Introduction
When was the last time that a high-end pair of small phones was high - and not just because you prefer compact handsets? Well, it looks like we have a review of the Sony Xperia 5 II here.
You ask, how is it better? For one, it has
a 120Hz display, while the Xperia 1 II uses a traditional 60Hz panel. While not
as 4K as the Xperia 1 II, the X5II's 450 ppi screen density is quite high, so we
won't cut it.

The next thing that might qualify for the
5 II's advantage over the 1 II's is the introduction of the Google Assistant
button on the right. Keep in mind, the 520 has 5 mechanical buttons, in 2020 - we
can see that people like it just for that.
The remaining 5 Mark II is more or less
taken from 1 Mark II. For example, the camera system consists of a single
triple module. A 16mm ultra-wide, 24mm main camera, and a 70mm telephone, all
produce 12MP images. Sony stumbled upon the 2F pair for the smaller model,
however, we'll have to see how it affects the results of closer low light focus
and portrait mode.
The Snapdragon 865 powers the Xperia 5 II
(not 865+), and the phone has 8 GB of RAM. Unlike the 1 II, which comes with
only 256GB of storage, the 5 II can be either 128GB or 256GB.
Some welcome improvements include the
return of a 3.5mm headphone jack and the relocation of the bottom speaker to
fire on the front of the phone - both features that are also common with the 1
II.
What's not shared with the larger models
is the wireless charging capability - you'll need a cable to upgrade the 5 II.
You can still do this on USB power delivery up to 21W even though Sony only
sends an 18W charger (and makes it for that matter). Talk about ...
Sony Xperia 5 II unboxing
Our Xperia 5 II review unit arrived in a
typical Sony white cardboard box with the phone's name stamped on the front in
shiny letters. Inside the box, the minimal approach continues - get your phone,
the 18W charger we mentioned, and a USB-C-to-C cable to go with it. that's it.
It is worth mentioning that the Xperia 1
II had a pair of Air in the package and Sony had a history of making
retail bundles in different markets, so you will finally be able to get a
headset with 5.
