sorted bySony improved the cooling system a little bit on it comparing to 1 IV, and the 1080P screen makes the battery life becomes longer.
According to the feedback from a friend of mine, there is no overheat issue (which is common on 1 IV) on it.
So if you are wondering between 1 IV and 5 IV, I suggest you take the 5 IV.
No where in the description does it show that.
£309pm + £30 up front is what you need to pay.
Then you get £125 EXTRA on whatever you trade in AND a £400 Mastercard (edited)

I'd somehow managed to get the total cost at £894 (£288 for 3 months + £30 upfront cost), not checkout yet though
TCB might payout but would be a gamble as they say they have a 6 month validation period. No harm in trying i guess, but I wouldn't base your buying decision on it.
The staff weren't very aware of the deal (this was in Kingston) but we're more than happy to help.
I traded in a handset and received £125 off the price, plus the £30 up front cost was waived, plus I got £6 for the value of my old handset (I only got 20% of the value because it had screen burn).
Unless I have misunderstood, taking the contract on a three month basis isn't actually the best option because it could mean that by the time you receive the MasterCard with £400 credit, you may have already finished the contract and paid it all off. What you actually want to try and do is have a minimum of £400 left on the contract by the time the MasterCard arrives. So probably the best option is to take the contract for five or six months as apparently the MasterCard is issued after two or three months. So i went with five months.
The total cost for five months was £894. £125 of this was covered by the trade in meaning that I have five payments of £153.81. so I'll actually be paying £369 for the handset.
Great deal.
Only 8gb ram 👎 so Cold ❄️Winter for so expensive price . I voted hot my mistake thinking it was 16gb ram or 12gb ram model . I have 2 Android phones with 16gb ram . Memory makes hell lot of difference. This has top price but not top specs . They don't mention 8gb ram anywhere in this listing or on 02 website because people would not buy it if they mentioned.

OP, make it clear in the title thus can be under £500, otherwise you'll attract lots of frost. (edited)
Those who are looking will find it, which is why I posted, otherwise scrollers will vote cold.
It's just a method to get the phone at this effective price.
Posted a similar deal type for it 5 mins before this.

The small form for me is another thing i really like, its not heavy, its a great phone just got to get use to the way sony set things up (edited)
Can any recommend a good case and micro sd card?
I had no intention of moving away from the P20 Pro, but recently the battery isn't charging effectively and the cameras are shot. Good excuse as any.
You can either switch to the tariff, stay on it for 3 months and switch away if 5GB suits you.
Or order it, activate the SIM, forget about using it and cancel without penalty after 3 months upon recieving the prepaid mastercard. (edited)
Only then will O2 Recycle accept your order number as a promo code.
Really happy with it. Feels way more premium than my previous samsung phones (S10e and S20 FE) in terms of build quality, The haptics are brilliant too.
Currently have a Huawei P20 Pro which is working fine, battery gets pretty low by end of day and sometimes dies.
Is the Xperia 5 IV much of an upgrade? My main focus is camera (no pun intended) , but also like the IP rating.
I was looking at phones with 256GB storage, but as this has MicroSD slot it would be fine.
Interesrted in thoughts, comments etc..
Also, the battery life is supposedly very, very good in this.
do i need to buy a screen protector or does the sony come with it installed? (edited)
10.3 If you are obtaining credit for a Device purchased as part of an O2 Refresh tariff and you repay the credit in full early,
you can choose to continue paying for the relevant Airtime Services on a monthly basis under your current Pay Monthly
Mobile Agreement (if you have one), upgrade to a different airtime plan or leave the O2 network.
Combined with the O2 website saying you never pay early termination charges on O2 refresh airtime plans and the fact my airtime contract says it is a 30 day rolling contract, i'm 99.9% certain you can, as long as the device plan has been paid off in full. (edited)
