Sony is currently known for releasing three smartphones a year: Xperia 1, Xperia 10, and Xperia 5. The fourth generation (IV) of the former two models was announced a few months back. Now, as we are halfway through the year, the company may finally release the new iteration of the latter handset since it seems to have been certified by FCC.

An upcoming Sony smartphone has been spotted on FCC by Sumaho Digest (via NotebookCheck). This device is said to launch as Xperia 5 IV.

As per the listing, the phone’s display will measure 153.5mm diagonally, which roughly translates to 6-inch. Further, it will come equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB Type-C port.

Further, the handset will offer WiFi 6 and NFC with support for FeliCa for the Japanese market. Interestingly, it will also carry support for wireless charging. For the unaware, its predecessors were limited to wired charging.

Unfortunately, that’s all the information we have on the Sony Xperia 5 IV for now. It is not known whether the device will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip or Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC.

However, we can expect it to come with a 120Hz OLED display, IP68 water resistance, a triple camera system, and dual stereo speakers. The phone could be announced at the IFA trade show, which is scheduled for September 2 to 6.
