 It uses two Gorilla Glass Victus panels to protect the screen and the camera lenses. It features a 21:9 tall screen with thin bezel edges that eliminate most of the dead width around the screen, which is great for holding the phone in landscape. However, the top and bottom sections of the screen have slightly thicker bezels, which have allowed Sony to incorporate the selfie camera at the top and two speakers at either end. This doesn't compromise the screen's display prowess. The phone includes three control buttons which are situated in an accessible location on the right-hand side. There's a USB C charger at the bottom and believe it or not Sony has gone and included a 3.5mm jack at the top. This inclusion will please people who have been struggling with additional connectors or may not have access to a Bluetooth phone.

Sony’s latest flagship is going toe-to-toe with some tough competition but it’s got some tricks up it’s sleave
Sony has been busy this year releasing the next generation of its flagship Xperia range, which has already seen new iterations of the Xperia 1 and Xperia 10 hit the market. Joining them to complete the trinity is Sony’s Xperia 5 IV.
Sony’s Xperia 5 smartphones have always been released hand in hand with the Xperia 1 models, serving as a more compact, stripped-back, and slightly cheaper option.
It’s more of the same here with the Xperia 5 IV looking to emulate a similar experience of its sibling without sacrificing too much.
The Xperia 5 IV’s design stays true to Sony’s reputable aesthetic, that’s synonymous with other phones in the range. Its sleek body is made from a metal that has a matte black finish which feels durable and is much more scratch resistant than its glossy predecessors.
