Sony brought a powerful phone with a more powerful camera to IFA 2023
IFA 2023 is going on right now, and we’re seeing some fun and innovative tech. Sony attended the event and it showed off the next generation of its flagship Xperia phones. The company showed off the Sony Xperia 5 V at IFA.
Sony doesn’t really make phones for the average consumer anymore. The modern Xperia phones are for mobile photography nerds who want a customizable experience. These phones are great for people who tend to use the manual mode in their cameras.
The Xperia 5 V makes an appearance at IFA
This iteration might look similar to last year’s model, but there’s a notable difference. This iteration only has two cameras on the back. The Xperia 5 IV has three cameras on the back.
While this is the case, it’s not a downgrade. The Xperia 5 V uses the same 52MP main Exmor T backside illuminated (BSI) Type 1/1.35-inch stacked sensor that was present in the Xperia 1 V. That’s a notable upgrade, and it can switch between a 24mm and 48mm focal length. This means that it can take on the role of a 2x zoom camera. As for the other camera, this is a 12MP ultrawide camera.
Aside from the camera tech, this phone has some pretty robust specs. Starting off with the display, the Xperia 5 V has a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display. It uses Sony’s proprietary TV Bravia X1 image quality engine. This means that visuals will look amazing with this phone.
This phone will use the snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, so you can expect flagship-grade performance. That’s backed up by up to 12GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The base storage isn’t amazing, but there is still microSD card storage. Moving onto the battery, we’re looking at a 5000mAh cell. That’s pretty average for most phones nowadays.
Sony was able to bring a powerful phone with a powerful camera to the show, and this is why it got the Android Headlines award for Best of IFA.
