The leaked renders are in black-and-white color options. The display is shown flat with thicker top and bottom bezels which means no punched hole on the display. The design aspect of the smartphone has not changed from its predecessor though there would be a change in the aspect ratio of the smartphone. The rear side of the smartphone shows the triple camera setup on an island. The engraved ZEISS T* means the lenses will have the ZEISS T* coating to tone down the glare. The right side of the handset shows a power button integrated with the fingerprint sensor, volume button, and camera shutter key. The top side of the smartphone shows the audio jack.

As per the report, the Sony Xperia 1 VI smartphone can come with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio rather than 21:9. It can come with a 2K display rather than the 4K display that we saw in its predecessor. It can be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor paired with up to 16GB RAM.

Sony can soon launch its next flagship smartphone Xperia 1 VI in the market. Rumors say that the company can drop the characteristic aspect ratio of the series and settle for the aspect ratio followed by the other companies’ flagship phones. It was quite evident from the recent leaked image of the alleged protective case of the phone which was allegedly spotted on EMVCo certification also. Now the 5K renders and 360 video of the Sony Xperia 1 VI have been leaked in an exclusive report by Android Headlines. These renders, videos, and other information have been sourced from the famous leakster @OnLeaks.

As per the leaked renders of the smartphone, it can come with a 6.5-inch wide flat display as we have seen in its predecessor. The rear side of the handsets shows a triple camera setup while the top side shows the headphone jack. The right side of the frame shows the dedicated camera shutter. The smartphone is said to have dimensions of 161.9 x 74.5 x 8.4 mm. This simply means the smartphone can be less tall and wide than its predecessor and can come with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio rather than 21:9. The Sony Xperia 1 VI smartphone is expected to come with the 2K display as the rumours say rather than going with the 4k display as its predecessor. As far as the launch of the handset is concerned, the company can launch it in May month of this year as that is being said based on the launch timeline of the Xperia 1 V.

Recently a blogger revealed the photos of the protective case of alleged Sony Xperia 1 VI and Xperia 5 VI mobile phones(reported by ithome). Earlier reports have said that the company has changed the aspect ratio of the Sony Xperia 1 VI smartphone along with the resolution. And the protective case of the smartphone does suggest that the smartphone can be wider than its predecessor and that fits well with previous reports around the change in aspect ratio.

It was said that the Sony Xperia 1 VI smartphone can come with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio display in place of 21:9 with 2K+ resolution in place of 4K. The rest of the things like the camera and placement of buttons seemed normal in the case image. The smartphone is said to retain its design while making these aforementioned changes. It is said to make its debut in May month of this year and has earlier also been spotted on the EMVCO database.

Now let’s talk about the protective case of the alleged Sony Xperia 5 VI mobile phone. As per the image shared by Blogger, it has the cutout for the dual camera setup on the rear while the camera shutter button position seems to have been changed. However, it cannot be said now whether the company has completely removed it or just changed its position. The rest of the information about both handsets remains under the wrap and needs time to come out.

Sony is reportedly working on the Xperia 1 VI smartphone but this is not the sole update about it. The smartphone is said to have changed while retaining the same design language as its predecessor. As per a Weibo post by a user, the Xperia 1 VI smartphone won’t have a 4K screen anymore. It can come with a 2K display in place of that and the second place where the change can be seen is in aspect ratio. The smartphone can drop the cinematic 21:9 aspect ratio in favour of 19.5:9. These changes can make a few users sad but there are chances that the company is looking ahead to target the mass with this.

The Weibo user has specifically mentioned in the post that the overall design of the smartphone is going to be the same as its predecessor. This smartphone is said to come in May month of this year. The rest of the features of the handset remain under the wrap. Recently a smartphone with model number XQ-ES54 appeared on the EMVCO database and it is believed to be an Xperia 1 VI smartphone. We need to wait for the official announcement and also regarding the change that is tipped.
