Notes:

Some earlier Xperia 5 II and Xperia 5 III devices had particularly bad "Lightsaber" issues. The OLED screen would fail with a permanent line, this is due to them using Samsung display panels, which had a design flaw with the ribbon connector. The only solution is to replace the OLED panel. Heat may exacerbate how fast the device gets the OLED line of death.
Japanese models have major compatibility issues with US cellular networks, but will work partially on T-Mobile USA, however some features like VoLTE do not work out of the box. To enable VoLTE, you will need to re-flash with Xperia Companion. 5G is also not supported on any variant in the US. Tested with SOG02 variant
The UART Port is located in the SD Card Slot. Do NOT use 3.3v or 5v, it is strictly 1.8v TTL. Using 3.3v or higher will permanently damage the device.
5G NR is only supported by Global and Asia variants, will not function at all in the United States
While the device has those 4G LTE bands, not all of them are available everywhere. Notably, the SOG02 has a very limited band selection, on T-Mobile US, it can only use Band 4 AWS-1. This leads to extremely poor connectivity, sometimes to the point that you cannot connect at all.
Hotspot on most models can do 5GHz, but on the Japanese models weirdly, they are limited to 2.4GHz only.
Only Japanese variants have NFC-F/Osaifu-Keitai/FeliCa because this is a hardware feature, which isn't included on non Japanese variants.
The fingerprint scanner on some Xperia variants, particularly the 1/5 II, 1 III/5III are prone to failure.
The amplifier used for the headphone jack in the 1 and 5 II is considered weak, which can result in low volume for some IEMs and earbuds, fixed in the 1 III and 5 III
