Weekly poll results: Sony hits the bullseye with the Xperia 5 II

Peter, 27 September 2020

You asked and Sony delivered – that’s the impression from last week’s poll where the Sony Xperia 5 II received an overwhelmingly positive response from fans.

The size seems perfect for most as only 16% stated that they wanted something smaller, something closer to the famed Compact models of yesteryear.

Going through the comments, it seems that (aside from size) the biggest criticism is price. Normally we’d say that price is temporary and you can wait a few months – but that’s easier said then done when the phone won’t even launch until a month from now.
