Whilst bragging about better reception, people tend to forget it equals to higher SAR values.
They value their phones better reception over their health I guess.

That Phones Exynos throttles exactly the same, down to about 60%, even is a bit worse on occasion(with drop to 45%) than 5IV.
Could be its SD 8gen1 version is even worse throttler then...
But that heavy throttling fact is not even mentioned in its revs con section.
Whilst in 5IV rev its the most debated and commented con of con section.

It's a pity, it could be the perfect phone if it doesn't have bigger and older brother.

@77 considering how good Sony cable is (TP-E 10 coating and great quality port's) and that it isn't exactly widely available it's a very good reason to complain.

I have a xperia 1 mk I and it never freezes, very smooth and does not heat with day to day operations. I dont play games on phones so dont know if it would heat up with games. having a year older phone and with higher res display in xperia 1, I never had problems that you had with 5 MK II.

if people were really smart, they would look first into the SAR value before buying any phone but they didnt. they keep arguing which one heats more while playing games. humanity never fails to amaze.

Another review with no mention of manufacturer's security updates policy. Hard to believe it's still not getting through how important that is.

But who is offering something new? most of the phones now a days are just same. you try to find one which is just more balanced and Sony 5 IV is one of the balanced devices in the market. not to mention the display without a notch/punch-hole and a good battery life.

Pretty sure no one in their right mind would buy this and not a discounted Xperia 5 III, which is not worse in practically anything. Sure, a bit of battery life, but that's all.
