The 2022 version of the premium flagship, the Xperia 1 IV, which is rumored to be officially announced by Sony in May.
The other day, benchmarks and case images were discovered, and their existence and release have become quite realistic.
On the other hand, there are still many unclear specifications about this Xperia 1 IV, and one of them is around the battery.
There are rumors that the battery capacity will be increased from the previous model’s 4500mAh to 5000mAh, but there is also information such as deferment and slight increase.
But this time around, aside from the specific battery capacity, we’ve got some interesting new information about how long the battery lasts.
A user on Reddit posted information from Weibo:
According to the verification by the test machine, the SOT (screen on time) of Xperia 1 IV is improved by 30% from Xperia 1 III. This is largely due to other new features, not just LTPO.
There have been rumors that the Xperia 1 IV will be equipped with an LTPO (low temperature polycrystalline oxide) display, and the sale of this display is power saving.
On the other hand, what is worrisome“Another new feature」。
Some time ago, there was a rumor that the Xperia 1 IV would allow you to manually adjust the display resolution, but is it related to this?
This information is only about screen on time, that is, when the screen is lit, and it is unknown how much the overall battery life including standby will be improved.
However, there is almost no doubt that one of the reasons why the Xperia 1 series of each generation is evaluated as having poor battery life is the 4K resolution display, and from that point of view, the significant improvement in SOT is the improvement in overall battery life. I think you can think of it as having the same meaning.
By the way, if the battery life of the Xperia 1 IV really increases by about 30% from the Xperia 1 III,GSMArenaIn the battery evaluation ofBattery life similar to Galaxy S22 UltraIn that.
Since the battery life of the Galaxy S22 Ultra is quite excellent, if the Xperia 1 IV also has the same battery life as the same model, it seems that it is enough to repay the stigma of the “poor battery life” Xperia 1 series.
