You should compare the Xperia 5 ii and the Xperia 10 ii. The latter is half the price, looks identical and really isn't that much different overall. I wish now that I'd saved my money and bought the 10 ii.

Fantastic phones though, best I've had in years but no wireless charging and disappointed to see its still not included here, especially as many new cars have charging pads built in

    This is a really good compact flagship.

    Sony did well on improving the battery capacity and finally adopted a faster charging of 30W.

    The main camera, although not bad needed an upgrade.

    But the overall package is definitely better than the regular S21.

            I don't like those additional buttons... What are they for except pinching hand?

              notafanboy, 14 Apr 2021For making selfies, yes. Obviously. I couldn't care le... moreYou keep forgetting that Sony phones have a dedicated shutterbutton on the side, so you can easily shoot your mugshots in high quality with the verastile camera system on the back of the phone. Not quite possible on other phones as you have software shutter only on front screen. If videocalling is needed, that front cam is quite sufficient.
              Only addition I see worth considering selfie shooting on Xperias, would be a tiny back screen for compesition overlook, like on that Xiaomi. Otherwise no need for cramming selfie cameras on front, as we have that superconvenient shutterbutton on the side.

                          Hope they managed to improve the basic camera app, since for whatever reason, the photo pro app shot better photos even in auto mode.

                            Emer, 14 Apr 2021What's with that front design? It's so long forgotten.So you prefer those ugly and distracting punch holes and notches? Okay. That's your preference. But there are people who loves that "long forgotten" symmetrical front design which is more clean, sleek, and appealing. That 21:9 screen ratio with no screen distraction? it's perfect for media consumption and gaming.

Which is far better than digital zoom, and at the same time provides a very good flexibility in the utilization of the camera. We have to see what the test says. Sorry for my Google Translate English.
