Anonymous, 15 Nov 2024What is it with this green line issue that I often hear on ... moreThe green line issue is real and that comment before yours was mine.
It's only happened on one Xperia device, my 5 IV, but then I didn't keep multiple previous models long enough to have hardware issues.
The screen is actually Samsung and not Sony. The exact green line issue happens to recent Samsung devices as well.
Sony should have offered a gratis fix for since it's a known manufacturing flaw. Instead in my case, it happened six weeks after my warranty run out.
Will probably cost £300+ to get it fixed and that's basically the value of the phone second hand, so pointless.
Not buying a Sony Xperia ever again, and I generally upgraded every 1-2 years...

Is this real or people are just spreading fake information?
I thought Sony phone is supposed to have good quality for that kind of price, but if not then they seriously need to take responsibility and do something about it.

Interesting that somone has recently commented about green lines. Literally 6 weeks after my two year warranty expired, the dreaded "green line" appeared - after a WhatsApp call.
It started off very light pink then in the space of a few hours turned bright neon green. It is always there.
I also have had the widely known about fingerprint scanner hardware issue, where that failed a few months ago.
This will be the last Sony phone I buy after 10 years. I don't expect a near £1000 device to last basically two years and then need replacing.
Vivo, Oppo or Xiaomi will be my next device.
It seems Sony use their Xperia line as a loss-maker to test their mobile components, where they make back significantly more money selling to other manufacturers. There is little point in buying Sony mobile's any more, especially where the Chinese brands now have class-leading devices, that seem reliable and are also cheaper.

After using the phone for 2 years since launched in my country. this phone is alright, how ever i gotten the green line of wonders and my power button has lost its clickyness and works like 30 % of the time. Unfortunately i think that sony just did not developed some parts enough, which makes me sort of dislike it, also the parts are quite hard to find and almost required to give to sony service centers or just go aliexpress lmao(some parts are also not there). the phone still overheat but only when using it non stop for like 2 hours which i think its reasonable.

Can anyone deny or confirm the overheating issues? have they been solved through updates? I am keen on a Sony phone, and after seeing the 5V's terrible display in a store, I would rather go one year back.

Kujtim Zymeri , 15 Sep 2024Nope. I just bought it for 400€ global model 8-128 and ever... moreBought a Sony Xperia 5 IV 8/128 on 27/05/2023 for 700€ in France, green line appeared this morning (19/10/2024) for no reason. The phone was charged before I slept, was unplugged at 90% (battery care), and while watching at the phone this morning a green line started to appear slowly. Now it is bright and constant. So, I would definitely advise anyone to not buy it. I always took care of my devices, my first laptop lasted for 12 years and still work when plugged (battery is dead). So I'm quite upset with this phone. It's the first time it happens, and coincidentally the first Sony phone I buy while avoiding cheap brand issue in mind. Obviously Sony is no better than the cheap brand. Would advise to buy a 200€ phone and to crash it on a rock every new year to buy a brand new one. Would be less a hassle than taking care of something for it to die with no reason.

I am so happy with it.

I once had a sony Xperia z2 and z3 all both phones after dropping screen cracked single line across the screen and touch stopped responding. Do the sony 1 and 5 series do the same coz other brands like Samsung and iPhone they still work with cracked screens.
