Saying that, we can make some educated guesses as to when the phone will land and how much it will cost.<\/p>\n<p>The Sony Xperia 5 was announced in September 2019 and released in October, and since the Xperia 1 and Xperia 1 II had somewhat similar release dates to each other in their respective years, there&#8217;s reason to believe the Xperia 5 II could come in September of this year<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s possible Covid-19 could cause manufacturing issues which result in that launch being pushed back though, so perhaps October or November is a possible option too.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of price, the Sony Xperia 5 cost $799 \/ &pound;699 (roughly AU$1,200), but it&#8217;s likely the Xperia 5 II will be a 5G phone, which would cause the cost to be bumped up quite a bit. The Xperia 1 II was $250 \/ &pound;250 (roughly AU$400) more expensive than its predecessor, largely because of the 5G connectivity, so there could be price rises in store.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, these are just guesses right now, so we&#8217;ll have to wait until the phone&#8217;s launch (or some leaks) to have a better idea.<\/p>\n<div class=\"slot-double-height-image-0\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<figure data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy-image-van optional-image loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/techradar\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" alt=\"\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/techradar\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sDpqSDUjjMyPbREqG9Qvqj-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sDpqSDUjjMyPbREqG9Qvqj-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sDpqSDUjjMyPbREqG9Qvqj-970-80.jpg 970w\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sDpqSDUjjMyPbREqG9Qvqj.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/sDpqSDUjjMyPbREqG9Qvqj.jpg\" data-was-processed=\"true\" \/><\/p><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"sony-xperia-5-ii-leaks-and-rumors\">Sony Xperia 5 II leaks and rumors<\/h2>\n<p>There haven&#8217;t been many credible Sony Xperia 5 II leaks yet, but one report does paint an initial picture of the phone, and it comes from leaked&nbsp;<a class=\"hawk-link-parsed\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NodSikharulidze\/status\/1266368849311498244\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-original-href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NodSikharulidze\/status\/1266368849311498244\" data-component-tracked=\"1\" data-custom-tracking-id=\"4315292606876538000\">@NodSikharulidze<\/a>&nbsp;on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, the phone will have a 6.1-inch 21:9 screen, so it won&#8217;t exactly be &#8216;compact&#8217; by many people&#8217;s definitions save in comparison to the Xperia 1 II&#8217;s 6.5 inches.
