That's right, we have the Xperia 1 IV released by Sony yesterday. This episode is very exciting. Bonnie also brought as many actual measurements as possible for your reference! I hope everyone is happy , then let's start. Let 's look at the appearance first. The Xperia 1 IV of this generation still inherits the family design ID from the Xperia 1 II, but there are actually a few changes in the appearance design. First of all It is the matte glass that has been retained, but the Xperia 1 IV has changed from the relatively rounded right-angle edge of the Xperia 1 III to a flatter stepped edge on the middle frame. Although the front and rear generations are very similar in feel , the stepped edge The design also makes the overall feel of the Xperia 1 IV more obvious. It is recommended to put a shell on it. The second major change is that the physical voice assistant button that appeared on the Xperia 1 III has been removed, although it is said to call out Google The physical button will be more practical when assisting, but the probability of accidental touch will also increase. In addition, the button on the Xperia 1 III cannot be customized or turned off. For some users, it should be gratifying, but they like the physical voice. Button friends don't have to worry about the Xperia 1 IV, like most of the current Android devices, long press the power button to activate the Google voice assistant, and the shutdown is changed to the power button and the volume up button , and the Xperia 1 IV in the box also follows up. Environmentally friendly boxed configuration In addition to all the materials turned into paper, there is only one Xperia 1 IV in the box, like the charger and charging cable, which need additional preparations. Friends who care should pay attention, but if you are the previous generation Xperia 1 III User accessories can be used. The charging is also the same as the 30W design . Fortunately, because of the limited time, Bonnie will directly focus on the focus . First of all, the three Sony configurations that everyone cares about are still there, including the extremely advanced 3.5mm headphone jack in 2022, which can be expanded . There is a MicroSD card slot and a black technology card slot that can take out the SIM card without a card pin. By the way, the card slot has been moved to the bottom of the fuselage, and only the antenna is left on the left side of the fuselage. There is no other configuration. The second question does not seem to have changed much. Can the peripherals of Xperia 1 III and 1 IV be shared? NO , if you want to know, there are actually a lot of changes. The lens module has actually moved a little to the left , the buttons on the upper right half have moved down a little, and the physical shutter button has also moved up. A little bit, all of them have moved to a position that is easier to use when hand-held. The front part has changed from the previous micro 2.5D to a full-plane Sony called the classic super-flat design. It also uses Corning Victus and changed it to a full-plane . The middle frame can better defend and avoid breaking. The second is that everyone's full-page protective stickers will be easier to find. You don't need to worry about whether you want UV full-glue 2.5D full version or indented non-full version . The advantage of full plane is the protective sticker. No need to choose, the price may be cheaper What about the weight of the third question? In terms of feel, the Xperia 1 IV also maintains a weight of about 186 grams. In addition to being similar to the previous generation , it is still very thin and light by the standard of the 2022 glass flagship. By the way, the battery of the Xperia 1 IV has also been upgraded to 5000mAh . It is hard to imagine that Sony has maintained a similar weight while increasing the 500mAh . These generations of Sony have a DNA that the battery is constantly getting bigger, but the size of the body will always remain at a similar position, just like how you eat without getting fat . It is one of the black technologies. Finally , the necessary IP65 and IP68 dustproof and waterproof LED indicators for Sony flagships, as well as the side physical fingerprint recognition combined with the power button design, all have this kind of design on the flagship. The flagship that does not need to think about small details is comfortable. By the way, this is The desktop of the Xperia 1 IV has also been redesigned . The animation consistency of entering the desktop after unlocking is also very good. Next, let 's take a look at what Bonnie thinks that everyone is very concerned about on the Xperia 1 IV, which is the screen . The previous generation Xperia 1 III was equipped with A 4K 120Hz HDR OLED screen is 4K 120Hz, you don't need to choose all the concepts , the color rendering and details are very good . In short, last year's Xperia 1 III is good in everything, but the only shortcoming is brightness . This generation of Xperia 1 IV also uses A 4K 120Hz HDR OLED screen, the key point is that under Bonnie's actual measurement, Sony has a huge improvement in brightness this time. First of all, under strong light and full white brightness, Bonny's actual measurement Xperia 1 IV can reach a maximum of about 940 nits. Under the same conditions, the Xperia 1 III is only around 550 nits, and the Xperia 1 IV can reach around 1200 nits at HDR peak brightness. The previous generation Xperia 1 III is only 800 nits . Don't forget This is a 4K OLED , and it is more difficult to achieve high brightness . In addition to being close to the mainstream real flagships in the market, the Xperia 1 IV has surpassed many FHD 2K sub-flagships, reaching a peak brightness of over 1,000 nits. It can also better release the performance of highlights in HDR scenes, not to mention the full screen brightness of around 940 nits. It can also better cope with the environment in the sun. Sony has pushed the brightness a lot this time , but in terms of display performance It is still transparent, the colors are full and natural, and 4K is still delicate. After all , the pixel density has reached an amazing 643ppi. I believe everyone who has experienced the Xperia 1 III should be familiar with the overall adjustment on the Xperia 1 IV. It is also similar to the Sony in the past. Say This generation of Xperia 1 IV is to make up for the biggest shortcoming of the previous generation on the screen. If there is anything that can be made up for it, it is probably the lack of LTPO, which may also improve the battery life to a certain extent. After all, the Xperia 1 IV is still equipped with There is still a big difference in experience between a 120Hz screen and a 60Hz screen. Through Bonnie's screen, you can see that 120Hz is very smooth when sliding compared to 60Hz . In the display mode, the Xperia 1 IV also provides source The director mode of Sony's own professional monitor Master Monitor and the standard mode from its own BRAVIA TV also provide 10-segment adjustment of white balance, including D50, D55, D61, D65 and D93 . It is very practical to directly adjust the corresponding white balance in a professional scene. Then I see the sound effect part. As a son of Sony, it includes 360 Reality Audio Hi-Res certified DSEE Ultimate sound effect restoration technology and LDAC encoding. Probably most of them can be used in The small badges found on the headphones are also supported on the Xperia 1 IV. The special thing is that you still remember that Sony previously launched a sound technology called Spatial Sound. Reality and this year Spatial Sound has become a 360 Reality Audio Upmix and provides Auto Music Cinema three scenes to choose from. Of course, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Atmos were previously supported on the Xperia 1 IV, and the Xperia 1 IV is used externally . It also adopts the rare 2022 left and right front dual speakers . The following Bonnie also provides an actual measurement for your reference and then sees the camera you are looking forward to. This time Sony once again brought black technology with the telephoto on the 1 IV. Yes, you still remember Sony Is the Xperia 1 III equipped with an optical zoom periscope lens that can switch between two focal lengths? Simply put, through a single lens , you can switch between 2.9x 70mm and 4.4x 105mm and this time Sony directly brought out a true continuous optical zoom lens, which can continuously zoom from 85mm to 125mm . You can also directly see on the camera interface that from 3.5x to 5.2x is framed, just slide it gently on it, you can perform real This should also be an official announcement . The era of continuous optical zoom on mobile phones may really come. Let's look back at the mirror first. Group configuration The first is the same F2.2 12-megapixel 16mm ultra-wide-angle lens , followed by the same F1.7 24mm 12-megapixel main lens , which is also a 1/1.7-inch sensor and supports OIS optical anti-shake finally . The highlight of this time is the F2.3-F2.8 85-125mm 12MP optical zoom lens, which uses a 1/3.5-inch sensor and also supports OIS optical anti-shake. Finally , the 3D iToF module that Sony has had in these generations is in Xperia . The 1 IV has also been retained. Bonnie also measured through the infrared camera. It can be seen that the 3D iToF on the Xperia 1 IV is similar to the Xperia 1 III in terms of performance. The actual focusing speed is also not bad . This time, the overall lens configuration of the Xperia 1 IV is similar to the Xperia 1 III except for the telephoto lens. In fact, Sony has brought some small changes this time . The first focus is on the three elements on the Xperia 1 IV. All the cameras support up to 4K 120fps video recording. Yes, through the newly added Video Pro function this time. Yes , Video Pro also officially debuted on the Xperia 1 IV. Through Video Pro , it can not only support the full-lens 4K 60FPS that only a few flagships can achieve. This time Sony has come directly to full-lens 4K 120FPS high frame rate recording, which should be the first mobile phone on the market to support full-lens 4K 120FPS. In addition to the specifications that can directly record 4K 120FPS, it also supports 4K 120FPS slow-motion video if you want To shoot some slow-motion pictures that are more cinematic, just turn on the slow-motion option in Video Pro and select the corresponding frame rate. For example , if 120FPS is slowed down to 23.98, it will be five times slower . Of course, if it is 4 times, 60 will be twice as slow. Slow and so on , so pay attention if you want to directly record 4K 120FPS images , you need to choose 119.88 in the FPS part. In short, compared with 4K 30FPS, the overall picture performance of 4K 60FPS will be smoother and the slow motion of 4K 120FPS will come. It is to slow down the 4K 120-frame image. The highlight is that compared with the slow motion of various companies, it can only record the slow motion of FHD 4K 120FPS. If you want to use it in video creation, the quality of the picture will be more available . If you want to record 4K 120FPS. Slow motion, then turn on slow motion in the settings, and then select the corresponding FPS to adjust the multiplier of the slowdown. By the way, Sony this time, in addition to making all lenses support 4K 120F In addition to PS recording, this time, a wide dynamic range adjustment option has also been added to Video Pro. The principle is to improve the dynamic range of each frame of the video through multiple composites. The following Bonnie also provides a set of samples for your reference. In the face of such a high-contrast scene, the difference in dynamic range is quite obvious. After turning on the wide dynamic range, the originally overexposed bright parts of the export were successfully restored , and the details in the dark places were also better . In the next group, everyone can Pay attention to the part of the sky, the overall picture contrast is also very natural. Finally, because Sony provides a lot of options in Video Pro, the playability is very high, but relatively in each mode, the combinations that can be activated will be different . The following are some of the more commonly used modes . First, if you want to enable the anti-shake stabilization option, the system supports up to 4K 29.97FPS and only supports standard dynamic range. Second , if you want to enable the wide dynamic range function because the system needs more Zhang Synthesis also supports up to 4K 29.97FPS and cannot enable stabilization. Third , if you want to record 4K 60FPS or 4K 120FPS , you cannot enable stabilization and wide dynamic range options. Fourth, all lenses can support 4K 120FPS recording and 4K 120FPS slow. The action is good and full this time. Let's look at the second point. Sony has equipped the three lenses this time with high-speed image reading technology. In short, all three lenses this time can reach 20 frames per second. That’s right . In the past, only the main lens supported the 20 FPS continuous shooting function. This time, it can be used in both telephoto and ultra-wide angle. This time Sony has added HDR continuous shooting mode . You should remember that Bonnie mentioned it in the Xperia 1 III. However, due to the limitation of computing resources , Xperia 1 III cannot achieve high-speed continuous shooting at the same time under continuous shooting, and HDR will cause the problem of overexposure of highlights in some scenes. This time Sony did it on Xperia 1 IV. In the movie mode, find an option for HDR continuous shooting. In this mode, the system will achieve HDR composition of 3 photos per photo by capturing 60 frames per second. That is, in this mode, each continuous photo will be It is synthesized by HDR through 3 photos. The high-speed continuous shooting can also improve the dynamic range of each photo to a certain extent. From the proofs, it can be seen that the restoration of bright parts after turning on HDR is relatively obvious. However, it is worth mentioning that in this mode, at most 66 photos can be taken continuously. In fact, the concept is very simple . The original Xperia 1 IV can achieve a continuous shooting of up to 200 photos. Now, because every three photos are combined into one HDR , about It is about 66 to 67 pictures . After the computing resources are full, a progress bar will appear below to indicate the current processing status. After the space is freed, you can continue to shoot . Continue to save in the background, but if the camera is still saving, don't slide up the camera app in the background to close, the system will not be able to process the remaining photos, and the files will be lost. It is worth mentioning that this time the Xperia 1 IV lens The speed of switching mode switching is very good. On the Xperia 1 IV, Sony still chooses to keep the logic of selecting the lens first and then zooming. However, Sony provides the option of seamless zooming in the video mode of Video Pro and Photo Pro , that is, You can zoom all the way from 16mm to 375mm with the zoom slider on the right, and the system will automatically switch between the ultra-wide-angle main lens and the optical zoom telephoto lens, but it is worth mentioning that the continuous zoom currently in the Xperia 1 IV Next, you can see that the jumping and white balance switching conditions are more obvious when switching lenses. Bonnie thinks that Sony may consider using the snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The above is much better. After all, the ISP starts with the Snapdragon 888. Qualcomm's ISP is relatively easy to deal with when dealing with multi-camera switching. You can try to make all the cameras start at the same time in the background to achieve a smoother and more consistent screen switching. Then Bonnie will stop talking and we will go directly to the proofs link. But I want to remind everyone that the Xperia 1 IV in Bonny's hands is still a relatively early engineering version , and Sony should bring optimizations later, but let's take a look at the performance of the Xperia 1 IV in the current version, because This episode is a quick start. Bonnie cuts to the point directly. Bonnie thinks that the main upgrade on the Xperia 1 IV this time will be detail retention and success rate . If you remember, there was actually one more obvious time on the Xperia 1 III. However , on the Xperia 1 IV, the main lens is much more stable than the previous generation . The main improvement will be the preservation of the details of the picture . You can see from the proofs that in the center of the picture, the performance of the two generations is relatively similar, but The Xperia 1 IV is still better. If you see the edge of the screen, the Xperia 1 IV can be more clearly seen on the building What text is written on the board on the front, and in the next group and this group, almost every group of proofs can see that the Xperia 1 IV is better in detail retention, mainly benefiting from this algorithm upgrade. Note Bang What I'm talking about here is the main lens, the ultra- wide-angle telephoto, and so on. You can also see the details of the Xperia 1 IV on the double , that is, digitally cropped screen through the main lens, but there is a slightly unexpected place. This time, the main lens of the Xperia 1 IV occasionally has a slightly reddish white balance problem. I look forward to further updates from Sony and then I will see the telephoto part. I will say it again here because Bonnie still has an engineering version. It is currently at the telephoto end. The hardware is not the final version , so everyone will use the reference as the main point. I will directly conclude that the telephoto stabilization of the Xperia 1 IV is better than that of the 1 III, but in the current version, the detail performance of the Xperia 1 III will be better. Well, I may wait for the future commercial version to have a chance to test it again. The performance of the two generations on the ultra-wide angle is relatively close. You can refer to the following proofs . In the night shot, the Xperia 1 IV still does not have an independent night scene mode option , but it is similar to the previous model. In the same way , there will still be multiple capture algorithms under low light sources. Simply put, there is a night scene mode, but it must be automatically turned on after being detected by the system. At this time, you can hold steady and wait for the camera to capture. However, Bonnie still hopes that Sony can consider adding an independent night scene mode, which will be more flexible in use. Bonnie will also directly show you the proofs. Just like the night shots, I will focus directly on the key points. This time Xperia The main lens of the 1 IV's night shooting details are also much better , eh? Isn't the hardware similar? Why is there a difference? The biggest reason is that the Xperia 1 IV's night scene mode judgment has become much more positive . Let's look at the proofs first. Zoom in on the group, and then we zoom in on this group. Basically, each group of night shot proofs can see that the details of the Xperia 1 IV have improved . The biggest reason is that we look at this group of proofs. In the past , even the Xperia 1 III In a scene that is already quite dark, the capture is still not very active. On the Xperia 1 IV, Sony is more active in whether it is night scene or HDR. It will be a big difference this time . It is relatively easy to encounter the problem of high temperature warning during shooting and video recording. Although the camera can still operate continuously , some real-time processing functions will be turned off. I hope that Sony can further optimize the timing of the high temperature warning popping out. It's not too high, but the Xperia 1 IV's warnings are still relatively conservative Okay, here's a summary. Let's talk about the main lens . The details of both day and night shots have been significantly improved, but the white balance of day shots is occasionally reddish. Looking forward to Sony's subsequent updates, the details at night have improved significantly, mainly because the trigger conditions for night mode are relaxed and HDR It is also more positive. The overall performance of the main lens has been good after several generations of polishing. The super wide-angle has a limited improvement this time, but it should also benefit from the new algorithm. The details will be better. It is a pity that the telephoto part is currently limited by engineering. The telephoto hardware of the machine is not the final version, so Xperia 1 IV still has some room for optimization in terms of details. I will wait for the subsequent commercial version to have a chance to test it. I still want to remind everyone that this episode is a quick start , so a more detailed comparison The actual measurement, etc., will be slowly measured in the program in the future . If you are interested, remember to subscribe to Bonnie , so you will not miss it. In the video part, this time Xperia 1 IV is also equipped with Cinema Pro. What is more special is the Video that appeared in Xperia PRO-I earlier . The Pro function is also supported on the Xperia 1 IV this time, and you can also connect to the Vlog suite that Sony introduced in the PRO-I, including the secondary screen and the Bluetooth handle . With the option of live broadcast, you can directly stream YouTube through Video Pro for live broadcast, and everyone can see that you can also adjust various values in real time during the live broadcast, and support the function of eye and real-time object tracking and focusing. The following Bonnie also provides 4K 30FPS video recording. For your reference , Bonnie also provides the anti-shake performance at 4K 30FPS for your reference. By the way , the Xperia 1 II and the Xperia 1 III had the Full HD 60FPS video aliasing problem on the Xperia 1 IV. It's finally fixed, and have you noticed that you can also zoom continuously on the Xperia1 IV. You don't need to select a lens before zooming. Sony should have heard everyone's voice. It's worth giving an encouragement . This time, the selfie lens has also been increased to 12 million pixels and supports 4K HDR recording . Everyone is guessing that it should be Sony's engineer who finally got a girlfriend. Then I saw the last part , which is the performance. The Sony Xperia 1 IV in Bonnie 's hands uses It's a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 with 12GB RAM and 256GB ROM , but it's too small. It's a pity because the 1 IV in Bonnie's hand is still an engineering version. There is no way to bring you further performance tests . If there is a chance in the future, Bonnie will put the game measured result If it is provided to everyone, the battery life part of the Xperia 1 IV uses a large battery of 5000mAh, supports wired fast charging up to PD 30W, and also supports Qi wireless charging and wireless power sharing. The battery life part is the same, and there is a chance to test it later, and the Xperia 1 IV also has the same biosecurity identification. Supports the physical fingerprint recognition that everyone likes. The following Bonnie also provides a simple test for your reference. The show is coming to an end.
