Sony has confirmed today that it is again joining IFA. And first on their itinerary is a keynote that will start at 9:00 CEST or 16:00 Japan time. This will be streamed on different social media channels of the company, including YouTube.

Sony Xperia 5 V launch date (and release)

Although they haven’t confirmed which device will actually debut on the given date, it is safe to say that the flagship Xperia 5 ‘Mark’ V is the highlight and could break cover during the event. It was remembered last year that the Xperia 5 IV (review) was made official on September 1. Hence, Sony would likely keep the tradition ongoing, at least through the cadence.

It’s also possible that the rumored Sony Xperia 7 is on the cards as well. The mid-range Android is said to offer better specs than the Xperia 10 V (review) and just below the Xperia 5. But since the device was reported, there have been no concrete follow-ups.

Sony Xperia 5 V specs

When it comes to the Xperia 5 V, a supposed promotional video indicates that the device is getting a revamped design. At the same time, the rear camera setup was revealed with two sensors as opposed to three of the ‘Mark’ four. As such, it may share a 48 MP main sensor with the Xperia 1 V that Benj tested.

The remaining specs could include a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip paired with 16 GB of RAM. Meanwhile, its battery capacity may stick at 5000 mAh along with 30 W charging. The device should boot on Android 13 OS and receive two OS upgrades similar to the Sony Xperia 1 V and Xperia 10 V, although we’re hoping Sony can surprise us here.
