Sony Xperia’s official Weibo account released a preview poster, indicating that there is still one day left before the release of the Chinese version of Xperia 5, which means that Sony will hold a press conference on September 24.

The appearance of Xperia 5 was revealed when it was released overseas. It has a 6.1-inch 21:9 wide screen, a resolution of 1080 x 2520, and an interpolated 10-bit panel (8-bit hardware, 2-bit software compensation). Although the dimensions are 158 x 68 x 8.2mm and weighs 164g, Sony still praises Xperia 5 for being sleek and compact.

The back of Sony Xperia 5 is made of Corning 6th generation Gorilla Glass, and the vertical triple camera is located in the upper left corner. The specifications are the same as Xperia 1, namely 3 12-megapixel CMOS, supporting 2x optical zoom, eye-controlled focus, and automatic mode supports 10 continuous shooting per second.

In terms of core configuration specifications, Sony Xperia 5 is equipped with Snapdragon 855, 6GB RAM, 128GB ROM, supports memory card expansion, and has a 3140mAh battery (PD fast charging).

Other aspects also support side fingerprint, Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, IP68 dust and water resistance, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, USB-C interface, pre-installed Android 9 Pie system, and no 3.5mm headphone jack.

In terms of price, the US retailer B&H previously listed Sony Xperia 5 at a price of US$799.99, or about RMB 5,700, which is US$150 (about RMB 1,100) cheaper than the Xperia 1 with a 4K OLED HDR display.

The price of the domestic version will be announced at the press conference on September 24, leaving the only suspense.
