According to all preview's it has the EXACT same camera as on the X1, so you would think that it has 960fps

Yeah it seems a bit strange that they would omit that, but it appears from that interview with the Sony team, they have used different sensors, with no memory onboard to deal with the slo-mo.

Different lenses, different layout positions, and all upgrades(well "new" features), are all software based, and are coming to the 1.

It's not the first place I've read that from someone who has spoken to officials.

Strange if true though, as you would have thought it's just a mid sized "1".

Well this is not proof. GSMArena says that XPERIA 5 has 960fps slow motion video. So, whome to trust?

I think it has 960fps slow motion video.

Uhh yea, it should be, the icon shows up after you click; mode > activate super slow motion.

The icon shows on the left in both on photo and video. When you click it, it's a video interface.

Here what's my Xperia 1 shows:

Is 960fps slowmo feature available on Xpeira 5?

SuperHot — Fri, 13 Sep 2019 15:34:04 GMT

Hi,

960fps is not present on the full specification sheet on Sony Mobile website, neither is predictive capture. Could you clarify if this feature is available on Xperia 5 please? Thank you so much

It does not support hardware-based 960 fps super slow-mo on Xperia 5 because it does not have CMOS sensor with DRAM. (Exmor RS IMX563)

Also it does not support software-based 960fps super slow-mo (Chinese phones which have IMX586, IMX600 without DRAM use this method)

However it can shoot 720p 120fps slow-mo same as previous Xperia smartphones while others(Galaxy,iPhone) support 1080p@240fps slow-mo shooting.

RIP Clear bass, Clear Audio+, Dynamic normalizer, VPT, 960fps slow-mo

Unfortunately, the gsmarena message is wrong.
Eprice this content is the answer to the interview with sony engineers

Hello everyone!

Due to the change in image sensors, Xperia 5 supports slow motion at 120fps, but not Super slow motion at 960fps, it does however still support Predictive Capture.

I hope that answers everyones questions about both these features!

Not good news. Because there are times when I use 960 fps. Not often but use it.

not working

Re: Xperia 5

Jonas — Mon, 23 Sep 2019 11:48:37 GMT

@tomo100brt, I don't use it much myself, but I can know that if I was still skateboarding like I used to back in the days, I would use it on a daily basis.

In this case there isn't much to do since it has to do with hardware, but I will forward your feedback about the feature in general, so the developers know it's an important part.

@mucinhanoi365, I'm not quite sure that I understand exactly what you mean, would it be possible for you to elaborate a bit? Thank you.

Sony itself says it doesnt...

Ive seen it today in the store it doesnt have it.

SHAME REALLY.!

MIDTIERS of samsung have 480fps and its 2020 almost and i have to do with 120fps at 720?!!??

Re: Xperia 5

Jonas — Mon, 30 Sep 2019 11:58:34 GMT

Hi @BrbZrk,

That is correct and I posted the reason for this about two weeks ago. You can find the reason for this in my post, on the link below.

Re: Xperia 5

BrbZrk — Mon, 30 Sep 2019 12:10:17 GMT

Im sorry thats no explanation, why 120fps at 720!!? Make 240 at 1080 and 480 at 720 via software and i will buy the phone. (wont happen)

It really shouldve had the DRAM.

Its a covered cost cutting.

Btw. Im looking forward to next years model, hope its the same size as the 5, and not as big as the 1

Re: Xperia 5

Jonas — Wed, 02 Oct 2019 07:46:32 GMT

Hi again @BrbZrk,

As I'm not involved in the decision process for new devices, it's very hard for me to answer why only 120fps recording is available and not for example, 240fps. The only information I have is regarding why super slow motion is not available and that is due to a change in image sensors.

I will of course forward your feedback and thoughts about this!

Regarding the size, I do really hope so as well. The Xperia 5 can't compare to Xperia XZ1 Compact or the Xperia XZ2 Compact, which both are real compact models, but it's a very good alternative and the fit in the hand is really awesome.

It's going to take me a while to get used to both 21:9 and the bigger size after using Compact models for the past 5 years, but this is the first time I'm actually trying something that does not have Compact at the end!

Thanks again and have a nice day!

Really was thinking of buying this phone and was all for, but now I aint sure. Mostly because SONY let me and many others, obviously, to believe the cameras was infact the very same as in Xperia 1. But now it misses one of the more cool feature Slo-mo, wich most premium phones of today has. I can understand how SONY is thinking here, really? Are they trying to sabotage themselves from the market or what is the problem? How a Premium Phone of today only can film 120FPS in 720p is for me not acceptable. It should have had 1080p 120 and 240 at least. It could probably have been ok. But not 720p on a 1080 screen... are you joking at SONY. I guess I have to wait to buy a new SONY phone then, and wait for the Xperia 1 to get down in price.... Despite I dont want such a big phone.
