“The Xperia C5 Ultra is certainly big but it's just 6mm taller and 2mm wider than the latest 5.5 iPhone 6s Plus. And for those few extra mm you're getting half an inch of extra screen. The hardware in the Xperia C5 Ultra as is capable as most other midrange rival priced around the €400 mark and does better than most Snapdragon-615-powered alternatives. The impressive selfie sensor is quite a bonus if you have a use for it. The big display with ultra slim bezels makes this one different than most Xperia phones, in a good way.It's the glossy rear though that almost ruins a great impression and while this is purely a matter of taste, the poor grip is a tangible disadvantage. Let's put it this way, you'll be doing yourself a favor by getting a bumper case. It'll improve both the handling and the looks.”

“The Sony Xperia C5 Ultra isn’t a perfect phone. The battery life is one of its main drawbacks and it is a large phone that might turn some people off. Its camera quality isn’t impressive in low light either. But it has a great screen, good audio quality, a good camera (in good lighting conditions) and most of all it does what it meant to really well. It is a really good selfie-centric smartphone as the front camera is easily one of the best we’ve seen on any smartphone if not the best. Even though it was launched at Rs. 29,999, it can now be found for around Rs. 27,500 which still is pricey especially when compared to what most Chinese manufacturers are offering. But it is a Sony smartphone and the brand name along with the good build quality and reputation comes at a price. If selfies are a big part of your social life, this is one smartphone that you can’t go wrong with.”
