If you feel like you want to try it, you could but warn you that this phone gets hot.
Snapdragon 888 is quite bad (I have another device with the same one inside, and it gets hot and drains battery quite fast).

I'm planning to buy second hand for $130. ... But many say this is very prone to Green Line issues. What 5 series do not suffer from the Green Line Issue? 51 and 5v?

Seriously, you can pick any brand of your choice, but avoid any of sammy fabricated chip.
The heat and bad efficiency issue is real.
I had a couple of these chips with different brands, and had heating and bad battery life issue.
It was clear as these chips drain battery like 2 % every hour without doing anything, but once I got TSMC fabricated chip, the difference was significant (roughly over 50 % battery life improvement).

But this device gets even hotter due to smaller size and possibly the camera consumes more power.

Anonymous, 10 Dec 2024yeah! if it's cheap, most likely it's locked down... moreYes.
It was very disappointing as the device itself was lovely.
Carrier locking dumb mechanism is so stupid, the locked phone shouldn't even be on market.
Well at least I got fully refund.

Rp, 29 Nov 2024I decided to buy an Sony xperia 5 mark 3 global version....... moreAs for camera quality, it is mostly up to whether you like the way the phone processes the images or not.
So don't take it too seriously about Apple hype, it's most just the software image processing and not really about camera quality.
This phone does take some decent pics as long as there is enough light.
I have not had green line issue yet, but there is a risk.
Therefore, if I were you, get it only if you can find it with good price (also make sutr it's in good condition too).

continuing to post below, I forgot to add another con about this phone.
Since I can't unlock bootloader on this model, I'm stuck with bloatware.
It does come with bloats such as facebook, netflix and few other games that I don't use.
I can only disable them.

Got a used one for about $170.
Pros:
-Comfortable form factor to hold
-Premium feel from the materials, convenient, example - easy to take out sim tray
-The main camera - Good natural photos, better detail than typical cheaper phone camera that I tried. I think it's possible to take great shots depending on skill of the user.
-Display is rather good
Cons:
-Battery life isn't great. Saw 7% drop on standby in 7 hours without sim / internet.
*Saw similar kind of drop with another SD 888 model; therefore, it could be due to inefficient SD 888 processor.
*I've seen only 3 % drop in 7 hours from the other cheaper phone with SD 870.
-Gets hot sometimes (feels hotter than the other SD 888 model when it gets hot)
-Can't unlock bootloader for my model
-Slow charging speed (It may be theoretically safer to charge slower but haven't seen clear evidence about slow charging speed = battery longevity according to my observation from other phones)
Verdict - It's OK, rather a good phone; however "definitely" not worth the original price.
*Haven't tried it long enough to see green line issue yet.
