Sony has just released a new Xperia 5 II mobile phone, which focuses on photography and video, and is cheaper than Xperia 1 II. It will be released on September 29 and will start at $950. Another major improvement is that Sony has added a 120Hz screen with a high refresh rate.
But the strange thing is that Sony said that the machine will not ship until December 4th . In addition, the machine supports 5G but cannot use the US 5G network, which is the same as Xperia 1 II.
Xperia 5 II is a mobile phone with a 21:9 OLED screen that supports HDR, video insertion and Creator mode, but its size is relatively small, only 6.1 inches. It is a more compact mobile phone than Xperia 1 II. The phone uses side fingerprints and has an independent shutter button,
Xperia 5 II adopts the standard flagship specifications in 2020: Snapdragon 865 processor, 8GB memory, 4000 mAh battery , and the aforementioned 120Hz refresh rate display, supporting 240Hz touch sampling rate. Sony is still insisting on using dual front stereo speakers and the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack. Unfortunately, there is no wireless charging function. There are two sizes of storage, 128GB and 256GB. If more space is needed, there is a microSD slot. Xperia 5 II will also provide a dual SIM configuration in Europe (the previous model only has a single SIM card).
There is an 18W USB Power Delivery charger in the box, but you can use a more powerful charger for charging, the maximum power is 21W. Even with the included charger, it can be charged to 50% in 30 minutes.
In terms of camera, the back of Xperia 5 II uses the current standard three-camera array, which is three 12-megapixel sensors. The main camera is a 1/1.7″ sensor with OIS. It uses the ultra-wide-angle 16mm camera. Dual Pixel autofocus, the other is a camera that supports 3x (70 mm) zoom and comes with OIS.
Sony claims that this machine is the first smartphone that can record 4K HDR slow-motion video at 120FPS. Like Xperia 1 II, Xperia 5 II also uses Sony’s first-class autofocus technology, which can lock the eyes of people or pets and maintain the sharpness of the focus at an amazing speed, up to 60 times per second, and can also perform 20fps Shooting in continuous shooting mode.
The dust and water resistance rating of the phone body is IP68/IPX5, and the front and back are protected by Gorilla Glass 6. The width is only 68 mm and the thickness is only 8 mm, which is smaller than most current mobile phones. There will be four colors to choose from at launch: black, gray, blue and pink.
Like many mobile phones, there is a game enhancement mode that can directly set and lock the screen refresh rate, motion blur, and touch response speed. What’s more interesting is that there is a power bypass function that allows you to set the phone to take power directly from the USB-C line without charging the battery. This greatly reduces heat, and Sony has also added a graphene heat sink to draw heat away from the motherboard.
Sony will also release two accessories for the machine: Stand Cover (built-in kick stand) and a more traditional Style Cover. The phone natively supports DualShock 4 handles.
Naijatechnews has learned that Sony Xperia 5 II will be pre-ordered on September 29, 2020 at a price of US$950 (approximately RMB 6,430), and shipped on December 4, 2020. Users who pre-order Xperia 5 II before November 29 will receive a game bundle worth more than $400, including a gaming headset, a 10000mAh power bank and 21,600 Call of Duty mobile credits. In Europe, this phone will be available in the fourth quarter, priced at 900 euros, in three colors: black, blue and gray.
