UI and software.[5] Sony made an update to Android 6.0 available for the handset.[9]

Sales

The dual-sim variant of the Xperia M5 was launched in India and Hong Kong on 9 September 2015.[10][11] Sony also announced in early 2016 to sell the M5 in the UK despite originally planning not to sell in UK [12]

Issues

The handset occasionally suffers from automatic shutoff and cannot be restarted or turned on unless connected to a power source via a USB cable.
