      For the finger print. There is one technic i use that probably 90% read my finger print. You need to swipe a bit your thumb from bottom to up. Its not only cleanup the sensor also make easy sensor to read your thumb print (as expected when you swipe,same time clean the sensor)

        El, 16 Nov 2021Sony Xperia 5 is a big disappointment. I've been Sony ... moreMy experience quite differs from you :
        1. Battery sucks ? yes and no, from a used phone (japanese provider used phone), its still good enough, I daily drive this phone (without gaming, only internet time, whatsapp and other social media) and able to stay within 20% at the end of the day.

        2. As for camera, it's been a long time since sony have a great camera performance. I have ZFold 2 too, and always using it instead of my beater Sony Xperia XZ1 to take a picture due tobad low light performance, inconsistent results, and video is even worse). The Xperia 5 able to keep up with the Z Fold 2 and way more natural compared to the samsung. Even at night, the Xperia 5 can take a great shot, without using pro mode. The only downside is, it takes a long time to save a picture, and sometimes not saving it.

        I've been using Sony since like Xperia L, so yeah for the first time, their camera performs as I expected

        3. Fingerprint ? Yes, they are by far the worse experience I've ever had. I somehow managed to find a way to make fingerprint reading better, but cant give a consistent result.

        4. Spaker and Mic ? Both are good enough. My XZ1 used to have a great speaker and mic, but after numbers of diving in chlorinated pool and exposure to water with high mineral, the mineral kinda deposits on the speaker and ruins them (crackle), and people struggling to hear me too. I guess the culprit is the air dried water left deposits on the speaker and mic, check your unit. Now after exposure to those water, i rinse my phone with demineralized water, dries them manually by using tissue for earpiece speaker and both mic. Lastly plays a water ejecting sound for a few minutes.

        4. Overheat ? Only when recording 1080p 60fps inside a warehouse during mid-day in equator with no vents. That is my only experience of overheat. Oh, and when playing audio (or watching video) the lower speaker kinda hot, i dont know why.

        5. Overall ? Good enough, no lagging, I often have a videocall for more than 40minutes and it is indeed warm, but not hot enough to cause freeze or stuck.

        I think you get a bad unit, is it used or new ?

          Update: The phone is dead. Possibly has a bloated battery after 5 months of use. Need replacement. Bad Luck.

                    I've been thinking about getting one of these to use mainly to film music videos, all in the "do it yourself" way and I have a few questions:

                    1) Which are the safest places to buy a second hand/refurbished unity?
                    2) Samsung S9+/S10/Note 9 are better alternatives it in any way?

                    I'm asking it because these Samsung models are way easier to find (I can get one tomorrow if I had money right now), but I'm really curious about Sony and their cameras.
