Sony Xperia 1 IV has a unique lens, it s a periscope zoom lens. The main reason Sony keeps itself ahead of all other smartphones is the approach toward camera and photography. Sony wants to give the feeling of using the camera as using a real DSLR or any conventional camera. In Xperia 1 IV there is automatic eye focus which means the phone will detect eyes and lock onto one of them to focus on photos and videos. They also detect the eyes of animals as well. Among the major camera function, it clicks 20 shots in one second.
So what do you think ?? Is it a game-changer, In my point of view, yes it is in the aspect of mobile photography?
