Sony Xperia 5 II Leaked Specs

Sony Xperia 5 II boasts the exact same design as its elder sibling, the Xperia 1 II. The device is said to feature a6.1-inch Full HD+ OLED panelwith a120Hz refresh rate. It also supports a 240Hz touch response rate, a 21:9 aspect ratio (cinematic), and HDR certification.

If this leak is proven true, then Sony Xperia 5 II will be the first Sony to include a 120Hz refresh rate display.

Though it is said to be a compact phone, the 158mm height of the device is not really short compared to its 165mm tall elder sibling. Xperia 5 II will bepowered by the Snapdragon 865chipset, coupled with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in storage, to give it that flagship status. Sony will also include a microSD card slot to let users expand storage.

The smartphone will come equipped with a bigger4,000mAh batteryand USB-PD charging support via the Type-C port at the bottom. There’s a 3.5mm headphone jack onboard as well.

The report further suggests that the triple camera array on the rear will include a 12MP (f/1.7) primary sensor, a 12MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide lens with a 124-degree FOV. This camera setup is very similar to the Xperia 1 II and lacks only a ToF sensor. It also carries the ZeissT* branding on the rear.

So yeah, Sony Xperia 5 II is shaping up to be a feature-rich and premium flagship but there’s currently no word on whether it will launch in India or not. Sony has wrapped up its India operations a while ago but with the anti-Chinese sentiment on the rise, it could be a golden opportunity for the Japanese company to make a comeback.
