128GB | White | New
Most flagships have crept upward in size every year, screens creeping past 6.7 inches, phones you need both hands to actually use comfortably. Sony went the other direction with this one. It's the compact sibling to the Xperia 1 IV, same core hardware, smaller body, and it's aimed squarely at people who got tired of stretching their thumb across an oversized screen just to reach a notification.
8GB of RAM as standard here, a real step up from the previous Xperia 5 III, and storage runs on 128GB with microSD expansion up to a full 1TB, something increasingly rare on phones this size. Apps open quickly, everyday multitasking doesn't stutter, and it holds up well against phones considerably larger.
All three rear lenses run at 12MP, wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto, tuned in partnership with Zeiss optics. That telephoto lens seamlessly shifts between 85mm and 125mm equivalent zoom ranges rather than locking you into one fixed distance, genuinely unusual flexibility most competitors don't offer. Sony's camera software leans on real photography controls too, rather than just point-and-shoot simplicity.
6.1-inch OLED, 21:9 aspect ratio, HDR support, and full 120Hz refresh rate carried over from the flagship line. That unusual aspect ratio makes it feel taller and narrower than most current phones, better for one-handed use and cinema-style video, though it's a shape you'll either love or need a moment to adjust to.
5,000mAh battery, a genuine jump from the previous generation's smaller cell, and this is the first Xperia 5 to actually support Qi wireless charging, alongside reverse wired charging for topping up other devices. Sony held off on this feature for years, so its arrival here is a real quality-of-life upgrade rather than a minor spec bump.
3.5mm headphone jack still present, IP68 water resistance, NFC, and Wi-Fi 6 support. Sony's clearly building for people who want a proper flagship without giving up the practical features other manufacturers have quietly phased out.
Every phone gets tested before it's listed, battery health, screen, cameras, buttons, charging port, network, then wiped and reset properly. Storage and cosmetic condition vary by stock, shown clearly on the page so there's no guessing at checkout.
Fast tracked UK delivery, warranty included as standard. Something not right on arrival? That's on us to sort, not you.
