Snapdragon 855 sits at the core here, paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage, so day-to-day performance and app loading won't be an issue even a few years after release. The 6.1-inch OLED display runs an unusual 21:9 ratio at 449 ppi, making it noticeably taller and narrower than most phones, which suits one-handed use and widescreen video playback.

The triple 12MP rear camera system is the standout here: wide, telephoto with 2x optical zoom, and ultrawide, all backed by 5-axis OIS across the main and zoom lenses. That's rare stabilization coverage at this price point. Battery capacity is modest at 3140 mAh, but 18W fast charging and USB Power Delivery 2.0 help offset shorter runtime. Sony Xperia 5 price in Malaysia starts from RM2590.

Build quality leans premium too, with Gorilla Glass 6 on front and back, an aluminum frame, and IP65/IP68 water and dust resistance. It ships in Blue, Red, Black, and Grey.
