It
has a 6.5-inch OLED display uses on
the front. The parameters of this screen have not been exposed, but considering
the configuration of previous generations, it is very likely to be a 4K
resolution OLED.
There
are three cameras on the back, and the design is similar to the previous
generation.
In
addition, OnLeaks broke the news that the dimensions of the Sony Xperia 1 IV
are 164.7 × 70.8 × 8.3mm, and the width is comparable to the 6.1-inch Samsung
Galaxy S22. It is believed that the one-handed operation should be the same as
the previous generation. Just as good.
It
is worth noting that the Sony Xperia 1 IV retains the 3.5mm headphone jack, and
the fingerprint recognition is also placed on the side like the previous Xperia
flagship, which is integrated with the power button.
The
specific specifications of the Sony Xperia 1 IV are still uncertain, but it may
be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 best flagship processor, and the three rear cameras may be a
combination of the wide-angle main cameras, telephoto, and ultra-wide-angle.
The camera supports OIS optical image stabilization.

Sony Xperia 1 IV Release Date and
Price
There
are no rumors about the release date of the Sony Xperia 1 IV yet, but since the
Sony Xperia 1 III was announced in April 2021, it could be announced in early
2022, perhaps April. That said, the Xperia 1 II and Xperia 1 were announced in
February of the year they were released, so it's possible that month as well.
However, every time the Sony Xperia 1 IV is
announced, the Xperia 1 III will not be released until the end of August, so
the waiting time for the release can be quite long. About 4 months after the
announcement, I will wait for the previous two. The model passed the
announcement and it took about three months to hit the market. We don't have
pricing information for the
Sony Xperia 1 IV yet, but the Sony Xperia 1
III is priced at $ 1,299.99 / £ 1,199 (about AU $ 2,200), so the next model
could be priced similarly. However, it is expected to be very expensive.
