Using a Diamond sword (8 hearts) with Sharpness III (+ 3.75 hearts) and using a Strength II potion (+260 % attack damage), my sword should be doing 30.55 hearts in damage, well above the limit for getting the Overkill achievement. Tried attacking chickens, sheeps and zombies, but no achievement. (Numbers based on current wiki numbers).
If based upon in-game numbers, it says that the Diamond sword with Sharpness III has an attack damage of 10, and still that Strength II gives +260%, which should add up to (at least) 26 attack damage. If that translates to half the hearts in damage, it should still do 13 hearts of damage, well above the requirements for the achievements.

Still broken as of 4/16/20. My Post:
"The Overkill trophy is not being awarded. I have combined a diamond sword with smite IV and a potion of strength 2, and kill all variety of mobs using jump crits with no luck. I then had a second player on split screen load in with no armor, and was able to kill them in a single hit so I know I'm able to do at least 10 hearts of damage, but the trophy has still not popped. On version 2.06 PS4"
Extra info: I am personally playing on base ps4 (not pro etc), downloaded straight from the ps store, both being on their most current update. I have double checked the settings and have no message of trophies being unobtainable from entering creative mode or anything like that. All other trophies have worked for me, although I have not yet entered the end or killed the enderdragon.
Ran into this tonight (4/23/2020) as well. I was running with a diamond sword with Smite V and Fire Aspect II, and using a Strength II potion. Killed multiple zombies and skeletons in a single hit (10 hearts)–no trophy. Two other trophies were awarded without issue during this play session, and later in the evening two more trophies popped without issue in the same world.
This is on a PS4 Pro running Bedrock Edition 1.14.60.

Cannot get it on my end either. It is the last achievement that I need for the platinum trophy and I have been trying to do this achievement for about 3 months now. Have a diamond Sword with Smite V and instakills zombies skeletons etc. and I also have a diamond axe with sharpness IV on it and when i hit against my other controller, it says that I am doing exactly 9 hearts of damage
This is the same with me too, I’ve been trying all sorts I saw that if you place a cactus behind a zombie then use smite 5 with a critical hit it might work however I tried this and nothing popped up still, I think this trophy is glitched as of the new update
I’ve also tried it on a player too no luck
Just chiming in here in case anyone else has this problem.
I managed to get the trophy using:
a diamond sword + sharpness 5
A level 2 strength potion
I also was jumping for crits.
Yes i can confirm, with a sharpness V diamond sword, a level 2 strength potion and a crit you can have the trophy. I just did it
Can confirm, slapped a fish with an Impaling V trident and it popped.
Before trying that I was using a bow with Power V, Punch II, and Flame
Note, that since writing this report I updated the wiki based upon the in-game numbers.And my changes got reverted, stating that 7 attack damage does indeed do 8 HP. Why/how ImakerB can see that is beyond my knowledge.
