The Sony Xperia 5 IV also features a triple camera setup for its rear camera, each built with its Alpha series Exmor RS mobile sensor. It features 12 megapixels of shooting capabilities, low-light photo, and video, as well as a 4K HDR 120fps recording on all lenses.

Sony's Smartphones

Sony's smartphone take has had a long list since its first debut in 2008. Back then, the device was still using the Windows Mobile OS until 2010, before migrating to the Android OS in 2010 up to the present. Fast forward to 2021, the company's latest Xperia 1 III and Xperia 5 III brought one of the most advanced variable telephoto lenses on the market.

The Xperia Pro, released in January 2021, is one of the earliest 5G smartphones in the United States, and it opened the market to give the country its next-level cellular data connection for the device. Still, despite the many competitors in the smartphone industry, Sony provides a powerful lineup of devices for all.

Now, its latest smartphone take is here, and Sony is giving the world what it needs for a device that is a significant need in the current time. The many features of the Xperia 5 IV provide the world with endless possibilities for the technology, with the company offering a significant camera that is one of the sought-after features on these devices.
