How to Decide
The Sony Xperia 1 IV is known for its true optical telephoto zoom lens and is used by professional photographers and mobile videographers. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: OnePlus 11 offers 80W wired charging and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 performance at a competitive price; Google Pixel 7 Pro provides a 5x optical telephoto lens plus Tensor G2 AI‑driven camera features; iPhone 15 Pro runs iOS on the A17 Pro chip with a lightweight titanium frame for Apple‑ecosystem users; Google Pixel 9 Pro ships the Tensor G4 chip with advanced AI camera capabilities and IP68 water resistance; Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra includes a built‑in S Pen and a 200MP main sensor with 5x telephoto zoom.
When comparing these phones to the Xperia 1 IV, the most decisive factors are: the hardware optical‑zoom implementation (continuous 85‑125 mm zoom vs 5x or digital zoom on rivals), the flagship chipset and AI processing (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Tensor G2/G4, or Apple A17 Pro) which directly affect video recording and real‑time AF, the display specification (4K HDR OLED 120 Hz versus 2K/QHD+ OLED/LTPO panels), and the charging/battery ecosystem (80W fast‑charge and battery endurance versus slower charging or larger batteries).
