Product overview
13- megapixel twin cameras
The Xperia™ C5 Ultra sports front and rear facing 13-megapixel cameras. The Xperia™ C5 Ultra uses
Sony’s Exmor RS mobile sensor and HDR technology to provide sharp and clear images when taking
photos or selfies using your smartphone. When used with Superior Auto mode, both the front and rear
facing cameras can capture crisp photos in a variety of scenes and lighting conditions.
Selfie camera that performs in any light
The Xperia™ C5 Ultra’s front facing camera uses a soft LED Selfie Flash for illuminating scenes when
you’re taking photos of yourself or a group of people with you. Unlike the smartphone flash found on other
devices, the flash on the Xperia™ C5 Ultra is square instead of round so it lights up more of the frame
when you’re taking a photograph. The flash also automatically adjusts to the lighting conditions to provide
the appropriate illumination for a particular scene. The front facing camera also has a wide 22 mm lens
with an 88-degree field of view that can handle photos involving a group of people.
An almost borderless 6” Full HD display
With a wafer-thin bezel, the Xperia™ C5 Ultra’s large 6” display is almost all screen. The 6” screen is
reinforced by an aluminium frame with a slight curve for a comfortable feel. In addition, the Xperia™ C5
Ultra uses Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 technology to produce crisp images, accurate colours and
enhanced contrast.
ClearAudio+ Sony Audio technology
The Xperia™ C5 Ultra uses ClearAudio+ technology to reproduce sound and enhance audio playback.
With Clear Stereo, Clear Bass and Clear Phase, your tracks are stripped of distortion and noise.
Meanwhile, the xLOUD enhancement engine delivers your music with a deeper, richer sound and powerful
bass.
