The Xperia 5 V underwent the DxOMark camera test, and the results were released on Wednesday (4). Initially, the device scored 118 points, which placed it far behind the top-ranking models on the site, landing it in the 69th position. Nevertheless, it still managed to outscore some popular models, such as the iPhone 12 and 12 mini. Not only that, but it also surpassed the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G (Snapdragon version).

Conclusion
In general, DxOMark asserts that the model presented some interesting improvements compared to its predecessor. In this regard, it performed well in both photo and video, but it fell short by not featuring a dedicated sensor for zoom photography.
It’s worth noting that the model comes with a camera module consisting of two sensors, with the main one being 48MP with an f/1.9 aperture and OIS, while the auxiliary has 12MP, f/2.2 aperture, and is dedicated for ultra-wide photos.
