Sony Xperia 5 II: Review

Android Authority

The Sony Xperia 5 II is a smaller, less-expensive version of the Xperia 1 II. It offers most of the powerful features in a more comfortable and pocketable size. It’s an ideal choice for media lovers, gamers, and budding photographers and cinematographers, even at its $899 price point.

  • The slim waist of the Xperia 5 II makes the phone comfortable to hold and use in your hand.
  • Sony gave the phone lots of functional design elements too, most of which are on the right edge.
  • In everyday use, the phone felt fluid and fast. There were no slow-downs, stutters, or lags.

Review: Tech Radar

The Sony Xperia 5 II takes a lot of what makes its larger sibling great and distills it into a package that’s much smaller and easier to hold. If you’re looking for near top-end tech in an easier-to-hold phone, you’ll struggle to go wrong with the Xperia 5 II, as it features a great camera, beautiful screen and long-lasting battery.

FOR

  • Easy-to-use design
  • Great cameras
  • 120Hz screen looks great

AGAINST

  • Annoying Google Assistant button
  • Still quite a high price
  • Antiquated unlock button

Review: The Verge

The Xperia 5 II includes three rear cameras; the main camera with a large 1/1.7-inch sensor, an ultrawide camera with a 124-degree field of view, and a telephoto with 3x optical zoom. What’s nice here is that they all have the same resolution, 12 megapixels.

GOOD STUFF

  • 120Hz display
  • Manual camera options
  • Headphone jack

BAD STUFF

  • No 5G in US
  • One too many buttons
  • No wireless charging
