Common Sony Xperia 1 IV issues we check at inspection

  • Overheating. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor can lead to significant heating, especially during intensive tasks like 4K video recording or gaming, potentially causing performance throttling.
  • Battery Drain. Some users report faster than expected battery drain, which can be attributed to the high-resolution 4K display and powerful processor.
  • Camera Processing Inconsistency. Despite excellent camera hardware, Sony's image processing can sometimes be inconsistent or less vibrant compared to competitors, leading to mixed results in certain conditions.
