Sony Xperia 1 IV unveiled in the first unofficial renderings: true to the line

Apparently Sony will continue with the design language seen in the previous generation: a decidedly counter-current approach, with a display without notches or holes in favor of a traditional frame, albeit reduced, at the top, perfectly symmetrical with respect to the lower one. The side edges are flat and the corners rounded, thus giving the device the classic “brick” look that we can even trace back to the glorious iPhone 4.

On the lower side you can see the USB-C port and the trolley for the SIM, while on the top remains the 3.5mm jack. The speakers face the screen – one of the benefits of adopting a traditional top and bottom bezel design. The camera module is triple, arranged vertically; a periscope target is noted. It seems that the company has decided to abandon the physical button dedicated to Google Assistant, but of course it remains the one to take the photos. Finally, as per tradition, the fingerprint scanner should be on the power button.
