Editorial report

Sony Xperia Ace II technical sheet

The Sony Xperia Ace II suits anyone looking for a compact, light phone: at 159 g, its weight is among the best of its time. It also resists water and dust (IP68), pairing that protection with a 5.5-inch IPS LCD display. The screen has a 720 × 1600 px resolution and Gorilla Glass 6.

Overall performance is typical of phones launched around the same time, but its 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage are lower than those of most. Storage is expandable. The camera is worse than most phones of its time: its 13 MP sensor measures 1/3″, and there is no optical image stabilization. Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30 fps. The battery has a capacity of 4,500 mAh.

Connectivity is also worse than on most phones of its time. The phone has Dual SIM, Bluetooth 5.0, USB Type-C and a 3.5 mm audio jack, plus Wi-Fi 4 and Wi-Fi 5 support. Overall, it is behind most phones of its time, with a NeoScore of 4.2. It is best suited to people who put low weight, compact dimensions and IP68 protection first, and can accept more modest camera and memory specifications.
