Editorial report

Sony Xperia 5 IV 8 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet

The Sony Xperia 5 IV suits anyone looking for a compact, lightweight Android phone: it weighs 172 g and has a 6.1-inch OLED display. Its main trade-off is the rear main camera's 12 MP resolution, among the lowest of phones launched around the same time.

The display stands among the best of its time for pixel density, at 449 ppi; its 120 Hz refresh rate is typical. Hardware is better than most, with 8 GB of RAM and an AnTuTu result of 1,021,542. This version pairs 8 GB / 128 GB, and storage is expandable; the Xperia 5 IV is also sold with 256 GB.

The camera system overall is better than most. The rear main camera's f/1.7 aperture and the telephoto camera's 2.5x optical zoom are among the best of their time, although the 12 MP resolution is a clear limitation. The battery stands among the best, with 5,000 mAh capacity and 30 W charging. Connectivity is also among the best, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2 and USB 3.2.

With a NeoScore of 7.4, this is a strong fit for buyers who prioritize a compact design, a high-density display and a versatile camera setup, and can accept the low resolution of its rear main camera.
