Sony Xperia 1 IV and Xperia 10 IV pricing details leak ahead of May 11 event

Sony is apparently geared to unveil two new devices on May 11. The flagship Xperia 1 IV will be announced at the event for certain, and is expected to be joined by the mid-range Xperia 10 IV. A new leak has now revealed more details of the two devices ahead of that date.

As revealed by SnoopyTech, the Sony Xperia 1 IV will cost €1399. Earlier rumors claimed the flagship phone could cost a whopping US$1600, and this would hardly be any better. This leak would mean Sony has now raised the price of its main flagship phone every year. The Xperia 1 cost €949, the Xperia 1 II €1,199, and the Xperia 1 III €1,299. Another €100 price bump is disappointing but follows the trend.

As for the mid-range Xperia 10 IV, the leaker claims it will land with a €499 price tag. That would, again, be an increase from last year's model, with the Xperia 10 III retailing at €429. The Xperia 10 III received flak for its poor cameras and fans of the series will be hoping Sony improves on that at the very least. Supposedly, the Xperia 1 IV will be available in color options of Black, Violet, and White. The Xperia 10 IV is said to come in Blue, Green, Violet, and White.
