In just ten days, Sony will be unveiling the Xperia 1 Mk V, a flagship device that was teased over two months ago and is expected to have a design similar to its predecessors. A confirmation of the device’s appearance has now been provided by a billboard in Hong Kong that shows the Xperia 1 with a triple rear camera setup featuring a vertical alignment, larger lenses, and a more prominent oval island.
According to a photo of the billboard posted on Reddit, the Xperia 1 Mk V will have a tagline of “one for all lights” and boast a “next-gen double low-noise camera sensor.” Previous reports have suggested that Sony may use an IMX989 sensor for the main camera, but the company could opt for the IMX858 instead, as it’s the only platform that supports the new low-noise mode LN2 in combination with MCSS (Multi-Camera Synchronisation System).
LN2 works by stacking photodiodes and pixel transistors on top of each other, rather than applying them to the same substrate and plane, resulting in a wider dynamic range, more light, and less noise without affecting overall phone performance. Unlike other manufacturers, Sony is not known for revealing specs early, so we may have to wait until the Xperia 1 Mk V’s official launch on May 11 to learn more details.
