Sony Xperia 5 IV passed FCC certification: more compact body, new wireless charging

CTOnews.com, August 23 (Xinhua)-- FCC recently certified an upcoming Sony smartphone that seems to be the Xperia 5 IV that has been rumored for some time.

The equipment list reveals some key specifications, including the size of the phone: 155.74 mm in height and 67.1mm in width. This is shorter and narrower than last year's Xperia 5 III, which is 157mm and 68mm respectively, so the new machine's fuselage will be more compact. The diagonal of the Xperia 5 IV screen is listed as 153.5 mm, which is exactly 6.04 inches, which is slightly shorter than the Xperia 5 III 6.1in panel.

In addition, the Xperia 5 IV will be equipped with a USB-C interface for charging and data transmission, as well as a 3.5mm headphone Jack. The list also confirms that the new phone supports NFC and wireless charging, which is not supported on the previous three Xperia 5 models.

CTOnews.com learned that Sony Xperia 5 IV will also support Wi-Fi 6 and RFID smart cards, which are widely used in Japan.

This is all the information about the Sony Xperia 5 IV revealed by FCC. According to previous revelations, the Xperia 5 IV will use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 + Gen 1 chipset and is expected to use the same camera configuration as the Xperia 5 III: a 1200 megapixel (IMX557) main sensor, a 1200 megapixel IMX663 telephoto module and a 1200 megapixel (IMX363) ultra wide-angle lens.
