Sony Xperia 5 II Summary

Released a year later than its predecessor, in 2020, Sony Xperia 5 II (pronounced “mark 2”) is the follow-up flagship device from the previous Xperia 5. The phone’s build quality is a quite sturdy, having a glass front and back (Gorilla Glass 6) and an aluminium frame. The phone also comes with IP65/IP68 dust/water resistance rating. And due to a compact design, the phone only weighs 163g. The 6.1 inches display has OLED technology installed, which can output 1080 x 2520 pixels of resolution.

The OS running on the device is Android 10, which is upgradeable to Android 12. Xperia 5 II is powered by Snapdragon 865 chipset, an octa-core processor capable of max 2.84GHz frequency, and is paired with Adreno 650 GPU. RAM and storage options are limited as the phone offers two variants: 8GB, 128GB and 8GB, 256GB, respectively. Thankfully, a shared micro SD card slot is available for storage expansion.

The main attraction is the rear camera which houses a triple camera setup, having a 12MP wide-angle lens (predictive dual-pixel PDAF and OIS), another 12MP telephoto lens (PDAF and 3x optical zoom and OIS), and another 12MP ultrawide lens with PDAF. These cameras are complemented by LED flash, HDR, and eye tracking software. Videos from the rear camera can be shot at 4K, 24-120fps in HDR quality, 1080p, 60fps, and 1080p 30fps with 5-axis gyro-EIS and OIS enabled. The front camera, on the other hand, houses only a single 8MP lens with HDR and 1080p, 30fps 5-axis gyro-EIS enabled video recording capabilities.

Xperia 5 II offers a weak battery, which is a Li-Ion, non-removable 4,000mAh power source that supports 21W rapid charging via USB Type-C cable. The phone also comes with the following additional features: fingerprint scanner (side-mounted), accelerometer, gyro sensor, proximity sensor, barometer, compass, and color spectrum.

Sony Xperia 5 II is offered in Blue, Pink, Black, and Grey colours.
