BTW, if you're having issues with slow charging, I bought a Xiaomi 33W charger and it fixed all the issues without heating up the battery. Significantly improved the usability of the phone.

Phone is good but sadly sony is failing with their software updates. I have loved sony phones before and this has been my fifth Android from sony, because they haven't have so many forced applications. But sadly few updates ago they have broken fqdn, those are not valid anymore in local networks. And they will not even try to fix the issue, so this will be my last sony phone.

I use this phone Xperia 5ii for almost year and half.
In the beginning i thought the phone have bad connection with network, because in most of the time the network bar wasn't full in the place where i work.
But i was wrong about that, even more my phone have the best connectivity there because i compared it with my coworkers, and my phone was the fastest every time. Even i didn't have a missed call for bad network in comparison with Iphone Xs before that, who has very often notification for bad network in the same place, and lot of missed calls.
Any way, i bought the phone second hand for 450Eur. It wasn't even used, only 1 month after the release date, brand new. I was super lucky, and for that time no problems with this little diamond. 21:9 ratio is perfect for me, SD memory card slot, 1.5mm jack, LED notification, no punch holes, the camera is not perfect, but are very good, the display is very good with nice colors and 120HZ(i didn't use it) and very-very good battery life with about 7-8h on display. What more could I want... Just the best compact smartphone Sony Xperia 5 ii - Masterpiece.

I just switched from 5 to 5 II and first thing I noticed is the Side Sense. What the hell? It was really side sense before, on the edge of the screen (or edge of the glass), I used it and liked very much. Now, it is on the usable part of screen! It overlaps with other apps and especially with Niagara Launcher.
I am disabling sidesense and cripling the usability of xperia :(. I hope there is no other step back in mark II.

Sammy, 24 Dec 2021Good compact phone until Zenfone 8 come out. There are many areas where the Zenphone lacks in comparison to the Xpera, notably the display. As much as the Asus seems like a better choice, it really isn't. And I also have to agree with the comment below mine - they have refined the camera through software updates and made it beyond any other competitor out there. Sony's camera is awesome at producing realistic photos and handling highlights like a beast.

This is, by far, one of the best phones to own in 2021, and 2022 for that matter. The screen is a superb masterpiece to the point where I'd rather watch a movie on the phone than on my laptop or TV. Battery life is great for this phone, even when gaming at 60fps (in-game), I get 5 to 7 hours of screen on time depending on gaming time. The battery charging time is relatively long and it drops exponentially - You'll charge to 60% in half an hour, 60% to 90% in another half an hour, and the last 10% in about 40 minutes. The camera has been improved. I don't fiddle much with the pro apps because I like the knowledge to utilize them properly but I've had an awesome experience with the stock camera app. Video could be stabilized better, but it's not bad by any means, it's just that the competition will do more in this field. Front facing stereo speakers were a bliss for gaming because I finally do not have to pay attention on how I hold the phone. The SD865 is power efficient and does not overheat in any circumstance, and that's what makes this phone a better buy than the 5iii. I have seen people report on the connectivity issue which I hadn't had personally. The 5G networks on this phone are a hit and miss because a number of bands are missing, but in my personal use that wasn't an issue.

It does, however pick up the 5G bands in Europe. So it is but isn't a 5G phone. I have it and LTE-A is still very fast, and stable vs the standard LTE phones.

captain fokou, 30 Sep 2021Now do the same for Apple, Samsung, huawei, xiaomi, oppo, v... moreI've had several other brands of phones and only one bad Samsung for reception, which I think was the Note 3. I've had several Sony 5ii and they all have weak indoor signals. The latest update has possible helped the reception but the facts remain it's the poorest phone I've owned for reception. Even taken the SIM out and tried it in my mates cheap Chinese phone and it gets faster and more stable speeds compared to a so called premium phone. I wish it was better since it's got a SD slot and headphone jack which is the only reason I got it. Just look at the resale value of this phone that tells you everything, nobody wants them apart from Sony fan boys.
