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.

But... moreNope. I just bought it for 400€ global model 8-128 and everything is so fast as great. No green lines no overheat issues at all and the camera is way better than in other devices of the same category.
I am so happy with it.
Battery: More than two days left every time you check 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.

Sony must make a 5 inch version of Xperia with 9:21 aspect ratio like this one. And they should increase the screen to body ratio to at least 86%.

Mine broke a month ago, so I called the support line, posted it to Sony, received it back about 10 days later and works perfectly.

Love this phone actually, but then the finger print reader died on me, first worked only sometimes and then stopped totally. I even reset everything. What to do?

This was way too good until Sony intentionally degraded it's successor "Xperia 5 V". They got rid of the Telephoto lens, increased the thickness, made the bezels bigger. Sony literally knew the 5 IV was too good they literally had to make it's successor worse 🤯
You should get the 5 IV over the 5 V if you don't mind the older android update, the shorter battery life & the slightly worse speakers. It's overall an improvement as far as media consumption is concerned.

Alexander Ong, 07 Feb 2024The Phone is really great on every aspect, great software, ... moreI have the same problem with fingerprint reader. I used to be a Samsung die-hard fan with multiple Galaxies in a row, but when they ditched jacks in practically all their higher end phones, I went for this one, and I mostly regretted it. The first few months it was continuously crashing /restarting, LOADS of software glitches, eventually it settled down as I guess they fixed the worst bugs. The near-stock Android may have its fans but I appreciated a lot of extras that Samsung brings and I didn't even know it was Samsung, but mostly I got to tolerate Xperia (never loved it like I did Samsungs, but it was ok-ish).
Not long ago the fingerprint reader started acting out and every time the phone gets even a bit warm (not even hot - just warmer, as we enter the summer...) it dies. After it cools down and restarts it sometimes comes back - but more and more often it does not. And since Xperia doesn't do iris scanners, it means entering passwords all the bloody time. I hate it and I'm going back to samsung, jack or not...
