INCREDIBLE 4K VISUALS
Sony have built the sleek 6.5 inch OLED Ultra HD display using their much-loved Triluminos TV technology. It features a 1644 x 3840 max resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and the screen is now 50% brighter than the previous model. OLED technology with Gorilla Glass Victus delivers incredibly rich, natural colours and deeper blacks. With 70% of all Netflix films made in 21:9, you're set up for great entertainment. The Xperia 1 IV is also ideal for using two apps at once side by side. So, you can see more, scroll less and multitask with ease.
QUAD-LENS CAMERA
If taking photos is your thing, you'll love the triple-lens camera at the back - there's a 12MP Dual Pixel main sensor in partnership with a 12MP telephoto lens, an 12MP ultra-wide lens and a depth sensor. Auto-focus and object tracking keep your images sharp. It's easy to capture a huge variety of shots - from expansive landscapes to expressive portraits. You can even shoot 4K video at 120fps. There's a 12MP snapper at the front for selfies too.
BUILT FOR SPEED
The high-speed connectivity of 5G also ensures access to the internet wherever you go. An upgrade to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor in combination with 12GB RAM and Android 12 ensure everything happens incredibly fast and smooth, including streaming and downloads. You also get a massive 256GB of internal storage.
LONG BATTERY LIFE
The battery now features a large 5000mAh capacity, giving you power you can rely on. It's also compatible with 30W Fast Charging, so you boost the battery to 50% in just 30 minutes. Boasting IP65/68 rating water resistance, it's ready for the weather too.

sorted byThe other thing I do not like about the software is it's pretty close to stock Android, but there are lots of apps you cannot remove and just have to disable them. There are workarounds to getting them off, but you have to go through that process every time there is an update. Plus there just isn't any custom software support for the phone because it isn't popular. Which is a shame because you'd think a phone with the 3.5mm jack and Micro SD slot would be the geek phone on XDA or whatever.
However because it is so close to stock Android, there are no features that you get on Samsung which I miss so much. Simple things like being able to hide the pill at the bottom which Google do not let you do for whatever reason.
He also said no removable battery... which phone nowadays comes with a removable battery? (edited)
I do notice that the phone bootloops sometimes (once every couple of weeks or so), and I have to faff around toggling Bluetooth and NFC and end up having to do a hard reboot before it will behave itself. I wonder if this is because of the thermal issues? It's not currently a big enough bother to warrant trying to replace it, but I wonder when it'll start to get annoying.
The pictures and videos it takes are great, no complaints in that department.
The touch sensitivity on the top part of the screen is sometimes iffy, but I think that's more because of the dodgy-seeming Amazon PUWATRIM screen protector I've put on it. (well not actually PUWATRIM, but a similar-named Alibaba dropship seller)
Bootloops every couple of weeks?
Hard reset to fix things?
Get in touch with Sony, use that warranty, and get that fixed, it's been years since Android has needed that kind of maintenance - sounds like a hardware issue, get it fixed sooner rather than later, imo
It's not something you can fix, and it'll get worse as time goes on
4K 120 Hz video across all lenses from 16-125mm.
True variable focal length between 85-125mm.
Unmatched eye, face and object tracking from alpha team.
Natural colour science and processing.
Alpha style camera controls.
Dedicated two-stage shutter button.
Super quick side mounted fingerprint scanner/power button.
4K 120 Hz 21:9 OLED panel for unmatched media playback and editing 4K 120 on the go (I thought 4k on a phone was overkill until I saw the difference).
Immersive front firing speakers that sound more like a portable speaker system than phone.
Then there's the 3.5mm jack, SD slot, game enhancer, near stock android.
Not a point and shoot, but never claimed to be either. If you like photos to look natural and realistic, more like a DSLR then this gets you closer than perhaps any other phone except the 1 V.

These are great prices for the hardware on offer.
I've swapped my Pixel 7 Pro for one and won't be going back.
Thanks
My only criticism of the phone is that the fingerprint reader being part of the power button is nothing like as good as the great big one that my Pixel 4a had on the back. Better location, easier to get it right, worked more easily.
It's also very fond of popping up a message telling me that I can turn off the option to detect accidental key presses but then if you do turn that off it complains that your pocket pressed a key.
Also, currently Sony appear to be running about a month behind with android updates so the current version for it is Android 13 April 1st update (Pixel 4a is on 5th May update) (edited)
I just want to point and shoot, have no time to faff around with exposure settings, gradient settings and a 1000 more settings in this phone.
Will the point and shoot in Auto mode photos good as the Pixel 7?
NO it won't give AUTO results the same as a Pixel 7 because the Google Pixel phones use computational photography. To use this Sony effectively you need to learn theoretical aspects of digital photography. It's not rocket science. If you don't have the time or inclination to learn how to use a camera properly just get a "One Size Fits All" Google Pixel which is a triumph of software over hardware. (edited)
I mean I dont take many pics. I do take some videos though.
I have kept my samsung note9 for ages but the battery is going downhill now.
I was aiming for an s22 ultra but maybe this would be a good upgrade?
Sony software like their cameras is very manual orientated
Sounds like either option is worth waiting for the refurbs, new is £524 with the code. (edited)
I've been testing this against my Pixel 7. The results from this are natural when using manual settings in the camera, video or cinema pro apps.
You can use this as a point and shoot, but don't expect Insitgram images, you'll need post production in something like Adobe Lightroom for those results.
Great price if you get one in good condition.
Anyone knows how to get this fixed under warranty?
