According to recent rumors on Weibo, Sony’s upcoming Xperia 1 VI flagship could come equipped with the same cameras as its predecessor, the Xperia 1 V. Although the Japanese company has focused on optimizations of the AI-assisted auto mode, it seems that users they will not be able to enjoy hardware upgrades for the main camera setup.
Photo specs would remain unchanged:
| The room | Xperia 1 V | Rumors Xperia 1 VI |
|---|---|---|
| Main | 48MP, f/1.9, 24mm, 1/1.35″ | Identical |
| Ultra-wide | 12MP, f/2.2, 16mm, 1/2.5″ | Identical |
| telephoto | 12MP, f/2.3 (85mm), f/2.8 (125mm), 1/3.5″, continuous zoom | Identical |
Promising software changes but unchanged hardware?
Even if these rumors are confirmed, Sony promises significant improvements on the software side and image processing assisted by artificial intelligence. However, fans of the renowned Alpha division may feel disappointed by the lack of updated photo sensors for the new flagship Xperia.
It is important to note that this rumor comes from a Chinese platform and cannot be taken as such. As we get closer to the launch of the Xperia 1 VI, more leaks could confirm or deny these speculations.
In any case, the community is looking forward to the new flagship of the Japanese company and is closely following the developments in this regard.
