Sony is further expanding its Xperia series with a more compact (but still more powerful) new model.

The Xperia 5 IV, Sony's next offering in its flagship smartphone series, claims to retain many of the "premium features" found in other Xperia phones, but in a smaller package. According to Sony Electronics Vice President of Imaging Solutions, Yang Cheng, "The Xperia 5 IV is a powerful and compact tool that's perfect for anyone looking for top-of-the-line technology in a small, sleek form factor."
Looking at the specs, it certainly appears to be smaller at 6.1 x 2.6 x 0.3 inches, compared to something like the Xperia 1 IV, which measures 6.5 x 2.8 x 0.3 inches. The Xperia 5 IV also weighs a paltry (but in a good way considering this is a portable electronic device) 172 grams, or just over 6 ounces — about an ounce lighter than an iPhone 13 Pro. And it does all that while retaining a 6.1-inch FHD display.
The display can also handle 120Hz, with a 240Hz motion blur reduction, which Sony says "offers all the speed, performance and reliability needed for mobile gaming at the highest level." The display's touch scanning also manages 204Hz for more accurate input, movement and less worry about lag.
