Posted: 26 Aug 2020 08:07 AM PDT

The Xperia 5-sized hole in Sony's 2020 smartphone line-up may be filled soon - leakster Evan Blass just posted the first image of the phone. The design is essentially a scaled down Xperia 1 II as expected, but there are some differences. Starting with the camera on the back, we're glad to see that the ZEISS T* logo is still in place. However, the 3D ToF sensor is missing, on the larger flagship it sits just below the ZEISS logo. That aside, the Xperia 5 II camera should be just as capable as that of the 1 II. Further evidence of that is the shutter key on the right side of the phone,...
