• Battery: Extended standby and Ultra STAMINA Mode
• Design: IP65/68

Hybrid Autofocus
The Xperia™ M5 is equipped with Hybrid Autofocus, which lets you capture action and movement accurately in various shooting conditions. Hybrid Autofocus uses two technologies to produce crisp and clear photos: Phase detection AF (PDAF) for faster shutter speed response and Contrast detection AF for added precision.
Extended standby
Switch on extended standby to make battery standby time last longer. Your apps and functions will be turned off when you’re not using the display. However, you’ll still receive calls, texts, alarms and your choice of app notifications. Press the power button and everything is up and running again.
Water and Dust Protection
The Xperia™ M5 is designed for both functionality and durability. You can carry your device in the beach or during harsh weather and trust that it is protected from dust and moisture.
4G LTE
The 64-bit Octa-core Xperia™ M5 has a built-in Cat4 4G/LTE modem. This enables Internet connections of up to 150 Mbit/s download and 50 Mbit/s upload speeds.
