Sony has disclosed that the Xperia 1 VI will be officially launched on May 15, just a few days from now. Although the announcement has not been made public yet, a significant amount of details, including camera specifications, have already surfaced through leaked promotional materials.
Camera Sensors Revealed
A recent leak from HT Felix has unveiled the camera sensors that will be featured in the Xperia 1 VI. Surprisingly, both the Xperia 1 VI and Xperia 10 VI are rumored to share the same sensors, tailored for different purposes. The camera sensors expected for the Xperia 1 VI are as follows:
- Ultra-wide (16mm): 50MP Sony LYT600 (1/2″ optical format)
- Main (24mm): 48MP Sony LYT800 (1/1.4″)
- Telephoto (85-170mm): 50MP LYT500 (1/2.9″)
These sensors mark a substantial improvement over the previous 12MP sensors found in the predecessor.
Xperia 10 VI Comparison
On the other hand, the Xperia 10 VI is anticipated to incorporate the LYT600 and LYT500 sensors in its primary and ultra-wide cameras respectively. Moreover, the exclusive Zeiss T* coating is likely to be retained only in the Xperia 1 VI. Leaked promotional images suggest that the Xperia 1 VI will boast an "Exmor T for mobile" image sensor, potentially based on the Sony LYT800 sensor.
Display and Features
The Xperia 1 VI is projected to feature an OLED display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, a notable departure from the Xperia 1 V’s 21:9 narrow display. Additionally, the display is rumored to be 1.5 times brighter than its predecessor. The leaked images also hint at an enhanced heat dissipation system designed to improve performance during outdoor camera usage.
It is important to note that these details are based on leaked information and should be taken with a degree of caution.
