Common Sony Xperia 5 II issues we check at inspection

  • Screen burn-in on OLED display. Ghost images from status bar, navigation buttons, or keyboard visible on OLED panels after extended use. The Xperia 5 II's OLED panel is susceptible to this over time.
  • Battery degradation below 80% health. Original battery showing <80% maximum capacity after 2+ years of use. This is typical for most phones of this age.
  • Microphone or speaker issues. Intermittent or complete failure of the main microphone or earpiece speaker, often due to dust ingress or component failure.
  • USB-C port damage/wear. Loose connection, charging issues, or data transfer problems due to wear and tear on the USB-C port, which is also used for audio.
  • Camera module issues. Specific camera lenses (e.g., ultrawide or telephoto) may develop focus problems, image artifacts, or stop working entirely.
  • Ghost touch or unresponsive screen areas. The OLED display may exhibit phantom touches or become unresponsive in certain areas, often related to digitizer issues.
