Driven by Xperia’s signature speed, the Xperia 1 IV delivers standout features for videographers, photographers and mobile gamers alike. Music fans benefit from Sony’s sound expertise, and movie fans will love its super-bright 4K HDR OLED display with super-smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Plus, future-proofed 5G, together with live streaming capability, lets you share videos and games at amazing speed, on-the-go.
Superior videos and stills
The Xperia 1 IV has a triple lens camera that can record 4K HDR 120fps on all lenses. It can capture photos at 20 frames-per-second burst with auto-exposure and auto-focus in HDR, and boasts an 85-125mm optical zoom.
Eye AutoFocus and Object tracking ensure your subject is always in sharp focus, while the Videography Pro feature offers manual controls for heightened creativity. Meanwhile the ability to live-stream means you can share content on-the-go.
Stunning screen for immersive viewing
Boasting a 4K HDR OLED 120Hz refresh rate display, the Xperia 1 IV offers a uniquely immersive viewing experience. It’s up to 50% brighter than the previous model, and, with no notches to interrupt your view on the 6.5" 21:9 wide display, you can lose yourself in your favourite movies and TV shows.
Pro-level gaming
Created in collaboration with elite eSports players, the Xperia 1 IV has been designed with one goal in mind: winning. Used as official gear on the pro gaming circuit, Xperia offers the speed, performance and reliability required for high-level mobile gaming.
Immersive audio
Experience Dolby Atmos sound tuned in collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment with full-stage stereo speakers, or, of course, your own wired or wireless headphones.
5G capability
The Xperia 1 IV’s future-proofed 5G modem will enable you to still use 4G, however depending on your network provider, you’ll experience incredible speeds and better quality streaming video, along with more reliable network connections when you’re in crowded places – especially during peak times.
What is RAM?
RAM (Random Access Memory) is different to the permanent storage provided by hard disk drives (HDD), solid state drives (SSD) or memory cards in your equipment. RAM is used by your device to temporarily store data to carry out everyday operations. The more RAM your machine has, the faster you can expect it to open and run programs.
This device has 12GB of RAM.
5,000 mAh battery
Thanks to housing a 5,000 mAh battery, this device provides plenty of power to last all day. And when you need a quick top-up, it’s capable of Fast Charge too (fast charger sold separately).
Great qualities
Unlocking is easy thanks to the phone’s fingerprint sensor – just one tap and away you go, whilst GPS will help guide you to your destinations. Additionally, the handy microSD slot offers storage upgrade options, meaning you don’t have to delete or move your favourite photos or videos.
What is SIM free?
You'll receive an unlocked device, so there’s no requirement to commit to any network, leaving you free to decide which SIM card / network to use. This gives you the opportunity to find the most suitable plan, whether that’s contract or pay-as-you-go, throughout the lifetime of the phone.
Top tip: as this mobile phone is supplied SIM free and unlocked, you have access to SIM only deals – these usually offer far better value for money – especially for all-important data plans.
You also have the option to add a foreign SIM card, so you can use this device overseas for less as well.
Additional information: manufacturers often update their Operating System (OS) software over the course of a device’s lifespan – this means that your product might ship with a more advanced OS than specified.
