Compact phone lovers will rejoice because it’s a little shorter and narrower than last year’s Xperia 5 III which stood at 157mm and 68mm respectively. The screen diagonal of the Xperia 5 IV is 153.5 mm, exactly 6.04 inches, a little shorter than the 6.1-inch panel of the Xperia 5 III.

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