Max Ray, 27 Apr 2020What version of the phone do you have? A lot of people complain about the fps. I am tempted ... moreThe FPS issue has been completely fixed for me with Android 10. The fingerprint scanner is not great indeed, though not unusable too. When it starts to not work well, registering the finger again helps for me. Note that I bought the really early ones maybe the issue is fixed in the most recent units

    All together great performance only the battery last just 4 hours on screen time which is horrible. Waiting for Sony to release another phone with better battery life.

I am tempted ... moreI have the J9210 version I have seen on some forum for xperia 5 that it is recomended to scan your finger by sliding it across scanner not just by touching it, and also to scan it 3 times (same finger). Ever since I have done that it pretty much unlocks every time.

The behavior of the fps did not change since I upgraded to Android 10. I am using the official leather book cover and when I am opening the case I am using the fps to unlock the phone. It works almost every time, but to be honest it fails if the finger is sweaty (for example, while training in the gym).

It is the eternal problem of wifi connectivity ! It all depends on your network then your router performance your location and your cp modem ! The only way to solve this would be to live near a cell site tower ! If not just off your unit and your wifi router and then on again or reset your wifi connection or go to complain to your network !

                                    Great phone. Super fast, slim and efficient. Only thing I am concerned is the battery drains 10% overnight on stand by mode VS 2 years old xz premium 4% overnight.

                                      @Chris.T. I used to have 8hrs of screen time, now I get 10 hours + 20% battery left.
