Yesterday Sony announced two new smartphones, the Xperia 1 VI and the Xperia 10 VI. A quick look tells us that the Xperia 10 will be great for photographers, whilst the 1 VI provides a budget friendly alternative.
Here’s a basic summary of what to expect from Sony’s latest!
Sony Xperia 1 VI Phone
The Xperia 1 VI is Sony’s latest flagship offering. It has a 6.5-inch OLED display (the same as the iPhone 11 Pro Max) with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio.
It features a 12MP ultrawide lens, a 12MP telephoto lens with a 7.1x optical zoom, and a 48MP main camera equipped with the Exmor T for Mobile sensor, intended to appeal to photographers.
But the Xperia 1 VI isn’t just about the camera. The “Powered by BRAVIA” tuning on the OLED panel brings further clarity to images and videos, with “full-stage” balanced speakers.
Under the hood, the Xperia 1 VI is powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, paired with 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. This combination of top-tier hardware ensures smoother multitasking and faster performance.
