The Sony Xperia 1 IV brings some stellar creative features, with its continuous optical zoom wowing for photography and its ability to shoot 4K 120fps footage on all three cameras a great tool. [techradar]
Continuous camera zoom is fantastic. [techradar]

Cons

Cons With Quality
Design
However it’s rough around the edges with a fingerprint scanner that struggles to pick up your print. [techradar]
This is an obscenely expensive phone that just can’t compete with rivals like the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra or iPhone 13 Pro Max for ‘average’ phone fans - it has a clunky design and unassuming software. [techradar]
Temperamental fingerprint scanner. [techradar]
Price
Incredibly high price. [techradar]
The latest phone from Sony comes with many excellent qualities but also an incredibly long list of potential negatives. It offers amazing potential value but is also unbelievably expensive. It's smart but somehow can't get some of the basics of phone functionality right. [tomsguide]
Software
Playback issues for recorded videos. [techradar]
