To transfer from an iPhone, there’s no need to download Xperia Transfer 2 on your iPhone—just install it on your new Xperia.

A battery you can rely on
For your convenience and peace of mind, Xperia smartphones feature powerful, reliable batteries that let you do more of what you enjoy, for longer.
Quick Charging and Battery Care
The Xperia 5 features a powerful battery with quick charging. So if you’re in a hurry and your battery is low, you can top it up to 50% in as little as 30 minutes and keep your battery healthy with a unique Sony algorithm 6.
Settings for a healthy battery
Our charging technologies keep your battery healthy for longer. Setting the charging limit on your Xperia7 to a maximum of 80% or 90% with Battery Care keeps the battery from being overworked.
“Excellent battery life, 120Hz or otherwise, and nice battery care features.”
Improve the quality of all your music with AI—DSEE Ultimate
With the power of AI, DSEE Ultimate enhances the quality of everything you listen to in real time—both the audio frequency and dynamic range. It doesn’t matter if you’re using wired or wireless headphones or listening to a local file or streaming, you’ll hear clearer audio that’s closer to High-Resolution Audio quality.
How to activate DSEE Ultimate
To improve the quality of all your music, simply turn on “DSEE Ultimate” on the audio settings screen of your Xperia6. If you’re listening in Dolby Atmos, the right setting will be applied automatically. To enjoy High-Resolution Audio, a High-Resolution Audio compatible headset is required.
Sound-positioned to bring you into the action
Our ears are remarkably good at pinpointing where specific sounds are coming from in a multi-dimensional space around us. That's why it sometimes feels like sound doesn't match the picture with TVs that have speakers on the side or around the frame. BRAVIA XR TVs use advanced sound processing to make the sound match precisely with what's on the screen. The result is a feeling like you're right there in the heart of the scene.
