On the day of IFA 2022, Sony also brings new flagship mobile phones in the second half of the year as usual.As they said earlier in the warm-up Go compact, yes, this time the protagonist is the Xperia 5 IV.This year’s light flagship is similar in specifications to Xperia 1 IV The difference is quite large, so it is also worth noting.

Called the light flagship, the Xperia 5 IV is still powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip. It didn’t take the opportunity to replace it, and the memory specification is the ancestral 8GB RAM. However, the battery has been upgraded to the big brother, using a 5,000mAh high-capacity battery that supports 30W PD charging. With the 6.1” 21:9 FHD+ OLED screen still in use, I believe that the battery life can really reach the claimed one-day use, and at the same time, the wireless charging function is complemented, which can better meet the needs of different users.
The front and rear of the fuselage are upgraded to Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, which also has IP68 waterproof and dustproof specifications. Sony still retains the 3.5mm headphone jack for users who need to listen to high-quality music, or even use it to connect a wired microphone.

Not surprisingly, Sony continues to focus on the vlogger market, and the Xperia 5 IV can be used with the small screen and camera handle proposed earlier. This time, all the cameras of the Xperia 5 IV, that is, the rear triple camera and the front selfie camera are all 12MP. At the same time, the rear three cameras all support 120fps video recording, real-time Eye-AF, 20fps AE/AF HDR continuous shooting, etc., with powerful shooting performance.But the previous generationDual focal length telephotoIt’s gone, and I didn’t get the optical zoom camera of the Xperia 1 IV. Instead, I switched back to the traditional 16mm, 24mm, and 60mm triple fixed-focus camera combination, with 2.5x telephoto and digital zoom up to 7.5x. This approach not only controls costs, but also provides a clearer positioning for each product.
