Compact phone lovers will rejoice as that’s a tad shorter and narrower than last year’s Xperia 5 III which stood at 157mm and 68mm respectively. The screen diagonal on the Xperia 5 IV is listed at 153.5mm which is exactly 6.04-inches - a tad shorter than the Xperia 5 III's 6.1-inch panel.

Past rumors suggest Xperia 5 IV will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. It's expected to recycle the Xperia 5 III's camera setup - meaning a 12 MP (IMX557) main sensor, a 12MP IMX663 telephoto module and a 12MP (IMX363) ultrawide snapper.
