            Main facts: 5ii lacks Qi charging, 1ii lacks 120hz.
            i never had a Sony phone but i remember one cool feature that could actually substitute wireless charging (which is the best phone feature of the decade!): the magnetic charging. A colleague had two dots on the Sony phone which could attach to a dock. That was cool! Happened maybe 5+ years ago.

                I have the Sony Xperia 5 ii and I can tell you that this phone is very powerful, every year I buy a phone with the most powerful chip from Qualcomm 835-845-855 and 865 and I can tell you that the Xperia 5 it is the most fluid phone I have used so far and that at 60 hertz it is very fast, applications open in a flash it is incredible! Frankly I'm very happy with my purchase and it's a shame that few people really know Sony because to try it is to adopt it, I was skeptical of the 21/9 format, especially for 16/16 videos. 9th and this is acceptable but I prefer to watch Netflix movies in 21 / 9th format, I am not someone who uses the camera a lot so I could not give my opinion, but the 68mm width and weight 168 grams were enough for me to buy it and compared to smartphones that exceed 200 grams with 76 mm width it feels terribly good on my wrist

                      I've been using this for 3 weeks. And man... I guess I can understand why Sony phones are speacial than the rest. Build quality is good, screen is amazing, no hiccups on everyday uses, gaming... However, the size of the phone is...a little funny :). When I just bought it, I though the small screen was a let down since I've been enjoying Samsung Note 10. But then I found it incredibly convenient. I spend lots of time at building constructions, with this phone I can easily take it out and take some shots at the constructions whenever I need. If Sony keeps making phones like xperia 1 or 5 series, I think only small group of certain customers can understand how good they are, for me I think I can really ne a regular one :)))))

Honestly, it's more personal preference. It might be absolutely jaw-dropping for you to hear that I honestly really like hole-punch designs, just scrolling stuff up and down past the cutout, watching content disappear and reappear on the other side, kind of makes me think "Huh, yeah, it works perfectly! Great engineering!"

                        Maybe I'm just more of someone to appreciate great engineering. Don't fret, though - when your Xperia 5 ii wears out, under-screen cameras will be everywhere.

                          Guys please what's the best phone case - screen protector for this phone? It's difficult to do edge swipes sometimes with the phone case I have. Unfortunately Spigen don't have Tough Armour case for this phone, only rugged armour. Tough armour might have had flatter/angled side which makes edge swiping easier.

                                  This is now one of a kind phone, just like the first foldable phone. To be honest the S20 is also not a competitor for the features Sony provides.
                                  If Sony can provide the same kind of package, reducing the screen bezel further or even a compact next year, I will be jumping to the Xperia from galaxy.
                                  With the kind of top bezel, I would have liked Sony to provide full speaker instead of just the ear piece. That will match the front firing bottom speaker

                                      I am frustrated by how terrible the battery life is on the Sony Xperia 5 II. I expected it to get better in a few days, but it is absolutely appalling. Nowhere close to the 102h endurance rating they are showing on this site. I am getting less than 5 hours of screen on time from full battery and that involves no gaming, refresh rate on 60Hz, many apps disabled, adaptive battery turned on and every setting on minimal performance. The phone does not get hot, just the battery is draining rapidly. Already in process to return the phone.

Would you accept a TV while a hole in the screen? Good on Sony to continue like this! Let's see for how long.
