Sony Xperia 1 IV pre-orders open with free Sony 1000XM4 headphones bundled in
Get the best headphones of 2022 with your Sony Xperia 1 IV
The new Sony Xperia 1 IV is now available for pre-order, and a few juicy freebies are being thrown in for those looking to pick up this premium Android flagship.
Retailing for $1,599, those pre-ordering in the US will be treated to a free pair of Sony WF-1000XM4 wireless earbuds - a premium set of fantastic noise-canceling buds that normally retail for $279 by themselves.
Over in the UK, pre-orderers (yes, that's a word) will get themselves a free pair of Sony WH-1000XM4, which are just about the best headphones money can buy right now. Again, the phone is pricey (£1,299), but the Sony WH-1000XM4 tend to retail for anywhere between £249 to £279, with big discounts being rare. In short, it's not a cheap throw-away freebie here but a serious perk for getting your pre-order in.
We haven't reviewed the Sony Xperia 1 IV yet here at TechRadar (it's due to be released on September 1st in the US and June 16th in the UK), but it's likely to be a top contender for the best phone on the market. Inside, it's powered by the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 that you'll find on the Galaxy S22 series while featuring a 6.5-inch 4K OLED display capable of a 120Hz refresh rate. It's also the first smartphone on the market to feature continuous optical zoom, a feature that will excite a lot of avid mobile photographers.
