It's impossible for this sensor to do 2x lossless zoom. That's the max in theory (48/2x2=12mp). But you always lose lot of absolute resolution. Realistically is more like 1.5x zoom. Images from gsmarena show clearly lot of detail loss even though they missed it.

I feel somewhat conflicted about the new dual-camera setup. While I am happy to see the 1 Mk5's primary camera made its way here, I think Sony can keep the 5 Mk4's native 2.5x zoom telephoto camera. I know the primary camera can do up to 3x lossless zoom, but keeping the telephoto camera for Portrait photography won't hurt.

Other than that, it's the familiar Xperia 5 as always. I'm even surprised this new phone is shorter than last year's predecessor while maintaining the 5000mAh battery capacity.

Sony has now presented the Xperia 5 V, the smaller alternative to the Xperia 1 V. As expected, the Xperia 5 V combines many of the features of its larger sibling in a significantly smaller package. The Xperia 5 V will be available in three colours for €999 but only with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage globally.
