- I check the Xperia 5 IV against the 5 II to see how much has improved over two generations.
What do you think is the update enough for the 5 IV? - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

Nice overall upgrade from Xperia 5 and Xperia 5II. But I do think those with Xperia 5II don't really need the upgrade unless it's for the 4K 120fps on all lenses. Xperia 5II is still a beast in its own right, and pretty hard to get in the used market.
Thank you for the comparison.
It would be great if you could also do a comparison of 5ii with 5v.
Great comparison. Imagine would be similar for 1ii vs 1iv. I have the 1ii and am still loving it actually. Only thing I dislike is can't seemlessly change lenses when filming. But other than that, pretty solid and I actually reckon Andriod 12 update and other updates over time have improved the cameras even more! Imagine similar for 5ii.
thanks for making the comparison. I have the Xperia 5 II and I didn't know if it was worth the change because I like the Xperia, greetings from Honduras.
Thank you for the comparison video. I was afraid that the zoom of the 5 IV would feel like a step back coming from 5 II but now I see that although the reach is lower, it makes it up with higher sharpness and better hdr. Sharpness was definitely an issue with some manual shots with 5 II so I'm happy to see it enhanced.
I had the same feelings about the telelens.
I just bought a 5 Mark 2 in 2nd hand. Great deal and amazing phone!
I will get the 5 mark 🖐️ because my current phone still works and the name is more catchy 😏
Nice video, guess I'll be waiting until next year to upgrade. Also, for a 2 year old phone, it keeps running like a champ!!Wonder what Sony's got in store for us.
Thanks
Yes thumbs up
Any updation have 5 ii ?
I am so glad with my Xperia 5 IV, it`s so obvious wich is the better one bcz is new also. Just try to fine tune it with a good launcher and some swiping options so I can get it like the Iphone except with an more open Operating system as Android. Now need to learn how to make good pictures bcz for me making pictures was just open the cam app and take a picture this is more professional and you have to know how you take pictures with it if you wanna get technical and professional....
Anyone can share stable GCAM apk for xperia 5 ii? Cant find any stable apk .. please
Any tips for avoiding blurry photos? I have the 5 II and most pictures I take of my kids ( who aren't always still) come out blurry. An arm, or a hand, or a face will be blurry. Its very frustrating because the camera otherwise is great. My wifes pixel 6 pro is point and shoot and no blurry photos hardly ever even if the kids are running.
Try using the pro mode with the 20 fps burst mode ?
And make sure eye tracking is enabled
man, I remember taking a burst shot of two mi 28 flying by, and the rotors freezed on all of the pics because the shutter speed matched the rotors speed gosh I miss my 1 ii
Anyway here's a video that might help you

Thanks, now I don't know what to do, I have 5ii but don't see big changes , maybe I'll go for the pro I but I prefer the size of the 5 series 😵💫
My advice would be to keep your 5 II, at least up to the next Xperia announcement of 2023. Some very interesting rumors have been going around about their new model, including a potentially improved 70-200mm true optical zoom telephoto lens that may or may not end up on the 5 V.
If you're looking for an upgrade I think the 5 III would be a better choice depending on what you're doing. It has that 80-105mm telephoto lens which is very handy to have and you can find it for a fraction of its original price now. With it you're also getting an improvement in dynamic range, which is one of the big things Xperias need more of in my opinion.
The 5 IV's biggest upgrade over your current phone would be the 12mp Sony selfie camera and the 4k 120fps recording on all lenses but it does have a less-reaching telephoto camera.
Does the 5IV get much hotter than the 5II? I've got the older one and no problems at the moment.
Yes it gets hotter because of the worse performing CPU in that regard
Would you say the mkii is still worth a buy in 2022, or better the mkiii by now? I can't consider the IV due to the price being way to high for me. I usually have a 5 year usage of my phone's, and I honestly don't care about OS upgrades since they are more and more slightly incremental.
5 III as its security support is way longer
@@lltechview thanks so much for the reply, I may be wrong, did you review the mkiii on the channel?
@@hf7188 I did not only the 1 III
@@hf7188 I read reviews on YT saying best to stick to Mkii as Mkiii tends to heat up alot. I stand to be corrected.
Which is better in your opinion? xperia 5 iv or iphone 13 or 14 pro I meant the camera?
I honestly can't tell as I did not compare them yet. Maybe at one point I will.
Should have kept 70mm in the iv i think. Just that little bit better for soon shots etc. Why would you think they made it 60mm? Is it easier for portraits with bokeh or?
And my 5ii died 😭 at least... I washed it (with cold water, maybe he didnt like that too) and moist in the port i think while i used charger later 😭 now the screen doesnt work anymore. While the phone for the rest looks normal. The phone starts, all buttons work software seems normal but 0 screen responsiveness. I wanted to buy a sony phone again or fix the 5ii but it would be so expensive so now i bought the pixel 6a because it was also discounter but im kinda disappointed in Google. I expected more. So i will probably go back to Sony later this year and give the 6a to my mom. Might fix the 5ii it its cheap and it not i think ill buy a 5 series again but not a new one. Probably older model (newer than the 5ii) but when its discounter. But i dont know yet for sure.
Its learning lesson also, waterproof phones are not waterproof and i have to change my cleaning routine (btw it did work for almost 2 years haha)
What phone do you daily drive?
Huawei P50 Pro & Sony Xperia Pro i currently
Could you do a review on the p50 pro if you haven't already, my p30 needs to be upgraded and my previous phones before it were all Sony so I'm not sure if I want a pro I or the p50 pro
@@Moto-MX96 I did already. :)
Great review. What's the cheapest price one could find today for the 5 II? Thanks!
385€ new and 270€ used is what I found. Though of course that might change
@@lltechview thanks! do you have any links please? I'd prefer to buy a new one. Presumably from Germany, right?
@@lltechview BDW I live in Malta, so buying a phone within EU there won't be any extra fees.
@@knightofsg Just search on ebay you find a lot
Some 9 years ago I bought an Xperia ZL which Is still running! Then some 3 yrs ago a XIAOMI Mi 0T but the battery died and now the motherboard is faulty. So a Sony is in my wish list. Appologiesl for all these comments. 😃
5 ii!)
why does everyone skip a 5 iii vs 5 iv camera comparison
Honestly besides the selfie camera the IV feels like a step back, why is there so much sharpening applied? The whole appeal was to have a more natural look in camera with photo pro
I think it is to please the pixel peepers that were complaining about the softness of the image.
It is more important to compare mk3 and mk4. It is known that in mk4 we have telephoto downgrade. Smaller sensor (1/3.5'' vs 1/2.9") and 60mm focal length vs 70-105mm zoom. For me, this is a huge step backwards.
Very interesting comp 👍 Hard to recommend the additional 500€ of a 5iv over a used 5ii just for the cams.
But still hard to imagine what makes the difference between these two 🤔 Lens Quality could be a factor.
But just for testing, i would have downgraded the Firmware of 5ii to the version it was initially sold with. From time to time Manufacturers "optimize" the firmware as newer models came out and have to be sold 🤪
But the diference isnt big, and the OIS seems to be clearly improved. Could also be worn out but hwo knows ^^
They didn't really update the camera apps with the major android 12 update which I hoped to have the same as the 5iii but they just kept it the same :(
The 5iv does have 120fps on all back lenses though. The 5ii only on the main one
It's a big camera update
Doesn't really look like any difference, they are equally poor if put in relation to the price difference :)
i was already in plan to upgrade from xperia 1 mk1 to xperia 5 mk ii befofe this video.
Actually, i like the xperia mk2 video colors a little bit more than the mk 4 even though I know the colors on the xperia mk 4 are more accurate.
DONT GET THE 5 MARK 2!!! FAULTY samsung screen
@@fantasytky28 what's wrong with the screen? I used it for 2 years already before upgrading to 5 IV
@@legolaswong the green line issue. If you have been using without issue then shall be fine. But a lot of people have been getting green line this year on 5 ii
@@hilazious it does not but only 5m2 having so much of green line issues across so many Xperia oled series
@@hilazious I mean it's normal on Samsung phones, but on Xperia, green line are quite rare except 5 m ii that have very high green line issues. Same for the other brand that use similar time/batch of Samsung screen
Is xperia 5 iv has camera clicking sound while it power on??
Yes it also has this clicking sound if you listen carefully you here it.
Bro Xperia 5 IV vs Xperia 5 lll please
Would live to do this but do not own the 5 III
Nice comparison proving my fears about both of them - photo quality is rather passable then very good or great. And it's not good at all considering the price of these devices and Sony Alpha / Zeiss marketing tricks. In other words, nothing amazing if you're after great photos and videos. Disappointing.
I wouldn't say that. The quality is not extraordinary but on par with other flagships. If you want more punchy colours and less darken shadows its just two sliders away and you get the same output as on a Huawei P50 Pro, Apple iPhone or Samsung Galaxy minis the oversharpening and overdoing it with colours
@@lltechview The problem is that other flagships a way more available and many of them are significantly cheaper. Just take Pixel 6 Pro. It's at least twice cheaper than Xperia 5 IV and wins in photo and video departments most of the time without much oversharpening. Another example is old good Huawei Mate 20 Pro. I rediscovered it for myself recently and was shocked how good it is especially with AI switched off. It easily beats Xperia 1 II most of the time. I compared both phones side by side.
@@victorrumyantsev3718 That might be for photos. Videos 4k 120fps however and seamless zoom is better on the Sony. Especially the colours when switching.
But yeah we could debate that not enough has changed from the Mark 2 to the Mark 4 and I would agree.
The Mate 20 Pro is still a great device but I am not sure it can beat the 5 IV
@@lltechview Yes, I was talking about photos, not videos. I'm not really interested in taking videos - consider it a nice addition to photo camera, nothing more. From what I saw coming out from Mate 20 Pro, it certainly can beat Xperia 5 IV and III in few scenarios and occasions, especially in macro and night mode. And again, color reproduction on it with AI switched off is very natural, performance - surprisingly smooth, price - $250 against $1000.
Where is 5 iii
