Dont buy M5 Experia from Sony
Vijaysanker Kartha (Jan 22, 2016)
on Gadgets 360
undI had purchased this mobile M5 on 9 Jan 2016 vide Invoice No. SLF02A011020102719 from Croma store Pune, Aundh., after using Sony mobile M5 very happily for Two years.
I think I made a mistake doing this. This mobile has major issues:
1. The battery life is being claimed to be 2 days by you. The M@ dual used to give me around 30 hours after a full charge. This one gives just about 9 or 10 Hours?.. ???
2. The mobile goes of for no reason unexpectedly anytime of the day or night, even when the battery has enough charge. Then the switch on button does not work. One has to connect the mobile to a charger or to a PC to switch on the mobile. This has happened around 10 + times in the last 13 days.
3. The mobile goes to one way communication, suddenly. The party cannot hear me and I can hear the party, irrespective of whether it is an incoming call or an outgoing call. And it remains this way until and unless the mobile is restarted. Real top irritant
4. One App downloaded from Playstore, Paid app, used to work well on M2. but on this it repeatedly hangs. I had sent error reports on this may times. but it continues.
Is it possible for me to return this mobile? I had an option of buying Apple and I did not, due to the good experience I had with Sony M2.

I bought xperia M5 March 27, 2016. It went off Arpil 8, 2016. I thought it was only lowbat so I charged it for 5 hours when I turn it on, nothing happen, phone is dead. I went to the sonny store, they told me that they have a problem like this on the first batch, but mine is not from first batch. So there is a problem on this kind of unit. Pls don?t sell defective CP.

Using this phone for three weeks. It's really awesome. I request everyone not to put reviews without using the phone. I am a rough user. I have played almost all the high level games (About 7). It never lagged. One more thing battery is just 2600mah. If you bought this phone then you must not comment anything about this phone. Because you must have known a Octa-Core 2 GHz MT6795T and a PowerVR G6200 will definitely consume much battery. My battery still stands for about 13Hrs (3G, Location and Auto-Sync ON!!!). One more important thing my phone has never turned off automatically. What else you need at a rate cap of 35K?? Camera still stands first when compared to the other phones. Sound quality is good as well. I am very happy buying this phone.

The most awaited phone (from my side)
Naveen Kumar Kotta (Aug 6, 2015)

The phone has got an extraordinary features. I can say no phone can beat this flagship up to its price mark. I would like to suggest designers that this phone would be better if it has:
Screen size > 5inches
Battery >=3000mah
Resolution >500ppi.
That's it. Any way I'm going to buy this phone.
Waiting for reviews.

the worst smart phone I've ever own.. it's so horrible that not even sony wants it again...
Rear camera focus issues, battery life and overheating, buggy system impossible to update.. crashes to full hard reset level way too often...
I don't take showers with my phone... so no.. I have nothing nice to say about this horrible thing..

Most worst customer service

I have purchased a SONY XPERIA M5 Duel mobile phone in Jan 2016, after couple of months it started switching off automatically & getting on only after connecting with charger.
I have visited Service Center for the same & I was told need to update SOFTWARE which was updated 2 days ago. I was asked to wait for 2 hrs for doing so.
I received my handset back after updating the software but same problems was persist in handset.
I resubmitted the handset in same service center & i was informed that your handset will be repaired with 7 working days.
When i inquired about status after 8 days , i was told that it is with higher authorities & it will take between 21 to 30 days since some of parts are not available in Head office of Sony.
I don't understand that why parts not available in Head office of SONY for the product which was launched in last year only.
Why Service center or Customer care executive dont have any information about time required for repair the product ?
If the repair going to take more than a month , why sony not issue a stand by mobile for customer's ?
Is sony going to extend warranty of product by same period ?
Defiantly the worst, third class level Service by any company.
Surely am not going to refer any one to buy sony product.

All sorts of problems.
The phone constantly gets stuck/crashes and has to be reset.
There's often a lag between touching something and then the phone reacting. This is especially true for typing which ends up being painfully slow.
The phone will get hot all of a sudden for no reason. I'm not even using it and I can feel it getting hot in my pocket. When that happens, the battery runs out very quickly.
When I switch on the flashlight, it sometimes becomes impossible to switch it off because the screen won't light up.
Will never but Sony again.

Xperia M5 Dual - Non Waterproof Mobile
Kathir Vel (Nov 29, 2015)
on Gadgets 360
Don't take your mobile(xperia M5) either near Tap water or even in the rain. Its just a normal mobile. Bought an xperia and just tested in tap water. The screen is filled with water & The device & touch screen is not working is not working. In service center they informed that this damage wont come under warranty & the responds is also not proper. Waste of money and our trust towards sony is now below the line. Will ever & never step in to your product again.
