Editorial report

Sony Xperia 5 II 8 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet

The Sony Xperia 5 II suits buyers after a compact phone who can accept less battery capacity than most phones launched around the same time. At 163 g, it is among the lightest of its era. Its 6.1-inch OLED display pairs a 120 Hz refresh rate, better than that of most phones from the period, with 449 ppi, among the highest pixel densities. The 21:9 format and 1080 × 2520 px resolution round out the display.

The Snapdragon 865 delivers an AnTuTu result better than that of most phones launched around the same time. This configuration has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of expandable storage; the phone is also sold with 256 GB. The main camera uses a 1/1.76-inch sensor, larger than average, and an f/1.7 aperture among the best, alongside optical image stabilization. Its 3x optical zoom is also among the best of its time. Video recording includes 4K at 120 fps.

The 4,000 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones of its time, while 21 W charging is above average. The phone also has IP65 and IP68 protection and 5G connectivity. Its overall NeoScore is 6.3. The Xperia 5 II is a compact choice with standout display, weight and zoom specifications; battery capacity is the main trade-off.
