It appears that the camera specifications for the next smartphone, the Sony Xperia 1 VI, have been leaked. The claimed leak is said to have originated from the Chinese social media platform Weibo. Bold claims were made in a previous leak on the Xperia 1 VI, claiming that the updated camera system would not fit three 48 MP lenses. However, since it has the same specifications as the original, this fresh rumor will knock Xperia lovers back to earth.
So, this apparent leaker-in-the-know on Weibo has stated that “it’s a pity” (machine translation) and that it is something that fans will have to accept. “Xperia 1 VI” is used as a post tag, so it is clear what the poster is discussing. The camera specifications are listed as follows:
- 48 MP, f/1.9, 24 mm, 1/1.35
- 12 MP, f/2.2, 16 mm, 1/2.5
- 12 MP, f/2.3, 85 mm, f/2.8, 125 mm, 1/3.5
If those details look familiar to those who keep an eye on the Xperia 1 line, it will be because they are the same camera specifications for the Sony Xperia 1 V, which can be bought unlocked from Amazon. But as we pointed out in our detailed review of the 2023 model, Sony doesn’t target big marketing numbers for its camera specifications and rather focuses on the accompanying software to get the most out of its camera. So, it’s very likely that if the Sony Xperia 1 VI does come with the same hardware, then the upgrades will be on the software side, with enhanced AI tools undoubtedly being part of the mix.
