After making the Xperia 1 IV official, Sony has made the smaller 5 IV official as well. Aside from expected upgrades like a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor and a brighter OLED display, the Xperia 5 IV gets a bigger 5000mAh battery—a feat for a small phone—along with support for wireless charging.
The rear cameras are almost the same as their predecessor, though the telephoto camera now only has 2.5x optical zoom. The selfie camera gets an upgrade, borrowing the 12-megapixel sensor used on the Xperia 1 IV.
With those upgrades, Sony did a great job in retaining the headphone jack and still providing a MicroSD card slot on the Xperia 5 IV. The catch, however, is that you don’t get a charger or cable out of the box.
