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.
Sony Xperia 1 VI Design Unveiled
The design of the Sony Xperia 1 VI closely mirrors its predecessor. Sporting a flat frame, the smartphone positions the volume rocker and power buttons on the right side, with the power button also serving as a fingerprint scanner. Additionally, there is a dedicated camera shutter button near the bottom edge on the same side.
Detailed Features of Sony Xperia 1 VI
The back panel of the Sony Xperia 1 VI showcases a pill-shaped protruding camera module housing three ZEISS lenses, including a periscope sensor. Along the bottom edge, one can find a USB-C port and a SIM tray slot, while the top edge features a 3.5mm headphone jack.
While many Android smartphones opt for a bezel-less display with a punch-hole cutout at the center, Sony maintains a traditional approach with top and bottom bezels that are not excessively thick. The device is expected to offer a 6.5-inch display, with dimensions measuring 161.9 x 74.5 x 8.4mm. This suggests that compared to the Xperia 1 V, the new model will be slightly smaller, wider, and thicker, potentially altering the aspect ratio from 21:9 to 19.5:9.
The leaked renders do not provide additional details about the Sony Xperia 1 VI. However, reports indicate that the upcoming device may feature a 2K display instead of the previously seen 4K resolution. Marketing material leaks suggest the presence of 48MP primary, ultra-wide, and periscope units utilizing an Exmor T sensor.
