I have updated my Xperia 5 to Android 11 (from Android 10, no factory reset or similar stuff) and no real issues. However, I didn't notice any real improvements, so I think more cautious users can afford to wait a bit with the update.

I have noticed the SD card is somewhat slower, not sure if it's related to the update though. If you have problems with the battery life, I recommend to disable the Digital Wellbeing app (I do recommend to disable it anyway, if you don't need it specifically, because it's just a battery hog mostly). I am pretty sure I did disable it after the update to Android 10, but it was enabled again after the update to 11, so the update may reenable it.

    Have received A11 update. Installed it on top of A10 without hard reset. Everything works good so far.

                          How is ruggedness on the 5? Shattered glass, dented body etc.

                              Have you ever tried listening this dynamic vibration thing with bt earphones like wf-1000xm3? This is superb. Bad side is that when i turn it off, then something is missing 😛

                                    but the price hasn't came down that much even after 5 II has been released.

                                      Does anyone know where I can purchase this phone new? I know it's a one year old model but I was wondering if there were any new ones still available to be purchased at a discounted price.
                                      Have they stopped manufacturing new Xperia 5's? How long ago did they stop? Are there any new one's still available for purchase?

                                      Thank you.

                                        Just got this phone for less than half of last year’s MSRP. Sure, it’s no longer the ‘flagship’. It’s still miles ahead of the four year old XZ I replaced. Super sleek deluxe build. Rock solid performance. Nifty size. Another great Sony phone.
