You could write a book with the number of details Sony sent me about the cameras on the Xperia 1 IV. The Xperia 1 IV has three rear cameras and a 3D iToF sensor used for focusing.

Next to the cameras, Music Pro could be the biggest new feature on the Xperia 1 IV. Sadly, the new app wasn't ready for me to try. Music Pro applies a combination of noise reduction, deReverb and studio mic simulations to remove the noise from the wind and make her voice sound more present and full. In a video from Sony, a singer on a windy beach records her vocal track with the Xperia 1 IV and the Music Pro app. One missing app is Sony's Music Pro app which can provide studio tuning for vocals.

The software isn't final and some features didn't work fully or were completely absent. Sony lent me a preproduction sample of the Xperia 1 IV. Sony Xperia 1 IV and the missing Music Pro app This lets you use the rear cameras to film yourself. The Xperia 1 IV works with Sony's shooting grip, remote control accessory and magnetic vlogging monitor. I wish Sony had offered to bundle the Xperia 1 IV with its shooting grip and remote controller and tiny magnetic vlogging monitor that lets you film yourself using the rear cameras.
Sony has a limited time deal where you can buy an Xperia 1 IV and get a free pair of Sony WF-1000XM4 true wireless earbuds, which have a $280 value. The Xperia 1 IV will be out in the US on Sept. But if you can afford it and you want a cutting-edge phone that's steeped in the intricate processes of photography and filmmaking, the Xperia 1 IV is waiting for you.

These include a headphone jack, a slot for expandable storage and an LED notification light on the front.įor most people, including me, the Xperia 1 IV will be too expensive.

Sticker shock aside, you get a phone that not only has a cutting edge zoom lens, but one with a 4K high-refresh rate display (which no other phone has aside from Sony), a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, a 5,000-mAh battery, Gorilla Glass Victus as well as Android features of yesteryear you won't find on most flagship phones.
Instead, with the Xperia 1 IV, Sony has carved out its own corner of the sandbox and it's building some impressive castles. The Tokyo-based company isn't looking to compete with mainstream phones such as the iPhone 13, Samsung Galaxy S22 or Google Pixel 6 Pro. The Xperia 1 IV represents an ideal that Sony's chased since 2019.

If you're a creative type, photographer, filmmaker, gamer or audiophile, Sony and its Xperia line of phones are after your heart, creativity and wallet.

And as innovative as the Xperia 1 III's dual-telephoto lens was, in use it didn't provide any real advantage over rivals such as the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which uses two separate telephoto cameras to achieve something similar. Last year's Xperia 1 III had a similar lens, but those tiny lens elements were restricted to one of two positions. Inside the svelte, understated body of the new Sony Xperia 1 IV is a telephoto camera lens with tiny elements that can freely move back and forth to zoom in and out.
