The Sony Xperia 5 II is the successor of the Sony Xperia 5 that was previously introduced. It’s also a little less expensive alternative to the Sony Xperia 1 II. The Xperia 5 II has a hardware configuration that puts it in the flagship category. Furthermore, it provides extensive support for top-tier smartphone gaming, smartphone photography, and a variety of other activities.
The design of the Xperia 5 II isn’t dissimilar to that of several of Sony’s recently announced Xperia smartphones. It has a design that is extremely similar to the Xperia 5 and the more expensive Xperia 1 II.
The design similarities between the front and back panels are revealed in the paragraph above. The front and back panels are also encased in glass. You also receive an IP65 / IP68 dust and water resistance rating.
Aside from the glass covering on the back, there are three cameras, an LED flash, and the OEMs Sony and Xperia, which indicate the device’s manufacturers.
Although the Xperia 5 II has a similar design to the aforementioned smartphones, it does not have the same height or weight. In comparison, it has a smaller display and a more compact chassis.
A 6.1-inch OLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2520 pixels provides enthusiasts with access to the user interface. This replaces the 4k display found in the more expensive Xperia 1 II.
A 120Hz refresh rate compensates for the lack of a 4K rich display, making the UI and games much smoother and more pleasant.
In terms of gameplay, Sony included a unique graphene layer that helps to reduce heat generated by charging. The power from the charger is directed through this graphene layer to keep the phone powered on without charging the battery. This allows gamers to play for longer periods of time while their charger is plugged in, without having to worry about heat.
