Hi guys! I have some great news about next years Xperia devices! Some source( I won't say it) says some of their phones, or maybe all of them will have a huge battery upgrade from 5000 mAh to 5500 mAh!

I do not recommend you to buy this phone, the heat is increased when you use Camera.
I am very dissapointed.

Why? Why? My phone is getting hot again after taking a few short video of my kids. Though they solve it. Mine is already using the latest updated software. Sony, pls wake up your idea. I have just switched from samsung to YOU. Don't let me down again....

Anonymous, 12 Jul 2023Hello, I have a Sony Xperia I IV since June last year. The overheating issue has been resolved... moreI disagree. Its not a phone for hot and humid climates. Mines like a portable fireplace. firmware updates helped minimally, it still gets to the point where camera is not usable.

milesfastguy, 04 Aug 2023Do you mean to say that Sony fixed the over heat issue at the expense of severe throttling? ... moreEven the Xperia V smartphones throttels... but the thermal management is a lot better then in the beginning days of the IV models. Which was cause by an inefficient fab of Samsung 4nm node. They are fixed now trough firmware updates, but the fix came far to late.. so many people ditched their phones before the fix. I bought the 5 IV in July 2023 so i didn't noticed all the overheating issues the day-one buyers had.

Couple of days after my warranty expires, my fingerprint sensor stop working. The phone can't even detect it anymore (:.
Apparently this is a big issue with most of their phones. Cheap fingerprint sensors used in a VERY expensive phone.

milesfastguy, 27 Aug 2023Is the 4k active only when viewing 4k content? What about when viewing photos in the gallery e... moreBasically yeah. Only a few times is it actually on. Though tbf, a 4k display would kill the battery lol

Is the 4k active only when viewing 4k content? What about when viewing photos in the gallery etc, is 4k enabled or disabled that time?
The only reason why I'm considering the 1 series is the 4k display. Otherwise I think the 5 series is better-- more compact, cheaper, more power efficient, less heat etc. What do you think?

-No 4K display
