With the Sony Xperia 1 III arriving last August and offering flagship specs, including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, 12GB of RAM, a 4K 120Hz 6.5-inch display, 4,500 mAh battery, and high-grade camera sensors, it may be too soon for Sony to drop yet another expensive flagship smartphone. Plus, Sony even released the more affordable Xperia 10 III earlier this year — covering the budget smartphone range. According to a post on Weibo (via Notebookcheck), however, we may see the announcement of the Sony Xperia 1 IV, and it’s expected to boast a quad 48MP camera setup. Sony has a brilliant reputation when it comes to cameras on the smartphone market, but they usually come at a high price (somewhere around the $1,300 mark). With the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Plus 5G set to bring a “Premium Tier” upgrade to a host of phones, we may see Sony offer bring out an upgraded version of its latest smartphone. Whatever Sony’s next Xperia device may be, it will have to compete with other big announcements. This includes the rumored 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models at the Apple ‘Unleashed’ event on October 18, the big Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro reveal on October 19, and everything else announced at the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event Part 2 on October 20. While we wait for the overload of announcements coming our way, catch up on all things new, including the iPhone 13, Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio and the iPad mini 6.
