Sony may not enjoy the same amount of acclaim as it once did, but the business continues to produce excellent smartphones, particularly if you're looking for something that sticks out from the crowd and maintains a certain level of appeal in Europe and Japan.

Sony phones have developed their own design language over time, particularly with their most recent offerings, refusing to embrace notches, maintaining low bezels, and including features such as 21:9 screens. Today, we're looking at the first renderings of the Xperia 1 IV, and this future 2022 flagship appears to be continuing Sony's pattern.
