The upcoming Sony Xperia 1 VI flagship’s alleged dimension details have surfaced online. The leak indicates that the phone will be wider and shorter than its predecessor, the Xperia 1 V. The new leak arrived a few weeks after it was rumored that the Xperia 1 VI would forgo the 4K display.
Sony Xperia 1 VI will be a bit shorter and wider than the Xperia 1V
According to a tipster on Weibo, the Sony Xperia 1 VI will measure 162 x 74.4 x 8.45mm. If it’s true, then the phone will be 3mm shorter and 3mm wider than the Xperia 1 V. The latter measures 165 x 71 x 8.3mm. The 1 VI is expected to offer an aspect ratio of 19.4:9 and a screen measuring 6.49 inches diagonally. The device is said to come with a 2K+ resolution as compared to the 4K screen of previous Xperia flagships.
Sony has long offered an aspect ratio of 21:9 on its high-end flagship phones. The first Xperia 1 and Xperia 5 flagships were the first ones to offer this aspect ratio in 2019. This is all going to change with the Xperia 1 VI, which would now match the likes of the Galaxy S24. This will also be the first time the Xperia 1 lineup won’t offer a 4K screen.
The next Xperia flagship could have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and up to 16GB of RAM
Previous leaks have indicated that the Sony Xperia 1 VI will be carrying the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 under the helm. The handset is expected to come in 12GB and 16GB RAM variants, which will be the first for an Xperia offering. The device could be offered in multiple storage variants with UFS 4.0 flash technology. The phone will boot Android 14 out of the box.
Furthermore, the rumor mill suggests that the Xperia 1 VI will have three 48MP cameras on the back. The main lens will have a two-layer Transistor Pixel technology. The other two cameras will be an ultra-wide angle lens and a telephoto shooter. The selfie camera will be placed inside the upper bezel. As of now, we only have these details regarding the upcoming Sony flagship, so stay tuned for more.
