Bought the phone today. I have not had a chance to use it but it goes back. The phone is very narrow and long. It is probably 3 to 4 inches narrower than my Samsung S10 phone and it is longer by 3 to 4 inches, and it looks as 6.5 inches phone. I can live with longer portion, but being narrow and long, it does not look that well.

Coming from the Xperia 5 II to getting the Xperia 5 IV, I’ve noticed and feel a big difference. The screen is smooth, clean and responsive. I’ve noticed less figure print smudges on the screen and the back which seems to be a matte finish. THE BATTERY LIFE IS AMAZING! Especially with the multiple apps I have running in the background. The photo and video apps from Sony is very encouraging to get into content creating because of the quality. Its really impressive even from surrounding friends and coworkers I show, would agree. This phone is great for content creators and perfect for me. Great job Sony!

Typical Sony. Phone is too hot to use normally. I might be in Central Florida, but I shouldn’t be throttled to a 60hz screen because the phone is too hot to use in the shade… On a cloudy day outside, in November! I’ve bought every compact model and some bigger models dating back to the z5 compact. There were times I dunked my phone in ice water just to use the camera outside. Too often I’m holding it in front of the ac vents in the car. I have to download a temperature app to monitor the cpu and battery temperature. I kept buying them because of the form factor and vanilla skin. Moto does well with being like stock android too. None of their phones overheat, but I also can’t put them in my pocket. Look, EVERYTHING is great about the phone with the exception of the heat that will occasionally burn your hand or face. The camera app warns of “serious burns due to heat.” I mean cmon… Is this phone equivalent to McDonald’s coffee? One more thing to note, it does NOT connect to band 77 on Verizon. Not sure why, I think it’s because it’s 5g Na vs 5g nsa. It’ll show a 5gUW icon, and boast high download speeds, but my pixel 6a on a lower tier plan beat it everytime. Upload speeds were useless. Maybe I had a bad modem in the unit? Also, most cases are coming from China because there just aren’t options for it here in the states. Plenty for the 5 iii though. I’d proceed with caution if you want to purchase this phone.

Slim. Tall. No bezels. Front facing full stereo speakers. Memory card expenable storage. Headphone jack. Notification light. Incredible camera with technology borrowed from alpha camera line. Natural dslr looking photos. 4K 120fps across all 3 lenses. Incredible battery life. This is a grown up phone for grown up discerning consumers. No gimmicks. No flashing lights. Pure style. Pure joy to use. Stays cool and consistent. Sony, you’ve finally done it. Congrats.

Great phone and am very happy with it. Love the SD card slot, the display, headphone jack and camera. Video and photos out of the phone are impressive. The phone does get hot, but it hasn’t gotten in the way of using the phone. I don’t play mobile games on the phone though.

Great phone for beginners. Great for gifts. We bought this for a stocking stuffer

Lovely build quality but the device tends to get very hot with minimal use. Android Auto was another big problem I kept having. I changed USB cables thinking it was the wiring but it ended up being the device as other Android devices did not have issues with the car console. This kept happening as the device was on the latest Android 13. The camera is great but does need you to tweak the settings not straightforward like the others such as iPhones and Galaxy devices where it auto process the images for you.

It is a great phone, slimmer but taller 6.1” phone. Easy to grip, it has 3.5mm audio jack and an micro SD card slot. No need to buy high end phone just for capacity. You can use the point and shoot camera but the photos would be better if you know how to use the manual settings like in a Sony camera phone.
Didn’t get that hot for me when using for more than an hour of hotspot data when traveling.
I just wish Sony Xperia would release a mini form factor that can rival the iPhone minis. Android doesn’t have flagship spec phone that has the same size as the iPhone mini.

Without question, the best phone ever produced! The size alone makes it exceptional; you can operate it with one hand! Sont finally got what no other manufacturer could comprehend, size matters! No body with any reasonable sense wants a wide phone, capable of falling from your hands. Apple phones are slowly failing in the marketplace and with Android phones holding 71% of the worldwide, they needed a good cell phone front and center and the Sony Xperia 5IV is the front runner! Size, battery life, charging, minimal downloaded apps, colors, one has it all. Prior to finding this jewel, I was using a Samsung Galaxy S22 purchased a few months back, it wasn’t worthy of the trash can I dropped it in after setting up this phone! If you need a phone, search no longer, this is your phone and with it comes the respectability of a phone, not a huge brick up against your head looking like an idiot!

I’ve got this for taking great pics. I’ve seen the new (Nov/Dec) Pixie 7- cuts out background, and Samsung S21 – great night shoots but I love Sony’s strong history of making all cell phones cameras. As normal it takes a little time to learn fast setups. But did get a one shot perfect pic.

Great phone but on expensive side. I decided to go with “like new” purchase and this was a great deal with free fast shipping from BestBuy. Im a happy customer.

Poor system memory management ruins the phone experience because the OS keeps killing apps like music playing in the background or, especially in a heavier app like snapchat, repeatedly kills the keyboard app so I am stuck for several seconds trying to constantly reopen the keyboard in hopes that I can eventually type something. Serious usage like switching between multiple apps while listening to music will end with either the keyboard issue or your music app getting killed leaving you with a sudden stop in music playback for the frustrating keyboard issue. I would have returned the phone if I wasnt outside the ridiculously short 14 day return window. I’m not the only one with the issue, as you can check the xperia subreddit and the bug thread has multiple instances of the memory issues with many users replying to the posts with similar issues.
Otherwise the phone has excellent battery life and when it isnt killing critical apps like my keyboard, it is a very fast phone with excellent video recording apps like their video pro and cinema pro apps. But is any of that worth it when your music playback keeps stopping and your phone is basically a brick when you cant use the keyboard?

Very solid overall, never too hot, never too slow. Battery life is by far the best I’ve seen. I’ve gone for three days without charging with normal usage, and minimum two days with near constant (even if not overly demanding) usage.

Looking for something as small as a Galaxy S10e while retaining the microSD card, and having at least the same performance. This blew the S10e away in performance.
Unfortunately my thumb hurt so bad from trying to stretch it to the very top of the screen to reach the notification bars, and other various buttons. Hurt for a week, and returned this. Back to using my Galaxy S10e…. Really wish company’s would make a smaller microSD phone.

Coming from a LG G8, i was impressed by the following.
Good
Screen response and colors were vibrant. I enjoyed having a led for notifications like my old S8. Battery life was great.
Bad
Phone was more narrow, harder to type and video viewing was lack luster. Weird double notification bars when notifications would arrive.
Camera shots in auto mode was worse than the LG G8, manual mode was decent but even then shots had a hard time being clear, in zoom the most. Video modes were decent. Call reception was worse than my LG. And audio through speakers and aux lesser quality.
I was excited for the Sony, but in hand I was not happy.

Im not happy with the price vs size. Its really small for the large price tag. I love Sony but unless the prices drop I’ll be moving to Google phones. Good speakers and camera but NOT worth the price.
JohnR –
I’m glad I purchased this. The battery life is great and the display and size is perfect.

I was looking for a small phone like the s23 but with micro sd and aux capabilities. They are similar but have certain trade offs. For one, i prefer the shape of the s23, this phone is a bit skinny which shrinks the keyboard. As for the os, it lacks certain features such as the ability to adjust notification and ringtone volumes separately. I also wish there was a true rugged case for this but i understand the difficulty due to the fingerprint sensor placement on the side. Fingerprint sensor is very nice once you get used to it. Camera seems to be of excellent quality. As for the reception it’s hard for me to judge but i think i may have had slightly better signal on my s23 in certain areas. Music is wonderful to listen to on this thanks to my 1 tb sd card and aux port. Overall this phone does everything i need and i hope Sony continues making great quality phones like this with sd card slots and aux ports.

Wonderful phone, I don’t know why people aren’t buying these. It has this cool dynamic vibration feature that vibrates the phone along with whatever music you’re listening to, super cool.
It also has the entire video, cinema, and photo suite of apps accompanied by fantastic cameras, an amazing package to have! Oh and a rare feature, expandable storage! Yes please.

A great built-in DAC for a great sound on both wired and wireless headphones. Love watching movies on that phone due to picture quality and platform. AV entertainment in hand and on the go.

This Android phone works great and still has features that Samsung and Google Pixel have decided to start removing (SD Card slot, headphone jack, etc). Only downside is that if you are transferring from a Samsung phone you will have to find 3rd party solutions to certain apps provided by Samsung (voice recorder for example).

I’ve had this phone for about a year now, overall I’m very happy with the phone and it’s features.
The main reason I went with Sony this time over a Samsung, was that it 1. Still has a SD Card, 2. Still has a headphone jack.
These were 2 items that I wanted in a phone, and Samsung removed them so I no longer consider Samsung phones in my purchase decisions.
The only items I don’t really care for on this phone,
1. The camera app does make the phone get hot quickly. Sony needs to address this. If it gets too hot the camera will shut down.
2. The LED flashlight is very dim, almost can’t use it for a flashlight. I’ve had other phones where this LED is very bright, so I’m not sure why Sony couldn’t have done this too.
