Description of the Sony Xperia 5 Black
Sony Xperia 5 Black
Berlin was the stage for the launch of the Xperia 5, the smaller brother of the Xperia 1. The device offers the same in many areas, but it's a bit more compact. On the back of this black device, there are also three cameras.
They each have their own unique feature, so you can get a good shot anytime, anywhere. The device has a 6.1-inch screen with an elongated ratio of 21:9. Other features such as Dolby Atmos, a fast Snapdragon processor, and a large battery are also present.
OLED screen of 6.1 inch
The screen of the Xperia 5 Black is a 6.1-inch version with an elongated ratio of 21:9. An OLED panel has been chosen and, in combination with the high resolution, this allows you to optimally enjoy the right content. Bright colours, no black bars, optimal enjoyment!
Fitted with four cameras
The phone features an 8-megapixel front camera and three cameras on the back. This way, you can shoot normal photos, zoom in a bit, or use the wide angle lens. New techniques such as eyetracking, transferred from the camera department of Sony, are also included.
Fingerprint scanner on the side
Sony didn't choose to incorporate the fingerprint scanner in the screen, as many competitors do. Sony still considers a physical scanner to be the best and it is placed in the side of the device. This allows you to quickly unlock your Xperia 5.
High-end Snapdragon 855-processor
This black device from the manufacturer is once again equipped with a fast processor. This Snapdragon 855 chip offers good performance in terms of power and battery life. It handles any task or 3D game effortlessly, while the battery still lasts a full day!
Listening to audio via the USB-C port
This device is equipped with techniques such as hi-res audio and Dolby Atmos, which is something you really have to experience. You can enjoy your favourite movies or series even more. You can listen to music wirelessly, via a USB-C adapter, or with a headset with this future-proof connection.
128GB storage space and memory card slot
The device comes with a standard 128GB of internal storage, which is enough for most people. You can install apps, but also store photos or music, for example. You can expand this storage by putting a memory card in your device, so you'll never run out of space.
Large battery and quick charging
Of course, Sony has fitted this phone with a battery with enough capacity to get you through the day. The energy-efficient hardware also plays a role in this, as does the software optimised by Sony. Charging is done quickly, and gives you hours of fun.
Android 9 Pie and Sony skin
The Xperia 5 Black runs on Android 9.0 Pie, to which Sony has made minor adjustments. This means you can get started right away and do whatever you want with the device. You'll have access to services such as Gmail or YouTube, but you can also download apps from Google's Play Store.
