The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

The Xperia 1 IV combines an exceptionally sharp 4K OLED, strong connectivity and sturdy design, but 30W charging and Android 12 hold it back.

What is good

  • 6.5-inch 4K OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate
  • IP68 protection and 185g body deliver durable portability
  • 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 and USB-C 3.2

What is not

  • 30W charging is modest for a 5000 mAh battery
  • Android 12 leaves the software experience dated
  • 12 MP camera resolution is conservative for a premium phone

How the score breaks down
