Along with the Xperia 1 IV, Japan-based Sony also launched a new fourth-generation mid-range smartphone, dubbed Sony Xperia 10 IV. While the design of the device remains the same as its predecessor, it does come with improved internals.
The newly launched smartphone is being touted as the world’s lightest 5G smartphone available in the market. The phone, priced at €499, will go on sale from next month in four color options — Black, White, Mint, and Lavender.
The Sony Xperia 10 IV features a 6-inch OLED display with a Full HD+ screen resolution and a 21:9 aspect ratio. It offers a brighter Triluminous panel which the company claims is 50 percent brighter than its predecessor. It also has Gorilla Glass Victus for protection.
Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chipset, an upgrade compared to the Snapdragon 690 found in its predecessor. This new processor is manufactured using a 6nm process. It packs 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
In the camera department, the smartphone features a 12-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and an 8-megapixel 2x telephoto lens. It comes with features like tweaked Superior Auto mode, Auto HDR, a dedicated Night mode, and more. On the front side, there’s an 8-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling.
Other features on the device include a 3.5mm headphone jack, LDAC support, 360 Audio, and a 360 Reality Audio Upmix to transform stereo into surround sound. The phone is also IP68 rated to make it water and dust-resistant.
It runs the latest Android 12 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own custom user interface on top. The phone is powered by a 5,000mAh battery and comes with 30W fast charging. Similar to several devices launched recently, this one too doesn’t come with a charger in the box.
