Mr. Beluga, 28 Feb 2023How much is the Xperia 5 in your country?That's the main problem: There's no Xperia available here in Brasil. I need to import a unity a also pay taxes and other stuff, so the price is always fluctuating.
I can get a Xperia 1 for roughly 200 dollars or a Xperia 5 for 185 dollars, excluding taxes and other stuff.

Yeah, I still want try a Xperia phone, I'm honestly curious with the camera experience and I'm aware of the poor battery life. Since my last comment, I did tested S10e and S10. Both are amazing, so I still have a second option if Sony gets too much for my current budget.

1. It's advisable to buy phones from authorised phone dealer shops near you. So as to avoid getting scammed.
2. Samsung phones are generally easy to find because of high demand. All the Samsung phones you mentioned are great alternatives to this phone. And i think they are also cheaper (except maybe the S10). But if you want to try SONY, you can go ahead. I'm sure you wont be dissapointed (except battery life apparently)
Hope This Helps.

Coming back to this phone in 2023, I only noticed the AOSP Open Device program for several Sony phones*. It turns out that Sony rolls out Android 12.0 binaries for this phone. If you think about it, Sony can officially roll out a third OS update to this phone. After all, both Samsung and LG flagship phones of 2019 do receive stable Android 12 OS updates. I don't mind this AOSP program thing since I used to flash custom ROMs, but most average consumers don't do that kind of thing.

Xperia5user, 02 Feb 2023Fingerprint sensor not working after 2 month of useMine took longer before the fingerprint scanner failed, 2+ years of usage, got this phone on release day. Also, this has dropped more than I can remember to count, so not really the phone's fault.
Just had it repaired for 55 SGD and it works again as per normal. Been waiting for this phone to break beyond use so I can replace it already, this year's the release of Xperia 5 V already, hahaha.

The battery life is ok it can run for 5 - 7 hours om regular usage as my area is not on gaming and heavy use but on whatsapp browser ms office e.t.c
The battery saver is very good and extends the life a lot
It is a very good phone overall but it depends on which phone you got
The one i got was in very good condition and it may differ from phone to phone
If you have the money then i recommend getting a new phone but if you care about gaming and dont mind the reduced battery life for a cheap price then you can get this phone
The phone is amazing and even with 60hz feels smooth . Its rare for the phone to lag(at least for me)
