Anonymous, 20 Jun 2021Is this phone still have a problems with the signal reception? it has been pretty random for me.
when I am working in the middle of the CBD (where you would think it should have the best signal), I usually get 1 bar.
when I am at home in a less populated/urban areas, the reception is much better, inside my local supermarker where in the past I get no reception at all, now I am getting 3 bars, really strange.
at least for me, even on 1 bar the call quality seems fine.
PS I am Sydney, Australia, carrier is Vodafone.

I've owned the xperia 5 ii for about a month now and it's been issue free except for wifi dropping out right out of the box before any updates were aplied but after that it has been rock solid. The camera somehow compares really well to the s21 ultra my brother inlaw has in everything but zoom capability, where the s21 ultras periscope wins by a hilarious margin. the screen its 21:9 aspect ratio, lack of notch or punch hole selfie cam and form factor are perfect for me. The stereo speakers once again surprised me in that they were louder and punchier than the aforementioned S21 ultra, although if held in a vertical position with nothing touching the top back of the phone the is some vibration in the body of the phone which isn't there when holding it horizontally. All in all would recommend 100%.

Anonymous, 20 Jun 2021Is this phone still have a problems with the signal reception? Yes it still has network problems and it is getting worse.
With Android 11 update sometimes network is completely unavailable i emailed Sony and they said there is no work around that but they will fix it with next update.
Very disappointed

Worst phone I ever used. A lot of bugs, horrible screen with unnatural colors, ever transfering app doesn't work. 21:9 is also unusable. A lot of apps don't launch because of ratio, a lot of them work in 16:9 or 18:9.
Even cheap Xiaomi and Nokia phones are much more pleasant

Latest tests which I performed after Android 11 and factory reset... As an average user, with 80% of battery my phone endures 24-25h between two charges and 9h SoT.
SD 865 is super fast, everything works like a charm, fluid.
Regarding signal reception or similar problem which some of you asked, I personally didn't have any problem. I use though 4G because in my country there's still no 5G network.
Some of cons which I have are:
-no possibility to schedule AOD as it is possible for Night Light
-no possibility to turn on/off NFC from notification center
-volumes for ring and notification are not separated but set as one, so you can manipulate them only as one, and here I think notification volume should be a little louder

SM25, 18 Apr 2021Location is most of the time off in my case, but I tried wi... moreAuto HDR can be "forced" in the Photo Pro app by selecting P (program mode) going into the settings Menu and selecting the Exposure/Color tab and then DRO/Auto HDR setting. This will allow you to enable Dynamic Range Optimizer or Auto HDR priority (or OFF). You will get noticeable different results. I think the full AUTO mode in the Photo Pro app will use either one depending on the AI.

Thomassino, 10 Jun 2021Hi, I've been using a Huawei Mate 10 Pro, having issue... morehonest hot take but Xperia in a heartbeat. S21 and plus seem to basically be paying more for less hardware than you can get an S20 for now, the Ultra is par with last year's Note 20, and the Xperia just offers more features that are relevant to real world use (SD card slot, 3.5mm jack, etc). Whatever the S21 offers over the Xperia are basically all software and Samsung ecosystem based.

Hi, I've been using a Huawei Mate 10 Pro, having issues with it and am contemplating whether to get the Sony Xperia 5 II or Samsung S21. Any advice is much appreciated. :)

It's a pleasure to still have a choice of a device with a screen that is not too rounded in the corners. It would be perfect if the corners of the screen were really squared, but in this age of copy paste, I must be grateful to the only company not cloning all the hyped stupidity. Soon all screens will be rounded, like decades ago, let's just hope that people gets bored of it fast so we can have proper flat and squared screens again.

Pretty good phone, the long screen can take some getting used to but its perfect for multitasking/split screening apps and Youtube.

xperia 5 doesn't have 4k screen, but has 120 mhz
1 is more for everyday users
5 is more for gaming
I really like it by the way, have it for 5 months now and I'm pretty glad. Gaming is very nice on this phone, but for this purpose - you should also consider Asus Rog phone.
