Sony’s most powerful mobile
Sony has just announced the Sony Xperia 1 IV and it’s clearly built on the previous year’s model. The similarity between them is so great that they remain exactly the same dimensions (and almost the same weight): 165 x 71 x 8.2 millimeters and 185 grams. We return to the elongated aspect terminal, since the screen with an aspect ratio of 21:9 is retained.
Precisely on this screen there are few new features. Sony repeat panel 6.5 inch OLED 4K HDR and 120 Hz, with 240Hz touch response speed and Gorilla Glass Victus and nothing in between: the front camera is in the top bezel. The only difference from last year’s model is that the screen is 50% brighter.
As expected, the processor changes to include the most powerful Qualcomm of the moment: the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, accompanied by 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage that can be supported by a MicroSD card to have more storage. This power comes with new features for gamers, such as a function to reduce battery drain during intensive gaming sessions and Game Enhancer, to share your games in streaming.
Photography remains one of the main features of the Sony Xperia 1 IV, with a front camera that goes up to 12 megapixels and a triple rear camera in which all the sensors are 12 megapixels: the main, the wide angle and the new 85-125mm optical zoom telephoto lens. All lenses have real-time eye tracking and the camera relies on a 3D iToF sensor for focusing.
Sony has increased the battery of the Sony Xperia 1 up to 5000mAh capacitywith support for 30W fast charging and wireless charging, while retaining the headphone jack as part of the audiophile-oriented features, including support for 360 Reality Audio, DSEE Ultimate and the “pro” audio recording, from Music Pro.
