  Sony continues its weird naming structure for its flagship Xperia 1 series with the new Sony Xperia 1IV. This powerhouse of a smartphone is not just another flagship device too, but aimed directly at content creators with advanced photo and video capabilities with 4K 120 frames per second (fps) slow-motion video recording on all goals. While that's not all it's capable of, it also has advanced gaming capabilities and an immersive entertainment experience with a brighter HDR display and powerful audio features, all wrapped up in a compact, modern design.
  Offering the world's first true 85-125mm optical zoom lens
  120 fps high-speed readout image sensor for all three rear lenses so you never miss the moment.
  Cinematic video expression with true 4K 120fps, up to 5x slow motion video recording.
  Real-time Eye AF (AF) and 20fps AF/AE burst shooting in HDR on all three lenses, providing images with the richest color and contrast
  Live streaming with "Videography Pro" or "External Monitor" feature apps
  The 120Hz display delivers exceptionally smooth graphics performance and the high-speed 240Hz touch swipe rate puts gamers in full control of the action.
  "Game Enhancer" can be used to fine-tune image and audio settings and supports live streaming for real-time content sharing
  Approximately 50% brighter 4K 120Hz HDR 21:9 widescreen display and real-time HDR player
  Front-facing full-stage stereo speakers and high-quality sound recording with "Music Pro"
  Powerful 5000mAh long-lasting battery for extended use with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform

  Those looking to buy the new Sony Xperia 1 IV might be a little disappointed with the price though, as Sony has listed this all-new flagship at US$1,600. While it's true that there are plenty of phones here and very good specs on paper, $1600 is a bit too much to swallow considering the competition. Although Sony may be onto something as it is targeting a niche market, so it seems possible that there are buyers there.
  The Xperia 1 IV will be available on September 1, 2022 for approximately $1,600.00. It will be sold unlocked in black at various authorized Sony dealers across the United States. ? Purple will be available exclusively at www.electronics.sony.com. Pre-orders for the Xperia 1 IV and Style Cover with Stand will begin today, May 11, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. EDT.
