🤔, this is very nice. The pictures and video samples look great as well. Thanks for the video TK.

[@avenuePad]

Very interesting. The 5 IV is making me second guess my desire for the I IV; however, I think I want the bigger display. It's a lot of dollars for that extra display size, but you also get the telephoto. That said, where I was 100% getting the I IV, now I'm 85%. lol

[@Chemy.]

I am no creator and I have watched a couple of videos before commenting this, is like a lot the videos talk about the price point and the features aiming too much for creators, but i think with the right marketing and the issues reported about overheats this device is a mainstream device, mostly because everyone would like to capture better videos and pictures manually. Great video man, liked.

Lollllllll sorry but sometimes you fanboy are really thinking too much and without sense. I'm a Sony lover but come on! Sony has been using the similar half design wallpaper since years ago and it's clearly for the long 21:9 screen aspect ratio. What foldable is joke

I got this today used from Cex for £300 its in perfect brand new condition running on Android 14. Previous phone was the original Xperia 5 which i paid full price brand new. That still runs good. No problems with the phone so far. Main camera is slightly better and 120hz makes a difference. Have yet to fully test it out but all good so far. Pics deffo need editing in Snapseed or Lightroom to fully bring out the details in the picture.

The thermal engine sucks, there is no heat pipe, it gets hot easily and the main features turn off when the smartphone is hot. What's more, when you take pictures or play games outdoors in tropical countries, it's easy to overheat, the main feature is off. It's expensive but it's a problem, strangely all Xperia's are experiencing the same thing and no solution till now. Sad

Great review. It looks like it's a really nice phone but Im still going to get the 1 iv

[@JoeGillian0]

@@iikon01 they both have the same chip

[@avenuePad]

Me too. Where I live I have nowhere to go to actually pick up these phones to try out; however, I decided to cut out some cardboard in the dimensions of both the 5IV and the 1IV. (My OCD kicked in lol). The 5IV is just a little too narrow for my liking. I think I would have trouble texting, doing web searches, etc... The 1IV was only a few mm more narrow than my P30 Pro, but a few mm taller. I like the idea of a smaller phone, but in practice I don't think I'd like it as much. Saving a thousand dollars with the 5IV would be nice, though. 😄

I'm still leaning towards the 1 IV but I think this will be a better experience. The telephoto is definitely more to my liking. Great stuff TK. Glad your trip was a lot of fun.

[@Labios_Rotos]

1.- I refuse to buy a "premium" device that costs more than most flagships out there and doesn't come with a charger. The people that keep doing so are the problem, since the "eco-friendly" bs excuse falls apart very quickly due to the fact that buying a charger that the phone should include is going to be packed in a separate box, creating even more waste than if they had just included it in the original box. Don't get confused, this isn't a move to save the environment. Its a move to increase proft. 2.- There are plenty of devices that have shortcuts to the camera, even with the device locked.

From the previous review Xperia 1 IV on this channel and my experience with my device, I am quite skeptical about 5IV...not mentionning the price. Th S10 with Bixby button can launch camera app imstantly I don't really see how it s better than 5 III

[@madebybog]

5 II is better than 5 III +))

[@anecro]

That's the thing, this phone does things better in some areas but in others it's been handicapped. The 5 III has the superior telephoto camera, a chip that overheats the phone much less and it's hella cheaper now. The 5 IV may have better video capabilities, real time zoom between lenses, a brighter screen and a better selfie camera but its telephoto is weaker, it's much more expensive and the notorious 8 gen 1 chip makes it real difficult for it to function under stress for probably more than 5 minutes.

Dear Sony if you're reading this then please read this carefully. If you start developing your own OS and Chip, there is no stopping you. Yes, it might take time and money but you already have an abundant resource. You can have your own ecosystem and if there is any brand which can take on the apple's ecosystem then it can be none other than Sony. Sony owns more than Apple to create the best ecosystem. PlayStation, Music players, Bravia TV, Xperia Phones, Vaio Laptop(I know you only have 5% now) Earphones and headphones, Bluetooth speakers, Walkman, Also upcoming Cars Sony Honda Vision S, Digital watches. Why don't you understand Sony? People desperately looking for alternative from money hungry apple. And you can only do it. As said, it will take many years but as the famous quote goes, "Rome wasn't built in a day". Would love to see Sony Rising. Japanese brand can be trusted for..

[@anecro]

They aren't able to do that as long as they're staying out of competition. Because Sony is a juggernaut in all those other spaces they don't really care about competing with their smartphones, and in many ways that's a good thing. Their phone department is small even if very experienced professionals from other departments help out.

Thats the interesting question. Did Sony listen to its users and add a heatpipe or any hardware heat measurements to fix the issue we have on the 1 IV. If not and a smaller body that is a K.O. for te 5 IV. It will overheat probably quicker than the 1 IV after all the updates when recording videos.
