Sony has launched Xperia 5 with 21:9 CinemaWide display

Sony has been lately playing a different game than the rest of the Android phone manufacturers. Instead of pushing out bezel less devices, Sony is concentrating on the overall experience a user gets from using their phone. Xperia 1 was well received thanks to it's  21:9 CinemaWide™ display. Now Sony is coming with another phone with a similar display - Welcome Xperia 5.

Is Xperia 5 a flagship phone ? Of course it is. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Octacore processor and comes with 6GB of ram and 128GB of storage. It's actually a smaller variant of the Xperia 1 launched earlier.

Like every other flagship phone in the market, Sony has equipped Xperia 5 with Triple Cameras at the back. There is no depth sensor or monochrome lens, instead you get an Ultra wide ( 16mm), Wide  ( 26mm ) and Telephoto ( 52mm ) lens combination. All are 12MP sensors. The main camera comes with an F1.6 aperture lens. The ultra-wide lens has F2.4 aperture while the telephoto one comes with a F2.4 lens. Optical Image Stabilization is available on both Wide and Telephoto lens. When you record video with any of these lenses, you can get smooth videos thanks to Hybrid OIS/EIS video stabilization and SteadyShot™ with Intelligent Active Mode (5-axis stablization). On the front, you get a 8MP sensor with F2 lens.

Xperia 5, like it's bigger brother Xperia 1, supports Cinema Pro "powered by CineAlta" – 21:9 movie recording. 4K HDR video recording is supported as well. Xperia 5 uses BIONZ® XTM for mobile processor which is a toned down version of the processor you see in Sony Alpha Cameras.
