x5pro. Which phone should i go for plz advice me.

  • No issue encountered with Sandisk Extreme Pro 64GB microSD card.

  • Battery charging is super slow due to phone charging circuit/IC. Charging speed is the same when using a high output current charger. Fast battery drain, slow charging rate.

  • you guys actually don't have to argue if a phone heats up, if a phone has a GPU, it will heat up, not all phones are supposed to have gaming processors, it makes the said phones heat up, even tablets that are intended for entertainment heats up, how much more mobile phones :)

  • Nice phone

  • I ve read ur full comments about C5 , what about camera at night time like to know . If u say something abt it .

  • Awesome phn... very good sound quality n camera...... Thanx SONY.

  • Hi. Freind i am using experia c5 about one month.it is my own expereance that every one say it has heating problum but it is wrong.when it was new then it heat somthing even every phone heat up when it new otherwise it is the best in every condition... thanks sony.

  • I think this phone doesn't deserve so much hatred, people are talking about battery & heating issues, c'mon every phone, even high end phones like the M series, Z series, S6, i-phones also heat up while using intensively & have average battery life even the S6 has battery issues & i phones are the worst. Look at the bright side of this beauty, almost bezel less massive 6" full HD screen, great 13MP cameras, good sound quality, excellent call quality, it's a treat to watch movies & play games on this phone.

  • excellent phone but only battery backup is average

  • Hard to say about battery. There is people that satisfied with C5 battery while some doesn't. For me its good if think about the screen size,resolution and the small battery. Sony battery optimization is good in C5 (also all Xperia models) but can be improve more with software update. The Stamina Mode on Sony Xperia models is absolutely amazing. In all time I used my C5 I never turn it off and the performance is not decreasing at all. With Stamina Mode, I have quite good battery life. I can get 2 days and 5 hours SOT ( About 45 minutes of gaming and 20-30 minutes video streaming and the rest is web browsing with 3G. My signal most of the time only half full because bad coverage ) with 25-30 percent of brightness and 3G. I also try to test battery with gaming and I get 7 hours ++ playing Reapers with airplane mode and next test I get 5-6 hours playing GTA San Andreas. My advice is maybe you can wait review for this device and see how the battery if its enough for you. If your last phone has good battery life maybe this phone can't satisfy you that much. Like me my last phone is OnePlus One and the battery life is freaking amazing but C5 Ultra battery life also can make me go 'wow' sometimes.

  • Go for Xperia Z2. Why ? Fast software update, longer battery life, better performance, more RAM, better back camera 21MP, premium build quality, glass design, dual front speaker, easy to root and has custom ROM and kernel. I have used C5 Ultra for 3 weeks and it was amazing device and I love the 6 inch screen. Xperia Z2 is obviously better phone than this C5 unless you like C5 big screen and amazing body to screen ratio. Also C5 is better if you like to take selfie.

  • Yea, it also can support 200GB SD Card

  • I was planning on buying this mobile Should I go for it? Coz my concern is about battery life. Its just 2930 mag

  • Does this phone support USB OTG?

  • guys which pho. is best xperia z2 or xperia C5

  • Gsmarena, Where's Sony Xperia C5 Ultra review?!

  • I've been using C5 Ultra for over 2 weeks and there's no overheating problem. The peak temperature on the phone was 45 degrees Celsius after playing Real Racing 3 for 45 minutes. Here's an overheating test of C5 Ultra : Basically, The AR mask effect applied to both phones, Z3+ camera shut down just after 2 minutes while C5 Ultra went over 1 hour and the tester had to cease the test because it was obvious that C5 Ultra's camera would not shut down cause of overheating.

  • Does it support SanDisk Extreme Pro 64GB or SanDisk Ultra Plus 128GB microSD Cards...? those are high class memory cards and apt for FullHD recordings... with high speed...?

  • This is because some of the space is used for the Operating System (OS) and the pre-installed and native applications, even 32/64 GB storage isn't the same, this is basic stuff dude, you need to be aware of that.

  • Thas normal. All phone like that. 16GB but usable for you only 11 GB

  • It says that it has a 16gb internal memory, but mine was only 11gb

  • Oh. One more thing. I can upload a video to proof you but like I said I don't want to waste my time and I born not to please people like you. I don't want you cry or kill your confident,soul if I show you the proof.

  • I already expect this kind of comment. It's up to you whether to believe or not. I don't waste my time to upload video or whatever to proof it to you. After few days, my phone not warm when browsing with WiFi or 3G and playing games also stay cool all the time (2D and 2.5D games, high graphic games it warm up in 10 mins playing but not a big deal because I do not play too much 3D games)

  • upload video of your issue or this is just a STORY.

  • upload photos of purchase or video of occurrences with your issues or THEY DIDN'T HAPPEN. Trololololol

  • Exactly... yours is a huawei and this is a SONY...so your point comparing is actually useless. Your welcome.

  • upload the video of that occurrence or your just trolling and paid by Samsung. Utterly disgusting!

  • I saw this damn thing yesterday in SM Megamall (Metro Manila) and it is really a great device! Maybe this will become my next one! The best in its class! It can even go compete with flagship phones design wise and with the camera performance too. Overall it will be topped by flagship phones of course but who cares? Benchmarks don't mean everything? What matters is the phone functions well in tasks you throw at it! The screen is so great! The bezels are too thin that helps make the phone so handy at 6 inches! :)

  • The problem with the cheap Mediatek MT6752 which causes alot of heat from it. I had Huawei which has the Mediatek processor got the heat problem.

  • Is this worth to buy?? Does heating prob actually exists??

  • Using stock charger 3-4 hours. I'm using OnePlus One charger and it charge from 0-100 in 3 hours. Stock charger is really slow.

  • It's really surprising that people are posting so many negative comments about this phone, I'm using it since 2 weeks & haven't faced a single issue till date.

  • Dude, I've lots of games & videos on my C5 & they all run with ease what are you talking about??

  • Practically Sony c5 how much time take to full charging

  • it can, but i prefer not to. anyway it has 16gb of internal storage so no need to do that anymore

  • i have xperia z1 it's got some trouble like not charging and auto power off plzz help me..

  • i have xperia z1 it's got some trouble like not charging and auto power off plzz help me..

  • Bought this phone yesterday , mint in color, phone started heating up real bad.. Got it replaced today. And now the same thing, it's heating up so much only near and around the back camera region.. I'm so dissappointed and I feel helpless

  • Yes it can,I bought C5 mainly because of games & videos & it hasn't disappointed me so far. By the way I love to download movies on my C5 & watch them peacefully when I have time.

  • Oh c'mon, you cannot compare a flagship with a mid range device, although C5 is a good phone but it still is no match for for the great Z2.

  • pls tell me which phone is better c5 ultra or z2 anybody plz hlp me i totely confuised,,,,,

  • Hi can the xperia C5 play modern combat 5 or dead trigger 2 or asphalt 8 ??? Anyone ??

  • Yes you can move apps to sd card.

  • Can this C5 ultra instal & move app to SD card?

  • seriously dont consider this phone. video easy to lag... battery not enough... easy heat up. so disappointed.. gonna sell back this phone. even my old model Z ultra is better than this phone 100 times!

  • Which phone by c5 or galaxy a8????

  • Yeah man. Really happy with C5 so far.

  • Same with me but i have no regrets buying C5, it's really a good phone.

  • Agree with what you said about Samsung A8. Unfortunately for me because A8 is more expensive than C5 in my country so I had to buy C5.

  • Yeah, I agree. This phone sucks because long charging time. I had to use my Samsung 2.1A charger and it charge my C5 in 2 hours 45 minute. It still long but all xperia models also take long time to charge

  • Thank for the "goodluck". I just managed to get 7.5 hours of gaming with this phone

  • Sony C5 is very bad phne & bateery charging is very slowely 4-5 hours bateery full charge Samsung a8 is very very best & good phne

  • guys I just brought a c5 today with mint colour... a little bit upset coz the white color no stock... 2 week i waited... but its OK. I like this phone very much.. nice camera but when I used the camera the battery start to heat.. n its just a normal heat

  • Samsung galaxy a8 would be a better option anytime. It has got an amazing metallic look and also has a small screen which would be easier to use and carry. The camera quality is also better than c5.

  • Octa core in Li-Ion 2930 mAh battery? Goodluck.

  • we have the same problem.. is your stamina mode activated?? i encounter the same problem with yours when i activate the stamina mode

  • C3 has great battery timing far better than c4 and c5 but overall c has no match compare 2 these phone sony has really made the graphics quality better than z1 they put the arts in mid range phone

  • I was also confused between the two but finally bought C5 as I was blown away by it's design n' size. A8 is also a good phone better than C5 in terms of storage & battery but it doesn't have notification LED, front cam flash & speaker is also not good. So far C5 has really been a great phone.

  • yes agreed... the 'no bezel' c5 awesome..i buy this phone just for that..hahha
