Sony's five-star Xperia 1 IV smartphone is currently on sale via Sony's website with a whopping £300 worth of savings. With its sharp 4K screen and rich, detailed audio performance, we found that it somehow achieved the task of outperforming its predecessor which was no small task. Our main critique was that it was pretty expensive at £1299; trumping the likes of the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra at the time of reviewing.
Thankfully, Black Friday is inching ever closer, and Sony has laid on several smartphone deals, including this irresistible Xperia 1 offer which knocks £300 off the asking price. These deals are available on both Sony's online store (opens in new tab), as well as Amazon, with the Xperia 1 IV being even cheaper on Amazon if you pick the Black colour option.
(opens in new tab)The Xperia 1 IV is easily one of the best phones you can buy right now if you want to take your movies, shows and music on the go. Its 21:9 4K OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate is stunning and it sounds as good as it looks thanks to its brilliant speaker and headphone performance. It's also incredibly feature-rich, with expansive camera modes and even native live-streaming capabilities if you're looking to create content on this phone as well as consume it.
However, if you want the five-star Sony treatment for even cheaper, then you're in luck as the whole Sony Xperia family is on sale this Black Friday. The Xperia 10 IV, our Award-winning budget champion is £80 off the usual asking price at just £299 - an absolute steal. The Xperia 5 IV, which we recently reviewed and gave five stars to, is also on sale for £799 - that's a saving of £150.
