Hi all.

Picked up an Xperia 5 for just under £500 in the Black Friday sale (early Black Friday sale!), thanks to some vouchers for Currys I had. 

I had an Xperia 1 earlier this year but didn't last long with it as I felt it was a little too big, and the software was really buggy. Camera crashes, slow to shoot pics etc. 

This Xperia 5 seems much better, Camera doesn't seem to be so slow as the 1 was, even in low light, so I'm guessing that some software updates have rectified that. 

The front facing camera is absolutely dreadful, one of the worst I've ever seen / used. The recent DXO Mark also confirms this...!

I love the build quality, size, shape, feel in hand etc. I went with the grey version and it is absolutely stunning. Picked up a clear gel case for it which arrived today. Battery seems pretty solid to me, moreso than I imagined it would, but Sony is quite good at optimising their batteries. 

Looking forward to spending a little more time with it and really putting it through it's paces. 

How is everyone enjyoing (or not...!) their Xperia 5's?!

Let us see if you are as happy as you are now once the FPS starts acting up

No acting up yet, but I have added my thumb print three times as 'new finger prints'. So it never fails now.

Got my phone today FPS is perfect but seems a bit slow than expected.

Camera seems to be on par with my XS. 

Headphone quality is slightly worse while using my Bose headphones.
