Sony Xperia C5 Ultra Dual Review

Selfies are all the rage right now and Sony seems to understand that better than most other companies. The Sony Xperia C5 Ultra is the successor to the Xperia C4 that came out earlier this year. Like the Xperia C4, the Xperia C5 Ultra is also a...

Great Bezel-Less Screen; Good Sunlight Legibility; Excellent Front Facing Camera; Good Rear Camera (In Well Lit Conditions); Good Audio Quality; Dual SIM with 4G LTE Support; microSD Card Slot

Low Light Performance is Noisy; No 4K Video Recording; Battery Life not Good Enough; Slightly priced on the higher side

The Sony Xperia C5 Ultra isn’t a perfect phone. The battery life is one of its main drawbacks and it is a large phone that might turn some people off. Its camera quality isn’t impressive in low light either. But it has a great screen, good audio...

Review: Sony Xperia C5 Ultra (E5553)

Budget phablets tend to attract attention, and Sony's C5 Ultra is certainly doing that, boasting a lovely 6 inch screen and 4G for just over $500. So what's wrong with the phone?

Fantastic practically edge-to-edge display; Screen is visible in direct sunlight; Despite the plastic build, the C5 Ultra feels great in the hand; Upgradeable storage; Excellent 4G speeds;

Phone tends to reset itself or crashes hard, forcing a multi-button power down; No waterproofing; Camera isn’t the fastest to load; Mediocre camera; Fingerprint magnet;

Sony Xperia C5 Ultra review - The Times of India

Sony's new Xperia C5 Ultra is a big screen smartphone that targets the selfie aficionados with its 13MP front camera and flash. At Rs 29,990, the phone faces tough competition from value-for-money phones like the OnePlus 2 and Asus Zenfone 2 Deluxe.

- Super thin bezel ; - Good battery backup ; - Excellent front camera performance

If you can make do with a slightly smaller display but need a selfie-focused phone, there are a number of good options available in the market. HTC offers some good selfie phones including the One E9+ and One M8 Eye. If you're not finicky about the...

Awesome!

I came across this phone on Sony's website & was amazed at the specs so decided to give it a try. After having used it for a week I must say this is one of the best phones I've used from the world's leading brands @ an unbelievable price.

Great phone, great price

I bought this phone to replace my wife's aging xperia ZL. We both love the edge to edge display and it looks really good in white. The back is made of high quality plastic that feels and looks good and does not feel cheap like samsung plastic. Compared...
