Render shows quirky Sony Xperia 1 IV


Sony may not sell many of them but it still makes phones. A new one will be released soon: the Xperia 1 IV. We don't know when, but we do know what it will look like.

Because thru Onleaks, we're getting an early glimpse into the future, specifically the Xperia 1 IV. And where almost every manufacturer makes bezel-less phones with punch-holes or notches for the selfie camera, Sony stubbornly sticks to screen bezels. It's nice to be quirky.

Looking at the overall design, Sony does follow the latest trends. We see a flat side with antenna lines that look similar to the latest iPhones. On the back, the 1 IV is very similar to its predecessor, the Xperia 1 III. The camera module, for example, again has a pill shape containing various cameras. On the renders we count 3; one less than before. We would like to hear more about this decision from Sony itself.

Xperia 1 IV specifications

In terms of specifications, the source thinks that the Xperia 1 Mark 4 knowns little real difference. For example, the screen still measures 6.5 inches, presumably still displaying a 4K resolution, with stereo speakers, a headphone port and a fingerprint scanner on the side.

Many details, for instance about the camera, the source does not know. The redeeming answer will follow when Sony officially announces it. When that will happen is still unknown.
