Word has been leaked via the underworld grapevine that later this year we will see the Sony Xperia 5 ii. The prediction right now is that the release date will be in Q3 of this year. Most likely around the time that the Berlin IFA would take place... but something tells me the IFA is not going to happen this year. Either way, the announcement should be in September.
So at first Sony brought back the jack on the Xperia 1ii and now... which I was happy to see & now Sony are bringing back the compact. So the rumours suggest that this phone could be ad small as 5.6 inches on the diagonal, but its more likely to be 5.8". Either way, you slice it the Sony Xperia 5ii will be a compact phone.
Sony Xperia will likely stick with the 21:9 aspect ratio which means this thing is going to be very thin at Approximately 65mm if we scale down the dimensions of the Xperia 1ii. Some say just like a Hershey bar... but in my opinion, this could be a very good thing when it comes to one-handed use and overall more grip-able. When it comes to the resolution quite honestly a FHD+ would be quite satisfactory on such a small display. Which of course will support Sonys creator mode colours. I just hope Sony splash out a little cash and try and make it 120Hz OLED panel. If you haven't used one yet, it does make a difference. Let me know in the comments. Would you like to see a 120Hz display?
Now the fact that the Xperia 5ii will be more compact than the Xperia 1ii will result in a slightly smaller battery. But with it needing to power a smaller display combined with Sony's battery care features the battery life should be pretty good. I would expect it to be around 3400mAh. But here are some areas that Sony won't need to compromise. The dual front speakers, the headphone jack, the side-mounted fingerprint reader, Gorilla Glass 6 front and back. the selfy camera, the triple camera array, which means we should get the new night mode and the Sony A9 feature 20fps burst shooting with full AF/AE tracking. Basically, it's going to be maybe the only compact flagship on the market.
Inside the Xperia 5ii will be 4 to 6gb of ram & of course the immense firepower of the Qualcomm 865 5G soc. In fact, if they go with the 5.6" screen size. This form factor would make the Xperia 5ii the smallest 5G device on the planet. So while the phone will support 5G in Sub 6 waves it's unlikely it will the fastest form of 5G millimeter wave. As with such a compact device, it's unlikely there will be room inside the chassis for the additional millimeter-wave antennas this year. If your looking for that the Xperia Pro 5G is what you need to know about.
Last year Xperia 5 launched towards the end of the year and just missed out on Qualcomm's overclocked SD855+ chip. So there might be a small chance they could time it just right and get the SD865+ in the Xperia 5ii... a small chance And if they could get that...that would be awesome. So long story short if they can keep all the flagship specs mentioned this might be the compact king in 2020. With all that said...the word on the street is Sony have two flagship bullets in the chamber for the end of the year... what do you think the 2nd one will be? Xperia 6 maybe?
Now let's talk about the colour variants and finishes. I think Sony gets stuck when it comes to this. So write a comment below and let me know what would be your dream colour & finish is you could choose one. And who knows maybe Sony will read it. I like what Huawei has done with the p40 pro frosted glass. Something like this would be amazing, no fingerprints, it's not slippery... it is so awesome.
