The display comes with a feature called Sunlight Vision, which improves screen visibility outdoors by adjusting contrast in specific parts of the screen. Sony’s BRAVIA tech uses dual sensors to boost brightness and colour while watching videos. The phone packs a 5000mAh battery that’s built to last up to two days, along with Sony’s battery-saving tools.
The Sony phone supports high-resolution sound for both wired and wireless headphones. It also comes with Sony’s DSEE Ultimate AI technology, which enhances audio quality, especially for compressed music files. You’ll also get support for the LDAC codec, which means better-quality wireless streaming.

The front-facing stereo speakers are now better too, delivering 10% more sound pressure in the low-to-mid frequencies. Sony says it’s using audio components from its Walkman line to power the system.
On the camera front, there’s a new 120mm macro mode (manual focus only) for close-up shots. The phone uses full-size image sensors to improve performance in low-light conditions. The ultra-wide sensor is now 2.1x larger than before.
There are also new camera features like Auto Framing, which tracks your subject and takes both wide and close-up shots at once and AI Camera Work, which keeps the subject centred while stabilising the video. Both features work together in Dual Video Mode to make video capture smoother and more professional.
