Sony Xperia 5 IV - user opinions and reviews

2 questions:
- If anyone knows, for comparison, are both the screen and torch brighter than the Xperia 5 II or about as bright as the 10 V cause these are what I have to go on. There is nowhere really to have a look at one of these on display in a store near where I live cause it's just Samsungs, Apple and Xiaomi everywhere.
- also, is it true that the overheating problem is gone after some updates?

My advice is to avoid it! From 8 gen 1+ and upper ones Gen 2 etc are made by TSMC and they are way better ones{quality: doesn't overheat, power efficiency etc}. Cheers

Battery not overheating now, but if you are buying one - get a new one if possible. I bought a used one in "Like New" state from Amazon and yet it has 10% degraded battery. Guess from earlier overheating... Also camera is good but not great - photos from main sensor a bit worse than from my old LG V60. And Netflix gives me a constant error message (5.1) every few minutes. Supposedly a common Xperia issue

Some online stores in my country in their descriptions state that the xperia 5 IV uses TSMC's SD 8 Gen 1, is that true? and is there a difference between TSMC's SD 8 Gen 1 with Samsung's SD 8 Gen 1? Lastly, can anyone tell me how long Sony will provide software support for the xperia 5 IV? because it was released with Android 12 even though Android 13 had been released a month before. tks for the answer

SR, 25 Aug 2023Hi,
Which is better of these for choosing? Looking for best camera & best pictures phon... moreThat would really depend on what you want out of a picture. If you want the best photos for social media, go for the Oppo X5. It is consistent in most cases and has extreme AI modulation before the end result. However, HDR and highlights can sometimes miss. If you want to take landscape shots as they are, with no processing, go for the Sony. Sony does tend to have some noise at low light and is not that great with shooting people.
These two I've had. Your last pick I know nothing about.

hello, after several Samsung gamma s, I decided to test this phone, the battery life and performance is perfect and it is on top of Samsung, photos nothing special, in short it is a disappointment, it heats up a lot due to the processor. I don't buy sony anymore and I don't recommend it and the price is very exaggerated for the equipment.
