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.
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.
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.
