- Sony has reportedly stated that the Xperia 5 V won’t launch in North America.
- That means US consumers will need to buy the Xperia 1 V if they want a 2023 Xperia flagship.
Sony launched the Xperia 5 V earlier this month, bringing a more compact flagship phone experience to the market. There was no word on US availability at the time, but it looks like we’ve got bad news.
Sony confirmed to Android Police that it wouldn’t be launching the Xperia 5 V in the US. The company said it “will not (be) carrying the Xperia 5 V in the North American market this year. We want to focus on our flagship Xperia 1 V.”
