Sony seems set to make an Xperia 1 IV flagship smartphone announcement at a Could 11 occasion.
The Japanese tech tech big’s Xperia division has issued a tweet indicating that it’ll be making an “thrilling announcement” through its YouTube channel on Could 11, 2022, at 16:00 Japan time (9:00 CEST).
Whereas it isn’t talked about by title, it shouldn’t take a brilliant sleuth to determine that this “Large information” will likely be an announcement for the Sony Xperia 1 IV.
Final yr the Sony Xperia 1 III (pictured) was introduced in April, so you can say we’re overdue some official information on its follow-up. We wouldn’t name the Sony Xperia 1 IV late by any means, nevertheless, as its predecessor didn’t really hit the market till August.
Whereas it didn’t promote in any nice quantity (Sony’s high telephones are quite area of interest lately), we referred to as the Sony Xperia 1 III “probably the most fascinating telephones” of 2021. Its tall and boxy profile, ridiculously sharp (and notchless) 4K show, and Professional pictures focus helped it to face out from the Android flagship crowd.
Earlier ideas have recommended that the Sony Xperia 1 IV will likely be a giant enchancment over the Xperia 1 III, with new cameras, improved charging speeds, and an upgraded design. Naturally it’ll obtain a bump up in efficiency, too.
Aside from some pretty imprecise mentions and a few claimed renders (wanting so much just like the Xperia 1 III it needs to be mentioned), we haven’t heard an excessive amount of in regards to the Sony Xperia 1 IV. All of which makes this announcement all of the extra tantalising.
