My phone just broke suddenly. Thinking of buying a second hand Xperia 1 IV due to budget restriction. You guys think this is a good idea?

If you're going for used I'd recommend Xperia 1 III as IV upgrade minimal compared but you will still be paying for that price premium. X1III display already 120hz and camera with optical zoom.

Hmmm can't seem to find any used Xperia 1 III on sale right now. Will search harder. If cannot find any might settle for 1 IV instead

unless really need Xperia phone.. else other new midrange phone with warranty covered would be better for your case since budget is one of consideration..

not sure how much of 1 IV that u are looking for? 3k? but if u go with any other phone for temporary like Poco F5, 1.5k.. maybe u can come back with Xperia when budget is no longer a constraint for u..

btw, which phone u are using that broke suddenly?

My last phone was Asus ROG Phone 3. I was too careless with this phone (screen damage 2 times, water damage 1 time) so it only lasted 3 years.

I am looking for high refresh rate display, long battery life, and high quality camera. Having earphone jack and front facing speaker is a bonus. Xperia 1 series seem to tick all the boxes.

The second hand 1 IV was listed for 3.5K on Compasia which is doable for my current budget situation. One other option is for me to use my even older iPhone 6S Plus and save money till I can afford I V. The downside is I need to tahan with the abysmal battery and shattered screen which sucks so much.
