The Sony Xperia 10 IV is official and it is here with us in the office. It’s next in line for review, but let’s unbox it in the meantime.
The Xperia 10 IV comes without a charger this year – you get a USB cable in a simple, more environmentally friendly box.
Sony has been very traditional with its phone versions. The latest phones from the Xperia 1 and 10 series clearly let their DNA shine through. They have 21: 9 displays, 3.5mm headphone jacks, and triple cameras. As such, the Xperia 10 IV is a chip from the old Xperia 10 III block. But that doesn’t make it bad, nor does it mean Sony hasn’t improved it.
There are a couple of major updates from the Xperia 10 III to IV. The Triluminos OLED display maintains the 6.0-inch diagonal and 2520x1080px resolution, but is brighter than before.
The screen is also covered with Gorilla Glass Victus. The body itself is all plastic and flatter this year. Sony managed to shave 1mm from each side which is pretty impressive given the increased battery capacity.
The camera setup, just like the display, is an improved version of that of the Xperia 10 III. You get the same 12MP wide-angle camera, 2x 8MP telephoto lens, and 8MP ultrawide, but the main camera is now optically stabilized. Sony has optimized Superior Auto mode for better results and there is AutoHDR. There is no 4K video recording, however, which was present on the Xperia 10 III.
The Xperia 10 IV alongside its predecessors
The chipset is the Snapdragon 695, which is a 6nm SoC, compared to the 8nm Snapdragon 690 in the Xperia 10 III. Coupled with the 10% increase in battery size to 5,000mAh, the Xperia 10 IV should last a little longer than its predecessor.
