Design and Display
Starting with the design, the Sony Xperia 5 IV doesn’t provide any significant differences. The phone retains its customary rounded corners and slim rectangular shape. Given the current trend of other businesses phasing away headphone connections, the fact that it will include a 3.5mm connector is a welcome surprise.
The hardware will employ Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. This is an upgrade over the Gorilla Glass 6 used in the gadget from last year to increase durability. Additionally, it will feature an IP65/IP68 grade for water and dust protection. Sony said other manufacturers test for IP68, but it checks for both. This is why the phone has two classifications.
The 6.1-inch display on the Xperia 5 IV will have a 21:9 aspect ratio, remaining unchanged from the previous model. Like the Sony Xperia 5 III, the show will include a 120Hz refresh rate and an OLED screen.
Sony asserts that the display will be 50% brighter than the previous year’s. It features an FHD+ resolution, and a real-time HDR drive enhances image quality.

To improve the clarity of the device’s music, Sony created new speakers in an enclosure that reduces unwanted vibration. Two speakers will be placed front and centre to provide a stereo system for the stage.
The device will also integrate Dolby Atmos and 360 Reality Audio Upmix to improve the audio. It will result in high-quality sound and an immersive 3D audio experience.
