Xperia 1 IV Specifications

The Xperia 1 IV has the same boxy form as the preceding smartphones in the Xperia 1 series. The Mark IV has a 6.5-inch 4K OLED panel with a resolution of 3840×1844 pixels, a refresh rate of 120Hz, and a touch sampling rate of 240Hz.

The Xperia 1 IV’s OLED panel offers 50% more brightness than the previous model, according to the report. Furthermore, the panel supports HDR playback and covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. The Xperia 1 IV, like every other Android flagship, comes with Gorilla Glass Victus protection.

Moreover, the device features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. The smartphone has an internal storage capacity of 256GB/512GB and 12GB of RAM. The Xperia 1 III’s battery has been improved to 5000mAh from 4500mAh. In addition to wireless charging and reverse wireless charging, it enables 30W wired fast charging. The phone runs an almost-stock version of Android 12. The device also has a fingerprint reader on the side, as well as IP68 water and dust resistance.

The Xperia 1 IV has a 3.5mm audio jack, which is uncommon these days, as well as full-range stereo speakers with an additional booster unit. Dolby Atmos, Hi-Res Audio, and 360 Reality Audio are all supported by the Mark IV.

The main focus of Sony’s latest smartphone is its rear camera array, which features a continuous zoom lens and, as expected, bears the ZEISS badge. A trio of 12MP sensors – a primary, telephoto, and ultrawide camera – are combined with a 3D Time of Flight sensor on the back.

Additionally, the primary and ultrawide cameras have Optical Image Stabilization, and all three sensors feature dual-pixel PDAF. The camera system can record 4k 120fps videos as well as HDR videos. The smartphone includes a 12MP camera on the front.
