After almost a year of wait, Sony has finally revamped its Android smartphone lineup with the launch of a new Xperia series phone. The Sony Xperia I IV has arrived in the market after months of anticipation. The flagship Sony Xperia smartphone was introduced last week in China but has gone up for sale today. How much is the latest Sony Xperia series phone cost and when it will be arriving in India and other global markets? Details are below:
Sony Xperia 1 IV Price Announced; Sale Goes Live
Sony has announced the Xperia 1 IV in China at an asking price of 8,499 Yuan which is around Rs. 98,000 in Indian currency. This is the price of the base variant which is equipped with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration.
The Sony Xperia 1 IV is also available with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage configuration. This top model is priced at 9,499 Yuan which translates to somewhere around Rs. 1,10,000 in the Indian market. The color options introduced are black, white, and purple.
While the Xperia 1 IV has gone up for sale in China, Sony has not revealed its availability details for global markets including India. It is worth noting that Sony hasn’t introduced any Xperia series phone in the country for long; neither, the brand has revealed any plans for the same.
Even if the Xperia 1 IV arrives in the market it would likely have a slightly lower price tag compared to the Chinese counterpart. We are waiting for Sony to reveal the pricing and availability details for the Xperia 1 IV in India and other markets and will update you with the timeline when available.
