The "Sony Xperia M5" can also be considered as one of the best smartphones yet. It basically has all the things you need in a good smartphone. It has the IP68 certification for its waterproof and dust resistant built and it can withstand being submerged to 1.5 meters of water for up to thirty minutes. The "Sony Xperia M5" looks virtually the same as the M4 with a 5 inch screen. However, the M5 is a bit of an upgrade as it has a Full HD resolution and its RAM is 3 GB. The back camera is a massive 21.5 MP and the front camera carries an impressive 13 MP.
The M5 has an optional Dual Sim support. Its OS is an Android v5.0 Lollipop and as to the processors, it uses Octa-core 2.0GHz Cortex-A53; Mediatek MT6795 Helio X10, and PowerVR G6200. The "Sony Xperia M5" has 16 GB storage with a micro SD slot.

The "Sony Xperia M5" uses a non removable 2600 mAh battery, which is a little bit more than that of the M4 Aqua. However, according to GSMarena, that extra units may not be enough to cater to the Helio X10 chip and the improved screen resolution.

The Full HD resolution provides a crisper display and the display can fit in more content. On the software department, the M5 does well.
