Sony has introduced its latest flagship smartphone, the XPERIA IV, which is specifically designed for content creators and mobile enthusiasts, as reported first by B&H Photo Video.
The new device boasts a range of enhancements in its camera, audio, and gaming capabilities.
XPERIA IV's Features
The XPERIA IV comes equipped with the next-generation Exmor T for mobile sensor, which elevates wide-angle imagery by improving low-light performance.
With an upgraded resolution of 48MP, compared to the previous 12MP, the smartphone's camera captures more light, resulting in superior night shooting capabilities. This enhancement is achieved through a unique 2-layer stacked design, allowing for increased light sensitivity.
In addition to hardware improvements, Sony has introduced several software features to enhance the photography and videography experience on the XPERIA IV.
Creative Look presets provide users with a selection of imaging styles, reducing the need for extensive post-processing and enabling seamless shooting-to-sharing workflows.
The S-Cinetone feature enhances videos captured with the XPERIA IV by providing accurate skin tone representation, giving a professional touch to the footage. Moreover, the device utilizes new AI processes to enhance the overall accuracy of both images and videos.
For users who prefer portrait-style shooting, the XPERIA IV introduces a fresh vertical user interface (UI) designed specifically for stills and videos.
Sony acknowledges the specific requirements of the vlogging community and has integrated two notable features into the XPERIA IV.
The Product Showcase feature automatically identifies items presented to the camera, ensuring precise focus without requiring manual adjustments. Additionally, the inclusion of a rear-facing Video Priority mic enhances audio capture by emphasizing the speaker's voice while minimizing background noise.
