The much-anticipated Sony Xperia 1 VI has once again captured attention, this time through the leak of official promotional images shared by Evan Blass. These images provide a detailed glimpse into the phone's design, confirming several previously speculated features. Just recently, a fresh leak unveiled comprehensive details about the smartphone, which can be explored in our recent coverage.
Design and Features
The Xperia 1 VI is equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack supporting Hi-res audio and LDAC transmission. It houses a robust 5000mAh battery for prolonged usage. The rear camera module is enhanced with a Zeiss T* coating to reduce reflections during both photo and video shooting. Audiophiles will appreciate the continued presence of the headphone jack for quality audio output, complemented by Hi-Res audio support and LDAC transmission. Additionally, the phone offers wireless charging capabilities and reverse wireless charging functionality.
Design Changes
A notable shift from its predecessors is the alteration in the phone's aspect ratio. While maintaining Sony's signature design elements, the Xperia 1 VI has adopted a more conventional design, slightly sacrificing its previous slim profile. To preserve a seamless display without an in-display camera cutout, the bezels surrounding the screen have been slightly widened.
Expected Launch and Performance
Rumors point towards a launch date later this month for the Xperia 1 VI. It is anticipated to run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and feature an impressive rear camera setup. The leaked information also suggests a simultaneous release for Sony's Xperia 10 VI model.
