AnonD-954200, 29 Sep 2020We'll never understand how Sony names their products
LolI really think people are nit picking Sony:
many, including reviews, nit pick on the naming. Xperia 5 II, what is so difficult about this? Queen Elizabeth II you have no problem with? A7s iii no problem? Iphone 12 max pro is a mouthful too.
nit pick on a 21:9 screen is too tall. most samsung phones are 20:9 and that's not a big difference and most are equally tall as the 1 ii or 5 ii in length. Yet no one ever said they are too tall or too big.
I think they have almost got everything right with the 5 II, for me it could be smaller, with a true dual sim instead of hybrid. I applaud them for keeping the headphone 3.5mm, no notch, no curved screen, sim and SD tray open with fingernails only (i never understood why sim eject tool is invented, imagine the metal wasted in the world), integrated fingerprint and power button (since 2015, now other brands do it) I wish the lanyard holes are still there.
What I wish Sony could do is: real dual sim, free bumper, UI software support for dual accounts for Whatsapp etc (a la Samsung), option for a sub 6 in screen.

Anonymous, 30 Sep 2020- Sony 4K + delta 0.7 + 100% usable surface + can upscale SDR to HDR
- Oppo QHD + delta 0.... moreBlah.. Blah... Blah.... Nobody cares about your therotical analysis.
Find X2 pro has an A+ rating from DisplayMate.
They called it Indistinguishable from perfect.
I trust DisplayMate over some delusional Sony fan.
Find X2 pro display won more awards than the amount of Sony sales this year.

Apple has it and Samsung has it but works in different way than Samsung

H.S works like laptop when user removes battery.
You can use phone for 20, 40, 100, 240, 500 min etc ..
Not single 1% is used.
If battery is 100%, it will remain 100% as long H.S is working. Battery temperature decreases about 8 Celsius compared to H.S off.
And it is not just for games, a list of apps that can use it show up there.
Few days after phone was released in Japan, a guy posted the test.
34 Celsius only after playing games for a while.
Oppo about 39 Celsius while charging and OnePlus even passes 40. And he did not even used the phone for games while charging. Otherwise both would pass 50 Celsius easily.
Not even phones with SD810 reach this while charging.

BBk tech is just to make sure it is safe against explosions while charging at this high voltage.
It will still get hot.

- Oppo QHD + delta 0.8 + piece is missing + stupid useless curved sides (unwanted touches, glare, fragility and different colour tones compared to centre)
- Both 8bit + 2 (samsung does not make 10bit, only LG, Boe and China Star).
* Industry stardards are Full HD and 4K. QHD is useless. Nothing is recorded in this resolution.
If you do not use find x2 pro, you would not come here make all these advertisement. Not even tech sotes care about this phone. Oppo is lucky Southeast Asia still fall for their bad phones. Western world gives s**** to them.

They(phones from BBK electronics) have much superior VOOC or equivalently named technology that keeps the phone cool even while charging and using the phone.
Sony will take 2-3 more years to reach that level in fast charging tech.

About the screen, it goes brighter with creator mode.
Data is not included, but it was for Xperia 5 (631).
Using the R-G-B controls, you can lower delta to 0.7.

Don't know where you got that idea from.
But I know people who are using it as daily driver.
I praise phones which are great. Find X2 pro is an awesome phone with a much better display than Xperia 5 II.
Hahhah You simply can't handle a Chinese flagship being better than Sony.

At least phone has this.
I am sure it will become "must have" as soon any chinese or samsung copies. 10000% sure.
Like everything else previously called gimmick before they had.

You hate the phone for a button and because it can use the HS Power control only for gaming? Please stick to your Exysh** and ICr**...Leave these for us Sony fans!

It's a shame there has to be a workaround to begin with.

If the Xperia 5 II had a five inch screen and Gorilla Glass Victus then it'd be an even more compelling device. I'd really like to see their little phones again. Can't wait for next year's products, would be pleasant to get an Xperia phone again after long

Well, upon further research it appears as if the fancy Battery bypass only works when in gaming mode = FAIL
On top of that it appears as if there is no way to remap the STUPID assistant button which = double FAIL!
Now I could live with the battery bypass not doing what I had hoped...but to be stuck with an assistant button when I never use any assistant is unacceptable and I will not buy it. Hopefully, this will change before it's time to lay down any cash. Makes me sick that Sony contracted with Google to force this useless, obnoxious crap on its customers. Talk about shooting yourself in the eyes!

It's easy to see the table with much brighter screens in the lab and think "dim." It's like seeing a USD100K car ranked thirtieth amidst cars that cost USD150K then saying the 100K car is cheap. Understand your numbers boss.

If you have 5 mark i, wait mark iii ...
Gorilla Virtus, ufs3.1, maybe more functions for Pro apps, maybe usb3.2 , surely Snap 875. I also suppose 12GB because 1ii has one version in Japan (I think China will get as well). Maybe micro matrix tech.
Not sure about cmos size, but triple 12MP is high probability.
* just as curiosity, the hexa cam that rumor showed up in late 2019 was real. Two version , one with monochrome wide camera, the other with periscope. Someone said no, both got killed.

SM25, 29 Sep 2020Is it worth waiting 5mk ii or to go now with 5 from 2019?As an Xperia 5 owner I would say - pick the new one, they fixed to many Xperia 5 issues.
Camera, jack, fps sensor, battery are probably the best improvements that come to mind + at least you get some preorder bonus to ease your pain.

LOL ......
First things I check if phone has what I wa... moreYour decision making process is certainly different than mine - I read a ton of reviews for every phone that comes to my mind.
Checking the device in store has close to 0 value for me, since I do not usualy have my rig with me and testing conditions are more than poor.
I simply buy the best looking phone or phones and the one I do not like travel back in 14 days of my personal evaluation.
+ I can't personally test thing like brightness, response rate, I do not have consistent battery tests etc.
I do not mind letting professionals with proper gear to do their job of making my final decision based more on fact than my own personal delusion caused by placebo effect.
