Technology from Alpha cameras – for razor-sharp results

Borrowing technology from Alpha professional cameras, the Xperia 5 II gives you the speed and accuracy you need to capture magic moments with razor-sharp focus and perfect exposure.

Capture perfect portraits every time

Not every portrait can be perfectly posed – sometimes you want something more spontaneous. And that’s where Real-time Eye AF comes into its own, whether you’re photographing fast-moving people or animals.

Unmissable moments, always in focus

Want to capture those priceless, split-second moments in perfect focus, every time? Continuous burst shooting at up to 20fps , complete with autofocus and auto exposure, gives you all the speed you need. 

Outstanding ZEISS quality in your Xperia

The versatile triple lens camera captures beautiful landscapes and portraits, and lets you zoom in on distant subjects. The ZEISS optics are specifically calibrated for the Xperia 5 II and feature the renowned ZEISS T* coating for reduced reflection, resulting in exquisite contrast and image rendering.

Great shots in low light

Xperia 5 II has a larger sensor to capture more light, and BIONZ X™ for mobile to deliver outstanding results in all lighting conditions.

Clearer, brighter and better contrast for everything you watch

The X1™ for mobile engine brings BRAVIA HDR remaster technology to everything you watch to enhance the contrast, colour and clarity of any content, even streaming services.

The Hollywood colour experience

Inspired by Master Monitor colour reproduction from Sony’s professional technology, used in leading Hollywood studio productions, now you can experience unprecedented colour accuracy with Creator mode “powered by CineAlta” to bring content to life exactly as it was envisioned. “Watch Extraction on Netflix.”

Experience multi-dimensional sound with Dolby Atmos®

Watching a movie with Dolby Atmos® is an immersive experience, with multi-dimensional sound flowing above and around you. The Xperia 5 II lets you experience Dolby Atmos® sound tuned in collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment with wired and wireless headphones, or the front-facing stereo speakers.

Enjoy smoother scrolling

Thanks to its 120Hz Refresh rate, the OLED display offers smooth scrolling and image transitions.

See what the competition is missing

The 21:9 display is wider than conventional displays, revealing more of the action – so you can see your opponents before they see you.

Enjoy smooth, blur-free gameplay

On the native 120Hz Refresh rate display, fast-moving objects are rendered clearly for seriously smooth gameplay. But the Xperia 5 II doesn’t stop there – with 240Hz Motion Blur Reduction, the display updates the image an incredible 240 times per second for blur-free action.

Precise and fast moves

For games that require fast fingers, the Xperia 5 II gives you the edge. It supports 240Hz Touch scanning rate, which is 4x higher than the previous model – meaning the action happens exactly as you intended for precision control. Touch response is quicker too, the system recognising your touch at the precise moment you intended.

3.5mm audio jack for ultimate sound quality

Plug your favourite headphones into the 3.5mm audio jack for a superior sound, with clearer left and right audio separation, reducing signal noise to an imperceptible 20dB – over 90% lower than previous model.

Improve the quality of all your music

DSEE Ultimate enhances the quality of all your digital music, using AI to automatically improve audio frequency and dynamic range in real-time. Both high and low ranges are improved taking each track close to High-Resolution Audio quality. It works with wired or wireless headphones, on local files and even streaming services.
