Editorial report
Sony Xperia 1 IV 12 GB / 256 GB / Global / XQ-DQ54 technical sheet
The Sony Xperia 1 IV suits buyers looking for a high-end phone with a particularly sharp display and a versatile camera system. Its 6.5-inch OLED display reaches 643 ppi, among the highest pixel densities of phones launched around the same time. At 185 g, it weighs less than most phones from that period. The 21:9 aspect ratio and 120 Hz refresh rate round out the screen, although that refresh rate is typical for phones of its time.
Its AnTuTu result of 1,076,100 is among the highest of phones launched around the same time. One camera trade-off is resolution: 12 MP is among the lowest figures for phones of its time. By contrast, the f/1.7 aperture is among the best, and the telephoto camera provides 3.5x optical zoom, also among the highest. Video recording includes 4K at up to 120 fps, and optical image stabilization is listed for the relevant camera.
Connectivity is among the best of phones from its period, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC and USB 3.2. This version pairs 12 GB of RAM with 256 GB of expandable storage; the Xperia 1 IV is also sold in configurations up to 16 GB / 512 GB. Its 5,000 mAh battery supports 30 W wired charging and wireless charging. With a NeoScore of 7.4, it is best suited to buyers who value a high-density display, optical zoom and extensive connectivity.
