Take an HTC Desire 820s and give it HTC Desire 820’s features like BoomSound speakers, full HTC Sense and a brand new Ultrapixel front camera and what will you get? You will get a HTC One E9s. Or you can do it the other way, the result will still be the same.
Sony Xperia M5 is yet another victim of Sony’s ridiculous pricing. If they had priced it fairly the phone would have been a big hit. But now nobody is even going to consider it not until its price comes down at least. Such a sad fate for such a good phone.
Benchmark performance of Sony Xperia M5 was pretty bad, a test didn’t even run and for some reason, no matter how many times i tried. Sony Xperia M5 only scored just around 40,000 points in Antutu.
I wonder why Sony launched this phone? Especially at the MRP of Rs. 37,990(Approx $560) although you can buy it for around Rs. 32,000 – 34,000($500) in the market currently. But still, it’s like Sony sent a soldier from their cavalry to fight a war without any ammunition. In other words ‘dead on arrival’.
If Sony had updated the front camera of C4 they would have probably called it Xperia C5. But that wasn’t enough for them so they decided to give it an ‘ultra update’ and made the big screen even bigger. So now, instead of getting an incremental update you’ve now got an ultra version of the ‘missing link'(Xperia C5). Basically what Xperia C5 Ultra is, is it is Xperia C4 on steroids.
Benchmark performance of Sony Xperia C5 Ultra is just like Xperia C4 which is to be expected ’cause both the phones have the exact same chip-set. Mediatek 6752 is a pretty powerful chip-set but it isn’t powerful enough for 1080p displays you can read more about this in the gaming section below.
Now this isn’t an ‘everyone phone’ ’cause not everybody likes a screen this big. But to overcome that Sony tried its best to keep the phone as small as possible with respect to its as big as possible screen size. They certainly did a good job.
