Recently, there has been speculation suggesting that Sony will forgo the 4K display in the upcoming Xperia 1 model, coinciding with a shift in aspect ratio from 21:9 to 19.5:9. This adjustment implies a change in the phone’s dimensions, and a recent leak sheds light on the new measurements.
Reportedly, the Sony Xperia 1 VI is anticipated to measure 162 x 74.4 x 8.45mm, indicating a 3mm reduction in height and a slight increase in width compared to its predecessor, the Xperia 1 V, which measures 165 x 71 x 8.3mm. Renderings from earlier previews suggest that Sony will maintain its conventional design with top and bottom bezels, ensuring that the decrease in vertical space does not compromise features such as stereo speakers and a front-facing camera housed within the bezel rather than the screen.
Regarding the display, it is projected to span 149.6 x 69.4mm, resulting in a 19.4:9 aspect ratio and a diagonal measurement of 6.49 inches. A comparison with the previous model’s screen dimensions reveals a marginal reduction in vertical space (2mm) but an increase in width (almost 5mm).
The Sony Xperia 1 VI is anticipated to make its debut in May. A prior leak suggests that the device may offer an option with 16GB of RAM, while the base variant will likely retain 12GB. Additionally, the leak hints at the existence of the Xperia 5 VI (with 8GB) and Xperia 10 VI (with 6/8GB), although it remains unclear if these models will also be unveiled alongside the Xperia 1 VI in May.
