Sony Xperia 5 IV review: a small but mighty smartphone
The Sony Xperia 5 IV is a 6.1-inch smartphone that still manages to pack flagship-level hardware
6.1-inch FHD+ screen ; Very capable camera system ; MicroSD card slot
21:9 aspect ratio won't be for everyone ; No dedicated Night Mode on the camera ; Slow to charge
The Sony Xperia 5 IV is a compact smartphone that doesn't skimp on hardware, it manages to pack an impressive camera system with lots of manual controls as well as solid battery life and speedy performance. While it won't be right for absolutely...

Sony Xperia 5 IV review: Making gains
Is Sony's compact Xperia flagship the small phone to buy?
Solid design ; Battery life ; Wireless charging ; Portrait selfies now work
Gets a bit warm ; Expensive ; Camera favours manual option over point and shoot
The Xperia 5 IV updates Sony's compact flagship device, making this one of limited selection of devices that offer a full suite of specs in a smaller package. There's a great display and stellar battery life, in a package that's ideal for those who...

Sony Xperia 5 IV review
Sony has found the sweet spot in its high-end line up with a phone that does everything very well
Premium build ; Incredibly capable cameras ; Excellent battery life ; Headphone jack ; Front-facing speakers
Cameras take work and patience ; Only two years of software and security updates ; Slow charging
The Sony Xperia 5 IV is better than the Xperia 1 IV. It’s a more sensible size, has a great display, has solid battery life, and its cameras – though they make you work for results – are excellent.

Sony Xperia 5 IV review: creative shrinker
Multi-lens mid-ranger is a great starting point for vloggers and phone photographers
Capable camera trio with superb manual modes for both stills and video ; Stellar screen and a design that oozes sophistication ; Excellent battery life
Previous-gen CPU gets hot and sucks power ; Basic camera mode can’t match more automatic rivals
Everything we loved about the Xperia 1 IV, distilled down for the mainstream with a much more manageable price. The Xperia 5 IV is very creator-friendly, as long as you don’t mind doing a lot of the work yourself.
