The Sony Xperia smartphone series mainly includes the Xperia 1, Xperia 5 and Xperia 10 series smartphones, but the brand also offers another entry-level model called the Xperia Ace. The latest version, Sony Xperia Ace 3, was released in 2022. Although the Xperia Ace IV was reported in December 2022, there hasn’t been much additional information or hype about it since then.

Now a possible image of the Xperia ACE IV has surfaced online. The creation comes from user X (former Twitter user) under the pseudonym @mirai160525. The phone in the render has a single camera like the Xperia Ace 3 and also has a square design. However, the design of the phone suggests that it will have a 21:9 aspect ratio display, which is quite surprising since the rest of the Xperia series is said to prefer this aspect ratio to standard displays like 19.5:1. However, there is a high chance that this render is fake.

A Geekbench listing from December 2022 claimed that the Xperia Ace IV with model number Sony SM4375 will feature the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 SoC, an entry-level 5G chip. There is currently no additional information about the device. You can check out the specifications of its predecessor, the Ace 3, to get an idea of ​​what to expect.
