Sony continues to build smartphones and integrate technologies that you won’t find with other manufacturers. Now it has been announced that Sony would like to top up again soon. A compact top smartphone is said to be in development, which should have already been presented.
Sony Xperia 5 IV is yet to come
Last year, Sony launched the Xperia 1 III and Xperia 5 III at the same time. At the beginning of May this year, only the Xperia 1 IV was available. Rumors quickly surfaced that Sony could no longer build a compact flagship smartphone. Actually located the Xperia 5 IV is probably still in development and will be presented a little later. It is quite possible that Sony would like to shorten the period between presentation and market launch. Otherwise there would be a few months in between and the smartphone would be forgotten. The Xperia 5 IV could be really interesting though.
That Sony Xperia 5 IV should therefore have a 6.1-inch display. It may not sound really compact at first, but Sony uses 21:9 panels. These are narrower but longer, so you can hold the smartphone more comfortably in your hand. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 should be used as the processor, which should be available with 8 or 12 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 GB of internal memory. The main camera on the back is said to consist of three 12 MP sensors. A 12 MP camera is also used on the front (source: sumahodigest)
One of the biggest criticisms of the Xperia 5 III was that the smartphone cannot be charged wirelessly. This feature is to be expected at such a high price. Exactly that should be possible with the Xperia 5 IV. The battery should have a capacity of 5,000 mAh, which would be 500 mAh more than the predecessor. Android 13 is the operating system.
The Sony Xperia 1 IV has already been presented:
When will the Sony Xperia 5 IV be released?
If Sony wants to launch the Xperia 5 IV directly with Android 13, then you have to expect autumn. The operating system is still under development, so it will take a few more weeks for the final version to be available. Only then should Sony introduce the Xperia 5 IV. Concrete details are currently missing.
