Its SRP is S$ 249, so the first few buyers are in for a treat.

Xperia 5 specs

The Xperia 5 is the compact version of the Xperia 1. Basically, the Xperia 5 is the “baby” brother of the Xperia 1. However, it keeps most of the same features from Xperia 1.

From a design perspective, it is unmistakably an Xperia smartphone with its sleek and boxy body. Xperia 5’s display is a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED 21:9 display. It has three cameras in a 12MP wide-angle + 12MP ultra-wide-angle + 12MP telephoto lens setup.

Performance-wise, this Xperia comes with Snapdragon 855 which is standard for a 2019 Android flagship. It has 6GB of RAM memory, and 128GB of storage enough for most people. Those who need more storage can do so with a MicroSD card expansion slot. Battery is rated at 3,140 mAh, and charging is done with a fast-charging 18W USB-C adapter.
