Xperia 1 IV officially launched with extremely good camera-Hi-tech Fashion

Sony has just announced the flagship smartphone Xperia 1 IV with a telephoto lens capable of continuous optical zoom thanks to a new design.

Although not the most popular Android smartphone manufacturer today, its products Sony always get attention, and Xperia 1 IV is no exception. Sony’s latest high-end product has brought some small but significant changes when compared to last year’s Xperia 1 III.

Accordingly, the Xperia 1 IV still offers a 3.5mm headphone jack and a 4K OLED screen, and a camera system with a “true optical zoom lens” that works in the 85-125mm range. Of course, this product of Sony is not cheap, up to $ 1,600 when shipped in the next few months.

While most smartphone manufacturers today aim to increase the number of megapixels on the product’s camera, Sony continues to stick with a trio of 12 MP sensors on the back. Instead, Sony focuses on upgrading what the sensor can do.

First, the sensors are capable of capturing true 4K 120fps video from all sensors, and optical zoom is no longer limited to just two focal lengths as in the Xperia 1 III. Users can now smoothly adjust from 85mm to 125mm without performing digital cropping. The company is also talking about 20fps continuous shooting and AI subject detection on the Xperia 1 IV’s camera system.

The Xperia 1 IV features a 21:9 4K OLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate for a smooth experience, while a 240 Hz touch sampling rate elevates the gaming experience. Not stopping there, the phone also comes with its own gaming feature called Game Enhancer that will help optimize game play. The phone also has a low gamma boost, audio EQ, and YouTube live streaming integration. If the user has a compatible Sony Alpha camera, the Xperia 1 IV can act as an external secondary display.

In addition, Xperia 1 IV also integrates Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, 12 GB RAM, 512 GB internal memory that can be expanded via microSD card slot, IP68 waterproof support and especially a headphone jack. The product has a 5,000 mAh battery that supports 30W fast charging that can charge from 0-50% in just half an hour.

At a time when most smartphones offer much of the same, Sony is still going its own way. It is the way to focus on the outstanding features of the product instead of bringing in as many new features as possible.

More importantly, Sony still offers high prices for its phones, where Xperia 1 IV will be available from September 1, 2022 for $ 1,600 (VND 36.89 million), with color options. Black or Purple.
