The replacement phone I got having shutdown issue. Those who have replacement phone did you guys send it back to service center. If so what was done?

I think the shutdown thing has to do something with the processor.. I think xperia m5 needs to have sort of a cooling system or app..

i bought M5 dual three weeks ago while i was on vacation outside, i connected my device to PC and the Sony PC Companion prompt me for update,the device came with Android 5.0 the update was to 5.1.1 So the PC Companion completed downloading and asked me to connect my device,i did,it started to upload the update,then a message popup saying that an error occured,would you like to try again,i clicked yes,it started again and when reach the middle of the update,my device turned off and since then my device turned to a dead phone,it does not work anymore,it can not turn on the device.i paid $450 for using this device for two days only.i tried every suggestion in the internet,nothing works.
There is no Sony Dealer in my country,so i can not send it to them,also i bought the device from outside my country and i can not travel there just to repair it.I went to good repair centre here to fix it,but it did not work,even they tried to fix it via Flash&boot Box,the device is completely dead. the Only thing is working is the charging light and it is always red even the battery is full.For three weeks till this moment am looking for somebody travelling to bring it to Sony dealler to fix it,but from the problems i have read here,it seems that this device is a defect but nobody from Sony want to admit it.Am A sony fan,this is the first time face such issue.At the moment am using Z1,i have this device for more than 18 months,it is working perfectly.But this M5,i think there is something wrong with it.
Sony has to do something regarding these issues otherwise we will go for another brand.

16 gb internal memory is not enought. 7-8 gb memory will occupied by Android OS itself. Beside that 4k video will take more space.

I sent for repair at Sony service center.
They changed to new mainboard. The problem of random shutdown is gone for two days. I am in Thailand.
