Sony Xperia 2022 Releases

Sony fans were truly in for a treat, as 2022 saw the release of three different Xperia handsets. Here’s a recap on what was launched and when, and the cool features up for grabs on each top-of-the-line handset. 

Sony Xperia 1 IV

June saw the release of the state-of-the-art smartphone the Sony Xperia 1 IV. The tagline for this device is “speed is everything” and we genuinely believe this Xperia has lived up to this statement – the superfast Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset this device runs on is to credit for this. 

Let’s start off with the surface level but important stuff, the design of course! The Xperia IV follows a seamless flat edged and matte design, giving users that classic premium signature Sony look whilst giving also providing a stable grip – this device looks good and feels even better.

Aside from the design, another standout feature which brought some wow factor was this device’s bright  6.5-inch 4K HDR OLED display. This display pushes entertainment value to the max, by adding much-needed vibrancy and sharpness to visuals. Alternatively, if you’re a bit of a self-procalimed photographer, the Sony Xperia 1 IV has you covered in that region too, thanks to a feature-packed triple-lens camera system co-developed with the engineers behind the latest Alpha 1 series cameras.

Sony Xperia 10 IV 

The Sony Xperia 10 IV was another device which launched in June 2022 – with an affordable price tag, bright 6-inch display and super lightweight feel this Xperia didn’t fall flat either. 

The long-lasting battery and lightweight feel of the Xperia 10 IV are some of the most talked about features of this device as a whole. With a large capacity 5000mAh battery and the device only weighing 161g, this is said to be the world’s lightest 5G smartphone with a battery of this size. So go ahead and go on long days out, or indulge in a movie marathon, the battery of the Xperia 10 IV can last through it all. 

The audio quality behind this device is also worth shouting about. With authentic High-Resolution Audio and immersive 360 Reality Audio, users are in for a real treat. If music isn’t your thing and you mainly use your smartphone to snap photos instead, the Xperia 10 IV is decked out with a feature-packed triple-lens camera system. Some features you can enjoy are Optical Image Stablisation for blur-free photos and Super Resolution Zoom for super clear zoomed-in photos – what more could you want?
