Sony Xperia 5 II leaked render shows off a familiar design with a camera shutter key

At the IFA trade show in September last year, Sony unveiled the Xperia 5 — a compact version of its flagship Xperia 1 with the Snapdragon 855 SoC, triple cameras, and a 21:9 display. Similarly, the company is expected to launch a compact version of this year’s flagship Xperia 1 II and the device will, most likely, be called the Sony Xperia 5 II (Sony Xperia 5 Mark 2). While Sony is yet to reveal any information about the device, noted leaker Evan Blass (@evleaks) has now shared a render of the Xperia 5 II that showcases a familiar design.

As you can see in the attached image, the upcoming Xperia 5 II will look almost identical to the Xperia 5 from last year, featuring a 21:9 tall display with bezels on the top and bottom. The device will feature a triple camera setup on the back with minimal design changes to the camera module, a side-mounted capacitive fingerprint scanner, and a dedicated camera shutter button on the right edge. Unlike the original Xperia 5, however, the Xperia 5 II’s fingerprint scanner doesn’t look to be recessed and this could possibly be Sony’s solution to the fingerprint scanner issues that plagued the Xperia 1 and Xperia 5.

Although the render reveals no information about the Xperia 5 II’s hardware specifications, we believe that it will be a minor upgrade over its predecessor since the Xperia 1 II was also a minor upgrade over the original Xperia 1. We expect Sony to include Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 865 SoC on the Xperia 5 II, coupled with an FHD+ OLED display, up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage.

Due to the smaller form factor, the battery on the device will also be smaller than the one found on the Xperia 1 II and it should be between 3,200mAh and 3,600mAh. The device will, most likely, feature the same camera setup as the Xperia 1 II, with a 12MP f/1.7 primary camera, a 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera, and a 12MP f/2.4 telephoto camera. Over on the front, the device is expected to feature a single 8MP selfie shooter. As mentioned earlier, Sony is yet to release any official information about the Xperia 5 II. We’ll update this post as and when the company releases any information about the device.
