According to a new report, the Sony Xperia 1 VI could launch with unchanged camera hardware. Do note that this information comes from Weibo, but not from one of our usual sources. So… take it with a grain of salt.
The Sony Xperia 1 VI could launch with unchanged camera hardware
The device is tipped to include a 48-megapixel main camera (f/1.9 aperture, 1/1.35-inch sensor, 24mm lens). A 12-megapixel ultrawide camera (f/2.2 aperture, 16mm lens, 1/2.5-inch sensor) would also be included if that ends up being the case. The same goes for a 12-megapixel telephoto camera (f/2.3 aperture 85mm, f/2.8 aperture 125mm) with a 1/3.5-inch sensor with continuous zoom.
If they stay exactly the same, that is what we’ll get. If that ends up being the case, we’re expecting some software improvements to take place. Needless to say, those can make a huge difference. The Sony Xperia 1 V has outstanding camera hardware as is.
Now, you may recall that we’ve already seen some Xperia 1 VI reports. The phone is actually rumored to include a different aspect ratio for its display. The phone will be a bit shorter and a bit wider than its predecessor. That means we will no longer get access to a 21:9 display aspect ratio.
The phone could also ditch a 4K display
Furthermore, the Sony Xperia 1 VI could also ditch the 4K display that its predecessor is rocking. The company could switch to a QHD+ panel on its new smartphone.
Many people thought that a 4K panel on a smartphone is an overkill either way. That panel was only in use when appropriate content was played on the phone, as it would kill the battery otherwise.
The Sony Xperia 1 V arrived in May last year. Chances are that its successor will follow in May this year. That means it’ll likely arrive next month.
