Sony C5 Ultra use two LCD suppliers

Anyone know what is the LCD hardware for SG stock? Or encounter similar yellow or blue color issue when at 45 degree viewing angle?

Wonderful phone but with POWER button flaw

I got my white C5 Ultra for 4 days already. Thoroughly like the phone as really value for money at only $470 with such a long feature list.

Came to know about the LCD issues on second day of ownership. Checked that the LCD is from Innolux with Synaptic touch screen, and no yellowish tint when view at an angle. Really sighed a big relief. After tweaking the white balance, the screen is really bright and beautiful, not the default whitish tint.

But what I cannot tahan is that the phone has resetted itself a few times when it got warm, the screen became not responsive and reset itself after about a minute, not sure what is the issue hopefully can be remedied by a firmware update later on, which is rumoured to be released soon.

The tiny power button can also be jammed at its depressed position easily if you press it abit hard and at certain angle, causing the phone to reset itself. Wonder if any owner encounter this? I would be very forgiving if the phone come with 'double tap' wake up feature, too bad not there.

So to me, this phone would be perfect if the above 2 flaws could corrected. Now keeping the phone till I cannot tahan.

The power button issue looks like hardware issue. Should get it 1 to 1 exchange? Otherwise should get it fix at service center.

been a week or so using my C5 ultra, few things i noticed from using the phone

1) sometime click on the screen not responsive, i dunno if it's because of my screen protector but will need to click 1-2 times to hit the icon

2) you have to use your thumb to click most of the stuffs, if using index finger sometime the phone won't detect the click (same issue as 1)

3) phone gets hot easily, dunno if it's because of my casing but i dont think it will get till so hot as compared to my Z ultra.

any of you experience the same as me?

Don't know whether to get C5 Ultra or Samsung Galaxy A8.
Digging on the bezel-less design and the good camera of the C5, but digging on the slim and sleek design, and the good camera too of the A8, the fingerprint sensor is another good add-on too.

Tempered glass SP that feels smoother than low quality glass SP.

Finally got this phone from fareast Plaza, now the price is just good at $460.

first impressions, the phone is slightly heavy though not as light as the more popular C3 older sibling but still bearable, the thin bezels are the huge attractive side of this Sony model, really loving it! The gloss back is a fingerprint magnet through, Def need to get a case.

Operation is quite smooth and fast without hiccups, not much issues when playing heavy gfx demanding games.

Camera as most said is just so so but acceptable. Battery life seems OK for me as well but Def a step behind Z3 or the compact series.

Overall a good mid ranger that has the attractive thin bezels of those HTC premium models.

have to do reset (remember do not delete data) as the factory image having issue. Many users reported this touch screen responsive issue.

 

[curryfish8]

actually i realised the charging for C5 take much longer as compared to the Z Ultra.. i dunno if your phone charge the same speed too

Is this a dual sim 4G phone?

Is this a dual sim 4G phone?

I believe that all local sets are only single-sim models. You might have to look outside of Singapore for dual-sim ones.

 

[curryfish8]

when do you thnk 6.0 will be release for us? my guess would be it will be released near the end of the year..

After getting a matt screen protector and back casing, my experience with C5 Ultra became much better.

With the slight recess of the screen in the back casing, I no longer "mis-touch" the screen when holding the phone. The matt screen protector removes a lot of reflections. Though screen now appears darker, I just crank up the brightness abit to compensate which put it at just about 20% of its maximum level.

The phone also no longer shutdown when it got warmer after a firmware reload.

Really worth it at this price point.

Yes this is one of the more beautifully designed sony xperia phone series, the almost border less design is a winner.
