Price last checked: 20 Jun 2018. Confirm current price before buying.
Budget shoppers get a Mediatek MT6735 quad-core chipset paired with 1.5GB RAM here, which puts the Xperia E5 firmly in entry-level territory rather than anywhere near flagship performance. The 5-inch IPS screen runs at 720 x 1280 pixels, sharp enough for everyday browsing and messaging without pretending to be a media powerhouse. Storage sits at 16GB, but there's a dedicated microSD slot supporting up to 256GB if that's tight.
The rear camera is a 13MP unit with autofocus and LED flash, backed by a 5MP front shooter, decent enough for casual photos rather than low-light work. A 2700 mAh battery keeps things running, and the phone ships with Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box. Sony Xperia E5 price in Malaysia starts from RM310, making it one of the more affordable options in Sony's lineup at the time.
It comes in Graphite Black and White, with NFC, GPS and LTE support rounding out a fairly standard connectivity package for its class.
