I have the 1 IV and I really like it except that it's prone to overheating when using advanced camera features. The V is said to have resolved the heating issue.
The catch is that Sony devices aren't usually subsidized by carriers, so you'd have to be willing to pay full price on Amazon et al.
There would also be an Xperia 5 V release upcoming as well which is a compact version of the flagship with a lower pricetag. The 5 IV had a 3.5mm jack so I would imagine the V will as well. https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_5_iv-11838.php
