Sony has officially announced the Xperia 5 II. The phone keeps the narrow waistline of the Xperia 5, courtesy of that 21:9 aspect ratio of the 6.1-inch OLED display. The Xperia 5 II is narrow and tall, something that’s becoming a trademark for Sony’s smartphones of late. Corning Gorilla Glass 6 is on duty on both sides of the phone, while a metal frame keeps everything tightly secured together.
Sony Xperia 5 II features a 6.1-inch FHD+ HDR OLED display that supports a 120Hz refresh rate. The latter, coupled with the 240Hz touch scanning rate, promises a great gaming experience. The 21:9 CinemaWide display of the Xperia 5 II also features X1 Bravia mobile HDR technology and Creator mode powered by CineAlta. The Xperia 5 II is built around the Snapdragon 865 5G platform. The phone features 8GB of RAM and either 128 or 256GB of internal storage.
Sony Xperia 5 II features a 4,000 mAh battery, a significant increase in capacity compared to the 3140 mAh battery of the Xperia 5. This is achieved with the help of a custom split-board design, allowing for a bigger physical size of the battery.
There’s a triple camera system on the back of the Xperia 5 II, with three focal lengths (16mm, 24mm, and 70mm) that should cover all the possible shooting scenarios, according to Sony. All three cameras feature 12MP sensors with ZEISS optics on top. There’s a big 1/1.7-inch Dual PD sensor under the 24mm lens that should help with light gathering in low-light conditions.
The Sony Xperia 5 II will be available in Black, Blue, and Grey in the US with pre-sales starting on 29 September. The Xperia 5 II will be approximately $950.00 in the US.
