    The Sony Xperia E5 is an Android smartphone with a good, large display. It is very suitable for surfing and emailing and good for GPS and navigation. It also offers a good backup solution: data can be backed up automatically or manually to a micro SD card via the settings menu. Less pleasing: the device shows weaknesses in network sensitivity...

    Sony launches a new entry-level model on the market with the Xperia E5. The specifications show it as such, the test confirms the assumptions, partly even with outliers in the mid-range. Nevertheless, it is difficult to warmly recommend the Sony Xperia E5. The price is absolutely at the upper limit of the entry-level segment ?...
