Mine got 2 year old and the fingerprint sensor stopped working. I tried several things on setting but still not working. Looks like is a hardware issue and cost around $200 to get fixed with a Sony Authorized Service. Weird that my previous phone Xperia XZ Premium is still fully functional.

Mine is over 2 years old without problems. It's the smallest one with a proper periscope lens which is very useful. I really hope not to need to replace it for a long time because it does just about everything I need competently and is not too large.

No green line issues at all. The best device made by Sony. One thing which I didn't find is water mark in camera section. It's a drawback. The third party apps regarding water marks are not working properly. Sony must add this feature in update.

Most reports for Xperias for years have commented on overheating issues, but this one is no where near what they used to be.

Bought mine second hand fairly cheap.
The hardware seems good, great screen, love having a notification LED still, and the 3.5mm headphone jack is so much better than having another device to charge.
BUT.....
The camera pro software only allows selfie shots in basic mode, the camera seems to give a very soft image when using telephoto, and it's only a 12MP sensor compared to the 20MP of my previous (Xperia XZ).
I also have the fingerprint issue, that only arose a few months into ownership. This is clearly software related as it occurred after a time and can be cleared (temporarily) but switching the device off a minute, but means Google pay cannot be used reliably.
In so many terms this feels like a downgrade from the XZ, only offset by the increased processor power and memory.

I've had it for one year, it was a good phone indeed and an excellent camera phone, but glad I've sold it as it seems that they've developed a lot of issues. I see lots of complaints about the green line on the screen and the faulty fingerprint sensor. To begin with, the FP sensor was never working right, It was always buggy. One update improved it, but still unreliable, finally I just disabled it, it was too annoying. I've got a couple of overheating messages but nothing too serious. I miss the camera of this phone, nothing comes close to it in terms of natural photos, so I'm sad that they've ruined telephoto in 5 IV and 5 V series.

An average looking phone.
This has a weird haptic feedback. Instead of vibration of device. Just the frame vibrates.
