Must be a heck of a margin on this thing at almost $1,000, No wireless charging. No 5G despite compatible hardware, Vibration feels loose and springy, which isn't okay at this price point, Slippery, prone to fingerprints. These need to go away

There's a lot to like about the Xperia 5 II: it's more usable than its larger -- and considerably more expensive - Xperia 1 II stablemate, while sharing some, though not all, of its high-end features. The 120Hz screen refresh rate makes for smooth transi...
Abstract: Announced in September 2020, the Sony Xperia 5 II takes a lot of the features from the more expensive Xperia 1 II and shrinks into a smaller (and more affordable) smartphone. The camera unit consists of three different cameras. There's a 12 megapixel, 24...
