Sony Xperia 5 II leak points to Snapdragon 865, 120Hz display, and headphone jack - Android Police

The Sony Xperia 5 was announced last September. It was more or less a mini Xperia 1. Right on schedule, we're starting to see leaks about Sony's next small flagship, the Xperia 5 II — and surprise of surprises, it hews pretty closely to this year's Xperia 1 II, just in a smaller package.

This extensive leak comes by way of the lovely folks over at Android Headlines. According to their source, the Xperia 5 II will share a number of key specifications with the Xperia 1 II, including the Snapdragon 865 chipset, eight gigs of RAM, and the entirety of the rear camera setup. It's also got a 3.5-millimeter headphone jack, something the original Xperia 5 lacked.

There are a couple of key differences, though: while the 1 II had a 60Hz 4K display, the 5 II looks like it'll have a 6.1-inch 120Hz 1080p panel with a 240Hz touch sampling rate. The smaller phone also comes with 128 gigs of onboard storage as opposed to the 1 II's 256.

It's worth pointing out that while the Xperia 5 II does pack a Snapdragon 865, it's entirely possible that it won't be 5G-capable — the Xperia 1 II uses the same chipset but does not support 5G in the US (one of several disappointments about that model).

AH believes the Sony Xperia 5 II is set to be fully unveiled on September 17, so we've only got a few more weeks to wait for confirmation.

UBports GSI brings Ubuntu Touch to any Project Treble-supported Android device - XDA Developers

Image
The ability to boot an AOSP Generic System Image (GSI) on a compatible Android device is one of the best outcomes of Project Treble, but a similar achievement has yet to be made in the domain of generic kernel development. Google does mandate a minimum Linux kernel version requirement with each new release of Android, but you still can’t simply flash a generic ARM Linux distribution on your Android smartphone and expect it to work due to the fact that the majority of the Android devices are not using a mainline Linux kernel. There exists a community-driven project named UBports that aims to bring Ubuntu Touch (a mobile version of the popular Ubuntu Linux distribution) to Android devices, but their device support is fairly minimal to date. XDA Recognized Developer erfanoabdi, however, is trying to tackle the situation from a different angle. Instead of waiting for device-specific patches to be landed in the mainline Linux kernel source tree, the developer has successfully created a G
