Sony has made an all-new smartphone for the mid-range market, once again using a MediaTek processor with a moderately sized display.

On the front of the Xperia E5, you get a 5” display with 720p resolution. No word on whether there is any protection. You do get Category 4 LTE as well as optional Dual-SIM support.

  • Sony is thinking we are fool(which I am) while in Pakistan we have QMobile Z12 with Better RAM and Better Internal Storage And Low in Budget
    :D

    • Bhai yeh over priced hai maan lia, bt qmobile se compare ker k kesi b top brand ki tauheen na karo :)

        • ap log bus brands k dewany rahen aur iPhone le bus :D wo b 80k k choony k sath LoLxxx

          • You might compare Q-mobile with Sony phones as they both are running on Android OS but you can’t compare an iPhone with any Android phone as the OS is different!

            P.S. Aap jaise log kuch bhi bol lein, baad mein kehte hain, ‘Bhai iPhone iPhone hi hai’ :P

      • Sony Ericsson Ka K750 K ilawa Koi Mobile Kisi Bhi Time Main Top Par Nahi Raha
        Jub Media Tek K Prosser Use Karain Gay To Bhi Price Chinese Model Se Hi Compare Ki Jay G Na K Snapdragon Or Exynos Prosser Model K Sath
        Qmobile Or Sony Ka Sub Se Bara Difference Display or Camera Ha Jo Pakistanio Ki Nazar Main Na 3 Main Ha Na 13 Main

  • lol MediaTek MT6735 for 24k with only 1.5gb ram? even infinix note 2(costs 16k) have better specs MediaTek MT6753 with 2gb ram. 24k is not even the local price. It should have been priced between 14-18k.

  • Sony is class of its own. Good quality hardware and perfectly optimize software.
    The good thing is the quick android update.

      • You mean to say, Sony’s display quality is equal to qmobile’s display, sony’s cam quality is equal to qmobile’s cam quality, sony’s build quality is equal to qmobile’s build quality. Sony’s R&D quality is equal to qmobile’s R&D quality ?
        You just enjoy your “q” here is nothing for “u” .

        • Brother Q is not a manufacturer not even assembler. Its an importer with customized brand of its own…… so z12 is not manufactured by Q

          • Article is written for the xperia not for the “q”.
            I always recommend branded phones, like Samsung, Sony, Apple, LG.
            Majority of Pakistan don’t like the”q”

      • Bhai Sony is excellent in software stability and updates which matter most of the users. And also Sony is great at other general hardware.

      • Hardware main build quality, screen quality,speakers etc bhi atay hain.
        Sony ka software bohut stable hai aur tez. Infinix ki unoptimised UI kabhi muqable nahi kar sakti Sony ka, 3GB RAM k sath bhi nahi.
        Aur updates to daitay hain an Sony walay. Samsung aur Infinix ki tarha to nahi k phone bech diya phir bhool gaye.

        • Infinix k to sab sets k updates aati bhai u ny konsa use kr lia :p

            • Both my Note 2 and Hot 2 got the marshmallow update three days after I got the phone. And don’t know what unoptimized UI you are talking about either. I would take it any day over the fugly, bloated Xperia skin. I had an Xperia T and i remember navigating on it seemed like wading through mud.

              • Hot 2 was released 7 months ago in Pakistan and is an Android One device in Africa not so not giving updates would have been unjustified. I’m talking about the original hot.
                With the battery size some Infinix Phones have they should last much longer. It’s because of the unoptimised UI.
                Xperia T was ages ago (2012) and was a product from the Sony Ericsson pipeline. Sony revamped the UI in KK which was the most stable and long lasting KK amongst all phones. Since LP they went for a minimalistic approach. Marshmallow is nearly stock. They are testing stock Android based UI since mid last year. Sony has come a long way in reducing/removing the cluttered UI. Comes second to Motorola’s simplistic UI.

  • its a good phone on paper but why so frugal on the ram ?!

    also , at THIS price , a fingerprint scanner is a MUST !

  • say no to mediatekk powered phones otherwise you people will cry for battery.

    • MediaTek ka kui qasoor nahi hai. Unoptimised OS ho ga to kharab chalay ga. Sony k sab phone jin main Mediatek hai, un ki battery timings Snapdragons sai behter rahi hain pichlay saal.

    • To be honest, I’m always crying for low battery on my snapdragon based lg g3, whereas my mediatek powered note 2 easily lasts me an entire day of heavy usage, and then taking only half an hour to juice back up.
