Regarding cast feature, you have it also in Google photos, in the upper right corner, the same like in Sony Album.

I guess I will have to get used to the Google Photos. I'm missing one big feature though, there is no TV cast button like in Sony Album app.
My TV is an older model, 2014 LG smart TV with WebOS, it was working fine with my previous Sony phone (Xperia X). Sure hope it's not missing because of that.

After using this 5ii for 100days by now, I can conclude that am making a right choice and decision getting it!
I have the P30 Pro for nearly 2yrs which have a higher rating in DXO mark than Xperia 1 ii. No review for 5ii in DXO but am judging it shld be the same or not far away with Xperia 1 ii. Do not be deceived by the high rating/points by DXO. Xperia 5ii takes better photos with right dynamic range and natural colors in most situations. The digital noise is less noticeable or more natural in comparison.
Thanks #Sony for bringing your Alpha tech and Zeiss on this spectacular smartphone.
Awaiting your soon to be announced #Xperia 1iii on 14/4 with improve battery capacity!

I'm using this phone since early February and the worst issue with it – the fingerprint scanner. I register my thumb and its works just fine for a week or so. Then scan quality begins worsening gradually. And after two or three weeks after the registration I almost never can unlock my phone with the scanner. I have to re-register my thumb once again. And after that the scanner works fine again for a couple of weeks. And I have to repeat the registration again and again. It is unacceptable. It would be a great phone if it didn't have such an annoying issue.

In my case I have both my index and both my thumbs and it is so sensitive that when I grab my phone it will unlock with the slightliest brush...
As for the charging times it is fast enough up to 80 or 90%, but what's more important if the battery care options to prolong the lifetime of the battery. I appreciate those features a lot more than fast or wireless charging

Sony fan, 31 Mar 2021Fingerprint scanner does not always work, mostly it says &q... moreI think you need to lower your expectations. While the Xperia 5 II charges at a slightly faster 21W than the Pixel 3's 18W, do remember it has about 33% more battery than the Pixel, so it'll take that much longer to top up. And if you're not using a gallium nitride (GaN) charger to optimize charging times, that may be part of why it takes a while to charge.
I can't say anything about the fingerprint sensor quality since I don't own an Xperia 5 II, but as a Pixel 3 owner I'd certainly prefer a side mounted sensor for convenience. And sure, Google wins in software processing and Night Sight, but Sony has a 3x tele and ultrawide, which is certainly more versatile.

Fingerprint scanner does not always work, mostly it says "Tried too many times", the charging time is way longer than "fast charge", and the camera is not better than Pixel 3 . Disappointed a bit :(

cornholio, 29 Mar 2021I honestly wouldn't mind if they put a 90Hz screen on ... moreIt's not only you, even guys who test phones say there's hard to see the difference between 90 and 120hz, if possible at all. But nowadays numbers are the one that sell smartphones and other similar devices. People want all the highest possible, despite they might not need it objectively speaking, or they might not be using certain feature at all. We can agree this is a great device, but someone can say but there's wireless charging missing. I had it on my previous phone and I didn't use it. Simply I don't find it a deal breaker comparing to other, more important features.
