L.O.R.D, 29 Sep 2020If the Xperia 5 II had a five inch screen and Gorilla Glass... more5 inch and it would be as narrow as iphone 5.
Impossible to use cinema pro this way.

At least phone has this.
I am sure it will become "must have" as soon any chinese or samsung copies. 10000% sure.
Like everything else previously called gimmick before they had.

You hate the phone for a button and because it can use the HS Power control only for gaming? Please stick to your Exysh** and ICr**...Leave these for us Sony fans!

It's a shame there has to be a workaround to begin with.

If the Xperia 5 II had a five inch screen and Gorilla Glass Victus then it'd be an even more compelling device. I'd really like to see their little phones again. Can't wait for next year's products, would be pleasant to get an Xperia phone again after long

Well, upon further research it appears as if the fancy Battery bypass only works when in gaming mode = FAIL
On top of that it appears as if there is no way to remap the STUPID assistant button which = double FAIL!
Now I could live with the battery bypass not doing what I had hoped...but to be stuck with an assistant button when I never use any assistant is unacceptable and I will not buy it. Hopefully, this will change before it's time to lay down any cash. Makes me sick that Sony contracted with Google to force this useless, obnoxious crap on its customers. Talk about shooting yourself in the eyes!

Nick Tagataka, 28 Sep 2020It's honestly surprising that Sony is sticking to such... moreDim Screen?? It's easy to see the table with much brighter screens in the lab and think "dim." It's like seeing a USD100K car ranked thirtieth amidst cars that cost USD150K then saying the 100K car is cheap. Understand your numbers boss.

If you have 5 mark i, wait mark iii ...
Gorilla Virtus, ufs3.1, maybe more functions for Pro apps, maybe usb3.2 , surely Snap 875. I also suppose 12GB because 1ii has one version in Japan (I think China will get as well). Maybe micro matrix tech.
Not sure about cmos size, but triple 12MP is high probability.
* just as curiosity, the hexa cam that rumor showed up in late 2019 was real. Two version , one with monochrome wide camera, the other with periscope. Someone said no, both got killed.

SM25, 29 Sep 2020Is it worth waiting 5mk ii or to go now with 5 from 2019?As an Xperia 5 owner I would say - pick the new one, they fixed to many Xperia 5 issues.
Camera, jack, fps sensor, battery are probably the best improvements that come to mind + at least you get some preorder bonus to ease your pain.

Anonymous, 29 Sep 2020Do I buy phones based on reviews?
LOL ......
First th... moreYour decision making process is certainly different than mine - I read a ton of reviews for every phone that comes to my mind.
Checking the device in store has close to 0 value for me, since I do not usualy have my rig with me and testing conditions are more than poor.
I simply buy the best looking phone or phones and the one I do not like travel back in 14 days of my personal evaluation.
+ I can't personally test thing like brightness, response rate, I do not have consistent battery tests etc.
I do not mind letting professionals with proper gear to do their job of making my final decision based more on fact than my own personal delusion caused by placebo effect.

The bastards...
I bought the "1 II" a month ago, and they never announced a smaller "easier-to-hold" version.
If only my previous phone held out just a little longer...

The graph shows performance.
LUFS is just loudness.
Lines closer to zero more often mean better audio.
Xperia 1 ii and 1 have better graph.
