Down to £599 in the sony estore without headphones
Thinking of getting it for myself also. The one we got was for my missus. She's very happy and the battery easily lasts 2 full days, filled with her streaming and listening using the wireless headphones 8 hours a day, as well as the usual social media etc. I can't seem to find another phone that is that good in terms of battery life/camera/performance. Will keep an eye out for any black friday deals.

Anyone here with a 5ii use Google Duo or any other video calling app on a regular basis.
I am finding that the longer the phone has gone without a reboot, the more latency occurs during video calls. A call between my OnePlus 7 Pro and Pixel 4 the latency is almost unnoticeable, but on my 5ii after its been up a day or so, calling the Pixel 4 the latency can exceed 5 seconds, with freezing and severe sync issues on both ends of the call.
Reboot the 5ii, problem solved for another few hours or so.
This occurs mostly on WiFi but affects data to a lesser extent. When it gets really bad Duo will claim the WiFi is bad and is switching to Data, and it'll cycle between the two constantly. The WiFi is perfectly fine, with other devices including the 5ii happily saturating my FTTC link with reasonable latency under 15ms.
The situation is that every time I get a call from my kids I have to reboot my phone and call them back which is a nuisance and something I shouldn't be having to do on a flagship phone
This issue affected the 1ii too.
Anyone else?

£599 seems like an amazing price. Just not sure if I'd be happy with the size of it though

Anyone having delayed audio calls from messenger? I tried resintalling the app but for some reason there is a 2-5 second delay in audio

Can anybody vouch for what the audio sound is like into decent in-ears?
Is it as good as they say?

Now I'm no audiophile but the sound quality seems great through my older WH-H900N

Thanks, I've ordered the phone earlier after making a choice between around 6 in the same class.
Hopefully you are enjoying your purchase! Couple of issues that will hopefully be ironed out with software updates but the form factor makes it so much easier to hold!

Should be tomorrow after 5, my flip cover has come though.
Sony Xperia 5ii owners, could you check something for me please?
I received my Xperia 5ii yesterday on EE network. When I go to network setting > preferred network type ,. It does not give me the usual option to select between 4g, 3g, 2g etc...
There is only 1 option that if fixed. 5g/4g/3g/2g
Can anyone confirm that this is the same in your Xperia 5ii?

Thank you so much.
I just tried the same with a 'Three' 5g sim and all options are available.
I have logged a case with EE tech support who will speak to Sony on Monday to see what the issue is.

Is there a reason would you not want to use the first option (5G/4G/3G/2G)?
