Most shows are output at Full HD (16:9) – and even that's heavily letterboxed here. With big, black bars on either side of your picture, very little of the screen is actually used when displaying it. If you're a fan of 4:3, retro content like emulators and old shows, you might fall out of love with the Xperia 1 IV's 21:9 screen. This showcases 10-bit colour, displays the BT.2020 colour space, and tunes HDR video to match your environment, taking ambient lighting into account so your movies always look rich in dynamic range. Sony is clearly positioning the Xperia 1 IV at content creators given its 'Creator' screen profile mode.

That includes the excellent iPhone 13 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. With its sky-high resolution of 3840 x 1644, the Xperia 1 IV squeezes 643 pixels in every inch of screen, besting every phone on the market when it comes to clarity. This is something most of the flagship competition pack in, including the Oppo Find X5 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus, and brings with it potential battery-saving benefits that Sony misses out on here. You can manually switch between 60Hz and 120Hz, but Sony doesn't support adaptive refresh rates – so the phone can't switch automatically. With its 120Hz refresh rate, menus and feeds float smoothly as you swipe across the Xperia's display. This really helps with screen visibility outdoors when using your phone in direct sunlight. With a 6.5-inch 4K HDR OLED display, smartphone screens just don't get sharper than that of the Sony Xperia 1 IV.ĭespite being almost identical to the Xperia 1 III's screen, Sony has upped the brightness this time around, so the Xperia 1 IV climbs up to 1000 nits when auto-brightness is active. A step too far? Not for me (and my drawer of USB-C cables), but possibly for others. They've all stopped shipping power bricks with their phones, but Sony is the first to also leave out a charging cable. There are three brands already taking similar action to Sony when it comes to packaging – Apple, Google and Samsung. Sony's phone boxes are also plastic-free, made entirely of paper and cardboard. With reduced packaging size, shipping volumes go down as too does Sony's carbon footprint – and that nugget of planet-saving good karma is passed onto Xperia owners. From an environmental point of view, this makes perfect sense.
There's no case, no cable, no power brick. In fact, Sony's dialled the Xperia 1 IV's box contents right back, so it consists of just the phone and some paperwork.
There's also Gorilla Glass Victus around the front and back, though unlike competition like the fast-charging Realme GT Neo 3 and Xiaomi 12 Pro, don't expect a case included in the box. Sony's the OG when it comes to splash-proofing phones, and the Xperia 1 IV can be submerged to 1.5m for up to 30 minutes thanks to its IP68 rating. At the same time, the Xperia is narrower than most phones, including the iPhone, so is more manageable in the hand than you might think. Towering above even the iPhone 13 Pro Max when standing next to it, the 1 IV's height makes reaching the top of the phone a stretch. Today's Xperia phones are tall thanks to their 21:9 aspect ratio screens, and the Xperia 1 IV is the tallest. It's not too slippery, so the phone sits well in hand, and the rounded corners nuzzle into the palm comfortably. This complements the matte metal frame well for a cohesive feel. This year Sony brings back the frosted finish, so the Xperia 1 IV matches the iPhone Pro line and Samsung Galaxy flagships when it comes to fending off fingerprints.
