New Photos Show the Xperia 1 VI’s Design
While it hasn’t been officially unveiled (or even announced) by Sony at the moment, it looks like we now have a better look at the company’s upcoming flagship, the Sony Xperia 1 VI thanks to a handful of photos online. The photos are based on design renders released by Android Headlines, in collaboration with @OnLeaks.
With that being said, the supposed design does resembles past Sony Xperia smartphones such as last year’s Xperia 1 V, especially with the tall display, top and bottom bezels, and the triple-camera setup on the rear panel. There are rumors however that Sony might ditch the 21:9 aspect ratio that it often uses on its handsets, although there’s no confirmation of this at the moment.
It’s also predicted that the next Xperia flagship will retain a 6.5-inch display similar to its predecessor. Unlike other Android flagship phones though, the 1 VI will come with long-gone features such as a 3.5mm headphone jack, in addition to a microSD card slot. Other rumors claim that Sony will ditch the 4K display for a lower 2K resolution panel.
Not much else is known about the phone at this point, although it’s probably safe to assume that it will launch with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip inside, given that it’s the go-to SoC for a lot of Android brands this year.
