Top smartphone in a compact form factor, which ensures convenient control of the "mobile phone" with one hand. The front panel of the Sony Xperia 5 II is dominated by a 6.1-inch diagonal OLED matrix with a cinematic 21:9 aspect ratio. The picture is displayed on the display of the gadget in a vertically stretched FullHD resolution — 2520x1080 pixels. The waterproof body of the smartphone is covered on both sides with Gorilla Glass 6.
The key to the performance of the model, regardless of the severity of running applications, is the flagship hardware in the engine compartment. The smartphone was armed with a Snapdragon 865 processor, 8 GB of “RAM” and an internal drive of 128 GB. Adherents of the mobile gaming genre will come in handy with the Heat Suppression thermal control mode, which allows you to play while charging.
By the way, the battery capacity of the gadget is exactly 4000 mAh. The main camera of the smartphone combines a trio of 12 MP image sensors under the wing: a stabilized leader, an ultra-wide 124 ° viewing angle and a telephoto camera with a triple optical zoom. In pursuit, the model has Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, a built-in 5G modem, the sixth version of the Wi-Fi adapter, a symmetrical USB-C 3.1 port, and an NFC.
Sony smartphones occupy a narrow niche in the mobile phone market. The highlight of the latest generations of gadgets comes from the Land of the Rising Sun — a screen with a cinematic aspect ratio of 21:9, which exposes the brand's products in the light of perfect multimedia.
OLED screen
The Xperia 5 II was released as a compact version of Sony's flagship Xperia 1 II. Well, how compact? The screen was stretched diagonally by 6.1", but thanks to the aforementioned cinematic proportions, the body of the smartphone turned out to be narrower than usual. And this contributes to the convenience of gripping the gadget in your hand. Unlike the older “one”, the screen here is FullHD + (2520x1080 pixels), but its refresh rate is 120 Hz. The substrate for the display was a juicy OLED matrix with HDR display support, BT.2020 colour gamut coverage and CineAlta calibration.
Gaming ambitions
The gaming ambitions of the smartphone are revealed by the powerful “iron” combination of the Snapdragon 865 chipset, Adreno 650 graphics and 8/128 GB of memory. Moreover, graphene plates for cooling are built into the body of the device and a special Heat Suppression thermal control mode is provided(while playing on charging, the smartphone remains cold). But the Sony Xperia 5 II does not shine with the “refueling” speed — using the complete 18-watt unit, it takes about 1 hour and 50 minutes in time. Optionally, the smartphone supports charging up to 21 watts.
Photo and video shooting of the Pro level
All three cameras on the rear of the device have the same 12 MP resolution. The leader is a 1/1.7" sensor supported by a fast f/1.7 lens. The handset also has a telephoto lens with a 3x optical zoom and an ultra wide-angle camera with a field of view of 124˚. The most chic in the camera is professional photo and video shooting modes Photo Pro and Cinema Pro: Smartphone photos can be taken in RAW with manual settings, and video clips can be shot in 4K at 120 fps.
Full package
The model carries on board a package of the latest wireless communications, including a Wi-Fi 6 module and a 5G modem, has front stereo speakers, and has IP68 dust and water protection. Separate buttons on its side face made to release the camera shutter and call the voice assistant Google Assistant. The latter often has "miss clicks", i.e. accidental clicks. Therefore, in hot game battles, it is advisable to turn off notifications about incoming events and block unnecessary controls. Fortunately, this option is available in the smartphone out of the box.
