Guys, the highly anticipated Sony Xperia 1 II will be available on O2. We have seen a few posts on here asking for the launch. The new Sony Xperia 1 II is built for speed, it has a powerful Snapdragon 865 processor and unbelievably quick camera autofocus. Plus, it’s ready for the 5th Generation with O2 5G.

 

But let’s see some more details why we and a lot of people on here were waiting for the Xperia 1 II …

Focus faster

The Xperia 1 II can capture things that were previously impossible on a smartphone. Developed with Sony’s Alpha camera engineers and built with Zeiss optics, the 12MP triple-lens system has up to 20fps continuous burst shooting, complete with autofocus and auto-exposure. You’ll never miss the moment.

 

Sounds incredible

It’s a well-known fact that Sony’s audio experts are among the best in the world – and they’ve had their hands on the Xperia 1 II. Enjoy cinema-quality Dolby Atmos sound when you’re watching a movie, and hear music in a new way with 360 Reality Audio, which is tuned in collaboration with Sony Music Entertainment.

 

A movie screen in your hand

If anyone knows screen technology, it’s Sony. The Xperia 1 II uses Sony’s Bravia HDR engine to bring you unrivalled clarity and detail. The 21:9 CinemaWide OLED display brings you movies in stunning cinema quality thanks to new motion blur reduction technology, and with 4K and HDR, you’ll see them exactly how they were made to be viewed.

 

 

And… if you pre-Order now you can claim a free pair of headphones worth £329.

PLEASE NOTE: Our pre-order promotion has been so popular that we have nearly sold out of our allocation of 1,750 Sony WH1000XM3 headphones. So any customer who pre-orders this device from us tomorrow morning aren't disappointed, from approx. 8am Tue 9 June 2020 we will change the offer to Sony WH910 headphones. More info.

Well I decided I couldn't wait any longer and ordered off giffgaff last night and it's arrived already. Just setting it up. Have to say it's weird being so tall compared to my Xperia x compact but I love it already. Feels more premium than mid range and it's so much faster than my current phone!

No worries, I have waited so long for this phone as soon as I realised I could order it from a reputable place I thought I might as well just get it.
So far.... Screen size is the main thing I will have to get used to. My Xperia x compact is tiny in comparison now well the screen that is. It's not any wider and it's actually thinner so it should be fine. Just tried Now TV and it gives you the option to fit to screen so that you don't get the black bars on each side. Amazon prime video is fine as most play back in 16:9 anyway. I was worried about the speaker as other reviews said it's a single speaker. It's far louder than the x compact stereo setup just gets a bit distorted on full volume but I don't play it that loud anyway. I have transferred the Xperia keyboard as they now use the Google g board. I am still in the old days of using the t9 phonepad style so glad I have been able to transfer that. Camera is great again miles better and faster experience. Overall it's a great phone and all the negative about the snapdragon processor being basic can't be noticed at all on this phone. It's fast, smooth and enjoyable to use. Sony know what they are doing in the optimisation department. If you have any other questions let me know, hope O2 bring it out soon!

Yeah the 10ii does look and feel a bit better than most "mid range" handsets I must admit, tbh even the L4 is massively improved as an entry level model, was quite impressed setting up my mother in law's one from O2.
If it was me, I wouldve waited til the 18th, O2 are kinda like an official partner on the launches for this year, all the Sony UK adverts point to O2 for pre order deals and I wonder what deal O2 would put out on the 10ii. Considering they are putting out the £1099 Xperia 1ii for £799 with free £349/£249 headphones, it's an exciting time to be a Sony user on o2.

No there isn't an fm radio. Can't say I have ever used it and there are loads of free fm radio player apps on play store

Yeah it's definitely an improvement. I have used various Sony handsets for years so glad this one doesn't disappoint.
I was going to wait but I am on a sim only contract which I have recently changed onto so just wanted a handset only.
