Overall, to talk about the highlight of this year’s Xperia 1 II to help the device can compete against rivals such as Galaxy S20 or iPhone 11 Pro on the market, it seems that we do not have too much to say. Compared to last year’s Xperia 1 generation, this year’s Xperia 1 II is mostly improved on the camera, with the main camera cluster that Sony claims has a much larger sensor size, compared to its predecessor, since then. Increase the ability to capture light when shooting in low-light conditions.

The advantage that many people notice on the Xperia 1 II when compared to competitors on the market or the main generation with the predecessor is the return of the 3.5mm headphone jack. At the launch event, Sony said Xperia 1 II focused on sound quality for the user experience, so bringing back the 3.5mm jack is understandable, because at the present time, Sound quality when transmitted over wireless will still not be as good as the traditional wired headset.

Xperia 1 II has the same 6.4 inch screen size and 4K resolution with a 21: 9 aspect ratio standard cinema

It still uses the traditional Omnibalance design language of Sony with square edges

The bezel of the Xperia 1 II is made a bit thinner than its predecessor, but difficult to recognize during actual use.
