Sony Xperia 5 II

Le Sony Xperia 5 II, sorti en octobre 2020, est un produit phare compact qui affine les meilleurs éléments de son grand frère, le Xperia 1 II, dans un facteur de forme plus abordable. Au prix de 949 $/799 £ au lancement, il cible les amateurs de multimédia, les joueurs et les photographes avec son écran cinématographique 21:9, ses fonctionnalités d’appareil photo de qualité professionnelle et son taux de rafraîchissement de 120 Hz, une première pour Sony à l’époque. Propulsé par le Snapdragon 865, il offre des performances phares en mettant l’accent sur l’excellence audiovisuelle, y compris une prise casque 3,5 mm et des applications de caméra avancées comme Photo Pro et Cinema Pro. Bien qu’il ne prenne pas en charge la recharge sans fil et la 5G aux États-Unis, le Xperia 5 II a été salué pour son design élégant et ses fonctionnalités polyvalentes. En 2025, avec les nouveaux modèles Xperia disponibles, cet appareil est toujours aussi attrayant pour ceux qui recherchent un téléphone compact et axé sur les médias à un prix potentiellement réduit.

Avantages
  • Compact and Ergonomic: The 6.1-inch display and 21:9 aspect ratio make it easy to hold, ideal for one-handed use.
  • 120Hz Display: Smooth scrolling and gaming with a vibrant FHD+ OLED panel, a step up from the Xperia 1 II’s 60Hz.
  • Pro Camera Features: Real-time Eye AF, 20fps burst shooting, and Cinema Pro app cater to photographers and videographers.
  • Audio Excellence: Features a 3.5mm headphone jack, Dolby Atmos, and 360 Reality Audio for audiophiles.
  • Solid Battery Life: The 4000 mAh battery lasts a full day, with 7-8 hours of screen-on time at 120Hz.
Inconvénients
  • No Wireless Charging: A notable omission for a flagship at this price point.
  • No 5G in the US: Lacks 5G support in the US model, limiting future-proofing.
  • Complex Camera Apps: Photo Pro and Cinema Pro apps are powerful but have a steep learning curve for casual users.
  • Slippery Design: The glossy glass back is a fingerprint magnet and prone to slipping.
  • Average Selfie Camera: The 8MP front camera lacks autofocus and struggles with dynamic range.
  • Add Wireless Charging: Include wireless charging to align with flagship standards.
  • Global 5G Support: Ensure full 5G compatibility, including mmWave, for all regions.
  • Variable Refresh Rate: Upgrade to a 120Hz LTPO display for better power efficiency.
  • Simplified Camera Software: Streamline Photo Pro and Cinema Pro apps with a more intuitive UI for casual users.
  • Improved Selfie Camera: Upgrade to a higher-resolution front camera with autofocus and better low-light performance.
  • Grippier Design: Introduce a textured or matte finish to reduce slipperiness.
  • Faster Charging: Support 45W or higher fast charging to match competitors.

The Sony Xperia 5 II remains a compelling choice for multimedia enthusiasts in 2025, especially if available at a reduced price. Its 120Hz FHD+ display, compact form factor, and pro-grade camera features make it a standout for gamers, photographers, and cinephiles. The return of the 3.5mm headphone jack and excellent audio capabilities further enhance its appeal for audiophiles. However, the lack of wireless charging and 5G support in the US, combined with a slippery design and complex camera apps, make it less competitive against newer flagships like the Xperia 5 V or rivals from Samsung and Google. For Sony loyalists or those who prioritize a compact phone with cinematic features, the Xperia 5 II is still a solid pick, but its successors likely offer more modern features for a similar price in 2025.
