Sony Xperia E5 - User Reviews

  • Same here. The rear and front camera are horrendous. I've never seen such bad quality images from a 13mp camera.

  • Pretty okay for the price I guess, but there's better phones you can find for the price of this one. First seems to work fine, but I immedietly noticed that charging took a lot longer and the battery drained very fast. Some apps like snapchat can cause the phone to overheat pretty badly, the camera also makes this weird click noise everytime you use it. Battery problems happen a lot, sometimes it will run out of battery while you're charging it. Pretty slow and the camera isnt all that great.

  • This is by far the worst Sony i have ever owned. Rear camera is pathetic. Apps closes by itself. freezes frequently.

  • This phone is excellent value for money,,, Camera is fine, Battery longevity is OK, Smooth operation, Good size, So please stop moaning about it,,,,,,,

  • I was used this phone as 1 year. In that one year I was had aprox 30 app and use them a lots of and phone are still working fine...only problem are display becouse is burn aprox 3 cm becouse of heating. Still best buy and never betray.

  • the camera is trash the phone is slow compared to sumsang j5 but im keeping it anyway.

  • How do you even overcharge anything? Does it bring vader back to life or what?

  • Never make it a joke dude ;)

  • I’ve had 3 Nokia phones,, first one lasted 23 months ,broke glass and other faults Insurance send me replacement ,,that was faulty,, sticking,,, second replacement, after 2 weeks , black screen for 10 hours then started. ,,lasted 3weeks stalled again ,now replaced with a Sony E5 ,, in scared to set it up after reading comments,, ,I have to pay each time to have it set up as I’m disabled,, please any advice ,out there

  • It has temperature issues while paying any game making the battery drain really quick,I switched to the xiaomi note 5 plus and has better performance,battery.camera and better temperatures for nearly the same price.Would not recommend getting this phone

  • this camera are dslr!!!

  • Same here E5.. :P :)

  • This phone is worser than Soyes s7

  • I have a Sony Xperia E5 myself and I am enjoying it. I am wondering if it can overcharge?

  • av been enjoying my E5 until now.kindly assist with remedy to this issue as the device just started disappearing contact. sometimes its takes about 15minutes to access contact and call logs

  • why this phone go very hot and battery is so bad

  • sony is one of the best phones l have used. easy to use. try one and see for yourself

  • The Sony Xperia E5 is a superb lightweight easy to use phone and a good size for people with large hands. After using this phone for 5 months I have grown to love the speed and memory of the phone and last but not least the battery life which can last days if managed correctly which is handy when out camping. For the price of just over £100 you get a lot for your money, previous phones I have used are Samsung and Nokia which were built strong although, the Sony Xperia is built with fragile material therefor it scratches easy and I'm always worried about dropping it I recommend a case for anyone looking to get this phone. Finally, the phone is stylish sleek, while also having a decent camera (not the best) so if you're looking for a phone that is cheap, reliable and powerful I 100% recommend this phone to everyone. I hope this helps to make a decision. Extra notes: - The phone isn't waterproof but does alright in the rain - The volume and power buttons click when pressed (slightly loud when trying to be quiet) - The battery isn't removable - You can play Pokemon go on the phone - The glass doesn't scratch easy but the back does against rocks and hard surfaces - It takes approx between 2 and 3 hours to charge from dead to 100% battery using the charger it comes with using other chargers will take longer, Also the phone only comes with a USB (at least it did with mine) so you might need to get a charging adapter.

  • I would not buy a Sony phone! I have tried two different models the last being a E5 and both have ceased up. Just get a black screen. Tried all the tricks given on the site and forums, but no response. If it happens on just the one phone, fair enough, but both must be a fault with the manufacturer.

  • The battery life is not good at all. It cannot even last me 10hours. With no music,videos, nor games

  • The camera is trash. I doubt it's 13mp. It can't match my previous Acer jade s56. For a phone released in 2016 with such bad camera it's a big disappointment

  • My has broken after four month, and sonymobile service wants more money for repair then it was worth. They dont want also explain, if the cause was poor quality or my fault.

  • 3/10 (1) worst camera ever cant autofocus and i have to do it manually i have to clik on screen the item i want to take picture video quality is awful the "13" MP instantly become 4 (2) touch screen is very bad DONT BUY

  • awesome

  • i don't see why everyone is saying the E5 isn't good, i have had about 10 different phones in a month before i got this. my luck will phones isn't good they always break or something goes wrong. i got the E5 not long ago and its amazing, yes the phone does get hot but the solution to that is don't spend hours and hours on apps, or watching videos any phone is the same. id recommend this phone to anyone who.

  • i think to buy Sony XZ1 i really lv it as now aim using sony Z5 i think its a better idea to upgrade to XZ1

  • Rooting status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No That's the reason why i can unlock the bootloader and root my device...Does anyone know how to change to YES!?

  • Hi there try these sites (links below) I successfully rooted my f3311 E5. Just make sure to put supersu on the sd card as a zip file. also have a look at the you tube site .Remeber you must unlock the Bootloader from the sony website (free just follow instructions).This method is the only way to root E5 do not try any of the other methods on you tube.They Just dont work!!! hope this helps. :-)

  • I try everything but it won't work... :(

  • I try everything to root my phone but it won't work. :(

  • Get another van.

  • Just go to the official page of Sony developer and follow all the instructions :D

  • Please help! Rooting status: bootloader unlock allowed: No. How can i turn into yes? Does anyone know?

  • I have just got a Experia E5 and the last phone I had was a standard Doro, so I expected a full instruction booklet telling what to do. No there is not one with the phone and when I was told by Videophone to get it up on the internet and print it off it would not do this, but I could send for one for about £12. How disappointing and what a ripoff. I am quite worried now after reading some of the other comments. Oh well we live & learn.

  • Why was it the worst phone you had, and for how long do you own j5?

  • But, STAMINA MODE limits the performance to a certain limit.

  • Hello, my mine's not.. just activated your STAMINA function when playing game or watching movies and your phone can lived for 8+hours without charging but absolutely you'll get your notification late.. don't forget to turn off the STAMINA again when you've done.. So dishonestly, this phone doesn't have Gyroscope.. i had a VR but it's useless now and this phone cannot play on Extreme Graphic game, just stay on Low Graphic or Normal..

  • Never get a sony phone. Had the e3 and it was the worst phone ever. Now i got the j5 2016 and it runs like a charm

  • So get a Huawei, man!

  • but Samsung sucks at features. it's so poor, compared to functionality other phones have

  • Lol, J5 was updated from 5.1 to 6.0 and there's a rumor it's going to be updated to 7.0. J5 2016 will receive 7.0 sometime later this year. How's that for Samsung not caring about it's midrange phones?

  • Bluetooth does not work in my new Ford Van. The rest of my family have Huawei phones, and they all work in the van

  • Okay :D thanks for your opinion! I am really considering J5 at the moment :)

  • Okay :) Thanks a lot!

  • check in few days mate, I just bought it today, I'll let ya know.

  • I suggest you should choose Samsung Galaxy J5. It's better than the Sony Xperia E5. Many would prefer Samsung Galaxy J5, but it's just a suggestion. No hard feelings. Cheers!

  • Hey y'all I would like your honest opinion (don't base your arguments upon hate or unsatisfactory performance of the product). I am currently looking for a cheap phone with good qualities and I came across this Sony Xperia E5 and the Samsung Galaxy J5. Both of them interest me because of the camera, easy to use and the processor. Which one do you think it's better? I really don't mind the price. I have seen a review of these 2 but the guy always seemed to like better the Samsung Galaxy J5. Is it really better than the Xperia E5? Please give me your honest opinions on which one is better, that would help me a lot!! Cheers!

  • the flash

  • The Sony Xperia E5 is a good phone for me, I have no complaints about it...

  • A totally rubbish phone that I have had to send back for repair 5 times. Always the same fault. The internal speaker does not work and I have to put it on to speaker phone. So much for a private conversation. Not except able at all. The camera is rubbish and you just cant take good pics what ever you do. I would not recommend anyone buy this phone ever. Spend a bit more and get something like the Samsung 7 not necessarily the edge hubby just got one and he is really happy with it and says it gives the iphone a run for its money.

  • the reason is because sony have the worst camera phone

  • Why is the camera so bad on this phone, even taking photos on 8MP (4:3) manual mode, and compared it to my Z2 with the same camera settings, and E5 fails to capture clear photo, do I have a faulty device or is Sony too lazy to support OTA update on this device??

  • why sony make very small battery that enough for 5 6 hours and goes to 10% and why people still buy this phones?

  • you can install stick mount to make your device otg capable and hdd capable, but it requires you to root your device

  • Try to go to Manual Mode. Change the exposure value. It helps to take a good photo at night

  • chip is nxp ?

  • It's not otg capable

  • The 13mp camera isn't very clear and I don't know how to make it better at night especially

  • No, it doesnt have a gyroscope.

  • how can i prolong the battery on the sony xperia e5

  • Its a quite good smartphone. Has an incredible camera. But it doesnt support usb and number of sims is 1. Overall it is a good smartphone

  • Yes

  • dont have support

  • no l have one Sony xa but e5 better.because e5 no waterprof

  • The phone is really good for the price allthogghthere are a few downsides its actually very good but go for a more expensive iphone because thats what I wish I did before I took out a 2 year contract but its defo good for now, better than Samsung j5 2016 at the same price range

  • you lucky, I bought me one and it's the worst one I've had

  • Best phone I ever had. No trouble at all:-)

  • bennito my advise is,ur phone have 24 month warraty so take ur phone to ur nearest sony branch they will help u but call greenconnect first.i also had the same problem.

  • When playing Audio music it just stops the music when press the play button it will pay for 2 seconds and it stops again, i have asked greenconect to chage the phone and they did but still it does the same thing then i don't know what to do please help

  • I bought it 6 month ago from Argos. It started not charging from non quality cable. Not recommended!!

  • is the xperia e5 otg capable?? im planning to buy one.. thanks

  • Dude Xperia E5's battery is 2300mah. Of course it will drain fast. Smaller battery capacities will drain faster.

  • I just bought this Sony Xperia, and just started using it, but the problem i have is that the battery drains very, very quick i was just watching a one-minute video and it went from 91 to 89% what is the problem with it?

  • Sony says 2300 and you're saying others mention 2700!!!! Lol maybe those noobs are the creator of E5 not sony

  • im googling the battery capacity of E5 and the the half of the websites says 2700mah battery the other half says 2300mha. which one is right? is there 2 versions in the market? sonys website says 2300.. but y there are so many reporting 2700?

  • Is it ok if i charge my phone just up to 90%? Or will it do 1 cycle?

  • Does this phone have gyroscope sensor?

  • s2peeeed, do not compare flagship to a midrange phone, so tell me now, do they have the same price??!!! no right? go to school and study

  • If you put it in a plastic bag then yes.

  • No...

  • Not at all.

  • Is this phone waterproof/water resistant?

  • Does this phone support otg cable or USB host feature?

  • Do not buy sony phones, they charge higher prices in their phones, we get much better quality phones within the same price range of other brands.

  • Htc 630 vs SONY E5 ?

  • li -ion batteries work better when you are not used to the end 0%,but most to 25 % and then put the battery to charge75-90% , ( why?) lithium-ion batteries have a rated lifetime of somewhere between 500 and 1,500 charge cycles. so if it reach 100% or less then 25% then it lose 1 cycle.(the user runs it down all the way to zero before recharging) can degrade to 70 percent of its original capacity in 300-500 cycles With a DoD of 25 percent, where the user plugs it in as soon as it gets to 75 percent remain, that same battery could be charged up to 2,500 times before it starts to seriously degrade. Charge a little bit whenever you can. Lithium-ion batteries don't respond well to being charged all the way up and then run all the way down. They take much better to little bits of charge here and there. What's far more dangerous to a battery's well-being is heat. Lithium-ion batteries despise heat. Battery consumption depends on the applications you have installed on the phone and working in the background even if you do not use the phone. such as; facebook instagram messenger if you delete these apps and use them through the browser , thus saving up to 40% of the battery (day)life , the display put on minimum brightness and wi - fi, 3G, bluetooth, use it when you need

  • i Am currently experiencing battery problem, since Yesterday i made the phone sleep on the charger, and Yet It Can't charge. im Realy disappointed in This Model,Please advice what must i do to maake my phone charge Quick.

  • A3 better exynos 7580 4 core better gpu more premium will get android 7 battery life more better by a long way

  • xperia E5 yes

  • of course e5 if you buy a3 you would be disapointed e5 is great graphics too

  • I experienced battery drains from 100% to 95% while not using it through out the day, let's say without 4 hours of use, also the camera is poor, but it's ota system update does improve camera quality, but I accidentally dropped mine on the floor and camera recording doesn't function properly.

  • Sony Xperia E5 or Samsung Galaxy A3 ?

  • How do you compare a Sony Xperia E5 with a OnePlus 3T? // This is a low-midrange phone. Sorry if I'm misunderstood, but OnePlus 3T is a FLAGSHIP, don't expect E5 to have the same performance as the 3T.

  • Love Sony ,its like totally perfect #biggest f@n

  • Sony is the best like this phone I mostly prefer e5 so sony keep up the good work

  • how do I delete twitter from my phone please?

  • should i get this or galaxy j3 ?

  • Why people are anti-Sony? Comparing Sony E5 to Huawei P8 and Xperia XZ to A5.How can you compare aflagship to mid range.Sony XZ vs iPhone 7 & Samsung S7 - Sony excell in camera,(lowlight,night with no flash bright colours ) in all areas Sony XZ is the winner compared to iPhone and Samsung except its batery life, and is a bit cheaper than both phones so to anti Sony fans please guys know your facts Sony has also triple sensors which makes it the last man standing.

  • How is battery nd camera performance. Tell the truth please

  • Sold this sh!tty e5 phone and bought One plus 3t SIM free off o2, all Sony phones are useless with cheap made mediatek processor.

  • Try the manual settings in the camera app.

  • buy the E5 for sure, the p8lite is not even a smartphone, E5 is better.

  • yes camera is terrible and very dark on the open place, indoor too much noise on picture and bad focus

  • p8lite far better

  • would you buy the e5 for 75 or would it worth to invest in the p8 lite for 105 euros?? opinios please!!

  • would you buy the e5 for 75 or would it worth to invest in the p8 lite for 105 euros?? opinions please!!

  • oh come on, the battery is ridiculously 2300 mAh but why this phone can't be thinner. 7.0 or 7.3 mm maybe (don't bother telling me about lcd type of screen as the reason)

  • Right here is the thing I have had a Sony E4G since launch, it has been a solid workhorse and still is, and is performing the way it did since day one, now I was fancying upgrading it and was looking at this E5 is it worth the upgrade? I am not a solid app user just FB, Whatsapp and youtube that is really all I use on a regular basis.

  • 2300 ma everywhere for sure..

  • This phone is not released in Indonesia, besides i like this phone By the way, which battery capacity is right 2300 mAh or 2700 mAh ?

  • Z3 is definitely better.

  • Help...sony xperia z3 or xperia e5

  • Problem with this phone is you can't hear people unless switched to speaker phone. How can that be solved?

  • Okay.

  • Better display, Dude the E5 has a IPS display and the J3 has Amoled display the IPS display is far supereur over de Amoled panels.

  • J3 for better battery and display, everything else e5 is better.

  • I want to know which is better Sony e5 or Huawei P8 Lite

  • Which one is better Xperia E5 or Samsng J3 2016?

  • I am very happy with the products of sony xperia, besides its design is very nice and I think is perfect, but when viewed from the selling price, I think it's very expensive and high, just try a lower price certainly a lot of orng who want to have this gadget

  • And that doesn't mean that Xperia E5 is overpriced, the xeiomi redm...... price is extremely cheap and this is so weird.

  • Does anyone have a problem with excessive heating of the phone during operation and rapid wear of the battery

  • You can buy a Xiaomi Redmi 4 Pro for like €10 more than what this E5 cost. With Snapdragon 625, FHD screen and 4100 mAh battery (double).

  • why is sony releasing all these smartphones with so little battery???? sony you make good phones except for your tiny batteries!

  • i was waiting for this phone, but they are not launching it in India. sony has suffered losses in mobile division they are will be only selling few modals and wont be concentrating much in india. waited for 3 months, finally purchased Moto G Turbo, had used 2 sony phones before. kind of sad.

  • Can anyone here please, who has the reliable information tell me whether this phone ever going to enter the Southeast Asian market? I thank you for your most humane response and have a nice phone day you all.

  • Problem with radio, not working, no sound on headphones... I've tried to use headphones when skyping... not working

  • same question for India.

  • When will it be available in the Philippines?

  • Sony doing this deliberately to stop us modifying our phones system that's why I'd always buy a phone with snapdragon chipset and do whatever I like, deleting bloatwares, rooting, and installing third party softwares.

  • Silient sound and battery not good. Short time talk time and standby. Not good Sony Mobile Phone in 2016. Technical not good!!!

  • please.haw i do make all in arabic language

  • why isn't available in philippines??

  • Why mediatek why

  • Don't use the MTP option... I can't recall it though but there's another option where you can use that allows all and the storage will definitely show up on your laptop.

  • You may well find the same problem on many phones now I believe several countries changed the laws covering totally silent cameras and phones with cameras for privacy protection reasons. Gone are the days when you can use a phone to take sly photos of the girl behind you on the buss while faking making a call

  • what games did you try on it bud? coz I want to buy this one

  • When I plug this phone into my laptop, I want to transfer files as I always do with my Android phones. So I choose MTP option, and yet the SD card on the phone does not show up in File Manager on my laptop.

  • Well It is pretty good if you ask from me. Everything is working good. There is not 2300 mAh there is a bit more (like 2500-2900) Games are not lagging. People who say something about android nougat, it is coming out for sony early noxt year (January or February) Desgin-4/5 Speed-4/5 Camera-3/5 screen-4/5 Battarey-3/5 There is no problem with this phone for me, and i think it was worth the 199.99 that i paied for this phone.

  • Had the same on two different E5 devices It really has a problem Sony has to find a solution on this

  • I experienced the same, must be a hardware issue which Sony can't fix camera lowlight shots. I doubt they'll be an update to rectify this problem. I might trade this in or sell it off.

  • If u r in ireland.. Its now for €149.99 in argos.. Tomorrow i'm going to get mine one😍😍😍&#­128525;😍😍

  • My bad experience with Sony I bought this phone in Ireland and there was no headset in it quickly brought to store where I bought,they opened a new one for me and no headset also in it(for the first time I saw a mobile without headset) Then I accepted as it is.In the first time usage I saw that after a short time when you turn on camera in an application (I tried in skype-hangouts-whatsapp photo) it goes very dimm(the front camera) I thought it is maybe the apps but ran its own diags and theproblem was also there.I think the more it is used the darker the cam goes in the apps.I brought the phone back and refunded.I am not sure if it was only on that device but it was also very dimm on their store display device as well.So didnt buy same model again.

  • Its hardly to believe that what Sony is going to do right now? First of all separate with Ericsson (very teasing still date) & now closed all mid range smartph. Above of all now not launching any new smartph in India. Sony Xperia E5 was most awaited ph here in Indian fans. I went to my shop & asking & asking & asking for Sony Xperia E5.. know u ppl what shopkeeper said to me - Why u want a Sony's ph which is almost sink? I m Sony user from starting just have a look - Sony Ericsson J100i, K750i, W580i, J105i which is also known as "Naite" then Sony Xperia M Dual, E3 Dual, E4 Dual, E4G Dual & now just awaiting for E5 but it has been not launched here in Indian market till date after releasing of several month. Hats Off Sony.

  • I have issue with the screen,I saw something a white flash across the screen, could be a screen burn like Samsung galaxy devices with Amoled display, can someone confirm whether it's the phone issue or if it's my eyesight?

  • I bought this phone, and everything seemed to be ok, EXCEPT that my built in camera did not really have volume control - but, at least, it was silent, when I turned to silent mode. However, when I switched to a different carrier, even that has changed, and camera is now ALWAYS making a noise when I click the shutter, even in "Total Silence" mode. I have contacted the help support, and got a reply that there must be a sound control option in the built in camera, and told me where it is in the camera menu - hey, I am not stupid, it was not there before. I checked again the way they told me to, and of course, there is no option there to change camera shutter volume, or even camera shutter sound! I am very unhappy about this, as the company is unable to deliver what is promised to the users, and is unable to provide adequate help to the users. This is my first time bying Sony brand phone, and seems, THE LAST TIME. I will go back to LG. The only good thing about Sony was battery life, however, my old phone just had an old battery (aged with use, of course). I am sure, new models of the competitor brands, including LG, have even better batteries now. To the phone, one of the most important things to me is CAMERA use, and internet use. Other things, even calling itself, come in second.

  • shanhameed, Sony does not use corning gorilla glass

  • So initially after using this phone for some time randomly the camera started making a buzzing sound when recording does anyone have a fix thanks

  • may i know Sony E5 Is it display Gorilla Class? please anyone tell me

  • The camera is very dark when using a third party applications, does anyone has this problem?

  • i found this phone smooth, good battery life, good camera for this price. im happy to have this phone than a series and j series which lags at games

  • I also have recently bought the Sony E5 phone, which I really regret. This is my fourth Sony phone, but it \'s the worst one yet! It has a useless battery ....... it's more on the charger than actually in operation. A really crappy phone!!! Do NOT buy this phone!

  • I recently bought an Xperia E5 and I like everything of it. The battery life isn't that bad for me. One thing I noticed is that the charger emits a high-pitch buzzing noise when I use the phone (screen on). I already got the charger replaced, but it's still hissing when using the screen. Am I the only person with this problem?

  • What are you using your phone for? It lasts up to 2 days, it's kind of impossible to me.

  • Sim card slot like any other phone and SD card slot (dedicated) 256 GB

  • Can the sony Xperia E5 use a micro SD sim card, as im transfering from a samsung galaxy to the sony Xperia? First time of getting this phone.

  • Root required or not

  • Yes you can. Use luckypatcher you can transfer installed apps from internal memory to SD card, although the apps can be unstable there after. You can do pretty much anything you like on Android because theyre so breakable.

  • No it is not avilable so i decided to buy z3+

  • This Phone has 2700Mah

  • Anybody can tell when it'll available for sell in Indian market? Eagerly waiting for Sony Xperia E5 but its delay to delay, don't know why?

  • absolutely, 100% satisfaction with this handset!

  • i bought the yesterday and i can say im satisfied. negative comments usually from haters. try to visit sony shop first before deciding.

  • I've had this for 5 weeks and I traded this phone for Moto G4 because the Xperia E5 was not listed for nougat update, and the phone came out quite recently. It's a shame most of all Sony's E range phone's never gets update :(

  • U still dos't understand my point. Thats what I m saying that u can't installed any Google's apps in external sd card in any Android operating system smartph, no matter of version. Its installed in internal memory; in ur Samsung Galaxy Ace also; check it carefully. But after installation of apps u may transfer some data portion of apps in external sd. Anyway, I m eagerly waiting for Sony Xperia E5. Anybody have news to launching it here in India, kindly tell.

  • Is this phone rootable? I want cyanogenmod installed.

  • i had samsung galaxy ace, and on that phone you coul install apps and games on the micro sd card

  • is it good to use? because I was thinking for an upgrade to E5 with Virgin here in UK :)

  • I recently bought this phone, is an OK phone, battery doesn't last long, it's says LTE/4g I'm on 02 signal totally crap,only has 3 settings for network, 4g/wdcm, or GSM or wdcm no 3g, would I be better changing networks,

  • Does e5 has brighter display like e4g?

  • Watch this

  • you will might get hard to play heavy games if you have this phone for gaming. because: 1. it runs marshmallow, 2. it got 294 ppi and xlarge screen, 3. it's 64-bit device, 4. but its ram is 1.5 gb marshmallow with that display's specification and 64-bit cpu will consume its ram about 1 - 1.3 GB

  • The battery is awful the phone takes 5 hours to charge and most new phones come with fast charger, ffs Sony it's 2016!!!

  • How long would its battery last if you played a few games on it.

  • I was a little impatient as I had no choice to buy this Xperia E5 to replace my rooted Moto G LTE (peregrine) which the screen was smashed. So I did a research on Xperia E5 and the bootloader for the device isn't listed on Sony developer website, probably of Sony restrictions on rooting. I feel this phone will lack OTA system update, unofficial development, custom ROMs etc, so I advise people who's into rooting stay away from Sony and buy a mid range Motorola or Google Nexus.

  • hi, I'm from one of the UK's best mobile provider, from release date up until this day, customers has/had been askin for Samsung or apple, but when it comes to those users who ask for better quality of phones, we fully suggest them to take Sony phones instead of those leading brands for it will give them the performance of one handset they've been askin, now, when it comes to this phone, from its price range I could actually tell you this is the best among those ranging £140-£200 price of phones

  • Really like this phone, it is great, the battery is not poor at all, it lasts up to 2 days for me. The camera is great. I think this is one of the best phones in this price range.

  • The phone overall looks gorgeous and elegant, but in terms of cpu and ram it is not so good. There are devices with more good hardware at the same price.

  • Great design,one of the beautiful sony phone, but poor battery life.

  • Very good phone!

  • i take cell

  • great phone allround

  • Me too

  • already got mine last august.totally disappointed with this phone specially with the battery and the camera.

  • Mt6735 is better then snapdragon 615 or 410

  • Don't look at negative comments. Any Sony phone is superb. Buy and don't worry.

  • dont buy a phone yet because android n is here and this phone is in mashmallow and sony phone are not good these days! mediatek is not good and the battery life is low! snapdragon and exynos chipset are trusted so buy a phone with that chipset and try to avoid mediatek! but this design is elegant

  • Hi does this phone have a notification light thanksx

  • I've had it for 3 weeks, no complaints so far, go for it

  • Baaaaaaaaaaaad battery life. can't sony see that androlags need bigger battery???

  • Sony brand kindly improve ur handset quality and display size.. Give minium 5.5inch that is impressive look phone and ur bttry life is so weak and all phone is out of budget.. Among those range features phones

  • i really think of getting this phone ofr my birthday and i dont know if i should please ket me know .

  • The xa doesn't have a curved screen

  • What is volte call?

  • ha....... lte band 40 (2300) is not available. so you can't make volte call in india

  • XA has 720p display and less power hungry processor And XA is a 5-incher! 2300 mah is Big enough for XA you reject to some brainwashing of some reviewers:) If you love the CURVED display with impressive performances and stunning TWO cameras and realistic colour reproduction ; then XA is the BEST BUY:)

  • Is it available in indai?? Waiting for this one cause xa battery is not good and cannot afford other Sony xperia

  • Buy xperia x, if you can't pay the price stick with your z3 until the price drop.

  • Battery life is good

  • This phone is very good I have it and it works fine

  • This phone may be a little bit overpriced, but for the quality, you can trust Sony on that. My z3 works smoothly until now, and i was just thinking if I'm going to buy this phone or the xperia xa...☺

  • It costs more as well

  • Samsung fan also. Lol.

  • is lie, the battery is of 2300 mAh

  • Poor battery quality and the camera is horrible... heating problems also

  • You are right. I have xperia m 3 years old. Which is working properly

  • I want to buy this phone as a basic text and chat user, while occasionaly browsing the web, using facebook and watching youtube videos. I dont intend to use it for gaming. How good is it overall? How does the phone feel like? How good is the performance overall? Thanks.

  • Wow. I liked your comment very much. Thank you for saying the truth. Yes. Sony is the best. My Z3 works very smooth till now. Buying Sony means that you pay an extra price once and enjoy longer.

  • it is to better than other phone so there is no phone made which is compare with sony phone

  • Xperia e5 is better in gaming. My brother have j5 16 gta is not working perfectly

  • Some people say battery not good, and other says excellent, i believe it is very good, because 720 p display with 2700 mah is more than average and definitely not poor.

  • for xa 2300mah for e5 2700mah

  • J5 2016 batter 1000 times than E5

  • Battery life is more than average... two days of using - movies, internet,... I'm quite satisfied

  • J5 2016 batter 1000 times than E5

  • Quess who? Lol sony of course! Search sony e5 at sony page and there you will see..

  • What about battery life?

  • I don't know, that's why ask, is there any E5 users?plz anser my quation

  • Which one should you believe???

  • What is the battery capacity 2300 mah or 2700mah,some people are say it has 2300 mah, but gsm areana say 2700mah, who is cottect?

  • Still not available in sri lanka

  • when it is available in the market?

  • From my experiences, I can tell that sony mid range and entry phones are only good looking. For their specs, they are mostly (or always) overpriced and software support is low for Mid rangers and not even exsisting for low end phones. So in my opinion, you can get a way better Xiaomi phone or an old flagship.

  • When come to Asian market? Sony is very slow motion.

  • E5 is better. It is cheaper and Despite having a mediatek processor rather than a snapdragon, sony optimized it well.

  • Plz sombody tell me the launch date of this phone...,

  • Which phone is better j5 or this i am going to buy this phones, tell me plz

  • Please somebody tell me that when will sony lauch e5 in india... I m waiting for it from june.....i m a sony fan but its marketing stretergies frustrates me it takes 3 to 4 months to launch a phone after announcing it...other manufactures hardly take 1 or 2 weeks...,

  • Sorry i forgot to put the link :))))

  • Hi dear developer, you forgot to mention the vedio that i wanted. Please don't forget this time.

  • Sony xperia E5 "1.5 GB ram" vs Samsung Galaxy j5 2016 "2 GB ram" gaming performance. GTA part is the purpose of this video.

  • hi guys i want to buy a new phone is this phone worth the money (iam worried about the 1.5Gb ram)

  • Yeah bro u dont need a phone whitout installin nothing Lol best phones of all time is "NOKIA 310"

  • No, c'mon, what do you mean "Motorola lag free because nothing installed on it"? why would you have a smartphone then anyway? beats me, i don't understand the logic here :) i mean, smartphone is like mini PC, but to not use that option... maybe you also do not use the internet on your smartphone. smart choice, eh... however, is a choice i cannot afford. so i want my phones to be full of apps and still lag free. simple :)

  • Dude my xperia z is 3 years old, i complete exhausted it with biggest game, memory full games no lag no issues, sony is really care about their costumers, she is the king of quality.

  • Sorry, but if you buy an 500+ euro android smartphone you expect to be lag free. Try it in a year or two, I doubt it will be lag free..oh wait, in a year or two you have to buy S8 and S9 smartphones to be lag free.. yeah, it's not worth it. I have a Motorola E (last version) updated to Android 6.0 and is lag free, because I don't have anything install on it :)) Seriously now, depends what you do with your phone.

  • This is dual sim and OTG support? (i am from Indonesia)

  • This is dual sim and otg support?

  • Is this phone good for gaminv

  • Very true man. Samsung will suck after few months. Even flagship ones.

  • Better off getting a Samsung J5 or A5 to be honest with you

  • Samsung never been better than sony especially in quality or even same, Samsung devices especially the low priced are disaster, you may find a lot of fun in first few months after that consider a lot of troubles.

  • Hello guys I want to buy sony xperia e5 I live in Cyprus this is phone there is €220 So please tell me your idea This phone is good or bad? Samsung is better than xperia e5??

  • Plz make new design n new Ui..we love Sony..We need newwwww

  • Yes. Sony don't lag. But Samsung and LG are super laggy. HTC isn't bad too.

  • My Xperia Z2 is lag free, I really don't know how lag samsung phone are, but you tell us already.

  • I used some Sony phones. They don't lag at all. But Z3 is really great phone.

  • all xprria e series are bad phone. Thay are a big lag. these phones eat lag , drink eror. And ...... for us. sony just xperia z3/z2

  • Go to 3310, 101% lag free

  • The reason you think android is not lag free is cuz you have not used high end phones lile s7 edge or being a Samsung user never tried xperia They ARE lag free

  • Don't buy E5. Go for Microsoft phone, its lag free.

  • Is it available in india cause Im waiting for this one

  • Dude any phone within the price of iphone should not lag, still many people saying iphone doesn't lag iphone best performance... When did iphone release low end devices, or at least a phone lower than 500$, they got this reputation because of they only release flagships and because of super light os and the lack of many user experiences including sd card... So iphone should be the best performance, but the funny thing is that iPhone with their all restrictions many android devices performance became almost similar to iphones, so where are they going with their restrictions???

  • Sony phones don't lag at all.

  • U should remember everyone doesn't use Iphone.. So android is the best choice to share apps related things.

  • I'm no fan I own a samsung but if u want a lag free phone then you need an iphone no android phone is lag free.

  • The slim width for user who with small hand who prefer to use phone with singled hand is the only selling for sony phone now. Yes huawei are better pricing and specs but the smallest p9 lite or honor 5c 5.2inch are a big junk for me as i can't form a round circle with my middle finger reaching my thumb. So still i like sony for the xperia ui and slimness.

  • Can I play offline song on samsung device by "Track Id" app?plz give me directions.

  • Hahaha make up your mind which one you promoting, plus those are 1St year throw aways. Sony is Quality and Performance cells.

  • Motorola e3 Lg k8/k10 samsung j seriese Huwaei Honor 5X Are better than E5

  • Nokia Symbian & Sony Ericsson (Java Keyboard phone) UI are better than android. beautiful menu and icon,Install very app on SD,Better File Manager,an app for symbia is 5mb no 50mb.

  • More ram don't always mean better. Good CPU and well optimised software required at least to work better. Sony's UI is very well optimised and never lag. 3GB ram is enough for Sony.

  • A gimmick of 6 GB Ram, If it is still lag and slow loading all the time. It is possible the 10GB Ram is needed.

  • If you want lagfree phone buy Sony and never think again.

  • wat we want is social apps & games should not lag niether phone so we, whenever see phone specifications wid lower ram we get scared so the coments r here for 6GB, buyers don no software & hardware coz they say fck off we want gud product bcoz v r indians

  • Lower range smartphone and not a flagship..... you get what you pay for.....in this case you get quite alot

  • Tooo slow and laggy

  • Is it have over heating problem like m4,z2 .3?

  • How come theres no earphones out of the box?

  • Do not think about 6gb of ram can handle more multitasking. I even comparing chinese smartphone with samsung and sony phones which is running on 1 or 2 gb of ram but still the result is awesome while multitasking. Chinese smartphone just can handle gaming but still lags on social media apps which is offer bigger ram compare to 1-2gb ram samsung and sony. Because the rom are optimizing well compare to chinese rom that consuming more ram.

  • Wow..what a dumb comment. Ever heard of hardware software integration? If that is good what will u do with gigantic ram? Showoff? Infact many phones deliberately put in more ram than necessary to attract halfwits like you. Oneplus 3 has 6 gigs of ram and iphone 6s has just 2 gb. Still the latter is faster. Dont make comments with half baked knowledge.

  • And 6GB ram phone can lag but Sony won't lag. Don't you see the difference? It is because of great optimisation.

  • 6gb ram? what for? If software is optimized well 1.5 gb ram is enough. With the extra ram are you going to scratch your ass?

  • If this is the same price in India then I will surely buy it as my second phone..

  • It is selling for £100 in uk which is around 9000 inr. It will be a great deal if priced under 10k in india.

  • I received my E5 but have sent it back as battery life is appalling, other than that the handset is ok but they should have put a big battery in it shame really.

  • Sony please come back to 2016? It's not 2002 any more XD

  • How much in USD?

  • nokia's symbian allowed user to install apps on removable disk.

  • My Z3 is superb too.

  • Sony phones are well optimised and never lag. Don't look at ram.

  • Obvoius outcome

  • its a mid range phone, DUH! flagship has 3GB of ram

  • And she succeed :D

  • while Android world is running forward to 6GB RAM sony is RUNNING backward to 1.5GB WOW :(

  • z series is good but other is not

  • I am still using Z2 for 2.5 years and still rocking solid.

  • I'm considering to buy a new phone and this one is interesting, but does it have a gyroscope? On some websites they said it has, but on other websites it seems it doesn't... And the apps can be installed on the external memory (even partially it's ok)? Thanks

  • Guys sony xperia e5 smashed Samsung Galaxy j5 2016 in game performance

  • Nice phone in entry level,even other phone has better spec on sheet on its level,sure xperia e5 will running good ,finely tuned by sony recommend for someone to find budget phone

  • Mediatek is not terrible. They make good socs. They are better than spectrum and marvel used by Samsung. The only problem is lack of custom roms. What is the problem?

  • awesome... in the past xperia M,E,L,J series have some problem in audio , when any song running continue , sometime it stop... i wish , this mobile have no lacks :)

  • I'm in with SONY only true fans know what's there talking about. Hehe

  • Is this can run otg usb?

  • i like sony because of the ui, design and it doesn't lag for 1 or 2 years! but performance of sony is below average! goodbyee sony!

  • Actually in my old phone with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, i could choose where to install the apps. It was in Play Store settings you could choose internal memory or microSD.

  • This xperia E5 support otg?Or not support

  • Is it OTG supported!!

  • dude ...in my phone i can move and install both in sd card....this is future...

  • Actually there are

  • Definitely no otg support

  • Listen; first of all, there is not any smartph manufactured in world till date in which u can installed apps in external memory (don't know bout future). The apps can b only moved to external memory, not installed. U understand as this way that if u have a Computer or Lappy, u only installed any software in internal Hard Disk, not any other storage, but u can keep ur data in any external storage like external Hard Disk, Pen Drive etc. Like that same thing happen in smartph.

  • Need to know , battery life good? can reach 2 days?

  • It's Not huge difference in what you think it is, it's only $111. Lol

  • not to mention Euro's value is higher compared to Dollars

  • £100 from Vodafone PAYG.

  • this phone went come to asian??

  • Man... that is pretty expensive.

  • £200 GBP

  • As the review is stating, the phone has only just a bit above 10 GB of free space left of the 16 GB after the orginal software included by Sony. The question follows: can the space be extended by a memory card for additional application space? I'm not interested in having more space for pictures, videos or music. Just applications. With my current phone, Samsung Galaxy S2, the applications can't be installed in anywhere else than the original space of the phone, which is a huge restriction. If something has changed within the years, and apps can be installed to additional memory card, i might consider updating. Otherwise not. Thanks!

  • Nice job Sony, keep it up on building these quality cells and I'll keep buying SONY.

  • Mediatek huh?pass

  • and i want android n too

  • How much it cost there?

  • This is out on sale in UK I just ordered one

  • you can take samsung a3 2016 it has the same glass metal design but it has a lower chipset still it is quite good though.

  • Xperia e5 can use usb otg???

  • OTG???

  • This is actually descent budget phone. E4 and E4g were rock bottom but this one is not bad at all.

  • that's bad and i'm dreaming that samsung should create a phone 4.7 inch with chipset of neither j7 or j7 2016 exynos version and 3000mah battery with fast charging and s7 design lol 13mp 1080p so i can afford it plus metal at corners of the phone

  • sony should make a 4000 mah battery mobile

  • Hm.. maybe, but if is the score 47h with 2700mah battery, with 2300mah is probably 24h max right?

  • sony should concentrate battery(like 3500 mAh) and compact size like 4.5 inch...,

  • What about galaxy a3 2016

  • sony has great design but i'm not satisfied with the review especially the battery plus the chipset and i want a compact phone like 4.7 inch and android nougat so i decided not to buy it and i am still waiting for a samsung phone to release with j7 2016 or 2015 exynos chipset and 2gb ram and j5 design!

  • guys guys, it's 2 variants, originally Sony released 2700mAh but OEMs wanted another variant for Europe specially UK with only 2300mAh, we kow how money and marketing works guys

  • When available in asia? Anyone know, please.

  • This is nonesens. XA should be better, that is midrange and this is low end.

  • How you sure about it?

  • OEMs made 2 variants but Sony only made 1 with 2700mAh, OEMs also has 2300mAh

  • They didn't open up battery cover yet :) Battery in Sony Xperia E5 is 2300mah, same capacity like in Sony Xperia XA. Thats why, on battery test score is only about 40h, and software update won't help much.. At least XA looks better.

  • What kind of question is that? OTG is 2001 tech, of course there is.

  • OTG support?

  • They insist that it is 2700 ma, so it is.

  • Is it 2300 or 2700 mAh?

  • 2300 mah battery for this one

  • There is allready available in Denmark,for about 180 euro ,sample price i guess for new commer.

  • Already in July, still no news from Sony.

  • We will find out soon from GSMArena review, but i think it is internacional version (at least for battery capacity). Maybe processor and RAM size will be diffrent on some markets (for example like LG K10).

  • So is it a Europe version or what?

  • Nope,still no news,but let's hope that sony will make improvement like the e4>e4g

  • German language, but you can clearly see on picture 37, battery capacity=2300Mah, unfourtanelty, and asking price in Germany is 200 euros..

  • Omg what that language :D

  • It's 2300 mah

  • Yeah plus the overpriced phone with 2300mah battery that is bad!

  • All websites saying 2700 ma, even ph0nearena, 360.....maybe it is UK version or they are wrong, but why would sony make UK E5 less battery capacity, this is nonesens.

  • yeah i saw it so that is the uk version and there are another version with 2700mah?

  • You are right. Battery in Sony Xperia E5 is 2300mah (same as in Xperia XA), not 2700mah..

  • Lol,no,you didn't notice it,go to google>xperia e5>sony mobile uk>check full spec.too bad gsmarena doesn't support us to put pic here.

  • lol it is the Sony Xperia E4

  • No,it's actually 2300 mah.check sony uk.

  • Sony list the battery as 2300 mah.

  • i love hs

  • this phone can use usb otg??????

  • this phone support usb otg???

  • this phone support usb otg???

  • please do not release this phone early in the market please wait android n and make it android n out of the box

  • SAR?

  • This phone can using usb otg?

  • I'm still wondering how and why this kid is having the same battery as Xperia Performance?

  • You can go for Xperia XA Ultra

  • sony e5 very good mob

  • and plus the sony xperia ui is more good than other ui like touchwiz! sony has originality not like chinese phone they copy the design of iphone and front of samsung

  • Come on dude,although it has "cheap"hardware,it has something that those chinese phones dont have.it was software.please dont equalize the sky with the earth,they're obviously diffrent.sony has "brand name" because they had quality,so unique in terms of design.unlike those chinese brands that has beasty hardware but no software optimization,also they're always copy others company design.kindly regards,thanks

  • Does it support otg?

  • I am a regular user of Sony smart phone.In Xperia E5 you have to add three new features they are (i) Display should be 5.5 inch (ii)2GB RAM (iii)Front flash If price will be same.it will rock the world and be the most popular smartpho...

  • what ever Sony release new models,they can't beat xperia z and z2

  • If it would be cheap, near 140$, this would be the most selling device

  • I am a regular user of Sony smart phone.In Xperia E5 you have to add three new features they are (i) Display should be 5.5 inch (ii)2GB RAM (iii)Front flash If price will be same.it will rock the world and be the most popular smartphone.

  • Other thing, gsm arena sony prices are expensive.

  • It's amazing...... Wow........ I'm.. Unexpected......

  • $200 is reasonable for that device

  • 230$ as initial price is good dude

  • I am quite fond of Sony but they are just beyond due to its pricing. I hope this E5 would be in my budget and sony will fulfill my wish.

  • Sony releasing a very low end devices for those who don't have much money to pay, i am really satisfied, what apple done for them, they afraid to make phone would sometimes lag, pathetic apple.

  • It is a mediatek chipset processor & Mali Gpu which is normally used in micromax & other this type cheep brand now a days. Its Sony policy to high priced of itself bcoz brand name. Sony make fully foolish to public. Same specification of Sony E5, u may get in other non branded smartphone in just 8K to 10K. Totally nonsense.

  • Maybe vroh

  • realy price under $200 ??

  • This Released this Month End In Online or Store...?

  • Resolution is very low

  • Don't forget screen resolution is very small, i think battery is good.

  • Oh... man. Sony, what are you doing???

  • Yeah,, i agreed to that. Sony are very unreasonable on that aspect. :)

  • sony phones are overpriced, so many consumer are complaining!

  • Hmm... i think it will stay at a lower price not that 12k plus cuase thier phone has nothing new to offer.. specs wise.

  • no microfone? - Active noise cancellation with dedicated mic

  • "2700mah which is poor battery backup." - hm - nope.

  • they will add taxes in it! it will cost almost 12,990 and try to buy in abenson cause there is a chance of 2,000 discount!

  • Yes

  • Yes... haha but its just wishful thinking.. but im hopeful sony would grant my wish hahaha

  • Buy z1,2,3,5 campact

  • philippines?

  • 8k only here in the phl... hahaha just thinking out loud.😀😀

  • ±3000 mAh on 1080p is already good. I own Xperia Z3 and Galaxy A5(6) that last for 24 - 36 hours on moderate use. Both of them reach 8-10 hours screen time on. And this Xperia has 2700mAh on 720p screen. Assuming it has the same battery management as Z3 and A5(6), don't you think it will last longer than them?

  • Its very good phone but its screen size is big can sony cannot make phones 4.5 inch. E series is only series which make 4.5 inch can they decrease their size to 4.5 inches but now it increase its size.but its battery backup is 2700mah which is poor battery backup.

  • But if what you mean is TKDN regulation... well, let's hope for the best. OnePlus already out from Indonesian market. Last time I looked, there's still no news about Sony, Apple, Huawei, ZTE, and Xiaomi; seems they're still waiting for the final decision about TKDN to act.

  • What's right? I don't understand....

  • currently there's no info on that, even on the X series... but they said it might come around after Eid, so ... 6th or 7th July at least, could be longer though (I asked the sales guy on Marina Plaza at Surabaya and it seems they don't know the exact date too, but that's from months ago). If you really want it, you could try to save up some money while waiting, heard it might go around 3 million IDR on the web sites (looks like most sites used USD price as base).

  • Will it be released in Indonesia..

  • so m4 aqua is right?

  • Where do you get these wrong info? Redmi Note 3 is a 2016 phone, our topic is 2015 only. I bet you haven't touched a Moto G 3rd gen and Moto G Turbo, because if you had seen them, you would know they don't have fingerprint scanners.

  • are you kidding me? xiaomi redmi note 3 especially zte phones and motorola phones like moto g 3rd gen and turbo?

  • what are you talking about?

  • Please i wanna know the code use to check the original sony xperia phones and any other phones

  • Don't troll please!!! I have this phone from June and is awesome expecially performance for this price!!!

  • This will be my new phone. I love it!

  • Since there*

  • None of the Chinese phones had. Although I could be wrong, since they are loads of crap phones from Chinese companies.

  • chinese smartphone?

  • Oh my god.... Xperia M4 Aqua was released in 2015 January at MWC. At that period not even one midrange phone had fingerprint scanner. It was the period when flagships started getting fingerprint scanners. Flagships of 2015 such as LG G4, Moto X Pure/Style, Xperia Z3+, all came without it. When the M4 Aqua released fingerprint scanner was just making its way to flagships.

  • how about m4 aqua?

  • Super dissappointed with sony. I own e4g. Its a terrible phone. Beside the touchscreen problems it has problems with the most basic apps like twitter, instagram and google chrome. Icons in apps gets black, text become blurred its awful. Too bad i like using sony UI and default apps. Too bad they cant make a decent working phone.

  • OK, my prediction on price was around 170€ as this thing is a direct competitor to Galaxy J5. Seems like the extra 30€ is for faster processor, more powerfull GPU, additional 100 mAh battery, and newer OS version. Fair enough...

  • When people rage, they type all nonsense. This comment of your's is a good example. What you told was not an opinion, but rather a false claim. Phones that cost even more than Xperia E5 lack a fingerprint scanner. So, you only talk about E5, because you might be a troll or a Sony hater.

  • lol we have our on opinion and there is no wrong about it... I make an opinion and you make fight with it and i dont know if you have read that this is opinion and not fact... use your brain dude... if sony has overprice and you have an overpride!

  • Would have bought this except for two reasons: 1) It's overpriced 2) It has a Mediatek SOC

  • Yeah and you still contradict yourself. You said I started with the English grammar talk. If you scroll down, you'll see you yourself started with it. If you have some brains, you would realize that. You said all phones in 2016 have a fingerprint reader. I can give a list of phones without it. Moto G4, Moto G Play, LG K series, Galaxy J series, Xperia XA and XA Ultra, and on goes the list. So I proved you wrong.

  • lol you topic is english and me is phones haha....you are a future english teacher hahha

  • So talk about the topic, kiddo. Why still sticking to English? That's because you know nothing about phones.

  • price less then 15000 then good because samsung giving same spec less then that

  • lol you are making an english competition again! haha

  • It's "You are a kid!" You're is a lazy way!

  • 'your kid'? It's you're, not your. Please go to previous comments and see who started with the English grammar talk. It's you. This is how you started, "you forgot to put this -->." You started, not me.

  • E4g can run it with maximum settings, no lag,so imagine e5..

  • Does this not have Bluetooth Low Energy support? Otherwise looks like a great phone.

  • lol, you make it a english competition again hahaha your a kid, you said that this is not an english competition and you start it again... hahahahahaha

  • Now look who forgot to put a full stop in the sentence. LOL. Also, its 'I' and not 'I'. You can't talk about the topic because your knowledge is limited. My opinion is on topic while you are trying to change the topic. Topic is fingerprint scanners, not English.

  • your wrong i'm not kid and i think you are! Your opinion sucks

  • yes, my friend you've said it before my apologize

  • I had the 1st gen LTE Moto G.

  • LOL I'm sorry, I think you saying that your moto G has 2gb ram too Sorry, my bad

  • To save time, I started of the sentence with And. I don't see how that matters here? It doesn't make my sentence wrong. You can't argue with my about the topic, what you are trying to do is changing the topic. This is just a place for giving your opinion on the Xperia E5, not an English writing competition. This isn't your school, kid.

  • Xperia Z has 2GB RAM. It's plenty for a lag free GUI

  • I think this whil be a great phone only broblem its not water proof:(

  • Will this run Gta San Andreas, even in lowest setting?

  • It's wrong, do not use 'and' in first word of a sentence.

  • Really? Thats funny too my Xperia Z run smooth on every rom I've tried Stock, stock based, CM, CM based, AOSP, AOSP Based, XOSP (also android M for CM, AOSP and XOSP) even smoother on debloated stock 5.1.1 rom well, I think the problem is not the android version, but the dev team of the phone rom as long as they can provide a smooth rom, version does not matter

  • Not support otg? since 2012 all xperia phone support OTG.. xperia go, xperia p, xperia sp...

  • Funny, since I used CM in my moto G and never got the smoothness of a 2GB RAM phone. Same story for stock, which is debloated. Lollipop requires more than 1GB to run smoothly, whether it's a custom ROM or stock. Putting a custom ROM may help, but still isnt enough

  • It is correct. And it's not AND. It's and.

  • Motorola Moto E (2016) VS Sony Xperia E5!

  • 1.5GB enough for an entry level device. J5 works super smooth with 1.5GB. Even sony Xperia X has 3GB ram. Why would sony make their E5 2 GB ? 1.5 GB ram not a problem. The problem i see in this phone is it doesnt have usb host otg support. Sony always removes otg from entry level. dont know why? mtk 6735 is good. it should is better than sd410 in gaming and performance.

  • Seriously Sony 1.5gb ram only.. Why so hard to give it 2gb ram.. This 2016 Sony, not 2013

  • Its same as e4 with better spec.

  • Sony E5 official site price $199. R you Mad sony.

  • its screen size can be increse to 5.2 inches and increse their battery back in nxt model

  • it doesn't have good battery backup and its screen size 5.0 inch which is not easy to carry ,otherwise it is best

  • I hope it have MHL.

  • It's wrong. AND is wrong.

  • not for debloated not in custom ROM ;)

  • If the dimensions is correct with 69mm width then is same with the galaxy j2. Im buying one as i can use by single hand. Xperia fans since 2010 but only minies with left sided back button.

  • Hopefully smaller option, 4.5 ~ 4.7. Or else nothing special, must well straight away just buy the galaxy j5 with no wait.

  • Sony E series was never the best, compared to their competitors. And the current E5 pricing is too much, as usual with Sony. Moto G4 with far better specs is only a little more expensive than E5.

  • E4g had a faster processor. E5 isn't a whole new category, it's just an upgrade to the E4 and E4g. Basically another boring E series phone.

  • It's correct, no grammatical errors there. It's not AND, it's and. Kid, find a better way to troll please, you're only making a fool of yourself here.

  • It is too big to carry it's battery backup is not good I am sure now if you have to buy this phone then you are buying a wrong phone every is best otherwise

  • Performance is Sony's game even though lower on paper specs but perform higher than some over Rated on paper specs cells.

  • For you Budget friendly Sony fans!

  • I like it! Sony should release E5g!

  • 'AND' is wrong!

  • 1.5gb ram ? like seriously wha the fck sony ?

  • Currently using Sony Xperia e4 dual and now very impatiently waiting for this Sony Xperia e5 to be launched so that I may buy.... I was thinking to change my phone and buy Samsung j7 or qmobile z10 but after this revealing of e5 I will wait and jxt go for it because Sony is the best phone manufacturer....

  • This is a complete new category by sony. Its better in every way if you look e4 or e4g. I hope for e5g with 4,7" display and 2 gb ram. Best entry smartphone for this price. Last year it was e4g.

  • I would have rephrased your comment in this way: You forgot to put a full stop in your comment. And you yourself type 'lol'. Well, that is also wrong. You should have typed 'LOL', because it's an abbreviation.

  • So did you! In your previous comments and this. What a pathetic way to troll...

  • Expect 300 usd more or less. But if it's Sony, you won't be disappointed.

  • You forgot this --> .

  • 1GB RAM phones running Android 5.0 or higher suffer from lag and UI stutter. I find this sometimes in my moto G, whereas my LG K10 with 2GB RAM and Android 6.0 faces no such issues. If you are running 4.4, 1GB RAM is fine.

  • Me too. I'm using xperia E3 and it's still good even with 1GB RAM. Again, maybe you're right my friend, not for 3 or 5 years. Maybe more.

  • Still, you didn't understand what I told. Which is why you resort to trolling ;)

  • Only very few would hold on to a phone for 3-5 years. And yes, trends do change. This 2016, 2GB is the minimum. But people still use 1GB RAM phones (I still use one) and with even less RAM. I'm kinda sure 4GB won't get obsolete within 3 years :).

  • Listen...I can believe S4 is a shit....S5 isn't...let alone S6!!! So don't say bullshit...I had both Z1 and Z1 compact....overall compact had many issues....let alone again M2(which in my opinion is a good phone)...this E series look very good...just this mediatek....I don't know....S5 is my mother's phone and is still pretty good and smooth!!! I have lg g5... Samsung was my favorite....not anymore....galaxy tab S super tablet finally was a shit, laggy, sound only good enough, screen ok but nothing more,...the usb recharging connector of the tablet got broken....well...I had to pay 149 swiss francs to repair it...if I wanted it back still broken (I had to pay 49.90 s.francs)... So after having paid it 400 bugs...I left it to my carrier for free...sure thy will refurbish and sell it!!! Don't understand why touch wiz is so laggy!!! I have a rom on galaxy tab 2 7 inches hd...goes better than touchwiz!!!peace and sorry for the book I wrote😎😎😎

  • Hey, i bought a Sony phone called m2 which has a lot less specs than this, and a is like 300+ plus when i bought it and thank God, it's still what I'm using today because my stupid Samsung craps like s4 and s5 and s6 are running like fake ones and are really buggy and laggy.

  • You forgot this ---> ,

  • yes, you're right. At this time, 4GB RAM is top but you are not pay attention to what I say "after some years" means " 3-5 years later from today" maybe 3 or 5 years later, just like the old time where 2GB of RAM becomes mainstream and trends. And that trends changed today. 4GB RAM for flagship. And maybe...once again...maybe after years later, this 4GB trends changed too. Trends always changed, my friend.

  • If you understand English then you would understand

  • 6 GB RAM for Android? Give me a break. Android at this moment doesn't need more than 4GB RAM. And it's hilarious that you say 6GB is mainstream for flagships, when all the top phones like S7, G5 and HTC 10 come with 4GB RAM

  • : )

  • don't be sad maybe they will add those feature after some years later. we just need to wait and see..

  • not for this, because this is sony. This high level company will never do that except after some years from today where entry level phone have 2GB RAM and flagship phone have 6GB RAM becomes mainstream.

  • ??? what are you saying...

  • So what? No entry level phone needs a fingerprint scanner. There is no entry level phone with fingerprint reader. Some Chinese garbage have fingerprint readers. I've seen many iPhone 6 and 6s users unlocking their phones with PIN code, not fingerprint.

  • all phones need it lol! it's 2016!

  • First time sony has moved those stupid switches from the lower half of the phone. Why so many years to get that right ?

  • Same here about Sony but I dont like Nokia much..

  • Well now the Z5C cost is really low.

  • Agreed, but cost is on par with Flagship phones due to hardware on par with flagship. I was talking about mid range phone should have option of 4.7, actually there are no option available from reputed brands. Sony should have release E5 as 4.7

  • Z series is dead, that doesn't mean they make no more flagships or compact flagships. Hell, its not time for an upgrade Are you the CEO of Sony Mobile to know what's the future of the compact series? Regarding the Z5 camera, well, many trolls still state that it's camera is poor, but they know nothing. There was a video on recombu showing the capability of Z5 camera, it was great and definitely in line with S6 and G4. But of course, haters gonna hate.

  • And the Z5C fits that

  • All phones don't need it lol

  • Z5 Compact is not at all old, not even 1 year old. Its not time for an upgrade

  • Like Year old M4aqua with less ram, no IP68, just more battery. It took 1 year to "upgrade" to this. It's so funny it hurts. There is also fullHD screens, 4K and such for that price...

  • Bad pricing for a low spec phone this will not sold so well... Sony needs to stepping up the specs with reasonable pricing. I hope this phone have octa core and 2gb of ram. Its 2016 right?

  • Xperia E5 Better design(simple elegan, it doesn't look like its cheap) Better performance And most of all for sure it has better camera compare to galaxy j5 or HTC.

  • Would someone expect a lot from sony after they said to forget everything else besides X series, now E series coming. Even with XA that got nothing exciting in this field, E5 goes even lower. They are not serious. This is joke to other entry-levels...

  • Could be next phone while waiting for the proper Sony flagship. I don't really care about the specs of this phone because it's Sony. It can deliver the performance that I want. And while there are cheap and more well-spec compared to this, I couldn't bring myself buy devices from other companies except Sony and Nokia but sadly, Nokia is no more. But if they come back, I would be really hyped about it and buy one.

  • Very Nice Phone, We Require in Micro Sim Modules Too.

  • He mean new model, not the old one

  • it is not too much.. it's 2016 now, all phone need a fingerprint sensor!

  • i know even if sony offers gadget which was low in spec but it has better quality if u campare them with most of chinese's (with higher spec indeed)

  • So that you know, I do own a Z5 Compact .... But the Z line is discontinued (while still be available in stores, yes) and was replaced with X line. So far no compact phone in the X line is foreseen. Yes, my phrasing was not the best and could lead to your interpretation of it. Furthermore, Z5 Compact is really overpriced (although this depends on location, around here it costs around 600~700) and it is not an option for people looking for a practical, small and cheap android phone with reasonable specs. When deciding between BQ A4.5 and Sony Z5 Compact (Z3 Compact was pulled off the local stores at the end of 2015), I went for the Sony one only because of an huge discount at a local store. Of course, size aside, battery and IP68 were other 2 points that I was looking forward to. The camera is garbage though (for the price and all the hype around it, the sensor is crippled by software and the lens barely manage to resolve the 23MP resolution), has 'only' 2GB of RAM and the CPU when let loose hits +75C (167F).

  • We need compact phones around 4.7inch with decent specs.

  • E5 is better. since it has a compass. better processor. better Gpu performance. better internal storage.

  • You lost your credibility when you said Sony stopped making compact phones. The Z5 Compact still exists, and there is no other Android flagship in a small 4.6inch screen. Actually Sony's the only one giving importance to small phones. Huawei and Lenovo are obsessed in making huge phones. Samsung and HTC and LG all have no flagship grade phone below 5 inch screen size.

  • entry level phone(mostly from chinese) these day have that feature,

  • Did you know that E series is the lowest entry level phones offered by Sony? What you're asking is way too much in an E series phone.

  • samsung j5 is better

  • I dont think so,e4 and e4g have big difference. e4g have better: 1.ppi and quality screen,very glossy screen 2.stronger cpu 3.stronger gpu 4.NFC 5.4G

  • : (

  • Once again... an overpriced xperia phone. Entry level still at high price

  • Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) or Sony Xperia E5 or HTC 628

  • nope. I prefer 4.6 inch screen 5.5 is too large, not comfortable, not fit in hand and pocket, and drain more battery everything you said is perfect except for the screen.

  • E5 compact with 2GB RAM and fingerprint? That's too good to be true. Entry level phone will never have that.

  • Z5 Compact

  • I like the mobile

  • Please make Sony Xperia E5 Compact! but you will upgrade the 1.5gb ram to 2gb ram and make the thickness 7.0mm and try to provide fingerprint sensor! no need for water resistant!

  • i like this mobile .........................?

  • superrrrrrrrr

  • thats because sony thought-we are creating mind blowing compact phones...but STILL PEOPLE GO N BUY other phones of fruit company and samsung company and bash our phones instead of buying them(they bash them hard)...so why should we produce small pocket rocket phones for a small number of people...to hell with them. on a serious note e5 has magnetic compass,ambient light sensor absent on samsung j series.e5 has 1.5gb ram but sony software is way better optimised than touch wiz..my 1st android was sony m2(1gb ram) which is way way smoother than my 2nd phone-j5 2015(1.5gb ram).so ram no problem bcoz its sony.sound of j series loudspeaker is veryyy low.sony scores here.then coming to camera j5,j7 have no hdr...e5 has both front and rear hdr canera,e5 has 200gb micro sd support,j series 128gb...j5,j7 dont come with samsung music player...sony e5 comes with own app...and rhey look beautiful...i am gonna sell my j5 and get this.

  • Quite a shame that there is no compact phone from Sony anymore. Asian market is huge and asks for large phones, so manufacturers deliver what most people want. Regarding alternatives for a Android phone with 4.5" screen (or around, let's say up to 66mm wide), with some reasonable specs and suitable for lower budgets (150~200€): BQ Aquaris A4.5 it is an Android One phone, so it has proper software updates. 5 year warranty. The 2GB RAM/16GB flash version is recommended. Limited availability outside Europe and somewhat pricey for the spec sheet, but quite a reliable phone. ZTE Nubia Z5S has an HD screen and has a nice camera (for the price). Battery is its biggest flaw. IUNI U2 has a FullHD screen, a really beefy CPU (SD800) and a nice camera. Battery could be better, doesn't have 4G. It is a really old flagship model, so availability may be quite limited in the stocks of the stores. You can forget about software support with this one. If I had to choose between those 3 above, I would go with BQ simply because the software support and warranty given. It is almost a Nexus device, but smaller and cheaper. There are a few other, some with 1.5GB of RAM, but many with 1GB and 512MB, however they are discontinued and old in such a way that I could not find online stores that sold them. Some physical stores that act as stock outlets might have them at bargain prices. Hope it helps.

  • why this cheapass phone look better than the whole overpriced x series? lol. it would be acceptable if it only had better batter. i don't want average, i want strong battery sony, and it should be obligatory for all oems to put strong batteries.

  • There are a lot more expensive things in Z5 Compact other than processor. Triluminos quantum dot display. High res audio Flagship standard camera Waterproofing And more. Sony cant just 'slap a mediatek Into a Z5 Compact' and sell it cheaper lol

  • Sony's battery optimization is very good. Xperia X, which has a higher res display and powerful processor, has a smaller 2620 mAh battery. Most thought it would result in bad battery life. But battery life tests showed battery life was indeed very good. 2700 mAh is more than enough for E5, which has a weedy processor and 720p display

  • It would probably be named "E5 4G" bcoz 5G doesn't exist. E4G was a word play.

  • it is average but good! Sony have the best optimization, if i am not wrong.

  • what do you want? what processor, ram, gpu, chipset? battery?

  • Will it come Sony e5g?

  • I would prefer a 4.6 inch phone. 5 inch or larger phones do not fit in the pocket very well. There are too many 5 inch phones, but it is difficult to find a phone that is smaller than 5 inches. Any suggestions on where I could find a smaller android phone (less than 5 inches) that is not too expensive?

  • Hi... why dont sony work on some good battery phone.. better to have battery phone which will run atleast for 2 days without charging.. they r providing good Camera.. no doubt.. I am expecting this specification... 1. 13mp to 16 mp camera - Display - 5" to 5.5" 2. 2 gb ram + 16gb internal memory with min Quad-core 1.2 GHz cpu 3. Good batter atlease 3600mAh to 4100mAh - 2 days enough juice and rest android is providing.. If Sony comes with above 2 options phone... I am sure they will be back in the market.. and price of both version will also matter they should keep around 12000/- to 20000/-

  • who said sony all day don,t get better? expensive is for builders and high technology like 4k Display in Z5 p be Sure X Serie Will Get the Sansung and Other

  • If Sony xperia e5 has 4.5 or 4.7 inch then it can be best and otherwise it is good

  • I want to buy this phone but it have 2700mah which is averge battery life but not good and it,s screen size is 5 inch which is big so it doesn't,t carry affordbly

  • Again it posted earliar as 4.6inch and finally comes out to be another 5inch junk. This specs of phone i have already having 2 pieces 1 and a half years ago. And the price are not cheap, fail. Why don't sony just shift in the a mediatek processor into the z5 compact to replace the crappy expensive sd810 and sell it cheaper??

  • I Respectfully Disagree with your opinion, New Apple and Samsung phones are much more expensive that Sony Phones and yet may people still buys them

  • everything is okay, but the amount of RAM destroyed it

  • me too!

  • Somebody know will it come Sony e5g? Like e4g have better chipset then e4.

  • Sony phones are very expensive, that is the main reason of failure day by day. Sony is running out of the track. Another legend will be go away like the legend Nokia.

  • Amazing phone

  • Yeah, i too was looking forward to a 4,6 inch back-up phone. Whats even more disappointing is that almost the entire x line-up is inferior to the previous one (features, specs but mostly price). E5< M4 aqua. Same price. XA< M5. (closer to m4 than m5). Same price. XA ultra> c5 ultra. X< Z5. (even m5 beats it in features). More expensive. This new line-up is ridiculously overpriced. And now i have to look elsewhere for my commute phone (c5 ultra is too big to pocket in summer clothing).

  • would have been a purchase if it had a smaller display

  • 3+ year old chip.. lol

  • Disappointed for large screen and pricing. I was expecting 4.3" - 4.6" in 150 Euro

  • sAME hERE ........!!

  • very disappointed, i thought it will sport 4.7 inch screen and instead of using 2gb ram they made it 1.5gb ram and the price is not good at all, make it €170-180!

  • I will grab one as soon as it hits Cambodia market.

  • Xiaomi Mi Max : 1. 6.4" display 2. 3/4Gb ram 3. Snap 650(hexa)/652(octa) 4. Internal M : 32/64/128 5. Fhd 6. Corning glass 4 7. Recording video 4K 8. Just 260 euro Sony Xperia E5 : 1. 5.0" 2. 1.5Gb ram 3. MediaTek MT 6735 qual 1.3 GHz 4. Internal M : 16Gb 5. HD 6. Recording video Fhd 7. Mali T720MP2 8. 200 euro !!

  • 5 inches? well, there goes our hopes for a decent sub-5 incher backup phone..better get the m4 aqua then,im sure prices will be pretty close at release,and the m4 aqua is obviously the better phone.

  • sony please made another version that is 4.7 inch but 2gb ram and same battery!

  • tnx for your opinion..

  • Well, this sounds a good entry-level for those who cant afford the xperia XA

  • Of course Sony phones are better in performance specially long term performance.

  • so for you sony or samsung?

  • Sony, as far as my experience told me. I'm using Galaxy A5 2016 the Exynos version. I still notice visible lag. Performance wise, it's arguably comparable to my 3 years old Xperia SP released back in 2013.

  • will be dual version?

  • SONY XPERIA E5 1.5gb ram no fingerprint scanner? no quick charge no glass protection not powerful chipset and gpu like in other sony phones and the phone has smaller screen so it should be cheaper than M4 Aqua but I think this phone will perform as good as J5 2015 edition!

  • but in terms of performance? sony or samsung?

  • better sony, samsung crap still making silver looking plastic frames on the phones, and it ends up looking bad and old, no one can resell it after use i because it ends up like a mess just by using it.

  • that would be prehistoric.

  • it's cool, low price please xoxo lol !!

  • Sony Xperia E5

  • Samsung Galaxy J2 (2016) or Sony Xperia E5!

  • Welcome. Sony

  • And what is Xperia X10 mini pro then?

  • and jack up the price? are you forgetting that this is supposed to be an entry level device? as to why more and more manufacturers are switching to mediatek,maybe its because they know something you dont.

  • Nice phone,i want buy this phone. But why no use shutter camera and ram just 1.5 gb not 2gb. And i hope battery 2600 mAh like z3 compact with fast charging. love u Sony Xperia

  • This phone wouldn't be a cheap one ... And I can't get why brands like HTC and Sony are behind mediatek ... Leeco (letv) and meizu have enough juice of mediatek in them to wipe these already ... They should rather go for snapdragon 650 ... This phone isn't worth ...

  • by the time the price of this phone lower than 150USD, then I might consider to buy it :3 Sony are like Samsung when releasing low/mid end device, new devices but practically same internal as before (or minor upgrade on hardware), but in Sony case I often found the price of it device are much higher than Samsung one. (this is the reason why I never own Sony, more like can't afford to buy LOL) but what do I know, I'm still using my lg G2 in 2016 which I purchase just last year XD

  • *the price is like*

  • If the battery is 2600+mah and price it like Samsung Galaxy J5! Then it is worth to buy!

  • This design is better than Sony Xperia X ...

  • Haha yes, for the launch price. But eventually, I'm sure of it... will reach 150 USD or lower :P

  • Yeah right, 3GB RAM in entry level devices? High expectations you have. Technology hasn't advanced that far. Entry level devices still come with 1 GB or 1.5 GB RAM. 2 GB Is the minimum required for low-midrange devicez

  • its a rumour our dave

  • Well I think it is with better cpu and more ram and a better screen and newer OS version cmon man sp is stone age right now

  • uhm,no. maybe if you plan to do a LOT of multitasking,but you wont do that on 4.6" phone,obviously. 1.5gb will probably be enough for the average non-power android user. 2gb would have been nice though,but they have to cut something out,this being sony.

  • finally,a small phone with decent-enough features and not-bad looks from a known brand! lets hope they price this right.

  • 1.5GB RAM when 3 is needed for modern android devices.

  • Exactly there r people who like 4.6 stuff

  • Sony will make a fortune is they sell this around 125 usd, ill preorder one in Australia!

  • Yeah it is might be not Xperia e5 it's x mini

  • Will this phone will be priced for about 150$ to 180$??

  • +2

  • +1

  • if they priced it like j5, i will gonna buy this phone!

  • another mediatek overpriced phone from sony

  • Xperia x mini, please finalized and confirmed 4.6inch. Dont at the end comes out to be another 5 inch or bigger junk. If the price are 30% cheaper than the samsung a3 i will buy.

  • I hardly think so. Sony rarely release cheap phones, and even if it does the specs will be far lower than this. I might have wrong though. I personally like the model though, it quite simplistic and good looking.

  • It has to be snapdragon 435 :3 more powerfull

  • See dpi ? 4.6 720 pixel. Smartass

  • Assuming that the CPU is not a power hogger and the battery is enough, this seems to be quite a balanced phone, at least on paper. Could use 2GB of RAM though. However, knowing Sony, this will cost north of 200€/$. and for that price there are better alternatives (at least in European market).

  • Man... when i see 1,5 gb ram it makes me want to kick some asses. Whats wrong with 2 gb ?

  • Is this phone better than Xperia SP?

  • finally a small size phone just what I wanted i really tired using monster size phones and wants a small phone with decent spec waiting for the review of this phone

  • Okay if this thing is sold under 150 USD, you can take my money SONY! ;)

  • There are many people who want a good phone under the 5inch screen category.

  • Some people want reasonable size phone. You have lot of choice from SONY. I personally like smaller size phone and using a XPERIA Mini.

  • funny: Xperia E4 have 5" screen...why they cut in E5 and put a 4.6?! Ok is a "low-end" phone but even low end nobody want a small phone like this...make it 5 or 5.5 and put 2GB of RAM and it will be the best "low-end" in the market (and i am talking about well known brands)

  • Bro have u used Sony xperia C phone, it was having Mediatek processor with 1 Gb RAM, was working fine i've used for more than a year.

  • Bro have u ever seen OS updates to new version for Samsung J series, E series,S duos and Quattro etc. Entry level phones are never mend for new version updates they are only for the one who wants big brand but less money. Sony always proved that it is best but Samsung and Apple are only gaining because of marketing but not with quality.

  • 1.5 gb of ram and mediatek processor .... no thanks.

  • its useless unless its minimum 5 inch sony E series have horrible cameras..

  • People are excited about sony e5 haha.It's marshmallow I know but this will be latest os in future (2 years) no more updates. Some people will told to me I am trolling some will not believe etc. I will tell to those people only this: search all smartphones from e series.. Expecially e4,e4g ( no even 1 update!!!

  • if you planned to buy xperia i can only recommend the xperia handset that have ultra naming on it other series is neither overpriced or underpowered... if you want a good phone go for lg, huawei, htc, samsung

  • Here you go compact and entry level price users, awesome Sony E5!

  • Stereo speakers pls..

  • If u want to buy a mobile from Sony, buy z or X serious, the other are in garbage, I have tried m,c serious and it doesn't deserve their money!

  • USB otg plss....

  • Great! Again compact smartphone from Sony.
