Earlier on Price Pony we brought you news about the  upcoming Sony Xperia devices:  the M5 and C5 Ultra that may be released later this August. While the C5 Ultra also gets fair attention with dual 13MP cameras for both rear and selfie shooter; it is the M5 that stands in the center of the spotlight.

Here are the reasons why Sony Xperia M5 is that special

1. It is the successor of Xperia M4 Aqua flagship

It is introduced just 5 months after its predecessor Xperia M4 Aqua. And when the heat from the M4 has not cooled down yet, the M5 already caught huge attention. It has many functions from the M4 yet the Xperia M5 design is inspired and looks similar to the Z3+, which just launched in Japan.

2. Those unbelievable cameras

We – tech lovers – all know that Sony Xperia smartphone series are famous for their very high quality camera sensors. Even if they are of the same resolution with other brands, it has been proven that that could take much better pictures. However, this Xperia M5 is that one-of-a-kind device that will bring us even better experience.

The Xperia M5 rear camera is 21.5MP Exmor RS. It is equipped with premium Hybrid AF F2.2 that can capture the best shots as fast as 0.25 second. It also supports ISO up to 3200 to maximize the quality of pictures taken under low light conditions.

“It’s a perfect match that delivers fast, accurate focusing in all situations, even if your subject is moving” – Said Sony on their official page

Excited already? Hmm, get ready for some more because the Xperia M5 front camera is as good as an above average rear camera from other smartphones, which is 13MP with AF. WOW?

First, the camera sensors will make people pay some attention to the Xperia M5. And then its specs combo will do the rest to convince users to love the device.

In terms of Sony Xperia M5 specs, it features 5” display with 3GB RAM and 16GB ROM, a powerful 64-bit MediaTek Helio X10 Octa-core processor (2.0 GHz) and Android Lollipop. However, the Xperia M5 battery is not that impressive, packing 2,600 mAH, which allows 62 hours of pure music listening.

4. Waterproof and dust-tight

Hmm, yes! Waterproof is like that signature spec of Sony Xperia M series that people love. We find no reason why Sony would delete that from this upcoming flagship. And to make it even better, the Xperia M5 will be coming with dust-tight body that prevent any substances to sneak in and harm the chip set.

5. Gold color option for the first time

If you are a fan of smartphone with gold color option that makes the device look premium and classy, then this is good news for you. Sony hints that they are coming with a gold options for this Xperia M5 flagship. This, alone, is exciting enough for many Sony fans and add in to the reasons why this babe is so special and really worth waiting for.

Conclusion: Sony Xperia M5 availability and pricing

The device may be released in mid-August together with its fellow Xperia C5 Ultra. Although Sony did not reveal official announcement for Xperia M5 price yet, we predict it to be around USD 4oo, which is around PHP 18,3K in our currency.
