Glad to see a 5000mah battery in there, I hope they have tamed the Snapdragon 8Gen1 somewhat.
Overall an awesome showing by Sony, this is a very well rounded device.



Yes. They actually listened to feedback and made lots of changes and upgrades besides those serious ones (this case its the charger not coming with package but for saving mother earth sake).

As for processor wise, I believe its not what they predicted it to be this heater and they likely signed the agreement early and unable to cancel / huge forfeit if cancelled and swapped to other processors. So we can just hope Sony do their best at taming this heater dragon. Otherwise I agree its really a very well rounded phone as you say.

Hasn’t this always been Sony’s approach? I guess whoever is fine with it won’t mind, it is a shame though. As long as they launch the phone with the latest OS update and security patches come in time.

I think this is the most complete phone yet and the purple one looks sweet.




definitely a sleeper sleek killer for 2022 year. The mIII is no slouch still.





Still the official OS & ROM support being only 2yrs before needing to goto ASOP route is disappointing. I think Sony could match Samsungs now official 4yr OS support but I believe it’s a tactic to protect their software IP.




don’t believe all the camera reviews you see online. Many are taking by video bloggers who’s skills are barely better than mine, which is to say abysmal!


Watch this video folks by Ollie Nilsson wildlife nature photographer: quite simply put “most impressive”

Outstanding and to see a real photographer explain a few of the manual controls makes it easy for me a complete under novice to understand.

Yeah, but as most of the manufacturers are giving 4 years updates and phones don't need to get replaced for 5 years.. Sony should also do it since they are taking premium and more over only fans like us will buy their phones.

Apparently 1 IV is not selling that well in China and that is so easy to understand. 1 IV is better than 1 III in every merrit but 1 IV should have been 1 III unforuntately. There is 0 (zero) real reason why 1 III couldn't have come with 120fps on all three modules. There is a 0 (zero) reason why it couldn't have done HDR burst in PP. There is 1 (one) reason why it couldn't have Video Pro on the launch day and that is PRO-I but it should have got the update with Video Pro.

Anyway Sony botched 1 IV by making it look exactly like 1 III instead of givign it some crazy color option like Gold or Red or XZ3 Burgundy to differentiate itself from 1 III in appereance at aleast.

Another 2 more great reviews. These do look legit.

dome typical YouTube reviewers complain about price. The best early previews non-production units are from cineographers or photographers whom do this for a living not just to sit for YouTube. One buys the IV either because you’ve got money as a tech fan or to make you money in your career.

I have to agree. The iterations are becoming smaller and smaller. To the average buyer, I doubt they'd see much difference between the 1 ii and the 1 iv, but it is quite easy to differentiate between the two with a completely new design.

Playing it too safe may backfire.
