We have a sneak peek at the Sony Xperia 1 VI. Renowned tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer, also known as Onleaks, has unveiled the CAD-based renders of the smartphone showcasing its design from various perspectives. This device is set to be the successor to last year’s Xperia 1 V and is generating a buzz in the rumor mill, indicating an imminent launch.
