Xperia 5 IV goes official with Sony’s powerful camera features
Sony officially announced its new “compact” smartphone – Xperia 5 IV at its recent product launch conference. Compared to the Xperia 1 IV, the new Xperia 5 IV has a slightly smaller size, lesser price, and features, however, there’s no compromise with all three camera sensors.
The all new Sony Xperia 5 IV introduces the company’s excellent Real-time Eye AF in all three (standard wide, ultrawide, and telephoto) cameras for better portraits and super-fast burst shooting speeds even with HDR enabled.

The device brings a 24mm-equivalent standard wide, 16mm-equivalent ultrawide, and 60mm-equivalent telephoto on the rear panel, each of 12MP. Talking about the pricing and availability, Sony’s new compact smartphone comes with a price tag of $999 and is scheduled to ship on October 27th.
Xperia 5 IV’s all three rear camera sensors are capable of 120 fps readout speeds to enable video recording at 4K / 120p. Not that all, but the image sensors can also shoot still photos at 20 fps with autofocus, auto exposure, and HDR enabled. Plus, the selfie camera also has a 12MP resolution.
El Deane Naude, spokesperson of Sony said
“It’s an intentional move to make those high readout speeds possible on all of its cameras and to maximize low light sensitivity with bigger pixels.”
Similar to the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the Sony Xperia is packed with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, a 5,000mAh battery, and an IP68 rating. On the other hand, the S22 Ultra is far ahead of the new Xperia phone with its monstrous 108MP primary sensor and two telephoto cameras, which makes it the most powerful camera smartphone in the market.

Samsung Home Launcher gets updated right before One UI 6 unveiling on October 4
It’s not possible for any smartphone maker to provide users with never-ending software support. With Android 13, various Galaxy devices ended major upgrade support, and the same case will happen with One UI 6 for some popular Samsung smartphones.
Preparation to deliver 2023’s Android version is already underway by Google. While Pixel users have started experiencing the Android 14 OS through the Beta Program, Samsung didn’t see that side. However, the company is running the One UI Beta Program, which started on August 10.

This year, popular Samsung flagships such as Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note 20 series won’t receive the One UI 6. Both lineups have finished their striking era of continuous software upgrades, still, an additional year of security patches is remaining.
Samsung has always remained the king of after-sales services to Galaxy consumers. Presently, the company provides up to four years of major OS upgrades, which will be extended further for the time being. It has also raised the bar of security updates to five years, letting consumers keep their phones longer.
Citing sadly, but don’t wait for One UI 6 on these Samsung smartphones:
- Galaxy S20
- Galaxy S20 Plus
- Galaxy S20 Ultra
- Galaxy S20 FE LTE/5G
- Galaxy Z Flip – LTE/5G
- Galaxy Note20
- Galaxy Note20 Ultra
- Galaxy Z Fold2 5G
Sizzling era ends at 5.1
Samsung delivered the One UI 5.1 upgrade to all flagship smartphones upgraded to the Android 13-based One UI 5.0. The new version means more new features, and there’s no exception with the One UI 5.1 software system.
Customization is at its peak level on the One UI 5.1 and the upgraded capabilities of Good Lock (and family) make you wow! Screenshots no longer collide with photos captured by the camera and creating a cutout of the object is as simple as copying a text!
