Have you ever ever complained about how all high-end Android telephones these days basically look similar? In that case, then you might not have been acquainted with Sony’s Xperia flagships. Sadly for people who worth originality greater than the rest, it seems that the following installment within the Xperia 1 household will enormously cut back the unconventional facet of its forerunners.
Nearer to the Galaxy S24 Extremely than the Xperia 1 V
The brand new photographs present an total acquainted system that nonetheless measures 161.9 x 74.5 x 8.4mm. By themselves, after all, these numbers might not imply a lot to you, however in comparison with the size of final yr’s Xperia 1 V, they paint a considerably completely different and much more standard image.
We’re a cellphone that is over 3 millimeters shorter and precisely 3.5mm wider than its predecessor, which is able to apparently change that absolutely unorthodox 21:9 facet ratio to round 19.5:9. In any other case put, your video content material will look roughly the identical right here because it does on the Galaxy S24 Extremely, as an illustration, which isn’t essentially a nasty factor.
Nevertheless it might definitely make the Xperia 1 VI really feel method much less particular and unique than the Xperia 1 V, significantly if that different rumor from a few weeks again additionally pans out. Specifically, Sony’s subsequent massive cellular factor is anticipated to downgrade its predecessor’s 4K display screen decision to 2K, thus probably falling wanting the S24 Extremely’s (theoretical) show high quality somewhat than eclipsing it.
The Galaxy S24 Extremely, bear in mind, sports activities 3,120 x 1,440 pixel decision, and whereas the precise numbers of the Xperia 1 VI are nonetheless below wraps, the 2K mark is clearly usually set a bit decrease than that. In fact, the real-world show efficiency does not at all times line up with the decision completely, particularly with so little native 4K content material accessible and with the human eye solely able to discerning so many pixels on a 6.5-inch panel.
Sure, the Xperia 1 VI is tipped to maintain the 6.5-inch display screen dimension of the 1 V unchanged, with its bezels additionally wanting fairly acquainted in right now’s leaked renders. At 161.9mm, this unhealthy boy shall be only a hair shorter than the aforementioned Galaxy S24 Extremely, which as soon as once more isn’t essentially a nasty factor.
What different issues to count on and what we do not know… but
On the again of the Xperia 1 VI, we have now three Zeiss-optimized cameras that look nearly unchanged at a primary look too. Naturally, the sensors themselves might nonetheless be new and improved… even when current rumors have additionally known as for a similar 48, 12, and 12 megapixel counts as final yr.
The devoted side-mounted digicam shutter button isn’t going anyplace (fortunately), and the identical goes for our poor beloved 3.5mm headphone jack, which nearly all different top-tier smartphone producers massacred in the previous couple of years.
There aren’t any phrases on every other specs right now, however earlier whispers known as for a predictable Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, 5,000mAh battery with unknown charging capabilities, and as much as a towering 1TB of inside cupboard space paired with as a lot as 16GB RAM.
If Sony is planning to make its ultra-high-end handset shorter and extra standard this yr to enhance its mass attraction, that might additionally imply a cheaper price level, wider availability, and earlier launch are all within the playing cards as effectively.Â
Admittedly, that may simply be wishful pondering on our half. Or it might show to be a really sensible and correct prediction. Hopefully, we’ll discover out in a matter of weeks, when the Sony Xperia 1 VI is anticipated to go official.
