Singapore, 3rd
August 2015 – Sony
Mobile Communications (“Sony Mobile”) today reveals two new smartphones with the
introduction of Xperia C5 Ultra and Xperia M5 to its impressive range of
devices. Offering advances in camera, design, battery and performance, the
products support Sony’s leadership in the smartphone market.
“We are pleased to present two

Category Business Management at Sony Mobile Communications. “We understand that
camera capabilities are important to smartphone users, so we ensured that
Sony’s existing camera brilliance was once again surpassed in the new Xperia C5
Ultra and Xperia M5 without compromising on other features across design and
performance.”
Xperia C5
Ultra – the all new PROselfie smartphone with two 13-megapixel cameras and an innovative near
borderless 6” Full HD display
Starting with the Xperia C3, Sony Mobile has
been the front runner to address the digital native’s need with our PROselfie
offering. Xperia C5 Ultra incorporates
an industry first twin 13-megapixel front and rear camera, which offers
stunning high-resolution imagery. Whether you’re shooting incredible scenery or
taking a selfie with friends, your images are always captured in crystal clear
quality. Both cameras include Sony’s leading Exmor RS™ sensor, HDR for picture and video, and an easy to use preset Auto
scene recognition mode that
analyses and adjusts settings automatically to give the perfect results every
time.
Selfies are also enhanced with
the integration of Sony’s enhanced Selfie Flash that supports the front camera and
lightens up more of the frame to ensure every part of your photograph’s beauty
is captured. The device’s 22mm wide-angle lens also means that you can fit more
in the frame. Unleash your creativity with a host of Selfie
camera applications that
are available to download.
Xperia C5 Ultra provides a high
quality viewing experience, with its large display, complete with a super-thin
bezel for a near borderless display. The large 6” Full HD display with IPS
featuring Sony’s TV technology Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 lets you enjoy your
videos and pictures in the finest detail. A one-handed operation mode is also
available to help you easily use the device with options for both right-handed
and left-handed users.
With an aluminium frame and
three colour variations, including black, white and a glossy soft mint, Xperia C5 Ultra offers a premium design,
whilst allowing you to showcase your individual style. Sleek, stylish and a
comfortable fit in the hand, Xperia C5 Ultra feels as good as it looks.
Performance is assured thanks
to the advanced 1.7 GHz 64 bit Octa-core processor with 2GB RAM and 4G network
support for a fast user experience. With the reliable up to two-day battery life(1),
and up to 7 hours 47 minutes(2) of video playback, you will never
have to worry about losing power during important moments. What’s more, Ultra
STAMINA Mode optimises battery usage further to ensure it is used most
effectively.
Xperia
M5 – Sony camera brilliance packed in a premium waterproof(3) design
Following
Xperia M4 Aqua’s success in raising the bar and defining the “super mid-range”
with its camera leadership, Xperia M5 has an even more impressive 21.5MP rear camera that lets you
snap extraordinary moments like a
pro. When
you can’t get near enough to your subject, 5x Clear Image Zoom allows you to
get close without losing any quality.
Sometimes you only get one chance to get the shot right. With
a 0.25-second Hybrid autofocus, Xperia M5 provides fast and accurate autofocus shooting
so you capture the moment as it happens. The new Hybrid AF technology packs in
both Phase Detection AF and Contrast Detection AF, and at a speed that is
industry leading.
With the power to capture videos in 4K, Xperia
M5 offers the quality and
performance of a compact digital camera. The result is sharp, clear and bright footage every
time.
Sony’s
camera brilliance doesn’t end there - Xperia M5 has a powerful 13MP front-facing
‘selfie cam’, which also comes with integrated autofocus and Full-HD video
recording, so you can take exquisite selfies to share with friends and family.
What’s
more, a host of camera applications elevate your selfies to the next level – including
Face in picture, AR mask and Style portrait.
Boasting
a sharp, bright and vivid 5” Full HD display, your favourite Sony entertainment
will really come to life. Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2
gives you enhanced sharpness and contrast for immersive viewing, whilst IPS ensures
excellent viewing at any angle and accurate colours from edge to edge.
Unique
like our flagship devices, Xperia M5 is also waterproof and dust-tight(3), with a capless USB port for added convenience
and easy charging. With a
waterproof smartphone, you don’t need to worry if your device gets dirty, just
rinse it off under the tap. It is also protected against accidental splashes,
so you can use your Xperia M5 under the rain or shine, wherever you are.
For
beauty and perfection in every direction, Xperia M5 features Sony’s
distinctive design with the OmniBalance style in a sleek premium glass finish on both sides.
It is also designed for durability with stainless steel corners to protect
against bumps.
Xperia
M5 integrates a large 2,600mAh battery offering up to two-days battery life(1), so you don’t have to worry about charging
your phone every day. An
impressive 64-bit 2.0
GHz Octa-core
processor powered by MediaTek Helio X10 with 3GB RAM provides amazing
performance and speed to optimise your battery life. Meanwhile, ultra-fast
smartphone connectivity is enabled with 4G, for quick downloading of audio and video
content.
Both Xperia C5 Ultra and
Xperia M5 also have an expandable memory with up to 200GB uSD card.
