Sony is not a dominant player in the Android smartphone ecosystem. This is despite the company's imaging division supplying camera sensors and other components for the best Android phones. Nonetheless, Sony has not given up on its smartphone division, as it keeps releasing a new Xperia flagship yearly. Even with high-end specs and a headphone jack, 2022's Xperia 5 IV felt a few years late. For 2023, the company is back with its new flagship phone, the Xperia 5 V, packing a next-gen Exmor T camera sensor and an FHD+ 120Hz OLED display.
