The upcoming premium flagship 2024 Sony Xperia 1 VI is shaping up to be an interesting device, especially with the potential changes in design, size, and camera specs. Real-life body and case images of Xperia 1 VI have surfaced online.
On analysis of the leaked renders of the Xperia 1 VI’s case and main body, it appears that there might not be significant design changes compared to its predecessor, the Xperia 1 V. However the aspect ratio shift from 21:9 to 19.5:9 could result in a sleeker, more compact gadget in hand. This change in aspect ratio could lead to a reduction in overall thickness, enhancing the phone’s ergonomics and making it more pleasing for hands.
On comparison of the cases of Xperia 1 V and the leaked case, one can make out that the upcoming Xperia 1 VI will be significantly smaller in size. While the width does not show much deviation between the two models, the height of the Sony Xperia 1 VI appears to be considerably shorter than that of the Xperia 1 V. The height of the device appears to be virtually 1 cm shorter, indicating a significant drop in size compared to the Xperia 1 V.
If the Sony Xperia 1 VI has a display size of around 6.3 inches, going by the case size, it would be a departure from the larger form factors seen in previous Xperia flagship models. This shift towards a more compact design could be a strategic move by Sony to differentiate its flagship lineup from the Xperia 5 series, which has traditionally offered a more compact alternative.
Although the camera hardware is expected to remain largely unchanged, the size of the camera module is likely to be similar to that of the Xperia 1 V. Comparing the sizes of the Sony Xperia 1 VI and Xperia 1 V, it seems that the Xperia 1 VI will be shorter and slightly narrower, potentially making it more pocket-friendly and easier to use with one hand.
If these leaks are accurate, the Sony Xperia 1 VI could offer a more compact alternative to its predecessor, catering to users who prefer smaller devices without compromising on performance or features. It will be exciting to see how it compares to the Xperia 5 series and what new features it brings to the table.
