The main highlight is its photography capabilities which feature a triple 12MP camera setup. It gets a 12MP 24mm main camera that uses a 1/1.7″ sensor, a 12MP 16mm ultra-wide-angle camera with a 1/2.5″ sensor, and a 12MP 85-125mm telephoto zoom lens that offers true 3.5-5x optical magnification on a 1/3.5″ sensor. All three cameras get ZEISS T* coating for reduced reflections.
As you would expect from a flagship Xperia smartphone, it supports Sony’s optical SteadyShot, eye autofocus, real-time tracking and 4K video recording at 120fps. For selfies, it gets a 12MP front camera which is an upgrade from 8MP on the previous mark III model.
Sony has also retained front-facing stereo speakers and the device still comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack which is extremely rare for 2022 flagships. Similar to its predecessor, there’s also IP68-rated dust and water resistance.
Powering the device is a larger 5,000mAh battery which supports 30W fast charging via USB-C as well as Qi wireless charging. With a compatible fast-wired charger, you can get a 50% charge in 30 minutes. Like most green packaging initiatives, Sony has excluded the charger from the box of the Xperia 1 IV.
