context_page_description: The Sony Xperia 5 is an Android smartphone marketed and manufactured by Sony. Part of Sony's flagship Xperia series, it was unveiled at the annual IFA event on September 5, 2019. The device is a cheaper, more compact variant of the Xperia 1.
context_section_description: The Xperia 5 heavily resembles the Xperia 1, but has a smaller form factor. Like the 1, it uses aluminum for the frame and Corning Gorilla Glass 6 for the screen and back panel. The button layout is retained, with the volume, power and shutter release buttons as well as the always-on fingerprint scanner all located on the right side of the phone. However, the card slot has been moved to the left side as opposed to the Xperia 1's top-mounted tray. Notably, the camera module, color sensing (RGBC-IR sensor) and LED flash have been relocated to the upper left-hand corner of the device as on earlier Xperia phones. The earpiece/top speaker, front-facing camera, notification LED and various sensors are housed in the top bezel. The bottom edge has the primary microphone and a downward-firing speaker next to the USB-C port. At 158 mm × 68 mm × 8.2 mm, the Xperia 5 is 9 mm shorter and 4 mm narrower than the 1, but has the same depth. The decrease in dimensions also results in the device being lighter at 164g (5.78 oz); it weighs 14g (0.5 oz) less than the 1. The same IP65/68 rating is present, and four colors are available: Blue, Red, Black and Grey.
