I shot a bunch of footage using the Xperia 5 II's Cinema Pro app and this is the best slow motion video on any phone I've tested. Files are saved as 30fps or 24fps, which gives videos a dreamy 4x or 5x slow-motion effect. This only works in the phone's Cinema Pro app. The camera feature I was most excited to try out was the new 4K 120fps video capture. Sony Alpha mirrorless cameras in a phone… kind of As a result I lose access to that button, which is far more useful than the Google Assistant. On the Xperia 5 II, however, that space is now occupied by this Assistant button, which leaves me the recessed power button and fingerprint reader as the only place to attach the grip. On the Xperia 1 II, there was a space on the right side between the power button and the camera shutter for the grip to grab onto. That means the fewer buttons on the edge to press (on purpose or by accident), the better.įor example, I have a C-shaped grip that goes around the sides and back of the phone so I can mount it to a tripod.

Nearly every one of those people are likely to mount this phone, whether it's on a PS4 controller for games or on a mini-tripod for shooting photos and videos. But here's what gets me: This phone is aimed at photographers, videographers, gamers, journalists and creative types. In the US, the Sony Xperia 5 II comes only in black.Īre people using Google Assistant so much that it needs its own button? Maybe? I don't know these people. That's one button too many, and it got in my way a lot. It lives on the right edge, along with the volume rocker, a combination power button and fingerprint reader, and a shutter button for the camera. I also miss the Xperia 1 II's squared-off edges, which allowed me to stand up the phone on its side for filming and watching videos.īut my least favorite part of the Xperia 5 II's design is the Google Assistant button on the side. Despite the Xperia's slender bezels on the side, it has a chunky (by 2020 standards) chin and forehead. It's a bit boring, especially when compared to a phone like the Samsung Galaxy S20. But the smaller Xperia 5 II makes the tall, slender design pop. But if you want a phone with a high refresh rate, you'll want an Xperia 5 II with its 6.1-inch 120Hz HD screen.īoth phones have long narrow screens with a 21:9 aspect ratio, which is great for watching Netflix since most of its films are shot in widescreen. Now you can choose: If you want super-sharp resolution, get the Xperia 1 II and its stunning 6.5-inch 4K display. The Xperia 5 II's display isn't as sharp as the Xperia 1 II's, so Sony sensibly added a high refresh rate screen to the former. Xperia 5 II design: Great high-refresh rate display, not so great number of buttons On the left is the $1,200 Sony Xperia 1 II and on the right the $950 Xperia 5 II.

When you preorder, you'll receive a free gaming bundle that includes a HyperX Cloud II gaming headset, a 10,000-mAh portable power bank and 21,600 Call of Duty points. But if you have the money and are into Sony's mirrorless cameras, then the Xperia 5 II is worth considering. That makes it hard for me to get behind this phone, or any phone really, that costs nearly $1,000. Add the fact that we're in a pandemic, meaning many people are enduring financial hardship. While the Xperia 5 II is cheaper than the Xperia 1 II, it's also $150 more than last year's Xperia 5 I. That won't appeal to everyone, but for people like me who enjoy that kind of thing, the phone is a treat. It's an incredible phone for people who enjoy gaming, photography and recording videos. But it does retain the wonderful EyeAF (autofocus) feature that speedily finds and locks onto the eyes of people and pets.

While the Xperia 5 II's solid specs and photo and video software are similar to the Xperia 1 II (same processor, 8GB of RAM and so on), it lacks wireless charging, a time-of-flight sensor and a 4K display. And best of all, it adds those features while costing hundreds of dollars less. With a high-refresh-rate display, the ability to record 4K videos at 120 frames per second and an overhauled Game Enhancer app, the new version is the best Sony phone in years.

But the new Xperia 5 II (read as "five mark two") is more than a miniature version of Sony's previous phone. With the $950 (£799 or about AU$1,350) Xperia 5 II, Sony is essentially selling a more compact, more affordable version of the Xperia 1 II, which Sony released in May. Sony packed the Xperia 1 II with photo and video tools from its popular Alpha line of full-frame mirrorless cameras, and for $1,200 the phone targeted creative types who wanted more artistic control over their photos and videos.
