Editorial report

Sony Xperia Ace 2 technical sheet

The Sony Xperia Ace 2 suits buyers looking for a compact, lightweight phone: at 159 g, its weight is among the best of its time. Its IP68 rating adds water and dust protection, a useful feature for anyone looking for that protection in a small phone.

The IPS LCD display measures 5.5 inches and has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px. Its 270 ppi density is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time, so screen definition is not a strength. The available configuration pairs 4 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage, both below what most phones of its time offer. Storage is expandable.

The 13 MP rear camera also falls behind most phones of its time in resolution and has no optical image stabilization. Autofocus and HDR are included for everyday photography features. Connectivity includes NFC, USB Type-C, and Bluetooth 5.0; the phone also supports two Nano-SIM cards. Its 4,500 mAh battery is typical for its time.

With a NeoScore of 4.2/10, the Xperia Ace 2 ranks worse than most phones of its time overall. Its low weight and IP68 protection are its clearest strengths, while screen resolution, memory, and camera resolution are the main trade-offs. It makes sense for buyers prioritizing a manageable size and those features, who can accept its limitations in imaging and hardware resources.
