Sony is gearing up to unveil its latest flagship smartphone, the Xperia 1 VI, on May 17 in Japan. As the launch date draws near, new details have emerged, shedding light on the device’s possible price and camera features.
According to recent leaks, the Xperia 1 VI is expected to be slightly cheaper than its predecessor in the Taiwanese market. Reports suggest a price tag of TWD 39,900 (~$1,224) compared to the TWD 41,990 (~$1,287) of the Sony Xperia 1 V. However, it remains uncertain whether this price pattern will extend to the global market.
In addition to the pricing information, there have been discussions about the camera lenses of the upcoming flagship. While initial rumors indicated that the Xperia 1 VI would feature the same camera technology as last year’s models, a leak from Japan’s Rakuten market suggests the possibility of larger camera sensors.
The leak reveals the tempered glass lens protectors for both the Xperia 1 VI and the rumored Xperia 10 VI handset. Comparing the size of the protector for the Xperia 1 VI with its predecessor, it appears to be significantly larger. This could indicate two possibilities: either the flagship will retain the same camera setup with larger lens protectors for aesthetic reasons, or there might be upgrades to the lenses themselves, such as increased resolution or larger sensor size.
As the launch date approaches, more information is expected to surface. Previous rumors have also hinted at a smaller aspect ratio display for the Xperia 1 VI, marking a departure from the design aesthetics of previous Xperia models.
