Earlier this year, Sony launched the flagship Xperia 1 IV. However, the company didn’t announce the anticipated Xperia 5 IV. Now, the Japanese conglomerate has scheduled a launch event on September 1 where it may finally launch the Sony Xperia 5 IV.
The event will take place on September 1 at 4 PM Japan time (3 AM EST). Moreover, it will be live-streamed on the official Sony Xperia YouTube channel, so interested folks can watch it from the comfort of their homes.
The company announced the Xperia event through a teaser posted on YouTube. Interestingly, Sony collaborated with artist Cat Burns who apparently shot and recorded her latest single “People Pleaser” on a new Xperia phone. However, she didn’t specify which Xperia Phone. We believe it’s the long-rumored Xperia 5 IV.
The teaser suggests that the upcoming Xperia smartphone will have a compact form factor. The device will likely have the same pocket-friendly design as other smartphones in the Xperia 5 series.
A recent FCC listing suggested that the Xperia 5 IV’s display will measure 153.5mm diagonally (roughly 6-inch). Moreover, it is listed to come equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB Type-C port.
The details about the device are still pretty short. It is expected to be powered by the latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Soc. But the possibility of an older Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor cannot be zeroed. In addition, it may feature a 120Hz OLED display, IP68 water resistance, a triple camera system, and dual stereo speakers.
The pricing and other details of the device are yet to be known. More details will definitely surface ahead of the launch. We’ll keep you posted.
