Here’s the crux of the matter: the upcoming Sony Xperia 1 V details have just surfaced and Sony might just be cooking up a seemingly interesting smartphone. Let’s take a look at the surfaced details and features obtained from sources.
Expected features of the Sony Xperia 1 V
The Xperia I IV has a vertical camera bump with a 12MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultrawide sensor, and a 12MP telephoto sensor. It also features a ToF (Time of Flight) sensor for measuring depth and an RGB IR sensor for fine-tuning white balance. ZACKBUKS, a leaker, discovered a photo of the Xperia 1 V on the Esato forums (via Android Authority) and uploaded it on his Weibo account.
Even though he isn’t certain whether the photograph is genuine, he has made a few fascinating observations. To begin, it appears that Sony’s next flagship will be devoid of 3D ToF and RGB-IR sensors. He goes on to say that the Al focus tracking technology will most likely compensate for the lost ToF unit.
ZACKBUKS also expects the phone will include new primary and ultra-wide angle sensors. That’s intriguing considering a previous leak said the phone would include a new telephoto camera. If both of these reports are true, the Xperia 1 V will have a whole new camera array from top to bottom, perhaps making it the greatest photography phone of 2023.
Aside from that, the camera island now contains the flash unit, making the phone appear cleaner. The microphone has also been mounted on the camera strip for clearer audio recording while filming films. Also, the phone bears an NFC logo, indicating that it is a worldwide model.
According to previous reports, the Xperia 1 V may be significantly less expensive than the Xperia 1 IV to compete with the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. The handset will most likely be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, and it may include a front camera cutout rather than a bulky top bezel. It may also have an in-display fingerprint reader. Sony might announce the phone at MWC Barcelona 2023, which begins later this month, but the actual release could be months away.
