This phone is ranked 113 th, which means it isn't that great (unless you mostly do light task on it).

fibre, 11 Nov 2024there are no overheating issues anymoreThe chip inside potentially can overheat if you do intensive tasks.
SD 8 GEN 1 PLUS or higher has better heat management.

Kima, 18 Dec 2024Where did you buy it for such a great price?It's probably a used one being sold in Hong Kong or somewhere around there (usually in good condition), I've seen it being sold at an online store.

I C this phone being sold for $350.
It seems like a steal... wrong!
I can't even find a custom rom after 2 years have passed since release date, and perhaps I can't even unlock the boot loader.
Sad.

Sonyboi, 17 Nov 2024The green line issue is real and that comment before yours ... moreI often hear it happens after warranty happens.
Yes, it's Sammy panel, but still goes to Sony's responsibility for purchasing it before checking it carefully enough, which means they may have some quality control issue... well that sounds concerning to me.
I'm waiting for one of their 2nd hand device to see how it goes.
I'll report back here if anything bad happens.

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.
