Just in a slightly smaller wrap.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the Sony Xperia 5 II also comes with HDR OLED screen in 21: 9 format and a refresh rate of 120 Hz, just like the Xperia 1 II is equipped with Qualcomm&#8217;s Snapdragon 865 5G processor, 8 GB RAM and a battery of 4000 mAh. And of course, it also has both Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1.<\/p>\n<p>With its 6.1 \u2033 screen, it is of course smaller than on the top model, and instead of 4K resolution, you have to settle for FHD +. The camera is also not identical to that of the Xperia 1 II.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-113582\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Xperia-5-II_3-1080x608.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"810\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Xperia-5-II_3-1080x608.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Xperia-5-II_3-816x459.jpg 816w, https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Xperia-5-II_3-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Xperia-5-II_3-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Xperia-5-II_3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hifiratings.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Xperia-5-II_3.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, the Xperia 5 II camera has the same three lenses with focal lengths of 16 mm (12 Mp ultra-wide angle), 24 mm (12 Mp + optical image stabilization) and 70 mm (12 Mp short telephoto + optical image stabilization), respectively, but must do without the small 3D iToF lens from Xperia 1 II, which measures distance and helps with sharpness and bokeh effects in the images.<\/p>\n<p>But of course, the Xperia 5 II comes with both the Cinematography Pro app, which was introduced last year with the Xperia 1, and the Photography Pro camera app, which came with the Xperia 1 II, and has pretty much the same interface as Sony&#8217;s Alpha cameras and thus offer manual setting of exposure, white balance, shutter speed, etc.<\/p>\n<h3>availability<\/h3>\n<p>Xperia 5 II will be available with Android 10 in the colors black, blue and gray.
