Sony Xperia 1 VI Price Leak
Sony Xperia 1 VI is set to be officially unveiled in June, and as the date approaches, leaks about the device are becoming more abundant. Just recently, images of the phone’s camera island surfaced, suggesting that the camera modules will be larger compared to those on the Xperia 1 V, directly contradicting an earlier rumor.
Most rumors agree that the Sony Xperia 1 VI will lose the 4K display and adopt a slightly more common aspect ratio. However, one piece of information that hasn’t been mentioned so far is the price. Today, we have some insight into what to expect in terms of pricing. In Taiwan, the phone is rumored to be slightly cheaper than its predecessor, priced at TWD 39,900 ($1,224 or €1,143) instead of TWD 41,990 ($1,288 or €1,204).
Although this isn’t a significant price reduction, and even if this rumor proves accurate, it’s uncertain whether similar price adjustments will be seen elsewhere. It’s possible that this pricing is specific to Taiwan. Nonetheless, it’s reassuring to see that the price isn’t rumored to increase even further compared to last year’s Xperia 1 V.

Sony Xperia 1 VI Screen Details and Design
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.
