Sony Xperia 5 II Official Renders & Specs Leaked in Its Entirety Ahead of Launch

Sony might not be attending IFA 2020 next week but the company has announced that it will take the wraps off its next flagship on September 17. The Sony Xperia 5 II (read as Xperia 5 Mark 2) will be unveiled next month as a compact version of the top-end Xperia 1 Mark II.

While there are a good three weeks before the device goes official, the folks at Android Headlines have published the Xperia 5 II’s specs sheet in all its glory. Well-known and reliable tipster Evan Blass (better known as @evleaks) has also shared official renders for the device, which you see attached above.

Sony Xperia 5 II Leaked Specs

Sony Xperia 5 II boasts the exact same design as its elder sibling, the Xperia 1 II. The device is said to feature a 6.1-inch Full HD+ OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. It also supports a 240Hz touch response rate, a 21:9 aspect ratio (cinematic), and HDR certification.

If this leak is proven true, then Sony Xperia 5 II will be the first Sony to include a 120Hz refresh rate display.

Though it is said to be a compact phone, the 158mm height of the device is not really short compared to its 165mm tall elder sibling. Xperia 5 II will be powered by the Snapdragon 865 chipset, coupled with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in storage, to give it that flagship status. Sony will also include a microSD card slot to let users expand storage.

The smartphone will come equipped with a bigger 4,000mAh battery and USB-PD charging support via the Type-C port at the bottom. There’s a 3.5mm headphone jack onboard as well.

The report further suggests that the triple camera array on the rear will include a 12MP (f/1.7) primary sensor, a 12MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide lens with a 124-degree FOV. This camera setup is very similar to the Xperia 1 II and lacks only a ToF sensor. It also carries the ZeissT* branding on the rear.

So yeah, Sony Xperia 5 II is shaping up to be a feature-rich and premium flagship but there’s currently no word on whether it will launch in India or not. Sony has wrapped up its India operations a while ago but with the anti-Chinese sentiment on the rise, it could be a golden opportunity for the Japanese company to make a comeback.
