Xperia 5V

I think a lot of phone manufacturers use Samsung displays. Maybe only a certain batch is affected by the green line issue.

I think newer batches shouldn't have this issue?

Saw xperia 5iv (2 threads on reddit) have it. Finger crossed for xperia 5v.

My Xperia 5III has 3 lightsabers and after inset it aside and went back to my older Xperia 5II it now has 6 lines. I'm planning to make the jump to the 5V but I'm just afraid of quality issues like fingerprint sensor stop working suddenly or display issues again. I'm not worried about sending for repair works, but right now my 2 back up phones are already faulty, how like that.

That being said, is the Pixel 8 Pro a decent alternative? Or should I consider the 5IV? I don't fancy Samsung skin although their hardware seems reliable to me. Anyone care to provide their 2cents?

I guess I can strike getting a new 5IV off my considerations

Or get an Xperia 1v?
No reports of green lines, I'm seeing some being sold second hand on carousell for less than 5v's rrp

They discounted the price to $1569 while still giving the free gifts from the preorder, until end December

Strongly hints that fewer people than expected bought it

I think it could be also because the release date is so late, most people this year have already gotten the SD 8 Gen 2 models that they wanted.

So there is not much incentive to buy this phone which has a smaller screen and comes in only one colour.

Even at 1569 it's barely 300+ less than the 1 V.

Doesn't run hot like the 5iii, although the buttons feel more sunken in than the 5iii, which I didn't like

Haha pro and con. I also do not like the shutter button of my 5IV cos it does not have the rough texture like xperia 1v. That feeling make quite a big difference.
