According to our mobile phone expert
With its 128GB storage, the rectangular and compact Sony Xperia 5 II 128GB Blue 5G offers plenty of room for all your apps and files. The rectangular design is different to handle then what you're used to, but the 6.1-inch Full HD screen is compact. You can easily operate it with one hand. In addition, the 21:9 aspect ratio ensures that you don't see black borders when you watch a movie. The screen refreshes 120 times per second, so animations in any 3D games you play on this device look fluent. There are 3 cameras at the back of the device that let you take sharp photos. With the telephoto lens, you can zoom in up to 3 times without your photos turning out grainy. And thanks to the wide-angle lens, tall buildings and groups of people also fit in the frame in their entirety. Are you worried the 4000mAh battery won't make it through the day? Save energy with the STAMINA mode or charge the battery in no time with the included fast charger.

The stylish, elongated Xperia 5 II fits comfortably in the hand and is very powerful. You can only make full use of the high-quality cameras if you understand photography.
Handy and stylish appearance What strikes me first is the elegant design. The Xperia 5 II is thinner and more elongated than other smartphones. This takes some getting used to at first, but it fits very nicely in my hand. The camera island protrudes slightly, so that the device wobbles without a case when you put it down. The Xperia 5 II also has a connection for your headphones. Very handy as I always forget to charge my wireless earbuds. I find the separate button for the Google Assistant on the side less useful. I accidentally press it regularly.
Good cameras, complicated camera app This device has 3 good cameras, but for a photography layman it is almost impossible to get everything out of this. With the standard camera app, I find the possibilities quite limited. You choose one of the 3 lenses or a panoramic photo, but for all other functions I need the complicated Photo Pro app. I take beautiful photos and videos during the day with the standard app, but for example, for good night photos in the Pro app, I lack knowledge of photography. So you only use the camera fully if you understand ISO values, light metering functions and white balance, among other things.
Bright cinema screen I operate the long, narrow screen fairly well with one hand. I don't often see this with smartphones in this price range. I also see many details of films and series on the bright screen. The elongated device has the same shape as a cinema screen. Because of this, I don't see black edges when I watch a movie. Unfortunately, most series have a different aspect ratio, so I do see black edges on the sides.
Powerful and lightning fast I mostly use the phone on average. I whatsapp a lot, scroll through my social media and occasionally watch a video on YouTube. The Xperia 5 II runs like a charm during these tasks. Even when I start a heavy 3D game like Call of Duty, it continues to work quickly. So a real powerhouse!
Battery lasts all day With the average use I just described, the battery lasts about a day. So I didn't have to charge the smartphone in between. The charging speed was a bit disappointing for a smartphone of this price. After 50 minutes the battery was 70% full. That is certainly not slow, but certainly not fast in the current telephone market.

At first I was not convinced of such a large phone, but since there is almost nothing else on the market these days, you have to. I really like the size. The phone is comfortable in the hand and can also be operated with one hand. The possibilities with the cameras are very extensive. Nice quality photos, even if you view them on the laptop.
