We are testing the Sony Xperia 1 IV with a unique telephoto lens and a magnificent 4K display – First impressions | mobilenet.cz | TechBuzz

Sony has been supplying us for several years with top-of-the-line 1 models, which boast a 4K display panel, variable photo equipment and a unique look. However, the brand new Sony Xperia 1 IV, which has arrived at our editorial office, moves everything mentioned even a class higher. What are our first impressions?

Familiar shapes and improved haptics

The Sony Xperia 1 IV remains true to the design of its predecessors, which features an elongated body (due to the 21: 9 aspect ratio display) and the presence of a dedicated camera button or 3.5mm jack. There is still a cover of the SIM slot, into which a memory card can be inserted, which gives the Xperia 1 IV additional plus points. What’s new, on the other hand, is a haptic that has undergone significant improvement. Although the vibration response is very difficult to describe, it seems “safer” and also more premium.

I also consider the purple color design with a matte finish to be very successful, thanks to which it is practically impossible to leave prints on the back of the phone. In conclusion, I would like to add that there are no two certifications of increased resistance IP68 and IP65.

4K display, higher brightness

Immediately after turning on the phone, I also noticed a significantly higher brightness of the 4K display, the manufacturer specifically states up to 50% higher value of maximum luminosity. This is a very pleasant (and above all) practical innovation, as users can now enjoy not only a 4K display panel without cutouts or a maximum 120Hz refresh rate, but also top readability in direct sunlight. In the frames at the top and bottom of the display, there are then improved loud speakers, which play well at the highest volume and do not lack a solid bass component.

Optical zoom in the range of 85 to 125 mm

Sony has introduced a unique telephoto lens on the Xperia 1 IV, which mediates optical zoom in the entire range between 85 and 125mm focal length (the previous generation and other phones are digital zoom). This is the first type of this zoom for smartphones. In the photo application, this range is then indicated by an elongated button labeled 3.5 × and 5.2 × (zoom level, as the focus equivalent).
