Watch Sony Xperia 5 IV introduce itself in new promo videos

01 September 2022
The new petite flagship offers things many other phones don't - from a classic design to a 3.5mm jack, it even has a shutter key.

Funny calling an upper level midranger a flagship.
It does not have even latest CPU from Qualcomm.
It have laughlable 12 Mpix cameras. Even upcomming apple will offer 48 Mpix and that was company which had 8 and 12 Mpix for dozens of years.
Also calling a 50% charged battery in 30 minutes a flagship grade sounds very silly.
Even low end xiaomis charge their bateries a lot faster.
my old Moto X4 from 2017 was capable to charge much more than 50% in 30 minutes and thats 2017 phone.

    "I can be a hand warmer on cold days." Missed the most important feature of all.

      Anonymous, 03 Sep 2022I've seen Sony give away wf1000xm4 when they were new ... moreSame as Samsung who gives a Buds Pro when pre ordered S22u ... And I have already Buds Pro and also XM4 (Buds Pro have better mic to capt conversation audio but better ANC for music listening on the Sony), why wait for 'goodies' ? They need to drop the high price which is a clear non sense. Too pricey to attract real customer. And I'm was, in the past, a Sony 'Fan' 🤔 (Still am a bit, but not to the pint of purchasing a Sony phone since they are offering less much than other maker)

            Anonymous, 02 Sep 2022I cant compare 1/2.55" to 1/2.75" , but you guys ... moreThere's a difference between comparing sensors that belong in different classes and phone cameras that belong in the same grade (e.g. "Flagship", "High-end", "Upper midrange" etc).
            By your logic, you should be criticising this phone for having a tiny 1/3.4" sensor for the telephoto camera when other phones provide larger sensors often with a greater reach in magnification.

            You can put a smaller sensor on your flagship phone all you want, but you can still expect it to be pitted against offerings from other companies and considered to be lacking because of your deliberate choice of using such a sensor.

            For instance, OnePlus deserves criticism for using the relatively tiny JN1 on 10 Pro to replace the much superior IMX766. But that doesn't make JN1 an objectively "bad" sensor compared to its peers, such as IMX663.

              I suppose the person wanted instead rear 8 and 2MP like xiaomi 12T Pro that will be sold for over €800.

                Anonymous, 02 Sep 2022There is always gift, other charge more and offer nothingI don't need gift, I need a longer software support coming from Sony ... And a 'regular' price :P

                    Anonymous, 02 Sep 2022good must be the JN1 used on chinese phones. Sensor worse... moreeven worse, omnivision sensors (not all though) they produce so much noise compared to sony sensors

Of course there is some good (and some nice) but at 1049 EUR, it's a hefty price for the 'offering', again. Read the room, Sony 😜

                            Sensor worse than old imx363

                              The only "impressive" thing here is the price. Everything else is hugely outdated especialy cameras. Terrible phone.

                                100x more useful.

                                Curious if the device to be announced mid november is Pro 2 or Pro-i 2.
