Final September there was some hypothesis that
Sony would introduce the Xperia 1 VI a few month after the revealing of the
Samsung Galaxy S24 collection. The latter occurred on January seventeenth and now that we’re closing in on the month, it seems that Sony is on the point of introduce the world to its next-gen Xperia handsets. Leaked promotional info allegedly from Sony reveals what we are able to anticipate the telephone’s rear digicam array to appear to be.
Based mostly on the leaked advertising picture posted by “X” account
@INSIDERSONY (by way of
Notebookcheck.web), it could seem that every one three rear digicam sensors used on the Xperia 1 VI will weigh in at 48MP. The trio are all Exmor T for cell sensors with a two-layer Transistor Pixel. Final yr’s Xperia 1 V used one 48MP Exmor T sensor for its rear cameras whereas the opposite two cameras had been backed by 12MP sensors.

The leak went into extra element about every sensor used. One of many three Exmor T for cell sensors measures 1/1.4-inch with a 1.12 μm pixel measurement and an aperture of f/1.4. It additionally has full-pixel dual-PD autofocus and might ship 2x optical zoom. The subsequent Sony Exmor T for cell sensor is for the ultra-wide angle digicam and measures 1/2.7 inches with a 0.6μm pixel measurement. It options Sony’s 2×2 On-Chip Lens (OCL) tech that options enhanced sensitivity, seize decision, dynamic vary, and velocity. The third Exmor T for cell sensor is similar measurement because the sensor getting used for the ultra-wide digicam, however this can be a telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom and 6x sensor crop zoom.
The Sony Xperia 1 VI is predicted to be launched on February twenty sixth at MWC 2024 in Barcelona. That was indicated on a second poster shared by @INSIDERSONY.
If a Weibo put up that we mentioned with you final month accommodates legit data, this yr’s Xperia telephones may very well be the final from Sony underneath that model title. Sony is reportedly scrapping the Xperia title for 2025 and can use a brand new design language for subsequent yr’s telephones.
Beginning over from scratch is perhaps one of the best factor for Sony contemplating that the Xperia line has not caught on with the smartphone-buying public leaving Sony with a .35% share of the worldwide smartphone market.
