Wami, 26 Feb 2024Yes I have Updated my Xperia 5V and minor improvement on Ca... moreI can confirm this.
When using Stamina mode on my 5V, the bluetooth will not work properly. My hearing aid device and app will not connect in a correct way.
And it doesn't help turning Stamina off and/or toggle flightmode off/on - I have to reboot the phone.
I think this is a Android 14 "handshake" issue, not necessarily Sony issue, as other user reports the same (Samsung, Nothing, Google).

Using Stamina makes bluetooth unstable on by device and I have to reboot the phone to make blutetooth working properly again (hearing aid etc). It is not sufficient to just turn off/on flightmode or bluetooth itself.

Azu10157, 27 Feb 2024There is nothing confusing about this naming scheme. I like it.This is most likely the last 1/5/10 series either this or the vi series a lot of rumours say their changing the naming (again) plus they never went above 5 generations for a series in the past.

Has anyone updated to the new system update Ver 67.1.A.2.208? Please share your views if there are any improvements to the bugs, lags from the existing version of Android 14.

I have been using this phone for 1 month after researching aroud compact phones.
* Zenfone (-Medicore Camera for Price )
* Pixel 8 (+ best point and shoot camera, software, OS / - exnyos releated modem & battery issues, no 3.5 jack, no sdcard )
* S23/24 (- unstable 'punchy' cameras , bad battery life , stupid UI , No 3.5 jack No SDCard / + good design on hand )
Now, Xperia 5V is Stellar option expecting a little taller design but narrow sides compensates it, you need place your small finger on charging port to stretch thumbs to above of screen. Still usable on one hand.
Pros :
+ Flagship Sd8gen2 Chipset ( even Sd8gen3 not big deal)
+ Best Camera Hardware , Manual Softwares , True to life colors , 4k 120 video supports HLG, SDR and Cinetone. Every Video Captured with it own CinemaPro app looks like a movie. It allows to change focus manually while recording. Dedicated 48mm lens gives you natural portrait depth of field. Auto Mode does good job on many situations for point and shoot lovers
+ SD Card good for extend memory or backup files if phone accidentally damaged
+ 3.5mm jack allows headphones and microphones
+ OLED screen has a deep black color and accurate colors to work on Color Grading
+ Good Front Camera & Design, Full Screen
+ Loud and Clear Stereo Speakers on up and down sides
+ Battery Life is Amazing , constant 24h avarage use without gaming and 13-14h SOT on stamina mode & 60hz ( 3-4h less while 120hz )
+ I haven't experienced thermal throttling even recording 4k 120 videos , Screen rainbow effect and Fingerprint reader issues
Cons:
- Buggy O.S animations sometimes
- Screen would be bright than default ~800nits
- HDR lacking on Photos against harsh lights especially when taking bokeh mode and there is no way to fix it unless change your direction (another shooting options can handle lights except Bokeh), but with manual settings, you can shoot best photos

People have to strech, no matter the lame aspect ranting...
Personally, aint got no such problems, as the saying goes: "your thumb is as long as your d... is".
