1st September 2022, Introducing Xperia 5 IV, a premium smartphone that can beautifully capture important moments. It has many of the powerful features found in the flagship Xperia, but in a compact design. Xperia 5 IV is the first Xperia 5 series smartphone that has Real-time Eye AF and Real-time tracking on all lenses for shooting perfect portrait images, 12MP front camera that enables great clear selfies and videos even in dark scenes, BRAVIA CORE for Xperia, wireless charging and battery share. With the latest chipset and powerful 5,000mAh battery, it keeps you creating impressive content and streaming or sharing them easily throughout the day.

Capture Moments like a Creator:

With technologies found in our flagship Xperia 1 IV smartphone and AlphaTMseries cameras such as Eye AF and Object Tracking, Xperia 5 IV incorporates them into a compact design to ensure you never miss that special moment. The 120fps read-out speed image sensors on all 3 lenses realise 4K 120fps (up to 5 times) slow motion record, so you can cinematise your life like never before. Videography Pro also lets you livestream your content direct to streaming services[ii]. For shooting video selfies and vlogs, the new front camera has an improved 12MP sensor that enables 4K HDR content with outstanding contrast grading, as well as the ability to take clear selfies in tricky settings such as high glare or dark environments. Paired with the Vlog Monitor (XQZ-IV01, sold separately) you can have a flawless vlogging setup for even more creative control to easily tell your story. Xperia 5 IV is also equipped with an external monitor function. By connecting a mirrorless camera (such as Alpha series cameras[iii]), you can directly deliver high-quality images taken with Alpha while monitoring with Xperia 5 IV[iv].

Since 93/RCA platinum selling, up and coming music sensation Cat Burns has just announced her upcoming single People Pleaser' and has collaborated with Sony Xperia on a music video, shot entirely on Xperia 5 IV. Utilising creativity options through the manual settings in Videography Pro, People Pleaser' has been brought to life through capturing fly on the wall candid footage. Eye AF and Object Tracking on Xperia 5 IV is phenomenal, there was a lot of movement in many of the scenes we shot and the Eye AF was always on point, Jomar A O-Meally, Lead Videographer. Creating content on Xperia 5 IV allows you to use your imagination, packing progressive technology into a compact device you can carry around allows everyday people to become filmmakers, Nathan James Tettey, Director. Whilst Music Pro was used to record an acapella of the chorus and was used in the video, Cat Burns praised its ease of use, being able to record great audio and upload it straight away without having to use a laptop is such a great feature and saves time in my hectic schedule! .

Shoot Perfect Portraits:

With Xperia 5 IV our technology from Alpha series cameras really helps make your portrait pictures pop. In addition to Real-time Eye AF, Xperia 5 IV newly supports Real-time Tracking which helps track and keeps focus even if your subject is on the move - so you can capture memorable moments full of energy and expression. This is enabled by depth analysis using AI. With features such as the dedicated camera button that instantly open the camera app, you have creation instantly ready at your fingertips.

Discover an Immersive Viewing Experience:

Viewing and experiencing content is improved on Xperia 5 IV with its stunning 6.1 21:9 FHD+ HDR OLED display which is up to 50% brighter than the previous 5 series. Plus Real Time HDR Drive[v] increases image quality by reproducing gradation of overexposed and underexposed areas and displays them smoothly. With these improvements, you can see your screen content clearly even in bright outdoor environments. You can also experience an immersive cinematic sound Dolby Atmos in collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment[vi] with the headphones or Full-stage stereo speakers.

Users of the BRAVIA CORE for Xperia[vii] app are able to choose from hundreds of Sony Pictures Entertainment's latest releases and classic blockbusters and enjoy them in high-quality on Xperia 5 IV's 21:9 wide display. Go behind the scenes with Studio Access, and experience IMAX Enhanced titles and immersive audio by DTS[viii], all included with BRAVIA CORE for Xperia.

Compact Yet Powerful, Supporting Creativity All Day Long:

With a 5,000mAh battery with adaptive charging allowing the battery life to be extended up to 3 years[ix], the Xperia 5 IV offers plenty of power. When you need to give your battery a boost, you can fast charge up to 50% in just 30 minutes with the charger XQZ-UC1.[x] Xperia 5 IV supports wireless charging[xi] as well as offering battery share function, so you can easily keep all your devices charged and ready to go.

Audio Tuned in Collaboration with Sony Music Entertainment:

Immerse yourself with high-resolution audio or Sony's 360 Reality Audio in the palm of your hand. Whether you prefer a wired or non-wired headphone, Xperia 5 IV gives you exceptional sound quality with its 3.5mm audio jack or wireless connection. By combining DSEE Ultimate
