The Sony Xperia M5, which was unveiled at the beginning of last month, is heading to India and Hong Kong today, according to Sony’s social media accounts.
The ‘super mid-range’ smartphone arrives with a Rs. 37,990 (HK$ 3,698, £372, €512, $572) price tag, which might prove to be a tough sell against the low cost competition in India.

For a recap of the specifications, the Xperia M5 comes with a 5.0-inch Full HD display, a 64-bit octa-core MediaTek Helio X10 SoC, 3GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory, with a microSD card slot for expansion if desired. The phone ships with a 21 megapixel rear camera that features Hybrid Autofocus. There’s also a 13 megapixel front facing camera for high resolution selfies, although there isn’t a flash on the front like there is with the Xperia C5.
The phone also comes with a 2,600mAh battery, Android 5.0 Lollipop on board, and IP65 and IP68 certifications for water and dust resistance. It’s not quite clear if this is the dual-SIM version of the Xperia M5 or not in India, although there’s a strong change that it is.
The Xperia M5 will be available in black, white and gold colours. We will keep an eye out for a list of retailers.
