Leaked Sony Xperia 1 IV renders suggests most of the changes will be under the hood
Back in 2021, Sony launched the Xperia 1 III. It’s actually kind of admirable for the company given that these days, Samsung pretty much dominates the Android smartphone market along with other Chinese brands like Xiaomi, Oppo, and OnePlus, but despite those challenges, the company has forged on.
