In the test, the Sony Xperia E5 shows a bright, high-contrast IPS panel and a very exact GPS module. The quality of the case, camera, and speaker earn some negative points.Read more

It looks upmarket, but is it?Read more
The Sony Xperia M5 offers most of the features of the flagship Z5, but for substantially less money. Its super-slim design is very nearly the same, and its 21.5 megapixel camera with 4K video makes the M5 one of Sony's best ever camera phones. The 8-core Helio X10 processor isn't quite as fast as the Snapdragon 810 used in top-end phones, and the memory is just 16GB, but for the price, we think that it offers exceptional performance.Read more
More storage, more power, more megapixels – for a lot more moneyRead more
