Question Xperia 5 IV OLED manufacturer - Sony Xperia 5 IV

Is there any way to identify the manufacturer of the OLEDs used in Xperia 5 IV?
I'm asking because I previously upgraded from the 5 II due to the Green Line of Death. And now I'm reading reports the same is happening to the 5 III users after more or less 1-2 years of use. The issue seems to stem from using Samsung's OLED and I dread that this might happen again to the 5 IV down the line.
Thanks.

Worth buying SGS2 for 3-4 years?

So I decided to buy high-end class smartphone (SGS2) and what I really want from phone is its longevity. I know many of you change your phones every year when new model comes out, but I don't do that. My last phone was nokia 5210 So what I really want from phone is that it will remain awesome for 3-4+ years, especially I am talking about screen. I've read that amoled screens have burn-ins and degrades over time and that's the main thing which worries me most about this phone.
On the other hand, even though HTC Sensation is a little bit worse according to reviews, it has SLCD screen, which does not degrade over time and it should easily last over 3 years. Or maybe changing GS2's screen for a reasonable price is a viable option after a few years? Or maybe it won't degrade if I will try to avoid blue homescreens and static images on my GS2?
So SGS2 or HTC Sensation when buying for 3-4 years?
I think the sgs ii is the best one out there right now, so if you want to choose that one, i think its the correct option.
Just my opinion

I know it's pretty much the best smartphone right know, but that's not what I am asking. Most of users who buy such expensive smartphones won't use them for more than 1-2 years, but I want to buy smartphone for 3-4 years, that's why I am asking.

nah as you have said about the Amoled degrading over time, unless you can deal with black marks over the screen and lower visibility in sunlight
I have NEVER used any phone for over 2 years.
So for me if they last two years, it's great.
And lucky me we have 2 years warranty on equipment... and I have 2 years insurance on the phone.
Two years from now I will surely have another phone to replace the then more than ancient SGSII.
I think if you want to use a phone as a phone, like you did your Nokia, not capable of much except being a great phone, you should buy another dumb phone that will last 3-4 years.
BTW can I use the SGSII as a phone and actually call people with it? Wow... I will give it a go....

But only you can answer that your the one that will want to change .
or are you asking >>> will the phone last four years <<<the answer to that is yes .
jje
If you don't change phones too often, you might as well wait for Iphone 5 and buy it. They pretty much have a long life and they don't radically change things. I know it's kind of a blasphemy to recommend Iphone in an SII forum, but it's a good and solid phone out of the box. I bought the SII with the hope of keeping it for about 2 years at least.
I'm a SGS2 owner and it's a great phone but if you want a phone that will last for 3-4 years then i would definitely go for the HTC Sensation. HTC phones are generally robust and made from hard materials. The SGS2 is a light phone but it doesn't come without compromise. It's made from light plastic and the back cover doesn't feel like it'll even last for the 2 years i'll be using it.
I just recently upgraded to the S2 from my - ready for this?...... HTC TyTN!!!!
lol.
Only time will tell, we dont really know how long or how good the super amoled+ screen will last b/c the GSII was just released. Perhaps if you intend to keep the phone for so many years, it would be best advisable to weigh in the factors (pros, cons) of an LCD Vs. A Samoled+ display and make your own descision/judgement from there.
I can tell you from having had iphones for years (2+ years), which use LCD gorilla glass displays the screen quality never degrades. I cant tell you the same thing about my Galaxy SII's sAmoled+ display b/c I've only had it for a month
Samsung has just opened a new screen production factory. Their next phone will have a new type of SuperAmoled screen with much much higher pixel density. It'll probably make SGS2 look like Nokia 3210. If you're thinking really long term, you might want to wait for that.

I can already see ghosting icons on my SII after one month of use. If i pull down the notification bar, i can clearly see the shadow of the 4 default icons from my main screen for a couple of seconds. So i seriously doubt the screen will last for 4 years without noticeable flaws.

Its one of the compromises thats in SAMOLED Plus.
@OP
You may wish to consider a dumb phone instead if you want it to last more than 2yrs, Im honestly hoping the S2 can last me 1yr, my S1 didnt and I got the S2 11 months after i got the S1, I hope the S2 can last 8 months b4 the S3 comes out.
Do you know many people who have a phone that is 3-4 years old? Maybe a few that still have an original iPhone 3G - but they are incredibly uncommon.
Mobile phones are simply not designed to last that long.
I look at these amoleds as plasma tvs. Same things are said about plasma tv like ghosting and degrading. After a couple years with my 50+inch 1080p still looks great.
If your considering this for 4 years then you should factor in that parts will be alot cheaper if needed.
This is a good solid phone and unless something comes out bigger and faster ill be keeping mine for awhile.
**** you read on the interwebs should be taken with a grain of salt.

Question: if the amoled screen dies after a year or two, I can get it replaced right? but yea not like I stick with a phone for two years nowadays lol...usually it is within a year then switch.
Hi guys,
guess from what phone i upgraded! a 3 years (+?) old Nokia N95 till now, it works just fine! and i'm thinkin' of using my SGS2 just as long as i did with my N95
I would suggest you wait for the NOkia WP7.....
Nokia has been doing strong phones and wP7 is promising..
Forget Android cause you will just end up being a flash junkie with sleepless nights and cm7 nightlies and dream about Roms and firmwares.
SO YEAH WAIT AND GET A NOKIA WP7.. should be out is a couple of months

For your case, i would suggest iphone though i was never an apple fan. (Its my first time recommending iphone to anyone). If u really wan an android i would suggest u go HTC as user friendly-ness is much better. But u have to bear with the screen under sunlight

Thx for replays ^^
So accordiong to your advices it's not worth buying GS2 if I want it to last 3 years..
So it will not be possible to change bad display or what? And please don't suggest me iPhone which cost unreal money or low level phone just because I want a smartphone to last 3-4 years. Or maybe you think that if someone buys a phone for 100 euros it should last 5 years, but if you buy the most expensive phone for 550 euros you should change it after a year lol. At least for me that does not make any sense..

Galaxy S III... hardware/software quality

There are lots of people in this forum that have had past experiences with older Samsung models so I'd like to know their prediction on the quality the SGS3 might have when it comes out (hardware and software).
I've recently tested several HTC One X phones and it's painfully obvious that the handset is not ready to be sold yet. Many units from the first batches are having serious build problems (mainly creaking and several screen issues) and software bugs are fairly common. HTC have been quick to release two OTAs but more than one month after the release date, many serious problems have no solution yet: no multitasking, bad sectors on the phone storage resulting in people losing gigs of free space, quite bad video quality, defective GPS, etc.
Should we expect something similar from the Galaxy S3 during its first weeks in stores?
I have the OG epic 4g from sprint that I got almost 2 years ago on launch day, never used a screen protector or case and never had to have it replaced.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
I had the Galaxy SII ( i9100 and Tmobile USA version) plastic yes, solid and strongly built? Absolutely. No build quality issues, drop them a few times, NOT a single scratch, strong screens ( never used screen protectors except on the Gnexus). There's nothing to worry about but still you have to take good care of your phone.
I belive that Samsung made a hell of a job on butild and software quality.
Currently use galaxy mini and i droped him hundred of times and nothing is still works ony little scratch. And this S3 fellow is my next phone for sure.
Hardware wise expect it to scratch easil, pickup fingerprints. Software should be smooth no issue
I also have an OG Epic since close to launch day. My two years are so close to being up and I will definitely be waiting for the gs3. Like the others, my phone has been without a case or screen protector and not a scratch on it.

[Q] Buy Galaxy S III/One X Now, or wait?

Hey fellow members of XDA, I hope you're all well!
Anyway, I have a question relating to Android phones. Recently, I purchased a Nexus 7 - I was previously an iOS user, but, after using the Nexus 7 - I found Android was actually on par, if not better than, the iOS experience.
So, although my original plan was to purchase an iPhone 4S - I have decided against that notion - and instead I am planning to buy an Android phone, and possibly even a Windows Phone - once Windows Phone 8 is released.
I will be using the phone for mainly internet browsing, social networking, music, movies, gaming, and perhaps even reading at times - although I already have a Nexus 7 for those, you cannot really take it everywhere despite the size of it, and no 3G/4G severely hamper it's connectivity. By that I mean, you can hardly fit it in your pocket.
Currently, I am thinking about purchasing either the HTC One X - or the Samsung Galaxy S III. Both are great phones, and while HTC has the advantage of Tegra 3 - and a staggering 0.1 GHz faster processor - the Galaxy S III has SuperAMOLED Plus, and it also has expandable storage. Both, in my opinion, are equal to each other: neither are truly better than the other, comprehensively, in any factor. GSMArena notes that the SGS3 chipset, the Enyxos, is not as good as the Tegra 3 chipset present in the One X. Tegra 3 is certainly preferable, since Tegra 3 offers a great gaming experience with exclusive games, such as the recently released Horn.
The Windows Phone 7 phones available right now, to me, are underwhelming, but if rumours are anything to go by, WP8 seems intruging, and may even be a possible contender to the current smartphone superpowers.
The deals I have found, though, note that the HTC One X is cheaper, however, presumably because it was announced earlier.
I have found a HTC One X available for £325 - or alternatively, on contract, £18.50 a month.
The Galaxy S 3, however, costs £410 (T-Mobile), and contract @ £22.75. (For purchase, both devices are second hand, but in Mint condition - boxed, unscratched, no faults etc.)
I used moneysupermarket to find the cheapest contract deals, and CEX to find the cheapest second hand, but mint condition, devices.
However, with the announcement of the Galaxy Note 2 at IFA, as well as, to a lesser extent, the Sony Xperia T (I think Sony phones are sexy), I am deciding whether to hold of for a couple of months. The Galaxy Note 2 may, however, be too big? I've seen the Galaxy Note, and it's a mammoth of a 'phone.' (Currently Galaxy Note users, can you comfortably use a 5.3 inch screen? And would you be able to handle a 5.5 inch screen? How comfortable is it in the hand, and are there times where the size just becomes overwhelming?)
I now think it would not be a good idea to purchase a phone now, a time where the next Nexus phone, and the next iPhone, are due to be released.
While both are most likely out of my price range, (£350 recommended, but £400 absolute limit - doesn't include top-ups, and for monthly deals, £25-£28 monthly - doesn't include upfront payment) would you think it would be worthwhile to wait until the release of the next Android/iOS/WP8 flagship phones, or do you think that nothing major will happen? By major, I mean the S3 or One X become virtually redundant compared to the newly released phones. I have seen recently that HTC are preparing a WP8 device, and are also preparing another flagship phone, for example, while all of us know that the iPhone 5 will soon be released, and the Galaxy Nexus is already approaching it's one year birthday.
Thanks for the help! I will listen to all suggestions, and I am also open to other phones available in the market now, or possibly in the future.
Please, though, do NOT mention BlackBerry's! Or any WP7 phones, at the moment.
EDIT: Ok, after researching the specs for the Galaxy Note 2 - it is basically an enlarged SGS3 - although it has 1GB more RAM, and it's processor is clocked 0.2GHz higher. In that case, I wont specifically wait for the Note 2.

TL;DR but if you want to get the note II just because of the processor you can overclock the S3 all the way to 2.1 ghz but I recommend not anymore than 1.8/1.9. The S3 is a great phone I have it right now.
Also the One X has a much faster CPU if you look at quadrant scores. But really you get 60 fps on all games basically and butter smooth.
Oh yes, I forgot that you could overclock Android devices... Nonetheless, I doubt 0.1Ghz clock difference will provide a completely different, and better, experience.
Wait for the next Nexus.

HTC is a pain to s-off and you have to remove your void stickers and take apart your phone and use a wire to do it....its not fun and very easy to render your device unusable....gs3 is incredibly easy if you like customizing...get a gs3...

a lot of custom roms and kernels have different radios in them and if you cwm then root your HTC without s-off first then you will not be able to use your WiFi and your device will constantly try to turn it on and kill your battery....so you can unlock it then cwm then root but unless you take it apart first and s-off then it's pointless to Rom it. otherwise you will run into problems. a lot of roms say s-on is ok until you flash and realize your WiFi isn't working...so HTC will give you pain unless you know your device 100 percent inside and out....if you do it make sure you touch the right contacts with the wire at the right timing or you just ruin your phone....had that problem myself and went and bought a gs3 plug it into Odin and let Odin do the magic for you with out opening up your device just to completely unlock it (s-off) gs3 is the way to go....HTC has better processors but they have to turn down the clock because there batterys are horrible....if you want speed and battery life and the option to customize get a Samsung...

[Q] From Note 2 to Note 3

Hi Guys, currently I have the Note 2. do you recommend taking the Jump to the Note 3 or waiting for the new stuff?. If so, what advantages do I have?
Thanks..
if money is not a problem only then otherwise it's a no no,as I myself have used both and I think there is no major difference that will open your mouth( like from note to note 2)
my advice wait until next August maximum, as in note 3 there is not a groundbreaking tech ( same octa, same 3 th etc etc) ,now next year the tech to own will be OLED CURVED DISPLAY ( like in galaxy round or LG g flex ,but they are nwe so they're mostly like prototypes ) and that my friend ,will be Chuck Norris like thing,

No stay on the note 2.. As an addition I only say this cause of the Knox I The note 3.. If you are going to run stock then it doesn't matter and in that cause I would say yes. . Much faster better camera ability to move apps to sd slightly bigger screen.. But Knox is a real pain if you want to route and do things .
I have both and thought that the Note 3 was a waste of money. I no longer feel at way. I think the Note three is better in everyway. Looks good, feels good, Scover is very helpful. The software is better. The only thing I miss is text flow in the browser.

i think it's not a leap like note to note 2. note 2 to note 3 is like a large step. it's nice. i was going to wait for the other rumored note 3's like flex display and active versions but I can't help it. i had to get it. the specs and full hd display was too alluring.
I listed the pros and cons here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489871
Not worth the jump to me. Played with a Note 3 extensively and came away not so impressed compared to the Note 2. Would rather just wait for whatever official update is due the Note 2 (well the Sprint version) that brings to it some parity in terms of software features.
I find it interesting that so many people that say that the Note 3 is not worth the upgrade and won't do it are hanging around in a Note 3 forum... just saying.. LOL
I work at a company that has over 600 Note 2's issued to employees. In my opinion, the Note 3 is a good step above the Note 2. Maybe the Note 2 will get a software upgrade, but the hardware will not change. The Note 3 is faster, has more RAM, larger storage options, larger, higher resolution screen, etc.
If you're always waiting for the next best phone, you'll never get one. In today's world, technology is obsolete the day after it is delivered. That said, I recommend that you get your hands on a Note 3 at the Sprint store and compare how it performs to your current phone and make an educated decision based on your personal preferences.
Like most I'm incline to keep the Note 2. agree with the last post but in a couple of months something better may come up. don't get me wrong, I'm watching Swappa very close to see if there is a good price on a Note 3 but in the mean time I'm staying put....

then dual core was a another blast in 2011( LG 2x)
then quad core ( LG 4x)
this year nothing is like New except the camera in lumia 1020 and other android phones just a little bit more ram a little bit processor (2.5 etc) and more screen and resolution there is nothing groundbreaking tech this year at all that stands apart( hmmm LG g2 rear buttons may be a exception)
BUT NEXT YEAR 2014 it's the time of oleds and CURVED DISPLAYs baby,and that my friend will be a awesome thing to have...
if you have money go note 3 but if you have wise money wait for note 4
(talking specifically about android and note series may have left something to mention like finger scanner in i5s)

Xperia 5 II and Xperia 5 III

Now that the Xperia 5 III has been officially announced and the specs delivered, any thoughts on comparisons with the Xperia 5 II and the chances you'll want to upgrade?

Only noticeable hardware changes I see are Periscope camera 108mm and 4500mAh battery (and 5G in US with SD880). Other looks to be software changes which should be do-able on Xperia 5 II too but Sony will not add those looking at earlier pattern. Unless anything from above is must for you I don't think there is a reason to upgrade. At least I am not planning on upgrading this year as I am reasonably happy with 5 II
I agree the hardware changes do not make it an instant upgrade. But, it's good to see things moving in a good direction.
I agree and I'm eager to see actual samples from both the 1 III and 5 III. I thoroughly enjoy Photo Pro.
I decided to pull the trigger and upgrade. Main driver was the improved telephoto lens setup and the 5G capability on T-Mobile USA. I went from a P30 Pro to the 5 II, and the lower zoom level of the 5 II was on my few complaints. While the 5 III doesn't have quite the reach, the quality is better with brighter lens. And, I like the 70 and 105mm steps.
Handing and use is very similar to the 5 II as expected. Some people have commented the 5 III runs warmer, and I have experienced that. But, it's not something I would have noticed if I wasn't paying attention. The phone definitely runs a little snappier than the 5 II, also as expected.
Picture quality not from the telephoto lens is about the same so far. I'll need to take more pictures to get a fuller picture.
Thank you for your input. For a variety of reasons I'm still dithering. It helps that I'm running the updated Photopro but can you tell me the version your 5 III is running? I'm on 1.3.A.0.24.

Even though there are few improvements those are not enough to warrant $1000 upgrade. I am more than happy with my 5 II and don't plan on upgrading for at least another year.
And as Patrickt mentioned I too manually upgraded all Photo/Video related Apps and those seems to working fine.
Waiting for A12 to see if that upgrade brings something new but enjoying my 5 II very much!
Is 1.3.A.0.24 the latest version of Photo Pro that can be installed on the Xperia 5 II?
