Average battery life
A bit overpriced
Late to market
Most basic of retail bundles

Quite expensive
Confusing array of buttons
Real-time Eye AF could focus quicker
Must be a heck of a margin on this thing at almost $1

No wireless charging. No 5G despite compatible hardware
Cheaper than Xperia 1 II, Colour-accurate 120Hz screen, Sublime camera performance
Still a bit pricey
It might be the world's trickiest game of spot the difference but the shared similarities with the Xperia 1 II make the Xperia 5 II the more worthwhile purchase. In my view, the Xperia 5 II is a rip-roaring success and, if you were initially dismayed at t...

Easy-to-use design, Great cameras, 120Hz screen looks great
Annoying Google Assistant button, Still quite a high price, Antiquated unlock button

No wireless charging, Fingerprint sensor tricky for left-handers

As mentioned, the Xperia 5 II is technically impressive. Its OLED display and Dolby Dynamic Bass speakers make it an excellent multimedia device. If you like to bingewatch Netflix shows, this could be the phone for you. It also delivers highquality photos...
Abstract: Just last month, the Sony Xperia Pro was released in the US but at a premium price of over ~RM10K. In their defence, this phone was made more for professional content creators rather than casual smartphone users. Fair enough, but it's a bit strange for a...

Abstract: A few months back, SONY Malaysia have launched the Xperia 5 II silently. So what are the differences and upgrades on this device by comparing with the previous model? This device comes with a 6.1-inch 21:9 CinemaWide™ FHD+ HDR OLED display with a 120Hz re...
