Earlier today Sony announced the Xperia C5 Ultra, but in case you’re after a slightly more rugged handset, you might be interested to learn that Sony has also announced the Sony Xperia M5. Just like what we’ve seen in the leaks, it seems that now the handset has been officially confirmed.
It also addresses one of the teasers that Sony put out last week in which they hinted at something gold would be coming, which is actually one of the colors of the Xperia M5. Moving on to the rest of the phone, the Xperia M5 is smaller than the Xperia C5 Ultra with a 5-inch Full HD display.
It will feature a waterproof design and under the hood, a 64-bit octa-core MediaTek Helio X10 processor clocked at 2GHz can be found, where it will also be accompanied by 3GB of RAM and support for 4G LTE networks. There will be a 21.5MP rear-facing camera with 5x Clear Image Zoom with a 0.25 second hybrid autofocus system, and a 13MP front-facing camera.
Like we said earlier, gold will be one of the color options that Sony will be offering, but for those who aren’t a fan of the gold finish, the Xperia M5 will also be available in white or black. Pricing is unknown at this point in time, but it is expected to be released mid-August in selected markets.
