In May, Sony released the Xperia 1 V. Now, as the Xperia 1 lineup already got its ‘V’ phone, the Xperia 5 IV is due to see an upgrade. Well, the promo video of the Sony Xperia 5 V surfaced. And it shares some key features of the upcoming flagship.
Per the promo video, the Sony Xperia 5 V will be a proper upgrade to its predecessor. Yes, the upcoming flagship device will be ditching the three-camera configuration that’s found in the Xperia 5 IV. But that’s not everything that the promo video has shared. There’s more!
Closer Look at the Promo Video of Sony Xperia 5 V
If you look back, the Sony Xperia 5 IV came with an ultra-wide and telephoto sensor along with its primary sensor. Although it’s unclear which sensor Sony has ditched from the Xperia 5 V, it’s likely the telephoto sensor. The lack of a telephoto sensor would mean that Sony has prioritized the ultra-wide and primary sensor of the 5 V. That is a good thing, as those are the two sensors that most people use.
On that note, the lack of a telephoto sensor on the Xperia 5 V could be hinting at a price change. After all, as it does not have a piece of hardware, the manufacturing cost should be lower than the Xperia 5 IV.

That is, the upcoming device could be cheaper than the predecessor. Besides, the promo video of the Sony Xperia 5 V confirmed that there are not many changes on the front. It still rocks no punch-hole cutout at the top, which is something that most of the flagship phones these days are coming with.
This front display design means that the selfie camera is still at the top bezel. Also, the video revealed that the Xperia 5 V will retain the 3.5mm headphone jack, which is a plus point as it has become quite rare in flagship devices. The video is embedded below for you to check out everything. And hopefully, Sony will unveil more details soon.
