Today in the IFA 2019, Sony announced their next 5G Android smartphone: the Sony Xperia 5. Like the Sony Xperia 1 launched earlier this year at MWC Barcelona, the Xperia 5 incorporates many of Sony's innovative Digital Imaging technologies, this time in a sleeker, more pocket-friendly package.
Like the larger Xperia 1, the Sony Xperia 5 utilizes an OLED display with a 21:9 aspect ratio, albeit measuring 6. 1" diagonally this time around and packing a slightly lower 2520 x 1080 resolution due to the Xperia 5's smaller dimensions. The Xperia 5 comes equipped with a trio of cameras, each covering a unique focal length: 16mm Ultrawide Angle, 26mm with Optical Image Stabilization, and 52mm Portrait/Telephoto with Optical Image Stabilization. The same dual photodiode/stacked CMOS image sensor technology used in Sony's Flagship Full Frame Mirrorless A9 also powers each of the Xperia 5's three cameras. The cameras in the Xperia 5 also borrowed a lot of the advanced autofocus tech found in Sony's Alpha Mirrorless cameras, including advanced Eye AF and the ability to shoot at up to 10 fps with continuous AF/AE tracking. Video shooters will find lots to love with the Xperia 5 as well, including 10-bit 4:2:2 capture and s709-based color science adopted from Sony's own Venice cinema cameras. Like the Sony RX100 Mk VII premium point-and-shoot, the Xperia 5 has Hybrid Electronic/Optical Image Stabilization built in, allowing you to capture videos with near-gimbal-stabilized quality even in low light scenarios. Sony's Cinema Pro project-based video creation app is also included with the Xperia 5, making cinematic editing possible on a mobile phone.
