When you think of thebest Android phoneyour first thought might be theSamsung Galaxy S22– which makes sense, since it’s a great smartphone – butSonywants to change that.
According to newly-leaked specs, Sony is planning a pretty big upgrade for its smartphone line-up with the Sony Xperia 5 IV, the successor to the camera-focusedSony Xperia 5 III.
We don’t know exactly when Sony plans to let us in on the Xperia 5 IV but we might now have a better idea of what to expect, thanks to a leak on Chinese social networkWeibo(viaNotebookcheck.net).
The tipster, likely relying on supply chain sources, suggests that Sony is planning on putting Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor in the smartphone alongside a decent memory bump and support for Qi wireless charging.
Perhaps most excitingly of all, the Xperia 5 IV is likely to offer a model with 12GB RAM, expanding on previous models with 8GB, alongside either 128GB or 256GB of internal storage.
The device’s display will measure in at 6.1-inches, which is equivalent to theiPhone 13, and there will be a 5,000 mAh battery on board, to keep you going throughout the full working day.
Depending on when Sony decides to release the Xperia 5 IV, it could even be runningAndroid 13, the next planned update fromGoogle.

It’s not exactly clear when Sony will release the Xperia 5 IV – some have suggested we might need to wait until December 2022 – but the frequency of the rumours suggest that Sony has at least nailed down the final design and specs.
Can’t wait that long?
The 21:9 ultrawide display is also something of a rarity for a smartphone and makes the device ideal for anyone who loves watching movies on the go in cinema-style.
The Sony Xperia 5 III might be something of an acquired taste compared the Galaxy S22 orGoogle Pixel 6, but if you care about the camera, it’s well worth checking out.
