Have you all missed the message that the 1 II gets an update for 120Hz when not in 4K mode?
Nice phone, a reason to finally go back to Sony.

Sammy, 28 Sep 2020I was a big fan of Sony since the Sony Ericsson days but switched to Samsung/iPhone since 2013... moreMore worried about samsung/iphone lacking 3,5 mm jack.

vrvly, 28 Sep 2020What talking about, 64mp or 16mp is enough for 4K, we talk about the same thing?With 64MP 28mm you cannot record 4K at 70mm.
64MP 28mm can record 4K @ 28mm, but only HD after 3x digital zoom.
Duh !!!!!

"The 5 II gets a dedicated Google Assistant button, somewhere around the middle between the power button and the shutter key. There are no options for customizing or disabling that button, it just works. We'd appreciate being able to assign a different function to it, or disable it, but that's not the case here."
If this STUPID assistant button cannot be mapped to something else...then Sony has just lost another sale here in the US! But seeing how they don't really care about the US market anymore I guess it really doesn't matter to them.

This is a solid phone imo. It has everything people would want in a phone and looks really nice on top of it.
The thing I don't understand is why does Sony always get so much hate. Any Sony article always has a war going on

I bought the 1 11 before the release of the 5 11. I'd probably still choose the 1 11 however, given that the camera is marginally better in lower light conditions and the screen resolution is also superior. That said, the 5 11 is considerably cheaper and, with the better screen refresh rate, is going to be a better value option, particularly for gamers.

Its all the same to me. Plug it in or leave it on a deck that is already wired to the socket. Either way you wait for it to charge, using phone while charging either way is not recomended, and wireless is much slower at it.
Had the Xperia Dock for my old z1 compact magnetic wireless charge long ago. Went to charger again with X Perf.... didnt miss that dock at all.
Slide it in, put it on, or stick usb in... its simply charging, no substantial difference. Except qi wireless is the slowest option here.

The flagships from Sony this year are really good. The 1 II is a great smartphone, and the 5 II just brings a smaller form factor with other strengths. It's quite unique in its segment.
The price is perfectly justifiable in my opinion.

Supreme smart device quality! Like.no.Other.
If price was more decent it's was the best host cake of 2020.
Still better than most in every aspect!
Kudos Sony!

However...battery heating is a proven method of ruining the battery and wireless charging is guilty of overheating batteries. So, one or the other?

This phone is perfect but it will not succeed because of the price, unfortunately.

More than 13 hours of web browsing with 120hz refresh rate! That's what I wanted to see.
Size, camera, clean skin, headphone jack,
Sony nailed it

I‘m so much inclined on getting this phone. Price is well worth it. Still better when one can wait for the price to come down a little. With these battery life at 120Hz screen. This is Wahnsinn. Unbelievably good! Great job Sony!

Constructive criticism isn't like brand betrayal or anything.. no one and therefore also no thing is 100% perfect and flawless, and yes, like the creators of the device believe it or not, even this device has shortcomings - and this is coming from a very loyal Sony products consumer.
