Sony‘s smartphone division has recently become active again as news surfaced last week that the company is working on the Xperia 5 IV smartphone. And now, renders of the Sony Xperia 1 IV have been revealed by a renowned tipster.
According to a GizNext report, tipster @OnLeaks has released the renders of Sony’s next-gen smartphone in the Xperia 1 lineup of devices.
According to these renders, the upcoming smartphone will feature a similar design language to the current Xperia 1 III with a flat edge, almost box-like design. The tipster reveals that the smartphone will have 164.7 x 70.8 x 8.3mm dimensions and a total thickness of 9.5mm including the camera bump.
The front of the device will feature a flat-screen 6.5-inch display which will have a punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera placed a bit left to the center. Coming to the back of the device, we can observe a triple camera setup which is said to feature one telescopic sensor. Information about the other two sensors remains under wraps. The camera module also houses an LED flash between the second and third cameras.
The bottom of the device packs a SIM card tray along with the USB Type-C port. The left edge of the Xperia 1 IV has been left smooth while the right edge houses the volume rocker, power, and a dedicated shutter key. It is worth noting that this time around, Sony might not provide the dedicated Google Assistant key which is present in its current-gen model. That aside, the smartphone appears to have a side-mounted fingerprint reader embedded in the power button.
The majority of specs and features of the smartphone are still not available yet, however, we are sure to see more leaks about the upcoming Sony Xperia 1 IV in the near future, so stay tuned.
