Details on the Sony Xperia 5 V predicted release date, Sony Xperia 5 V rumored specs, and Sony Xperia 5 V likely price are all very thin on the ground. Nothing has been confirmed at this stage yet, but there have been some rumored leaks as to some of the specifications and when we might see this new phone appear.

Read below for all the latest info.

Sony Xperia 5 V release date window estimate

As reported on Notebookcheck, October 2023 is a likely period that we’ll see the Xperia 5 V release window.

Sony Xperia 5 V rumored specs

Sumadigest has reported a leak on Weibo that suggests the following specifications as listed below, but take these with a rather hefty pinch of salt, as this leaker has been known to be a bit hit and miss. Still, there’s nothing particularly outlandish in these claims, with the Xperia 5 V specs being quite similar to that of the Xperia 1 V (the ‘5’ line being the smaller range).

• CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (i.e. SM8550)
• Display: 6.1″ FHD
• Camera: 12 MP f2.2 16 mm, 48 MP f1.9 24 mm, 12 MP f2.4 60 mm setup. This brings the wide camera up from the 12 MP variant found in the Xperia 5 IV to possibly the 48 MP Sony Exmor T unit found in this year’s Xperia 1 V
• RAM: 8GB/12GB
• Storage: 128GB/256GB
• Operating System: Android 13
• Battery: 5,000 mAh battery

Sony Xperia 5 V predicted price

There is absolutely zero information on the likely Xperia 5 V price at this stage, however we know that the Sony Xperia 5 IV had a starting MSRP of $999 / £949, which was a price increase from the $949 / £899 Sony Xperia 5 III before it.

We don’t expect that Sony will hike their prices two years in a row, so expect the Sony Xperia 5 V price to remain $999 / £949.
