Attractive design ; Nice display ; Decent camera

Slow performance ; No fast charging ; Odd volume rocker placement

Awkwardly straddling the budget and mid-range categories, the Sony Xperia E5 doesn't quite do enough to earn a recommendation in either. There's nothing particularly wrong with it, but you can get better smartphones for around the same price.

bright IPS panel ; exact GPS module ; performance (considering the SoC) ; NFC ; design and workmanship ; fast SD-card slot

slow SoC ; high heat development in parts ; speaker ; battery life (compared to the competition) ; camera

Decent battery life ; Respectable budget performance ; Rugged

Very basic cameras

We've decided to call the Sony E5 a safe choice. It's not an exciting choice; it's not revolutionary or pushing at any boundaries. Nope, but it's very safe. Asked by dave from uk on 19th Aug 2016 We used the standard setting straight out of the box.

Speicher per MicroSD-Karte um bis zu 200 GB erweiterbar ; 13 Megapixel-Hauptkamera für brauchbare Tageslichtaufnahmen ; Handliche Bauweise ; Recht helles und scharfes Display

Nur 9,6 GB von 16 GB internen Speicher nominell frei ; Etwas biederes Design ; Akku nicht wechselbar

Gute Verarbeitungsqualität ; Handliches Format ; Gute Gesamtausstattung für den Preis

Langsamer Autofokus ; Langweiliges Design

Sony Xperia E5 im Test: Das neue Android-Smartphone von Sony ist vielleicht einen Tick zu teuer und optisch zu langweilig, bietet im Alltag aber alltagstaugliche Leistung. Klar: Es gibt andere Smartphones, die um die 199 Euro kosten und mehr Technik...
